Editor: We got earlier statements from the good Cardinal at Enlace Catolico. Here he is again, this time for Vatican Radio and kath.net, saying his piece against these theologians. It's certainly one of the most striking statements from a Curial official so far, and one of the most surprising. Here are some excerpts from his interview as translated at kath.net.

"Churches, which have opted for woman's ordination and the recognition of same-sex partnerships, have put themselves for that reason in a very deep crisis"

I took a college survey course in Christianity way back in the '80s and of the two books assigned for the Catholic phase of our studies I remember a book called "What Are The Theologians Saying?" (1970) by German theologian Monika Hellwig.

Frau Hellwig was very selective in her choice of topics and what do you know? All the theologians leaned left. I don't think they made one correct prediction about the future of the Church. Imagine that.
