De Omnibus Dubitandum Est.

To our bishops and cardinals -- we can't trust you! We want to trust you, but we can't. The only time we hear from you is when you want our money! We are Catholic -- does any of what we believe matter to you???

Another really long video, this time from Steve Skojec of 1 Peter Five , looking at the aftermath of the Amazonian Synod with in depth coverage of the bad things and the positive things to come out of this shocking synod. Steve always brings his own humour to these presentations, as well as offering measured, prudent, and incisive commentary.

Are you in favor of, or against, the repeal of celibacy? “Of course I am against it,” the cardinal responded. Are you in favor of, or against, female priests? “I am very decisively against it,” replied Cardinal Müller. Are you willing to defend Amoris Laetitia? “As far as it is possible for me,” the Prefect of the Congregation for the Faith replied: “there still exist ambiguities.” Are you willing to retract your complaint concerning the dismissal of three of your own employees?
