PopeWatch: Incomprehensible

One of Bishop Sheen’s 30 minute TV shows had more wisdom and true Catholic thought than anything this “Pope” has said since the white smoke came forth from the Vatican!

Those are amazing, aren't they? Still as fresh and relevant today as the day he made them. And some of them ran on the DuMont Network in the early 50's!

Sadly not everyone in Catholic clergy can be as gifted a speaker as Bishop Sheen.

the above is not incomprehensible.

That's a good translation of the first paragraph. But the talk doesn't really go off the rails until we reach this point:

"We must be careful not to fall into the temptation of making idols of certain abstract truths."

What we get after that is the classical "word salad." What "abstract truths" are people making idols of? If he meant politics, he would have said politics. It sounds to me like he means actual Truths which the Church has embraced for centuries.

But who can be sure? Again, lack of clarity, whether purposeful or not, is the issue.

Jesus Christ is the truth. His words are the truth. Christ’s words are not idols. Bergoglio wants to completely ignore the eternal words of Jesus Christ. I think he has lost what little mind he ever had. Did you know he’s now completely surrounded by leftist Jesuits. Each time he’s fired an orthodox bishop they’ve been replaced by a liberal Jesuit. The vast majority want to turn the Catholic Church into a big version of the Evangelical Church. Open the window and throw 2,000 years of Catholic doctrine out the window. Bergoglio dreams about this at night.

It might be similar to this concise and precise definition:

Where can we find an 'OFFICIAL MORMON' teaching website??

Official sites are sites supported by LDS officials unless said official sites are considered unofficial by said officials.

At that point such sites are unofficial unless officially referenced for official purposes by officials who can do so officially.

This should not be misconstrued as an indication that official sites can be unofficially recognized as official nor should it be implied that unofficial sites cannot contain official information, but are not officially allowed to be offical despite their official contents due the their unofficialness.

Official sites will be official and recognized as official by officials of the LDS unless there is an official reason to mark them as unofficial either temporally or permanently, which would make the official content officially unofficial.

This is also not to imply that recognized sites, often used on FR by haters and bigots cannot contain official information, it just means that content, despite its official status, is no longer official and should be consider unofficial despite the same information being official on an official site elsewhere.

Even then the officialness my be amended due to the use of the unofficial information which may determine the officialness of anything be it official or unofficial depending on how and where it is used officially or unofficially.

I hope this clear things up for the lurkers out there.

The haters tend to make things complicated and confusing when it is all really quite crystal clear.
