@jimbretzke Tells you everything you need to know about the "official papal magisterium." Does one papal magisterium trump another? Do they coexist in contradiction? Is it part of "magisterium" theory that the latest is the greatest?
Pope Leo, today, celebrating Mass in the Basilica of Saint Augustine (Annaba, Algeria): "When we ask ourselves how a future of justice, peace, harmony and salvation will be possible, we must remember that we are asking God the same question that Nicodemus asked: can our story truly change? We are so weighed down by problems, hardships and tribulations! Can we truly start our lives over again? Yes! The Lord’s response, so full of love, fills our hearts with hope. No matter how weighed down we are by pain or sin: the crucified One carries all these burdens with us and for us. No matter how discouraged we are by our own weaknesses: it is precisely then that God manifests his strength, the God who has raised Christ from the dead in order to give life to the world. Each one of us can experience the freedom of new life that comes from faith in the Redeemer. Once again, Saint Augustine offers us an example of this: we revere him for his conversion even more than for his wisdom. In this rebirth, providentially accompanied by the tears of his mother, Saint Monica, he found himself, exclaiming: “I could not therefore exist, could not exist at all, O my God, unless you were in me. Or should I not rather say, that I could not exist unless I were in you” (Confessions, I, 2)."
@60Minutes@jimbretzke McElroy Nevers shuts up long enough to hear anything, Cupich thinks Durbin is a Great Catholic and the less said about the Cardinal Archbishop of the Gridr Archdiocese the better.
@RichRaho@jimbretzke This from the guy who denied Sipe gave him the goods on McCarrick, the guy claimed under Catholic doctrine and teaching he could “venialize”queer sex acts, the bombast who’s achieved nothing except division and strife, John C Murray expert!
