"Whaaaat? I was promised Bollinger. And it's DOCTOR Ivereigh."
For years I have been saying that the greatest stumbling block to the preaching of the Kingdom and the message of the Gospel today is hierarchs and prelates who are determined that you are Catholic enough to give plenty of cash to keep them in the manner to which they have become accustomed, but not so Catholic that you care, that you recognise when they want to do something that contradicts the faith or cause a fuss or challenge the prevailing culture or embarrass them in any way.
I suppose it has ever been this way, but I do wonder if, in backing Francis, they may just have pushed the business model too far?
A house divided cannot stand (Mt 12:22-28) and, contrary to his role as the great bridge builder - the point of unity for all Christians, Pope Francis continues to factionalise the Catholic Church and pursue ideologically controversial positions which can only possibly divide the bride of Christ even further. It is an incremental heresy which chokes orthodox teaching and practice and allows error to slip through, drip by drip, piece by piece.
Notably, their true orientation and vocation is ever before our eye. Let us talk about, they say, Sex. Their thoughts feelings desires activities are sexual, recognisable to any human being older than a dozen years. Academia devotes much study to the various strands of sex. Rooms-full of young people study sex in various courses, certified with diploma by the Professor Dean Chancellor. Also now broadened and lecherously enfolding our infant children, offering alumni more career paths.
ReplyDeleteFor brevity, extrapolate through our society - copy and paste, varying only in intensity.
Such being the case, the delight of talking about, even singing and chanting about/to God etc etc for which we congregate together is being pushed out, and replaced with yet more sex.
They must put aside their personal cares and works. Their roster is muddled leading to awkward mistakes. Our murderers, rapists, thieves, adulterers, whore mongers, the envious, gluttonous, pimps, harlots, conjurers and occasional good man/woman, know to leave their various personal pastimes at the church door.
Somebody with authority must disabuse the voluptuaries with knitted brow, dispel their confusion and clarify the basic requirements of participation. lol. It is better for them and better for the others.
