I saw this item on CNN earlier today - yes I go there because I don't want to get caught by surprise by the outrage du jour. I wasn't able to read much of the actual text until I got home - my workplace computer blocks all blogs and many other sites.

Having read the account of the statement on Catholic News Service, I have grave reservations about where the Church appears to be going. Further, I think it unwise to release such an ambiguous, irresponsible and, IMHO, heretical statement during the course of a Synod that neither can nor will generate doctrine but will merely form the prelude to another Synod to occur in 2015.

The "thinking out loud" statement issued today will be seized on by the godless media, be parsed out, sliced and diced in every way possible by the left-wing spinners and talking heads who form public opinion, and its substance, if any it has, will be ignored.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

That's precisely why it was written and released.
