The bishops want to transfer their power to a consortium of lay theologians and functionaries with modernist liberal conviction.
A much needed insights into the direction that the church is taking under this Pope.
It had faltered a long time ago especially the financial reforms. Nothing really got going.
I prayed everyday that Pope Francis 1st, and the leadership of the Vatican City( Cardinals) will lead back to back as a more Conservative teaching of Church doctrine, before they came in, since Pope Benedict XVI 🙏🙏🙏
So good to have you back. I missed your weekly video.
I'm not touching any AI in any form...at least willingly. Not for me.
You cannot reform an organization where the true power rests in the hands of those with no desire to be reformed.
If Francis was serious, he would fire Cdl Dolan
Oh he’s serious all right.☹️
Don't hold your breath
Dolan is a backslapping backstabber.
Or both of them.

Please no women deacons in the Catholic Church! You can only see the other Christian Churches, example ( The Church Of England) not many go to Sunday services!
It’s just a stepping stone to female priests! 😢😡
24:21 A "Brave New World" as Aldous Huxley might say!
More like 1984!
Zanchetta, Grassi, McCarrick, Daneels, Rupnik vs Zen, Burke, Strickland
And Pacapapa 😈 on the top of the heap
So you were hanging with Jimmy Martin and Cardinals McElroy? Are you a fan of Ted McCarrick and Fr. Ruptnik?
Neither the pope nor bishops nor anyone need to be listened to if they contradict the teachings of Christ and scripture. The devil sows confusion and division. That's the fruit visible in today's church. Pathetic.
Leviticus 18:22 has been translated in common English versions as: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination.
And when you’re an abomination you try to obscure that bit of scripture. What would St Catherine of Siena say?
Would a lateral (and possibly intended) benefit of the new emphasis on synodality be ecumenical progress with Orthodox Christians, who are more synodal, before 2054, the 1000th anniversary of the Catholic-Orthodox rupture?
Your characterization of Fiducia supplicans was a little disingenuous. The document does not merely call for the blessings of individuals in irregular marriages; it obliges priests to bless same sex "couples", per se. The term, couple, of course, is intentionally slippery, but one may safely assume that the physical manner of sexual coupling is undoubtedly operative in the intention of the requesting of such blessing, and in the reception of the blessings. The Russian abreaction is understandable.
Which mafia? the Lavendar one
Why world is so blind and unable to kick
out this tug immediately
out of the church?
........?.......
John,
You mentioned Rupnik's mosaics in high profile Catholic churches. Then you said the National Cathedral in Washingtion. The National Cathedral in DC is the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Washingtion. It is not Catholic. Perhaps you meant the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in DC.
A new anonymous cardinal letter to fellow cardinals ala Demos memo 2 published in New Daily Compass and advertised on X by Cardinal Zen:
"Its shortcomings are equally obvious: an autocratic, at times seemingly vindictive, style of governance; a carelessness in matters of law; an intolerance for even respectful disagreement; and - most seriously - a pattern of ambiguity in matters of faith and morals causing confusion among the faithful. Confusion breeds division and conflict. It undermines confidence in the Word of God. It weakens evangelical witness. And the result today is a Church more fractured than at any time in her recent history.
The task of the next pontificate must therefore be one of recovery and reestablishment of truths that have been slowly obscured or lost among many Christians"
Sounds like our prayers are working against Francus's bizarre innovations. Christus vincit!
We can wait. Couture.
It isn’t reform.
Re: a definition of Synodality - My first and best source and I suggest these also to you, John, are The Reform of the Papacy and Ever Ancient, Ever New, both written by the late Archbishop John Raphael Quinn. But I’m guessing you may have read both of these perceptive, very though provoking works concerning the life of the Church and its structures of governance and ministry.
walking together, while talking.
He's been off the rails ever since the day he was elected!
Light case of pneumonia and, goodwilling, "the last week of this church"
Please leave your protestant CULT.
"Both" sides???? What do you think is going on???

Is this the John Allen of the national catholic reporter?
Yes
Reform or deform? He is doing a good job at deforming the Church.
