@FlatCath Something between these two extremes is preferable. Kids say hi to the guest and shake hands or whatever without this being some kind of military drill.
@Catholicizm1 You can put a date on this radical change: October 11, 1962.
It was a definite intention inaugurated by John XXIII in the Opening Address of Vatican 2:
He states it in the clear. The Catholic Church will break with the all past history and no longer condemn evil.
@Catholicizm1 Taking a soft approach to sin is why there are so many Protestant and Catholic churches that are full of heresy. Preachers who look at the guy in Corinth banging his wife and mother in law, “We’re all welcome, and who are we to judge you? Love is love!”
@dianemontagna Bravo.
Now we need to hear from the bishop of Fatima, The Knights of Columbus, and the Cardinal of Washington DC. Remove all the ugly,Satanic mosaics of Fr Marco Rupnik.
The Bishop of Lourdes has announced he “cannot ignore” the “great distress” that #Rupnik’s mosaics (on the façade of the Marian Shrine) may cause victims, who come to the Immaculata seeking healing. He is therefore considering whether they should be taken down. Translation below:
“Rome should ask itself why more & more priests & laity are inclined, with veneration, toward the TLM. The anti-TLM obsession is an ideology that canonically becomes a tyranny. Young people aspire to a worship that responds to the truth of faith: worship of God, not of man.”
VATICAN CITY—Jesuit @hans_zollner has resigned his position serving within Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.
He notes several areas of concern, including transparency, compliance and financial accountability.
No mention of abuse cases of fellow Jesuit, Marko Rupnik, playing a role.
Pope Francis today:
"It will not be Rome to tell you what you should do, no: because you have the charism. ...you have the Holy Spirit for this. If Rome were to begin to make the decisions it would be a blow to the Holy Spirit, who works in the particular Churches."
Ivereigh wins the prize for mendacity:
“Dr Weigel claims Francis has taken from US bishops the right to provide liturgies for traditionalists, yet Traditionis Custodes returns to all bishops both the need to provide for and the authority to regulate the pre-Vatican II Mass.”
