Pope Francis: Dismantling Marriage

In the context of this article by the excellent Phil Lawler, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski offers the following comment: Not long ago, I was involved in a fairly intense discussion of whether Pope Francis is an evil man. One side said "yes, absolutely, you can see that from his years-long patterns of equivocation, ambiguity, and deception, his personnel selections and promotions, his attitude of contempt for tradition, his arrogance, insults, etc." The other side said "no, we don't know enough about his internal state, his knowledge, his capacities, to be able to make such a claim. All we can say is that he's confused, mistaken, and misled." I tried for a while to hold the second position, but then I gave up, as it's so counterfactual. Just read this piece (if you dare) by Phil Lawler about the pope's recent Roman Rota speech, and see what conclusions you draw about the kind of pope who could say such things.

Establishing a New Object of Worship

Above: Pachamamma. The bishop of Brentwood Diocese Rt. Rev. Alan Williams recently wrote to all diocesan clergy explaining that “the Catholic Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are issuing a Pastoral Letter about the role that the Catholic Church and our faith must play in our shared care for God’s gift of creation.” “...must play...” No doubt this was written at the bishops Low Week Meeting.  I found its contents really rather disturbing although it does present us with a really good indication of the disastrous state of affairs in the Catholic Church at the moment. Bishop Alan specifically asks that this is made available or read at Pentecost, here it is, nice and early for your delectation: It is accompanied by this awful “novena” which re-enforces the message in the Pastoral letter ad nauseam .   I won’t post any more to spare you.  But what a great shame they didn’t take this opportunity to give some real encouragement to the faithful and to their priests — especially as many

Cardinal Nichol’s Checklist for Priestly Formation

Image
What is required for the proper formation of priests in the Archdiocese of Westminster? When writing the job description for the new Pastoral Director at Allen Hall Seminary in Chelsea, what was on the checklist for the Cardinal? Well, looking at the appointee, Fr Philip Dyer-Perry it appears the check list included: Support for legal abortion, condemnation of pro-life clergy Support for LGBT issues Support for BLM Liturgy abuse on a scale not seen since 1970 I have heard from a number of Westminster clergy over the last couple of weeks concerned about the appointment which one priest described to me as “wrong in every way”. This really is a head scratcher, what is Cardinal Nichols thinking? Some clergy have speculated that this appointment is about moving a problematic priest away from the people. This is the kind of strategy which got the Cardinal in trouble with the IICSA . One priest said that he was being put there for his benefit more than for the students but seminary does not e
