With all due respect to the Vatican, the Cardinal has a point. We must practice what we preach. In this case, social justice starts at home.

“The decision to ordain women, which the Church of England took in 1992, damaged the relationships between our Churches, and the introduction of female bishops has eliminated even a theoretical possibility for the Orthodox to recognize the existence of apostolic succession in the Anglican hierarchy.” Pope Leo XIII had the same verdict about Anglican orders back in 1896 in the papal bull “Apostolicae curae.”

This will be interpreted by many as an attempt to supercede the clarity of St. Pope John Paul II’s FAMILIARIS CONSORTIO with the ambiguity of AMORIS LAETITIA.
I would still want to show every respect and priests need to be obedient to Christ, the Holy Father and to their bishops. But I am also trying to be honest as I struggle with this change of direction in the Church. Parsing words by those in denial will no longer work. It is obvious now, our course has shifted.

Pope Emeritus (he prefers Father) Benedict has become quite frail. His elevation to the Chair of Peter was a happy day for many of us formed by his writings and moved by his partnership with St. Pope John Paul II. Keep him in prayer. May his legacy and regard for the truth weather the current storms in the Church.

The Holy Father was critical of both the repeal of DACA and those who deny global warming… which he associated with the recent hurricanes.

Low gluten hosts approved by the USCCB can be used but not the non-gluten hosts commonly used in Episcopal churches. There may be some cases where Catholics will have to restrict themselves to the precious blood. Allergic reactions can be serious and terrible. I had a friend in seminary that was allergic to metal… drinking from a metal chalice caused blistering, swelling and difficulty breathing. He even had reactions to coins!

Sometimes those who feign Catholicism are in truth the greatest enemies of the faith and bigots against those who faithfully practice.

Then who is that imposter in the red suit living at the north pole with elves and flying reindeer?
