From the article:
A Church-that-doesn’t-discriminate is Cardinal Hollerich’s proposal for the Church’s mission in today’s world. A Church that proclaims the Gospel in a radical way: “We are called to proclaim good news, not a set of rules and prohibitions”. A Church that wants to proclaim the Gospel “primarily through its commitment in the world to the protection of creation, to justice, to peace”. In today’s world, he says, it is not what we say but what we witness that is received. According to him, the encyclical Laudato sì’ is understood and appreciated even by non-believers because it is the proclamation of a ‘new humanism’, which is not a political proposal but is Gospel.
Hollerich’s is the proposal of the Church today: “Start from reality, that reality that sees us all as creatures and children of the same Father”. Reality, however, is not what it should be, and starting from reality can also mean starting from something corrupt and deviant. If by reality we mean the existent, starting from the existent is insufficient, brotherhood is founded on the truth and not merely in being, a discriminating look, an evaluative light is needed beforehand. Therefore, the starting point is not from the existent, but from the eternal, which then gives light to the existent because it stops us falling into its traps.
Hollerich’s Church has now completely metabolised secularisation, which is seen as positive and irreversible. This means accepting mere existence as normal, denying the possibility of a fallen situation. The blessing of homosexual couples means the blessing of the existent simply because they exist. As if sin, both original and the present, no longer exists. It also entails two important novelties in today’s Church: the first is that one can and must collaborate with everyone; the second is that one must bend absolute moral principles so as not to be divisive. Not collaborating with everyone and being divisive would in fact mean being discriminating, and today’s Church thinks it can no longer be so.
The existent shows the ‘anthropological changes’ on which Hollerich insists with great concern, emphasising that they are no longer only cultural but now are physical and genetic. But with the criterion of non-discrimination of the existent, how is it possible – one wonders – to counter such a revolutionary, imposing, and very rapidly changing existent? How can we not see in the anthropological changes of the new Adam, the extreme outcomes of that secularisation that the Church of today accepts and welcomes as positive, so as not to discriminate against secularised mankind? That is, the mankind which no longer exists?
The Church that the powers that be wish to bring into being is the Church as Leftist NGO. It would be the Catholic Church in name only.
I think Hollerich forgot that Heaven and Hell are discriminatory and mutually exclusive.
“…not a set of rules and prohibitions.” Really? What if I want to run my air conditioner? What if I want to continue to burn fossil fuels? I haven’t “received” Laudato si so nothing contained in it has any relevance to my life. Tell me I’m wrong. Honestly, these pagan freaks are immune to any recognition of their complete hypocrisy. But as for me and my house, we will worship the Lord!
“When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth? -Luke 18:8
“When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the ear”Luke 18:8
Need it be said that these men clearly have no Faith? Never mind the teachings of Christ. Whatever I want, is good. God is, to them, just a convenient myth. This “church” of theirs will inevitably die out. Unfortunately, most of us will already have left this world by that time. The younger generation of priests will turn the ship back toward Truth, but it will be a long haul.
this is what happens when clergy are taught by those who know nothing about theology or philosophy.
Imagine.
John Lennon whispers and part of the Church listens.
Unreal.
Harmony. Tranquility. Peace. (?)
Good luck with that non-discrimination theory as degeneration sets the reality of the day. Abortions. Homosexuality.
Transgenderism. Are these realities fruitful and multiplying God’s creation, humanity?
Maybe, in Hollerich’s case, John Lennon was right? Maybe Christ got it all wrong and the two thousand years of weathering storms of heretics wasn’t enough? Maybe..just maybe, sin isn’t a reality?
Not betting my eternity on it.
Cardinal Hollerich has been indoctrinated inot John Lennon’s
IMAGINE
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
Ah
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
The poet in John Lennon captured the zietgeist.
Sorry Philip. I had not read your post before I spoke. I second the motion.
Only sins against the Holy Spirit are unforgiveable because the sins against the Holy Spirit leads souls away from Christ.
When you push contraception, vocations to religious life and priesthood go down.
When those go down, you are only left w NGOs, like Soros open door society.
They are all connected w the active homosexual priests at the bottom. This is their legacy and fruits.
We were promised one would be beat more severely than the other tho.
“When you push contraception, vocations to religious life and priesthood go down”.
Contraception prevents both men and women to realize their full potential which inhibits their reaching their destiny.(and having no legacy)
Mary.
No apologies needed.
It never changes. New humanism scribbles have come and gone. Christ. The same yesterday, today and tomorrow. As for me and my household, we will serve God.
Homosexuality in action, the acts thereof, are and will always be an abomination in the sight of God.
I agree with you on the unforgivable sin. I pity the fools who speak other than a YES or a NO. Their mouths are filled with deceit. Contemptible.
As noted above…
the young Holy religious will turn the ship back to the harbor of eternal rest. As for the hippie “man” centered religious. They better study up for their final exams.
Death…..Judgement….Heaven….Hell
Philip: I second the motion of all that you have written.
The attempt to turn the Church into another leftist NGO long precedes Jorge Mario Bergoglio planting his back side on the Chair of Peter.
By more than a century, perhaps even two.
But Rome turned the papacy into a theological Death Star, and the non-believers in clerical drag finally have control of it.
Modern Cardinal: “We are called to proclaim good news, not a set of rules and prohibitions”.
Jesus: “Repent, for the Kingdom of God has come near.”
Modern Cardinal: “Proclaim the Gospel primarily through a commitment in the world to the protection of creation, to justice, to peace”.
Jesus: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.”
Modern Cardinal: “The encyclical Laudato sì’ is understood and appreciated even by non-believers because it is the proclamation of a ‘new humanism’, which is not a political proposal but is Gospel.”
St. Paul “If anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed!”
I don’t see much evidence of Leftism at the top of the Church until after World War II. Pope Francis has taken any existing trends that predated him and put them on steroids.
The modernist crisis and the mass defection of clerics during the French Revolution were signs of something bad re: secularization in the bloodstream. The infection had few outward symptoms, but something large and sinister lay beneath the surface.
“Pope Francis has taken any existing trends that predated him and put them on steroids.“
No question about that. But pieces were firmly in place for some time before he got there.
Can we ignore the Pope, bad Cardinals and bad Bishops while still keeping the Faith on earth?
I suppose we can because Christ is Truly Present in the Eucharist, but man .. it’s not going to be easy.

In 2nd Corinthians 12, St. Paul gives us great reassurance on the future and our time on earth. David WS. We are here. It’s our time.
We show up..regardless of our capabilities..and we stand firm in our Faith;
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.
I take great HOPE and strength..not of my own..but in Him who has made me for this time. Our time.

From Morning Prayer on Nov 4 –
READING
Hebrews 13:7-9a
Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you; consider how their lives ended, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching.
Seems like many in the hierarchy today were absent when this was taught in the seminary.
