New Belgium Archbishop: "Mercy" is "Somewhat Condescending...I Like Words Like 'Respect' and 'Esteem'"
Start with respect and esteem for man? That is blatant self idolatry.
Another Judas or lost in translation, sometimes it happens.
Francis’s first one or two or three appointments in America were leftovers from Benedict. After that, Francis’s appointment in the U.S. and around the world have been uniformly, absolutely STINKERS. He has “reached down” into countries, especially in the Spanish-speaking world, ignoring the candidates suggested by the nuncios, “and picked the worst priests he could find,” according to an account I read last year.
Pollyannas point to a passage here, a sentence there, in which they purport to see evidence that Francis is “pro-life,” or “traditional.”
Phooey. Like many bishops, Francis can give a rip-roaring pro-life speech to a pro-life audience—as he did just days ago in Rome.
But his appointments are all anti-pro-life, leftist, homosexualists. By his fruits you shall know him.
Microagression!
Microagression!
Microagression!
Hmmm.....”respect” and “esteem” for man, where else have I seen those words predominantly?
Oh yes, of course: Vatican II.
