Leave there. Now. YOu as lay people have no power to change anything. You can’t even pick your priests. You cannot get rid of bad ones either.
Get out of there. NOW.
No moral norms anymore ? What next? Altar prostitutes - going back to Ba’al worship?
Wow.... the papists are now basically just Unitarian Universalists (far left homosexual and abortionist advocacy group).
By proclaiming that “...the Catholic Church can no longer set down general norms that apply to entire groups of people...”, he is, by that very statement, setting down general norms that apply to entire groups of peoples.
Seems like half the freepers here missed that this came from a well-known dissident priest who is always writing crap like this.
"They" got rid of Benedict XVI pretty easily. Then there was John Paul I.
No it is not.
Never thought that Gramsci’s Hegemony could destroy the Catholic Church, but it has, and that is a fact.
great!! Now I can beat my wife, go grab a prostitute, some heroin, rob a bodega, hell maybe THE #### out of the guy behind the counter.. /s
as Guns N Roses would say:
“My way your way anything goes tonight!!!”
maybe that’s where Francis got the idea from :)
There is a great line from a prof at Harvard, about how he was “raised Catholic and then he became a Jesuit.” He left the Jesuits about the time he would have been ordained, right before receiving his doctorate at Harvard (which has a fairly inbred theology department).
Then it’s time to learn a new trade. Maybe plumbing?
Not a good trade if you think that male and female can be interchangeable.
The Roman Catholic church has been abolished.
The center does not hold.
“Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” (Yeats)
The Roman Catholic church has been abolished.
We’ll survive this too. The gates of hell won’t prevail, but it is kind of scary when the driver seems to be headed straight for them.
To be pagan means being your own little god. This is what the papal adviser has put out as to position of the curch in moral matters.
Unflippin' believable.
Every day something more anti-God emanates from the Vatican. I wonder how this is going to end for them.
To deny that there are moral absolutes makes all things, including evil, possible and permissible.

I recall a ‘theology on tap’ event some years ago (1998?) in the Boston area where you go to a pub and listen to talks on theology - Catholicism specifically. Two priests on stage were talking about a third who was not present. One of which joked something to the effect, ‘He is at Boston College - I thought they were all Marxists and Homosexuals.’
The ImPopester keeps outdoing himself.
He’s not even pretending to be Catholic.
