The Pope is a fan of starting processes--religious and political:
God manifests himself in historical revelation, in history. Time initiates processes, and space crystallizes them. God is in history, in the processes.
We must not focus on occupying the spaces where power is exercised, but rather on starting long-run historical processes. We must initiate processes rather than occupy spaces. God manifests himself in time and is present in the processes of history. This gives priority to actions that give birth to new historical dynamics. And it requires patience, waiting.Read paragraphs 84-86 of the final synod document with that hermeneutic in mind.
Also, remember what the progs did with the built-in ambiguity of the Vatican II documents.
Celebrate the glorious triumph accordingly.
Jorge Bergoglio is, indeed, a malignancy.

I'm sorry Dale but the Synod is over and nothing happened. Doctrine is the same and so is praxis.
ReplyDeleteYou invested a lot of anger and fear into it being the second coming of the Second Council of Ephesus & the fall of the Church and nothing happened.
If this was such a triumph of progressivism why are the liberals pissed?

Synod ends where it began, in disagreement

PS do the rest of us a favor. Get rid of this UGLY brown background and restore the one with Vatican City. Because one can't take your implicit criticism of the minimalist Church in the photo above seriously when you are rocking this drab blog.
Peace be with you.
Bergolio is an AntiChrist whose heretical quote is a malign mendacity.
ReplyDeleteHis haughtiness has reached astonishing heights as one would expect even a nominal Catholic to know that Revelation ENDED with the death of Saint John.
He can kiss the Irish-Algonquin ass of ABS who ain't going anywhere.
ABS will stay in the Church and fight him tooth and nail. It ain't his Church.
The One Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church has as its head, Jesus Christ, and Bergoglio is headed for hell if he does not repent and abjure his many manifest heresies
Can't say as I agree with either of the above comments.
ReplyDeleteI think it's sufficient to note that he's (1) an obvious progressive, (2) not remotely in the intellectual class of his immediate predecessors, (3) a tiresome scold and (4) is leading the Church in a retrograde manner.
Of course, in most Catholic circles these days, such comment are equivalent of calling him a malignant antichrist. But, still.
