We've seen this movie before. McElroy's argument is essentially Bernardin's "seamless garment" theology by any other name.
The new “Catholic” position: Kill the babies and vote for gravy!
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! The Pope picked Cupich and McElroy (and others) because they support giving Communion to pro-aborts, and they turn out to think abortion is no big deal. Not nearly as important as importing Muslims and pushing the Global Warming Hoax.
The Pope and his favorite bishops are sock puppets of George Soros.
Meanwhile, the fat oafish loudmouth Bill Donohue has come out for giving Communion to pro-aborts, which is a mortal sin.
We are dealing with a manchurian POTUS and a manchurian pope.
The working group’s representative, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, responded with a frank criticism of McElroy’s use of Pope Francis to push his argument. In a comment that earned him applause from many of the bishops, DiNardo said: Well my initial comments, and I think the group will be with me on this, is that ours is a hermeneutic of continuity, here, Bishop. As you say yourself, “IF I read him correctly.†We think we’ve also read him correctly, and we also believe that the way we have organized this, admittedly in a structure that pre-existed, but with real attentiveness to the pastoral ministry and the magisterium of Pope Francis, that we have brought in those considerations, perhaps not to your satisfaction and to the rhetorical floor issues with which you bring them, but I think that we have brought to light an important dimension of what Pope Francis and the later ministry of Pope Benedict is. And I do believe the document is still very useful for teaching.
McElroy is a leftist. Who appointed him?
