No support in this lecture for the recent heresy spread by some American Roman Catholic bishops that their imagined dogma of being anti-abortion supersedes all other dogmas of The Church. And one wonders how much support the Papal call to international social activism will find among the those who have bought into that peculiar American heresy because it furthers their anti-Obama political agenda.Kolokotronis - please amplify, what is the 'heresy' you allege and why should anyone not be "anti-Obama", in your opinion?
“Kolokotronis - please amplify, what is the ‘heresy’ you allege and why should anyone not be “anti-Obama”, in your opinion?”
Several of these heresiarchs, that theological clown from Pennsylvania springs immediately to mind, have stated, publicly, that the imagined anti-abortion “dogma” of the The Church is the most important of all dogmas; that it trumps all other theological considerations. That’s heresy. Their meddling in another bishop’s diocese, even if he approves, is a violation of the canons, though that’s not heresy, just proper grounds for being removed from their sees.
“why should anyone not be “anti-Obama”, in your opinion?”
There are multiple reasons, which apparently the majority of Roman Catholics and indeed American citizens seem to share. These bishops, instead of preaching heresy, violating the canons and essentially having their heads explode over what is going to happen in another diocese, ought to read the Fathers, learn the canons and then preach the Truth as The Church has preserved it, not play silly, and frankly embarrassing political games.
