Another priest, a theologian for the US Catholic bishops, sent the Pope a letter, and has "resigned".
yes. according to this pope, dogma is not important, ethical behavior is rigidity, and "who am I to judge" covers all sexual sins, (Uh, including those of Harvey Weinstein and Bill Clinton?)
and one suspects things will get worse, if this is true:
Sigh. In my prayers.
Third, faithful Catholics can only be disconcerted by your choice of some bishops, men who seem not merely open to those who hold views counter to Christian belief but who support and even defend them. What scandalizes believers, and even some fellow bishops, is not only your having appointed such men to be shepherds of the Church, but that you also seem silent in the face of their teaching and pastoral practice. This weakens the zeal of the many women and men who have championed authentic Catholic teaching over long periods of time, often at the risk of their own reputations and well-being. As a result, many of the faithful, who embody the “sensus fidelium,” are losing confidence in their supreme shepherd.
But this is big news, because there is a slow schism going on in the Catholic church, and the MSM and the Catholic press is pushing the Pope to make the church into Episcopal lite church, and letting the NWO-Mother Gaia loving types take over all those schools, hospitals, colleges etc.
and that would have both societal and political ramifications.
The way the Pope is heading, he is pushing actual believers into either supporting the "official" politically obedient church, or going underground: a scenario which is what is going on in China today.
And here in the corner: just a few bishops and we lay people (including EWTN, run by lay folks) quietly serving God in the duties of our daily life, and trying to live an ethical and prayerful life in a world where we are considered "despicable".
