“The ultra-evangelical Church of the Confession of Augsburg/Alsace-Lorraine issued a statement after the meeting of its Superior Consistory on December 8, 1973, permitting its members to receive Holy Communion in Catholic churches: ‘We attach great importance to the use of the new prayers [of the Catholic liturgy], with which we feel at home, and which have the advantage of giving a different interpretation to the theology of sacrifice than we were accustomed to attribute to Catholicism. These prayers invite us to recognize an evangelical theology of sacrifice.’”

“Dr. M. G. Siegvalt, a professor of dogmatic theology in the Protestant faculty at the University of Strasbourg, testified that ‘Nothing in the renewed Mass need really trouble an evangelical protestant.’”

“The Protestant theologian Roger Mehl wrote in the September 10, 1970 issue of Le Monde: If one takes account of the decisive evolution in the Eucharistic liturgy of the Catholic Church, of the option of substituting other Eucharistic prayers for the Canon of the Mass, of the expunging of the idea that the Mass is a sacrifice, and of the possibility of receiving Communion under both kinds, then there is no further justification for the Reformed Churches’ forbidding their members to assist at the Eucharist in a Catholic Church.”

So the Protestant desire to rid Catholicism and the Mass of the difficult idea of “sacrifice” (both that of Christ and of Christians) has some bearing on the question of who desired the transition to the Paschal Mystery theology.

Catholics have their anti-Pope.

Now they have to find the real Pope.

The truth has undergone a lot of re-imagining lately. Science, government, history and every other form of reality is subject to constant revisions and amendment. Might as well redo the word of God while we’re at it. After all, man is the ultimate authority on everything, isn’t he? /s

I would encourage people who want to know the truth of the Church’s teachings on the Eucharist and the legitimate development of doctrine thereof, to read the Catholic Catechism’s and Reverend John Hardon’s catechism’s entries on the Eucharist.

Rather than argue the psychologies of man, perhaps our greatest profit is in The Word of God...

11 But now Christ has come as The High Priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 12 and he entered ONCE for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:11‭-‬12 NET

https://bible.com/bible/107/heb.9.11-12.NET

25 And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared ONCE for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice. 27 And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, 28 so also, after Christ was offered ONCE to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.
Hebrews 9:25‭-‬28 NET

https://bible.com/bible/107/heb.9.25-28.NET

10 By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE for all. 11 And every [Levitical Hebrew] priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins. 12 But when [Christ our High Priest] had offered ONE sacrifice for sins FOR ALL TIME, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 where he is now waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by ONE offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
Hebrews 10:10‭-‬14 NET

Article had some validity to it until it became a propaganda piece for the breakaway schismatic SSPX sect... so Francis is radical...Noted - his Papacy could have been different...So we wait...
..Those who are faithful to the Church throughout the centuries understand The Holy Spirit guides The Church... NOT MAN..... The idea that MAN moves the Church ...is a Protestant one...

What exposes these SSPX people in their agenda to reject and take down Rome....like others before them...
Is that they rejected and smeared previous Popes JP2 and XVI - AS WELL...pretty much the same way...They just don’t recognize the Authority of the Barque.
the only difference is with this current Pope he goes out of his way to make it easier for those who have alternative motives - to trash the Church as necessary.

Lies about the SSPX will get you no traction, Murph. Stick with pimping your heretic, Bobby Barron.

What do you think the MAN, Jorge Bergoglio, has been doing for the past eight years, Murph?

And you think, the Killer Bees; Bergoglio, Barron and Biden have been such faithful catholics?

Biden?? who the heck cares about .... biden? Don't bother me with "biden"- get a life...why would you bother with that? He's a corrupt politician... what the heck are you looking for from him?

God is using this Pope the way God needs to ... ours is not to question God - or stop trusting in his providence...if you deny the Holy Spirit in the Church then that's on you, but keep on that path and you will regret it..

Bishop Barron's work is to bring people into communion with the Church.... Going out into a hostile anti- Catholic world you revel in....

Your work seems to be to stop people from coming to the Church and smear and trash any aspect of the Church you can - on any given day... usually 3-4 times a day....

Now I ask ya....
Do you think God finds you more favorable than those on your "hit list"?

(p.s. - Its a trick question...)

Men will come and go, live and die...
But the Church- ON LOAN FROM THE FURTURE - shall endure...

The Church is THE BODY OF CHRIST...

(Not the Body of Man)

Biden is your president; and Bergoglio is your Pope? Why bother with either, Murph? Don't you believe in praying for your fellow man. Have you no charity?

There you go again, bearing false witness. You haven't changed a bit for the better. I pity you in your angry life.

Au contraire. Ask Ben Shapiro; ask Barron's buddy James Martin S.J.

Bobby the Heretic makes no attempt to bring Jews or active sodomites into communion with the Church. He's just a money-grubbing Peronist who tell different audiences what they want to hear. And he has you suckered.

Does that mean you'll passively give Bergoglio's heresies and blasphemies a free pass, just because he is the pope?

Speaking of questioning God, it was Bergoglio who claimed the Blessed Mother despaired and questioned God during her Son's Passion.

Yet every other day, Bergoglio claims he's just listening to the "Spirit". What spirit do you that that would be, Murph?

I understand what your are saying and I was upset when JP2 kissed the Koran. However, I make a distinction betwee JP 2’s non magisterial blunder and the words of a valid Ecumenical Council.

It seems that indeed the Muslims do intend to worship the one true God Catholics worship, but their theology is very flawed. That may be remedied with time.

The fact is obvious that their belief that God is changeable and even capricious has devastating effects spewing forth from it.

But, we know that intent e.g good will, no matter the error, is pleasing to God.

More later maybe.
