PopeWatch: Faithful Catholics Need Not Apply

Pathetic, old and tired reformers. Hippie folk who hate the idea of tradition and orthodoxy. Too bad.
The Holy Catholic Church will not be ruined by Glory be to Man types.

As far as reaching out to the peripheries absolutely yes. As a good shepherd leaves the flock to find the lost one, we will always continue the search and rescue missions. That doesn’t have to consist of flying a rainbow flag from the flagpole in front of St. Boniface Catholic School. Or for that matter having to use incorrect pronouns in order to perpetuate a lie. Or celebrate Mass with a rainbow linen draped over the altar of sacrifice.

When finding the lost sheep, if the shepherd notices injuries, he goes to work to heal the animal.
So be it with the sad deformities of our day. We heal. We don’t ignore the injuries and pretend that it’s a new understanding of living free. That enabling only confuses the flock and postpones the wellbeing of the injured soul.

Let not the Holy Catholic Church be lead into an identity crisis because the culture leads. Let the Holy Catholic Church lead in her true identity as the means of protecting the flock from those who do not know the way to pure water and healthy grazing land.

The reformers need not apply
as leadership guru’s. This attempt, Sin-odd, is rigged. Seems to be alot of that crap going on these days.

While I find the notion of a “listening church” in the synod on synodality’s framework repellent, in this case I think orthodox prelates and leaders would do well to listen and learn from this. For as reprehensible as the agenda is, those managing the synod understand that allowing dissenting elements to have a voice is at best an inconvenient hindrance to their mission and at worst a form of missional suicide. Orthodox prelates desperately need to learn this lesson so as not to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors in the past century who not only tolerated dissenting elements but in far too many cases elevated them to eventually be in positions like this.

Those managing the synod have no interest in listening to those who dissent from their mission, and while it’s certainly hypocritical given their nauseating emphasis on listening, they are correct (from the tactical standpoint of the furthering of their mission) to not listen to those dissenting elements or include them in levels of influence.

There will be NO listening to those not in favor of destroying the Church!

Pinky,
Their standards are “if you are being open, you will agree with us.” They all but explicitly state that in what was quoted. So they are not interested in listening to others by any sane standards, but by their own standards they are being “open.”
