I googled the names, etc. and didn't find any other reference to this panel discussion. One hopes this little Herald piece is all the attention they get!

What you've all been waiting for -- what BC "experts" are looking for in the next Pope! ;-)
Good for a laugh anyway . . .

Why do people always treat a schism like a bad thing? Was it bad for Judas to flee the Last Supper? Should Christ have accomodated His desires?

The schism already exists. If they want to make it "official", let them, and good riddance!

Why do people always treat a schism like a bad thing? Not everyone always. The thing is these people want to avoid a schism by making us all go over to their side. I'm sure someone on that panel made it clear that we're the divisive ones!

Could it be that the first proposal helps achieve the second, at least in their mind? Either that or the second helps with the first -- along with a smorgasbord of other delights!

Exactly my thinking. Let's not stand in the way of a healthy self-purge.
It's best not to count on most liberals though, to stand on principle. They want the infrastructure, the historical pedigree and imprimatur attached to Rome, which I'm not sure it would be wise of the Traditionalists to give up without a good, solid, very protracted, front and center, visable to all, fight.

The same principle applies to CINOs in general. Being Catholic to many is a sort of nice, cultural status to have, which in essence, has nothing to do with faith.
One good trend I see is that the kids of CINOs are increasigly not even calling themselves Catholic. So, at least the younger generation of CINOs sees the hypocrisy and seeks out their own religion rather than trying to pervert the Church.

What Im hoping for is a weaker pope, Sister Mary An Hinsdale, an expert on ecclesiology and womens issues in the church, said during a panel discussion on next weeks historic papal election. What I'm hoping for is a pope who will enforce the mandatum.
I won't miss you sister.

Oddly, the truth of this statement is not affected by the change in wording :-)

Ah, yes, the barely-Catholics want a barely-Pope.

I won't miss you sister. As Howie Carr would say, "How can we miss you, if you won't go away?"

As Howie Carr would say, "How can we miss you, if you won't go away?" LOL! He's now available on streaming audio on wrko.com, so the rest of the country can enjoy him. He's New England's best kept secret. I'd love to see him skewer liberals on a national level, but I'd hate to give him up. "Mr. Speakah!"

It is my impression that the self-styled "traditionalists" have already gone.

Well, they have definitely succeeded at creating a much weaker and much more intellectually feeble Catholic academia. They would definitely know a thing or two about how to "weaken" institutions of the church.
To: maryz
What Im hoping for is a weaker pope, Sister Mary An Hinsdale, an expert on ecclesiology and womens issues in the church, "so that I can get away with pretending to offer the mass, revise the scriptures to be more in accord with deconstructionist GLBT dialectical theory, develop a liturgy for the blessing of an abortion, and marry my cat."
Well, all right, she didn't really say that ...
