ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Pope Francis has launched a wonderful pastoral moment that is “unfolding with a new depth” in the life of the Church, San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy told members of a progressive priests’ organization here that was founded in 2011. “The emergence of this pastoral theology” in the last five years is like the spirit of change in the years leading up to Vatican II, McElroy told more than 200 people, mainly priests, attending the seventh annual national conference of the Association of U.S. Catholic Priests (AUSCP) meeting from June 25-28 (uscatholicpriests.org) here in New Mexico.

The gathering’s theme was “The Church in a Post-Modern World: Spirituality and Ministry in a Secular Age.”

I’m wondering what a ‘progressive priest’ is. What is the goal of this progress, and is it Biblical or worldly?

Mc is among the worst of a bad lot of U.S. bishops. Total liberal with zero interest in defending the Catholic faith.

In this sequence, the bishop said, the Lord first embraces the person, then heals them, then calls the person to reform. The order in which the three are done is essential, he said.

How seductive. Jesus called upon people to "repent and come unto Me." This 'new' order allows these liberals to fully embrace LGBT under the guise that they will reform later.
