Strange Appointee: In July the conservative Argentinean New-Rite-Institute of the Incarnate Word celebrated its General Chapter. According to the will of Pope Francis, the chapter was led by a Vatican appointed outsider, the pro-homosex Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio.
Accusations Confirmed: The General Chapter confirmed the accusations leveled against the founder of the Institute, Father Carlos M. Buela. He is now living in a house of the Institute in Italy and is not allowed to interfere in its government. Buela was accused of – quote – “sexual abuses and abuses of authority” and “manipulation of the consciences of the seminarians.”
Too Catholic: The former Buenos Aires archbishop, Jorge Maria Bergoglio, was an open enemy of the Institute of the Incarnate Word. He suspended all priestly ordinations of the group for three years and forced them to seek refuge with a bishop in Italy. Shortly after becoming Pope he accused the Institute in quite open terms of a – quote - "exaggerated trend to doctrinal or disciplinary security."
Change: During the chapter Cardinal Coccopalmerio communicated that the General Council of the Institute and all provincials needed to be replaced. It was also noticeable during the chapter that the cassock which was de rigueur until a few years ago is now slowly disappearing.
The transition from weird droolings in the backs of airplanes to systematic oppression of Catholicism is proceeding.
(Although the oppression and torture of the FFI started on Day One of the Bergoglio reign of terror.)
