The pace with which the Catholic Church moves - isn't this often referred to as Vatican time?

Ping!

Nope.

[[Are You Waiting for the Church to Change Her Teachings?]]

No more so than I am waiting on God to change His Teachings to accommodate sinful people’s desire to sin

Could the matter really be the fact that the Church deals in "timeless" ideas?

And since God is the author of those ideas, then it would all be fashioned more in a way that suits Him.

I reckon.

I thought you might appreciate this perspective. It applies to Church critics from every direction IMO, not just the “Catholics” that want birth control and/or abortjon.

Question: "Are you waiting for the church to change her teachings."

Answer: No.

[ex-snook]

Now hear this. The Church is waiting for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Now heaven is timeless so time can’t be measured. Too bad for those waiting.

[BlatherNaut]

There is not a scintilla of evidence that the Church is about to reverse course.

There is a mountain of evidence that a "modernist" fifth column is striving to transform doctrine into a dead letter through corrupt praxis.

"...Though they express astonishment themselves, no one can justly be surprised that We number such men among the enemies of the Church, if, leaving out of consideration the internal disposition of soul, of which God alone is the judge, he is acquainted with their tenets, their manner of speech, their conduct. Nor indeed will he err in accounting them the most pernicious of all the adversaries of the Church. For as We have said, they put their designs for her ruin into operation not from without but from within; hence, the danger is present almost in the very veins and heart of the Church, whose injury is the more certain, the more intimate is their knowledge of her. Moreover they lay the axe not to the branches and shoots, but to the very root, that is, to the faith and its deepest fires. And having struck at this root of immortality, they proceed to disseminate poison through the whole tree, so that there is no part of Catholic truth from which they hold their hand, none that they do not strive to corrupt..."

Leila, the author, is delusional here. The Church isn’t going to change.

[Tax-chick]

No. I’m not waiting for the Church to change its practices or disciplines, either. I joined this church ... not the parish I’m in today, but one very similar. That was God’s will for me.

If I was still at St. Francis of Assisi, Shavano Park, Texas, I’d probably be leading a Spanish choir and teaching bilingual Sacrament preparation, just like I am at St. Luke, Mint Hill, North Carolina.
