Sorry, Sam Singer, you have nothing to say about the Archbishop’s placement in your archdiocese now, nor will that opportunity ever present itself.
Go away.
Unfortunately, that’s wishful thinking. Sam singer isn’t going anywhere; whether the Archbishop does or not remains to be seen.
As a traditional Catholic, and a genuine supporter of Archbishop Cordileone, I’m terribly saddened by what is going on in SF these days, but I’m not surprised. Archbishop Cordileone took what can only be described described as the most meek and gentle step to bring back just a touch of Catholicism to his school district, and he’s slapped down like a stray dog. So how can this happen to a Catholic Archbishop?
Actually, it’s quite simple. We are all now witnessing the start of the destruction of the Catholic Church in real time. No, it will never be destroyed, because Jesus Christ has promised us that. But it will certainly come as close to appearing to disappear (at least as we know it) as anyone might imagine. To think otherwise is Pollyannaish. Just last week the bishops of Ireland were unwilling (deathly fearful) of even asking their flock to vote against homosexual marriage. Their advice was to “reflect upon your vote, but we bishops take no position”. Can the USCCB be far behind?
Personally, I hope Archbishop Cordileone has the stones to hold firm, if not even up the ante. Many of the homosexual bishops of the USCCB will try to pressure him to back off, and surely this pope will deliver some warning signals to him as time goes on. But Singer is good, and the homosexual community will back him to the hilt. But if you happen to think that I’m too pessimistic on this, and that’s understandable, take a look at how many anti-homosexual public relations firms have been hired to wage a counter-attack on the Sam Singer blitz. I believe the answer to that is zero; and unfortunately, it will probably remain there.
Inexplicably, Pope Francis has made about 4 separate references to a book that has predicted what we are essentially witnessing today. The book is Lord of the World (Hugh Benson), but what is really strange about this, is that the book (written over 100 years ago) is an out and out condemnation of everything that Pope Francis stands for. Others have noticed this strange fixation of Francis on this book as well. But if your curious as to why there are people who are seeing much more than a mere schism forthcoming, this book provides some incredible insight
