Since VII,ambiguity has been used to pencil in novelties - like the assertion that Muslims worship the same God as Catholics or that our Jewish brothers and sisters have no need of conversion. <br /><br />So what's new?<br /><br />This is a post Catholic age, Julie, wherein the latest shenanigans of AL and women priests is triumphant. Not in official doctrine. Oh, no. But in the exaltation of ambiguity established supposedly for the benefit of the Church and her leadership - yeah.<br /><br />Much like it was determined that the Truth must be crucified for the "good" of the Jewish nation. So refasten that safety belt and understand that we're on the Via Dolorosa. Those who choose to can follow Christ, digging in their nails to hang on to the cross and those who choose to hide will have to spin quickly to avoid the lash. But begging questions? Sorry. Time for that is over.<br /><br />Francis is just the "fruit" of long standing policy that's just gotten bolder as those who refused to jump off the cliff at Satan's behest, but chose to climb down while grasping at what vines they could to keep from plummeting are cast as faithless cowards. Francis, perhaps by God's decree, much like Caiaphas who prophesied the death of Christ, chooses to boldly let go like some sick circus act. Faith? Presumption? We shall see. I believe he is on record saying he's been blessed with a certain oblivion. Holy Valium? <br /><br />It's anybody's guess. But there's no doubt that the Church is following Her Spouse - Truth. Being spit upon, derided, and disowned by those in a position of authority. <br /><br />God help us!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235729013713862652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-20804498487631769382016-06-06T05:35:03.994-04:002016-06-06T05:35:03.994-04:00According to Edward Pentin in “Women’s ‘Ordination...According to Edward Pentin in “Women’s ‘Ordination’ Never, but Dialogue With Vatican OK” in the June 3rd National Catholic Register ( http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/womens-ordination-never-but-dialogue-with-vatican-always-ok ), there is the possibility “that the the Vatican could come up with a reason to lift [the excommunication of ‘ordained’ women] such as claiming … that some of those involved are ‘not really against the Church’s teaching’ or that ‘it’s a “matter of interpretation’” and continue “dialogue” with them but not yet granting them a “mission” or faculties – similar to the manner in which Pope Benedict XVI acted (and Pope Francis has continued) with the Society of Saint Pius X.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045412639600882073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-83672411894063155382016-06-05T20:59:36.040-04:002016-06-05T20:59:36.040-04:00I agree 100%, but it is just the latest example of...I agree 100%, but it is just the latest example of this papacy's Church De-Construction, which has been pursued at every possible point in the last three years. To open up this can of ugly she-worms is just point blank unavoidably a slap in the face to the Catholic faith as far as teaching and tradition. Not to mention, for a person who worries so much about money, he certainly doesn't mind spending it when he wants to, because I'm sure studies like this, commissions, whathaveyou, cost a lot of pesos. This issue was settled, everybody knew it, the dissidents knew it, we knew it, Saint Pope John Paul II knew it, fini. Now, it's open. It's going to stir the pot, get it going again, aggravate some faithful Catholics, and nobody tell me that's not the goal, because at this point, all the evidence is there for anyone with eyes to see. <br />Just another poke in the eye to faithful Catholics and the faith. <br />Where's St. Malachy when you need him.Kathleen1031https://www.blogger.com/profile/10201084623185206141noreply@blogger.com
