That’s 1 for the culture.
0 for the faith.
Whatever happened to, God does not change? He’s the same yesterday today and tomorrow.
If what PopeWatch eludes to is correct then please
pay attention young holy seminarians. Pay attention, those who are discerning the religious life.
Learn from this.
Reformers, Luther for example, have an intent to better the Church. It doesn’t mean the intent is holy, worthy or helpful to fill Our Lords barns with his children.
To hell with the Lavender Mafia.

It would be agreeable if some future Pope were to inform the Society of Jesus that they can apply for incardination in the diocese where they are currently stationed, apply in some other diocese where they have spent more time or where they were ordained, or leave the priesthood. Close every bloody institution they run.
So we now have confirmed the true intent behind the absurdly named Synod on Synodality, which like its most recent predecessors could simply be called “Synods on Normalizing Sin.” I wonder how they will seek to insinuate this into “magisterial” status without admitting their outright rejection of Sacred Scripture?
You keep using that word [doctrine], I do not think it means what you think it means. Was the true aim of Pope Chastisement’s phony little circus ever in doubt? I will say this, he never fails to disappoint.
I would have a slight respect for gay clerics like Hollerich if they stopped using other people as pretexts and human shields for their desire to be celebrated and just admit the truth. But honesty and the Roman hierarchy have not been on speaking terms for the better part of a century, if not much, much longer.
His invocation of remarried-without-annulment types is just another reminder that Amoris Laetitia was really about gents like him.
Frank, you’re absolutely right. That’s what the synod on synodality is all about…
sodom-ality.
(And it’s anti-science. We’re a binary species descended from other binary species, for millions perhaps a billion years. And a waste track is not the same thing as a birth canal.)
Good grief.
I found the CNS article about Cardinal Hollerich’s statement. Under related posts was “Jackass Forever”. I assume it’s a review of the movie and was automatically linked by an algorithm, but it’s fun to imagine other explanations.
This is like the Parable of the Dishonest Manager on steroids. Fixing tickets to curry favor with the world and with worldly sinners.
A change in doctrine? Let’s see now; we agree to no longer believe in what we all agreed we must believe? Is that it? That’s will certainly bring the converts in. Nothing more attractive than flexible truths…..
Anybody want to attend the laity-only Synod On Truth ? It will open with The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass and then, after the Last Gospel and the Prayers At The Foot Of The Altar, all the lay attendees will break into one Large Group – no subterfuge of sensus-fidelium-negating “small groups” reaching “consensus” on acts of perversion as acts of virtue – to discuss the Lay Proclamation Of The Word Of God. And this will include, inter alia, the truth of the doctrine that God, and God alone, can bring reality into existence simply by speaking a word. BTW: ”Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“We’ve had enough exhortations to be silent. Cry out with a thousand tongues – I see the world is rotten because of silence.” [attributed in various wordings to St Catherine of Siena].
“He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.” St. Thomas Aquinas

“ no subterfuge of sensus-fidelium-negating “small groups” reaching “consensus” on acts of perversion as acts of virtue “ thank you Guy. That is an eye opening make-you-think statement. I am sorry I didn’t go to our deanery synodal discussion. I understand it was dominated by the liberal viewpoint. I should not have stayed home silent