At 27:40 John Allen says ‘we don’t exactly know where Pope Francis stands on either of those two issues’. That is not true. One of the ‘two issues’ that John Allen refers to is the relaxing of celibacy rules so as to allow married Priests in the Roman/Latin Rite. In response to some journalists questions, Pope Francis reaffirmed the gift of celibacy, reaffirming the good that it does in the Church. In fact, Pope Francis ‘declared he’d rather die than be the one who undermined this noble tradition [celibacy]’. While it’s not true that we don’t know where Pope Francis stands on these issues (we do know), what John Allen says about the Holy Father having had sufficient time to enact these reforms is true, especially in light of the many synods, like the Amazon Synod, which discussed such reform indicating the Pope’s unwillingness and reluctance to enact such change.
Oh Francis the Merciful, the smell of the sheep. No thanks
I love the way you pronounce "Pew-tin"
Francis...
Jesus should be sent. Unfortunately he hasn't returned.
John, you are either joking or lost a direction ⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️. Pacapapa 😈 is not anymore a true Pope. In fact he never was. So sad Indeed 😭
This segment would be better if it was
shorter - 30 minutes of this voice is more Lenten penance than I can do.
Listen at 2x speed then it’s only 15 minutes.🤣
I love Crux - he lays down the Catholic news of the day.
John, welcome back - but your entire first item was a complete waste of time. You know PERFECTLY well that "NATO barking at Russia's door" was NEVER the SLIGHTEST actual danger - and even if it had been, would still be nothing to do with the reason for Putain's invasion.
And even if it HAD been, would STILL be irrelevant! Your métier might well be Catholic journalism - rather than world politics (although clearly, there is some degree of overlap) - but I repeat, you are perfectly well aware, as is everyone at the Vatican, that WHATEVER Putain says at any theoretical future peace negotiations, is utterly immaterial as we can all bet everything we own with a 100% chance of winning the bet, that at some future point, likely years not decades, Putain will be back at his old ways, only this time bigger, stronger and better prepared. Do clear is that future path - that any attempt to cut it short for the sake of saving lives today, would represent, in Catholic terms, a mortal sin. I'm not even a believer - but I know that if there is a god up there, he would surely be mightily displeased at the trading of one life today, for instead, two, in 4 or 5 years time....
Sometimes, the wisest, most humane and least bad way forward, is to let 'em slug it out - and hope the righteous Ukrainians win....
Somehow I think that going from premier of Russia to gravy soaked French fries is a promotion.
Having said that, the Russian Orthodox, like most Orthodox, are very anti-gay.
Rupnik's art looks like aliens with dead eyes- quite fitting for a sexual and spiritual abuser.
Oh yes. Ukraine, that bastion of uncorrupted freedom. Give me a break
Faltering? No. Still rolling along, then - as the song used to say .. with one wheel on the wagon? Yes, and then some. And that, dear soul, is the root of the 'problem' facing Pope Francis' version of progress in reforming the progression of reform in reformative progress, synodically, that once seeming unstoppable Juggernaut is just grinding on in an ever-deepening self-made groove.
A la Mode: '68 is now terribly passé .. mais AD 1962, c'est très chic .. and perhaps AD 1958/ 1945/ 1570 is even chic-er. 'Time' and times are like that, unforgiving of the strictly unfashionable .. unless being unfashionable is also the fashion of that 'time'.
So hitching our wagon to a clapped-out nag, already past its sell-by-date when first chosen, was, is, and shall continue to be a mistake .. moreover, it is not at all the Catholic Way.
Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek.
God bless. ;o)
His name also Francis
stolen name from Spanish
Royal family.
And he married king Carlos

against catholic principle?
Let us know when Pope plans to Moscow. (See Marion prophecy).
Such nonsense. Any reform in the Church can only be measured over decades and even centuries. It is GOD’s work, using flawed human beings. Just be patient and keep praying. +
Just a friendly reminder to show politicians that Americans have passed high school or college Biology this election. Yes, his 23 chromosomes plus her 23 makes a NEW person. All the slogans that say otherwise are either LIES or made by people who are terribly misinformed. When one is pregnant, one has already Reproduced! That new little human being may have a different sex than the mother or a different blood type. The sex is capable of being known by a blood test 8 weeks after conception. If male, the Y chromosome shows up. ( Also by outward anatomy seen on an ultra sound or at birth - tell this to our schools and politicians!)
