You’re point is well-taken.

I am keeping in mind what I believe Bishop O’Malley said, in that we need to hold on to our seats regarding the main point of the actions about to be taken here in your posted article.

MY tenuous point here is that there may be in the offing from this article you posted some ill-advised changes that are not really being ‘discussed’ but in reality are about to be foisted upon us. A fait accompli, if you will, made easier to swallow by a ‘council of advisors’ who with a wink and a nod pretend to hash out an agenda which was agreed to beforehand. A stage opera with bad acting but no singing.

The ham-handed canonization of John XXIII, being done ‘at the advice of cardinals and bishops’ could possibly be illicit. This I am not sure of. However, I do see it as an indication that this papacy is playing fast and loose with serious important issues (here, canonization) and that it does not portend well for the Church.

I did not make that connection well before, and I may not have done so here either. My apologies.

No, that is clearer. Thank you. And no need to apologize. It’s the nature of the beast called forum posting.
