The (Cardinal) Stepinac Case

Inside the Vatican ^ | January 21, 2016 | Theresa Norris

The story is important because Pope Francis, at the request of the Serbian Orthodox, has created a commission to study the life and work of Stepinac, in order to come to a better mutual understanding of Stepinac's words and actions.

As with the case of Pope Pius XII's canonization being delayed due to pressure from the Jews and Catholic ecumaniacs, we now see another post-conciliar pope yielding to the demands of the Orthodox regarding whom the Catholic Church can raise to the altar of God.

That’s not unusual. Pope Pius IX — who served for more than 30 years from 1846-1878 (I believe he was the longest-serving pope in history) — still hasn’t been canonized. His case has been opened and closed a number of times, largely for political reasons. He wasn’t beatified until 2000.

The two pieces of the Church might not actually want to COORDINATE huh?

If this saint IS living in heaven AND everything ascribed by the Roman Catholic church to saints is possible... would either HE or JESUS want to push it without even the Orthodox agreement? (And contrariwise, can the Orthodox forgive?)

This sounds like churches full of themselves, not full of God.

[ebb tide]

It's not unusual in these days of ecumania. But prior to VC II, the Catholic Church didn't give a hoot to what non-Catholics said about whom it could or could not canonize.

[ebb tide]

Where’d you come up with “two pieces”?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Maybe they SHOULD be maniacs about ecumenism.

This is what the first steps of reuniting would look like.

Folks are going to have to eat their prides.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Oh, I forgot. Your church is the dog that wags all the tails. My bad. /s

Folks are going to have to eat their prides.

Why don't you take the first bite? You might like the flavor.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I did, long ago. That is how I can see your pride so clearly.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And I mean it. Both Catholic and Orthodox are so notoriously churches of huffiness.

We poor evangelical splinters would kind of wish you would get the parade going.

[NRx]

The Serbs need to butt out. Stepinac wasn’t Orthodox and we aren’t Catholics. If the Pope chooses to canonize this monster it’s none of our business.

[bad company]

The most likely reunification on the horizon would be an Orthodox-Coptic one. The Orthodox-Rome division Is pretty wide.

[NRx]

Agreed

[ebb tide]

And it’s none of our business has to many wives the Orthodox allow.

But it may be soon, if Papa Tango goes into override.

Good one, et.

"evangelical splinters"?? That sounds like a great call sign for you..."es" for short.

[piusv]

Ecumenism has made the Church weak...and the non-Catholics know this and use it.

[elcid1970]

What makes Stepinac a monster?

[Kolokotronis]

“The Serbs need to butt out. Stepinac wasn’t Orthodox and we aren’t Catholics. If the Pope chooses to canonize this monster it’s none of our business.”

Agreed; it’s not our business to tell the Latins what to do. God willing, they will return the favor.
