When did my fellow traditionalists lose their ability to reason?

"...group of 8 cardinals hand-picked to advice Pope Francis..."

It's ADVISE, not ADVICE.

[CdMGuy]

A year into his papacy, the jury still is out on Pope Francis. His concentration on the poor, the poor, almost always the poor, and how we should all lower our living standards, is scary, to say the least. When Jesus was criticized for celebrating with his disciples, he said that the poor would always be with us. Pope Francis is a Jesuit, and that alone is beyond worrisome. Aside from Fr. Mitch Pacwa, there are not many Jesuits who are loyal to the teachings of the Church.

I wasn’t aware that being middle-class was something to be ashamed of.

This guy is an idiot.

Maybe pronouncements should be in the form of rhyming riddles, so as to be so enigmatic that they can clarify what was said a half a dozen times.

Cardinal Rodriguez-Maradiaga, “head” of the group of 8 cardinals hand-picked to advice Pope Francis, had this to say recently, regarding the direction of Francis’ papacy...:

The Honduran archbishop, who chairs the Council of Cardinals (C8) that advises the Pope, said Francis “feels called to construct” a Church that is, among other things: “At the service of this world by being faithful to Christ and his Gospel; free from all mundane spirituality; free from the risk of being concerned about itself, of becoming middle-class, of closing in on self, of being a clerical Church; able to offer itself as an open space in which all can meet and recognise each other because there is space for dialogue, diversity and welcome in it.”

My personal Priest, who is in his 70’s, has.always taught that we must be open to diverse groups— not to change the Catholic Church but to help those “diverse groups” on a path back to God. That doesn't mean they're automatically accepted into the church.

And he's always referred to the poor not only as those poor monetarily, but also poor at heart. But, yes, we do need to help all the poor of the world. That doesn't mean it has to be done in a leftist, Socialistic way. Capitalism and good jobs will help the most. It's just a fact that we find ourselves in horrible economic times right now.

The "indefectible church" has defected.

This is all the result of rejecting total Biblical inerrancy over the course of the last hundred years.

free from the risk of being concerned about itself, of becoming middle-class . . .

. . . and free from getting anywhere near my wallet?
