Catholic Church Civil War
Right-wing clergy are warning Pope Francis about his “liberal” ways.
Click here for reuse options!Civil war has erupted at the top of the Catholic Church, with 13 cardinals, including Australia’s George Pell, warning the Pope in a letter that the church is in danger of collapsing like liberal Protestant churches in the modern era.
The cardinals say the threat of collapse has been accelerated by the “abandonment of key elements of Christian belief and practice in the name of pastoral adaptation’’.
As well as Cardinal Pell, the Vatican’s Secretary for the Economy, cardinals from Bologna, Toronto, New York, Galveston, Nairobi, Mexico, Utrecht, Durban and Caracas signed the letter, as well as other senior Vatican officials. These included Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah, the church’s Prefect for Divine Worship, and German Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, the Prefect for Doctrine.
The row centres on the three-week Synod on the Family under way in Rome and being attended by about 300 delegates, mainly bishops, from around the world…
The letter complained the process seemed “designed to facilitate predetermined results on important disputed questions’’. Several of the signatories, including Cardinal Pell, have also raised concerns inside the synod…
One point of contention is whether long-established rules should be changed to allow divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive communion…
In a statement released after the leaking of the letter, a spokesman for Cardinal Pell said: “There is strong agreement in the synod on most points but obviously there is some disagreement because minority elements want to change the church’s teachings on the proper dispositions necessary for the reception of communion. Obviously there is no possibility of change on this doctrine.”

The dogma is everything to those close-minded, nasty, bitter old men.

The Church was on its last leg, this Pope has renewed a desire among the younger generations by promoting an acceptance to all, why is this a bad thing? Show me one thing wrong with not casting judgement and opening the tent to include everyone who is simply looking to be healed spiritually.

Seems that way, glad the Pope doesn’t have that thought process.

If the Catholic church collapses, it’s okay by me. Perhaps all the other draconian money-worshipping, women-hating religious organizations will follow suit. Imagine a better world where nobody is profiting off the fears and gullibility of others.

I agree, assassination is a distinct possiblity. Wouldn’t be the first time. Six are known to have murdered and 14 are alleged to have been murdered including John Paul I in 1978. The catholic church is an amazing thing and I don’t mean that in a good way.

In the US, Cat’lick numbers are declining. But dear Gawd, don’t actually try to be relevant. We should be all dogmatism, all the time.

Almost a year ago when I quit my old job , I was very depressed in that situation than I get introduced to following job opportunity online which saved me … I feel blessed for that …. They offer online home based work. Last paycheck after being on this job for them for three months was 7,000 dollars ….
Ø Cool fact about the job is that the only requirement for being able to start is basic keyboard operating and internet facility ….
Ø To know more about it copy the site from name or open my acc0unt …

“Obviously there is no possibility of change on this doctrine.”
Obviously, you like having your numbers of parishioners keep dropping year after year.