A doctor gives a shot to the woman after abortion because the child's and the mother's blood type might not have matched and this rh factor has been known since 1939 to cause problems for later pregnancies. Also, humans don't grow extra body parts; we don't "regenerate" like sea stars or lizards. Humans don't get an extra beating heart or brain waves or legs that kick or fists that punch. So, that little human is NOT her body. That is a separate body that belongs to her child.
Tell politicians we don't want ignorant persons or liars to run our country. We've taken Civics! We've taken Social Studies! We know we have a democratic REPUBLIC. We've said the "Pledge of Allegience to the Flag" a thousands of times through school. It says REPUBLIC. Hum the much loved Civil War era song "Battle Hymn of the Republic". We have a Republic. How come some of our leaders don't KNOW this? Ignorance or lies?
Ever been to Yosemite or seen pictures? It used to be covered by glaciers. Ever read or seen the movie, "Grapes or Wrath"? Weather changes happen. Antartica used to be green. The Mojave Desert was once covered by water. The issue is reliance on foreign oil and maintenance of our own resources- not weather. We've taken geography, literature, history, and earth science!
Let's offer counseling and compassion for the sexually confused and remind them to take their problems to their doctors or psychologists - not to children's classrooms. It's OK to act like a responsible adult on these matters.
Let's stop voting for ignorant and or weak leaders this election. God bless America! Make your vote count!
It’s the media that trains us to believe that they are all leaders. Some may be. Overall, they are servants.
You really seem to be rooting against Pope Francis being healthy.
If Francis sneezes, Allen, Jr will be getting out the tape measure.
No, we're rooting against the Cardinal Martini, St. Gallen mafia agenda that puppet pope Bergoglio is pushing.
You should use GODS name wrongly. or out of context, except for prayer or praising him .ty
May God stop Francis and his deforms.
JA,Jr Vatican Gossip Monger
Get an urgent psychiatric referral from a local doctor tj.
It is evident no Jesuit is able to crit my profile - neither is UA-cam. Maybe someone else can...Who knows?
What?
Excommunicate traditionalists
To complete the Apostate church foretold in the 3rd Secret, with heresy coming from the top. It's getting there
Good for the Russian Orthodox
No. Those shaved-heads Nuns are satanical. No Apologies.
@@frederiquecouture3924 ???
You would SERIOUSLY applaud the Russian Orthodox Patriarch? Even if you agree with him on this picayune, non entity of a matter, that you yourself would be so narrow minded, so blinkered, so determined to have your little say about your pinch faced, pursed lipped, uptight little opinion - that you would sweep asides the layer upon layer of manifest cynicism, callousness, hate and utter hypocrisy as exhibited by the head of the ROC, merely to signal your approval on this trifling soufflé of irrelevance?
To remind you - this is the pantomime villain of an ecclesiastic, who is a proven KGB agent and staunch ally of the Head of State - who is currently engaged in a war of aggression against a WHOLLY innocent sovereign country and her people. Are you not following the progress of it? Are you aware that, yes, obtaining accurate figures is difficult, but that there exists a consensus of international experts from a variety of academic institutes, intelligence services and retired senior military types from all over the world, whose current estimates for the total figure for the casualties - both killed in action, and wounded - as a total for both sides, now exceeds 410 000? By mid summer this year, that number could easily approach HALF A MILLION. The received wisdom is that of those, a third are deaths and two thirds represent the injured. Within just a few short months, the total dead so far will hover at 150000. Madam, do you have any sons? Whether you do, or don't, perhaps you might like to take yourself out of your own little circle - and think about what really matters in the world at large. I'm a non believer myself - but I know that if there was a great celestial spirit, I absolutely ASSURE you, he would be impatiently bored by whether priests bless the occasional pair of lesbians or not - and howling in pain at the fate of tens of thousands of (mostly very young) people being blown to bits - literally being turned to a vaporous red must - instead of being given the opportunity to use, and be grateful for, the lives they were given.
Mr. Allen, how in the world was NATO "barking at the door (of Russia) that helped set the stage for this conflict??" You are often sounding like Tucker Carlson in your misinterpretation of the factual situation.
Good news. Let us all be excited. God is coming to the world to change it clean it and give every men their wifes. I m God's wife. Let us all wait patiently for his return. I love you guys.
