The Pope was a bit too obviously kissing the hind end of the Lavender Mafia this time, his weasel words notwithstanding, and the lobsters in the pot took notice of the increased heat.

The document wasn’t needed.
Now you sleep in the bed you made.
Goodnight.
“Kissing the hind end of the Lavender Mafia” –> considering what Fiducia Supplicans authorizes, an appropriate metaphor.
Here’s a link to the article
Never interrupt the Pope when he is making a mistake.
That the pope is being put into a bind by an underling whom the aforementioned pope put into that very position and whose scheme the same pope approved is an interesting, albeit not terribly convincing notion, IMO.
To be fair, underlings down the hierarchical chain in all kinds of organizations do rogue things. The highest authority can’t necessarily always stop them or prevent them from happening. But what matters is what the response is when they do happen, which then demonstrates what the highest authority thinks of those things by what he is willing to tolerate, especially from those higher up the chain.
Camaroon Bishops;
*”Homosexuality falsifies and corrupts human anthropology and trivializes sexuality, marriage and the family, the foundations of society,” read the Cameroon bishops’ statement. “In fact homosexuality sets humanity against itself and destroys it.”
Bishops with the RIGHT sense of Mercy.
False mercy destroys.

These written blessings would seem to be counter to the spontaneous nature of the blessing that was encouraged by the document.
As such, it seems outside the scope of what has been authorized by the document itself.
I think this to be sound interpretation of a poor document, but I doubt that will stop those who insist on acting in bad faith. In a similar way, the Mass I usually attend includes an extraordinary minister of Communion, though the need for such is clearly lacking with an attendance if under 100. This also is a bad faith contradiction of the authorizing document.
Our opposition does not believe in justice. They believe in using rules to thwart opposition to their desires.
Sadly, I don’t think this is the case. The document seems to not be using “spontaneous” in the sense of something that isn’t “planned” or “pre-arranged” or anything like that. Rather, “spontaneous” seems to be set in opposition to “liturgical,” which would mean that as long as the blessing of sodomitical or adulterous or fornication-y “couples” doesn’t take place within a liturgical context or using liturgical formulae it would be “licit.”
Thus Fr. Martin (for example) would seem to have been completely within the document’s guidelines when he specifically called up a sodomitical “couple” to be blessed and arranged for the NYT’s photographers to be there to capture it. Not “spontaneous” in the normal sense of the word but certainly “spontaneous” in that it wasn’t done during a liturgy or using liturgical formulae.
In that light a blessing on a parchment could be just as “spontaneous” as Fr. Martin’s contrived blessing. I’d wager that there will also be photographers present for the signature, although I’d very much love to be wrong.
I forgot that the leftist does not prefer the plain meaning of words, but prefers to make up erroneous meanings as they go along 🤦
Granted not everybody is fully versed in Francis. Not every catholic comprehends the reality of where we are or what he’s doing. But no one, no one, should be imagining his words and actions are not his own, or that, he is not 100 percent responsible. He IS the hind end. He is The Destroyer, possibly the False Prophet.
Go to Confession, friends.

Isn’t a call for P. Frank’s resignation well in order now? After all he’s failed miserably as pastor and teacher of faith.
I just remember quite well all the smug bishops on the left proudly calling for P. John Paul’s & Benedict’ s resignation (the late Archbp. John Raphael Quinn of San Francisco was a prime example).
Oh well.
He really stepped in the proverbial now hasn’t he?….
