Viganò's letter said that the Pope complained that the Archbishop of Philadelphia was an ideologue—unless I read it incorrectly. It shocked me. Can anyone further explain this claim?
Bergoglio is --- choose one or more --- quasi-Catholic, trans-Catholic, post-Catholic, anti-Catholic.
Bergogio's select buddies often say what he is too crafty and devious to say. His advisor Abp. Charles Scicluna once remarked --- tweeted, I think--- “Whoever wishes to discover what Jesus wants from him, he must ask the Pope, this Pope, not the one who came before him, or the one who came before that. This present Pope.”
As regards reason, this is absurdity; and as regards the Faith, heresy.
Another of Francis' buddies, Fr. Thomas Rosica, his chief English-language communications consultant, made this jaw-dropping freaky statement:
"Pope Francis breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants, because he is “free from disordered attachments.” Our Church has indeed entered a new phase: with the advent of this first Jesuit pope, it is openly ruled by an individual rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture."
He said this approvingly.
It's --- I'm sitting here shaking my head wordlessly --- such obsequious drivel, such... (searching my bad-adjectives thesaurus) such risible rubbish. How can anyone take this crap seriously?
So yeah. Anybody who actually adheres to anything identifiably Catholic, is to be rejected as an "ideologue."
Excuse me. I need a drink.
