Unfortunat...I share your good, bad and annoyances. Unfortunately for me the bad and annoyances far out way the good. This Pope seems to breed error through his flexible words and actions which can be interpreted broadly. He is soft on sinful behavior. This is compounded by his seeming inability to clarify at appropriate times. Add to this his seeming love-lust for non-catholic involvement in solidly catholic events and it is a very slippery slope. Personally I am reserving my judgement for the results of the synod of the family. I am praying Catholic teaching will be solidly, without any doubt, upheld.<br /><br />Thank you for giving voice to what hopefully so many of us are thinking.<br /><br />God Bless, from a fellow Connecticut Catholic.Sensei Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139500666718123583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-90156792567455070172015-09-29T12:39:21.282-04:002015-09-29T12:39:21.282-04:00The council was doomed, Julie, because it was over...The council was doomed, Julie, because it was overcome by those who adopted modernism as their creed. And that was accomplished, in part, by asserting ambiguous "pastoral" speak in the Vatican II documents themselves. Just like the modernists are foisting ambiguous "pastoral" speak into Synod documents.<br /><br />VII - "pastoral" council that while supposedly not changing doctrine asserted the notion that Muslims worship the same God and Jews need not convert to the Catholic Faith. Hmmm. (Not quite, "Outside the Church there is no salvation.")<br /><br />October Synods - "pastoral" get together that while supposedly not changing doctrine attempts to assert the notion that those living in adultery should have a path to receive the Sacraments without benefit of annulment and that the Church must look to find the good in homosexual relationships. (Not quite the words of Our Lord that clearly outline adultery and/or the grave condemnation of sodomy.)<br /><br /><br />I understand that you find very little wrong with the Vatican II documents themselves. That is likely because you are looking to read them from the position of orthodoxy. But make no mistake, this hullabaloo about the October Synods is only a hullabaloo because folks are getting news about the machinations behind the scenes. In reality, it is just more business as usual with a larger press corp and the internet. And when error, to include obfuscation,is accept by way of being swept under the carpet the only thing that results is the emboldening of the enemy.<br /><br />So let's pray for the Pope to speak and act clearly - to include amending those aspects of VII which let in that Smoke of Satan. The smoke that was previously kept at by clear communications and action on the part of the Popes.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235729013713862652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149438906545544596.post-73858767843468680272015-09-29T11:41:58.260-04:002015-09-29T11:41:58.260-04:00Hello Patty,

It is the natural flowering of modernism and the "evolution" of doctrine. Part of that evolution process was facilitated via the changing of the mass from the TLM (which reinforces Catholic teaching via symbols) to the ambiguity/flexibility/autonomy of the Novus Ordo Missae. And considering Paul VI got rid of the Oath Against Modernism, well, it's pretty easy to connect dots.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235729013713862652noreply@blogger.com
