    About the pope's position on gender theory not fitting his narrative...I kind of think it does. His embrace of the LGBT community never meant that he condoned nontraditional sexual behavior. He is Jesus's representative here and now, and like Jesus, he is welcoming to every human person who seeks his blessing. Also like Jesus, Francis is more critical of sins of the spirit (pride, greed, self-righteousness, hypocrisy) than he is of sins of the flesh. I would say Francis's narrative is very consistent along these lines. To counter the suggestions from that letter from the anonymous Cardinal, we shouldn't pit compassion against justice/clarity/Tradition but, instead, practice compassion in light of justice/clarity/Tradition. The era of simplistic binary evaluations is long gone.
    BTW, Mr. Allen. your economy with words and the way you express yourself are as vibrant and entertaining as Pauline Kael was as a writer. Keep it up!

    • @Jimboken1
      @Jimboken1 3 місяці тому

      If Pope Francis' "embrace of the LGBT community never meant that he condoned nontraditional sexual behavior", then why does he support same sex civil unions?
      I detest the implication that people who criticise Francis do so because they hate and fear homosexuality or that they are small-minded.
      That's not Catholic teaching and never was. Spare us the modernist rhetorical calumny of "simplistic binary evaluations"
      Increased homosexual acts and the normalising of homosexuality are signs of a society facing imminent catastrophe according to Scripture.
      In addition, homosexual acts individually are a grave threat to the Soul.
      You'd never glean that from Pope Francis' rhetoric and he fails those people who are active homosexuals baptised or not. He also fails solely homosexually inclined Catholics who live chaste lives.

    Even if it is not intended by the Holy Father, he does cause a good dose of confusion or at least a good head scratch. The sheer amount people voicing this concern are not just making it up. Do some people over react? Sure. Do some people under react, doubley sure.

    Marvellous to have JA on top form - as eloquent, cogent and entertaining as he has ever been! Aided by the relative lack of controversy surrounding the issues at hand and an even greater dose of coltish enthusiasm than normal! We can safely say that despite the understandable concern brought on by a recent episode narrated with, shall we say "substantially less energy", it seems fairly clear to me that was an aberration.
    The Pope - not anyone at the Vatican - should be busybodying themselves with negotiating ends to the Ukraine war which, even if it were possible, would be a Pyrrhic victory. Any cessation in fighting would have exactly the same - if not more - effect as the piece of paper Neville Chamberlain, upon returning to Blighty after a trip to meet The Führer in 1938, brandished at the airport on which was the essence of Hitler's agreement to various things he promised to do and not do, won by appeasement. The only thing the Vatican could succeed in doing is risk its medium and long term greater reputation when it turns out that Russia does an INCREDIBLE job of lying, bad faith and, with less than zero compunction, toss those treaties which simply become inconvenient to it... yes, I really hope their most reverend eminences have quietly discouraged the Pope from actively pursuing an angle in.
    Let him instead deal with "higher matters" - so high, in fact, that Demos decided to write anonymously like a naughty schoolgirl sending notes in class.... again, yet further proof that there is no God - if even some cardinals, not all, act this way, it once again demonstrates the Catholic Church is no different from any other club one might join - it rarely if ever seems to have all that much to do with the divine, being much more akin to a national legislature, a political body - which is exactly what it is.
    Very entertaining mind you!😂❤

    Should we take exception to this "anonymous" article? Is there any doubt? Whoever, and here we are speaking of a Cardinal, no less, who lacks the courage of his convictions, because he fears retribution (whatever that means), ought to be told that he either keeps quiet or drops the mask and speaks up with dignity (because he is dealing with matters of Faith) and humility (because any other way is conceit). When are we going to realize that one thing is the "substance" of the Gospel and the other are the "formulations" that are translated to the times we live in. Is being faithful to the "Tradition" another term for "Immobility"?

      Read the article. It makes plain why it was written anonymously.
      It was forward looking focused on the message rather than the messenger.
      Tradition capital 'T' as opposed to catholic tradition small 't' refers Sacred Tradition - the Apostles’ teachings; the church or community’s faith in Jesus Christ; the celebration of the Eucharist; and the prayers of the original Christian communities and the teaching of the Early Church Fathers east and west, greek and latin.

    I asked a dear Christian friend Is Jesus God almighty who controls everything?
    Yes, he is, My Friend responded.
    I asked, So, Who controlled the universe when Jesus died?
    My friend said, Obviously, The Father. However, they are three in one.
    I said, Was Jesus the spirit alive or killed with the Body?
    My friend said the spirit was alive, only the body died.
    I smiled😊 and said, You Christians say all the time that God has forsaken his lovely son to save you!
    Apparently, his son was not killed; he incarnated a human body, used it a little bit, then let that body die while the spirit went back to where it was before Jesus's birth.
    In other words, God didn't forsake his son; He killed a human body that had no spirit at all and saved his son.
    Am I right?
    My friend failed to answer my simple, logical question.

      Hi, Jesus didn't say Before Abraham I am.
      Jesus was revealed to by God; The gosple was not written by those four guys you think of.
      God revealed it to Jesus, therefore, Jesus said that means Allah is saying that.
      The same thing in Quran, Allah says Worship me alone, But the words came out of Prophet Mohammad's mouth.
      Do we worship our Prophet? Of course, we don't.
      We understand it is a revelation. But you don't understand this simple fact.
