Rainbow Crosses?

Part of me is saying that this is a kind of a trap, but it is worth noting anyway, I'll tell you why. I'm being told this represents something called the Cursillo Apostolate (never heard of that before). The Vatican are saying it's the cross of World Youth Day and the colours symbolise the different countries?
A friend said today that the colours are not in the correct order for the gay rainbow and that it could be a ruse chosen to discredit people: "See how paranoid these people are, it isn't even in the correct order".

The thing is -- of course this will worry us given we are drowning in LGBT at the moment and every other address at the Youth Synod seems to be another attempt to push LGBT ideology into the Church. E.G. here's today's dose:
Does it really matter what it really, actually means? What is crystal clear is how it will be read. Another friend commented:
"There’s just lots of ambiguous signs that he supports it and also lots and lots of friendly meetings towards people with that agenda, even allowing them to present at the synod on the family and then making statements against people who try to support traditional marriage."
I think this tweet from Steve Skojec makes the point really well:

Bishop John Arnold - "A Nasty Little Bully"

Pat Buckley has posted  a letter from a Salford priest giving the low down on what is going on in that diocese. I think it is really important because it is a report from the diocese, but also because if you pay attention to communications from the CCBEW you would think Bishop Arnold is the best bishop in the country! This despite the fact he is clearly seriously at odds with much of the Catholic faith and overly concerned with issues best described as mission creep. He advised the Catenian Association to drop "practicing Catholic" from its statutes and is obsessed with CAFOD and climate change, issues which might seem trendy, but in reality only diminish the Gospel. Arnold is chairman of CAFOD and approved the appointment of the current director who is clearly at odds with Catholic teaching . He also loves an "LGBTQI+ Mass" - more on some of that stuff here . To me he epitomises so many of the bishops: he likes the trappings and power but is very uncomfortable wit

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind
