The Pope is opposed to central control in the Church, except when he isn’t:
Pope Francis, with an Apostolic Letter issued motu proprio, and entitled Authenticum charismatis, has modified Canon 579 of the Code of Canon Law concerning the erection of institutes of consecrated life.
With this amendment, new institutes of consecrated life and societies of apostolic life must receive written approval by the Apostolic See, which alone has final judgment as regards their erection. Previously the law stated that Diocesan Bishops could establish new institutes with prior consultation with the Holy See.
The new law will be promulgated by publication in L’Osservatore Romano. It will enter into force on 10 November 2020 and will be subsequently published in the official commentary of the Acta Apostolicae Sedis.
Go here to read the rest. And thus the Pope continues his squalid war against new orthodox orders. As far as this Pope is concerned, heretics are to be embraced and the orthodox are to be smashed.
Strange ad at the bottom of the link:
“Your contribution to a great mission: Support us in bringing the Pope’s words into every home.”
Francis’ words are our mission?
Well, Jesus’ are antiquaited and need updating. That’s where Jesuits come in… 🙂
