he Amazon Synod's delegates are discussing abolishing priestly celibacy „more than I would have excepted,“ Munich Cardinal Marx told journalists in Berlin (Katholisch.de, October 16).
Marx that mariage-priests [who contradict the Gospel] and [invalid] female deacons are “not only” wanted by the Germans but also by “many” Latin American prelates.
Retired Bishop Erwin Kräutler who calls baptism a "symbol of colonialism," recently estimated that two-third of the Synod's bishops want to abolish celibacy.
This is no surprise as these bishops were chosen among the Church's most anti-Catholic and uneducated prelates. At the Synod, about a dozen of the 185 bishops spoke in defence of celibacy.
As usual for his Sin-Nods, Bergoglio really stacks the deck in his favor.
Ping
This Synod is the fully ripened fruit of Vatican II.
I agree.
These Gloria TV cartoons are great. What’s the story with the pope’s little rubber ducky mascot?
Maybe it's a play on him stating he doesn't like being alone. That's the reason he doesn't reside in the papal apartments.
“I like to have my priests near me,” he said in 2013.
Yeah, like Msgr Ricca, the homosexual who gets stuck in elevators with call boys.
