President Donald Trump’s former strategic adviser predicts an “existential crisis of trust” in the Church will worsen, especially if Pope Francis fails to dialogue with those he considers to be his opponents.
Widely recognized as a pioneer of the “sovereigntist” movement which claimed a number of victories in the recent European Parliament elections, Bannon believes an absence of such dialogue will lead to growing disaffection in the pews, the Vatican becoming increasingly a “green” political party of the “far-left,” and a possible schism within the Church.
The media executive, political figure and former investment banker sees a need for nuance to overcome widespread polarisation, and proposes a major conference in Rome bringing together faithful from all sides to discuss a way forward. Dialogue, he says, “is the way we hold the Church together.”
In this June 4 telephone interview, Bannon, who comes from “working-class Irish Catholic Democrats” in Virginia, also discusses the controversial China deal with the Vatican, why he wholeheartedly rejects accusations of being anti-Semitic and a fascist, and his project to create an academy to defend the Judeo-Christian West at a 13th century Cistercian monastery near Rome.
Mr. Bannon, judging by the recent European Parliament elections and other examples, the Holy Father seems clearly unwilling to engage with the “sovereigntist movement.” What, according to you, has been his approach exactly?
STEVE BANNON: This has been going on for a while. To analyse it correctly I think you’ve got to bifurcate the Pope as the vicar of Christ on Earth, and the theological and dogma of the Church, versus the administrative side.
The Pope has been blatant since the very beginning. He made a distinct effort to sway the 2016 presidential election when he went to Mexico and celebrated Mass at the border. And what he said on the flight back......

The laity has not been faced with anything like this in living memory. Bannon is right, but it’s not easy.
I keep patiently hoping the laity will rise up, they are the only chance.
When all else fails, hold a conference.

Does that mean Gustavo has wrapped up his 80 million dollar Capital Campaign?
“The ImPopester is a communist.”
But yet you still must follow him and the magisterium and show reverence because they are infallible. So be a good little roman and get back in line your disrespect is unacceptable according to the rcc’s tradition.
I hope y’all rise up too
I’m a Godfather to a lovely lady in Lumberton Texas north of Beaumont
As a Baptist sorta Pentecostal I had to do a weekend orientation with the priest before christening back in 1985
I noticed the priest was sorta prissy and said so to my friend the mom.
She shushed me pretty quick
About seven years ago she called me and told me I was right....he’d been caught with young boys over and over and the Beaumont diocese Bishop had covered it up and big scandal
She was ashamed bless her heart
That sort of thing and now Francis....I’ll never believe Benedict wasn’t forced out by liberation theology elements in the COC that wanted a Francis
Praying y’all take the church back....I value the historical place of the church preserving western civ knowledge and standing against the Arab religion
Any priest who would allow a Baptist to be a godfather at a Catholic baptism is not an orthodox Catholic. I feel sorry for your “godchild”, he/she deserved a Catholic godfather.

It has started. The lay folks have had enough.
It is a great honor to have.
Well he became a better “godfather” than some Catholics.
Yep - they’ll keep making excuses until St. Peter tells them to line up with the goats on the Left....
bump
actually that is not true and not in history.
there have been schisms before and there will continue to be schisms.
Praying y’all take the church back....I value the historical place of the church preserving western civ knowledge and standing against the Arab religion
