I think the honeymoon is over and we are getting a clearer vision of where Pope Benedict will be taking the Church. No place new apparently.

All those good feelings and hopes I had are starting to wear thin. Somebody once made the comment here, and that I had long held, that the office of CDF was charged with simply slowing down, not stopping, the creep of modernism in the Church. To allow it (modernism) to play out unchecked would destroy the Church overnight rather than allow it to morph into a modernist tool. That apparently was Ratzinger's job, and now falls on Levada.

Arugss,

I believe you meant to ping Diago to your post #17, not Diego.

In the words of the character Zorg from the movie "The Fifth Element," "I am very... disappointed," to say the least. Thank you Debbie for posting this. I have this book too, but it's been a while. I agree with kstweskis that we need to pray, and pray HARD, particularly to the Holy Ghost. Between this, his connection to Mahoney, and the pagan prayer that his archdiocese had posted, Levada's posting to Ratzinger's old post is not a good development at all. As with all things, we should be vigilant.
