ebb tide:
I am not looking for spoon feeding. Rorate-caeli at times hints at SSPX ideology, which is the reason I stopped going over there. I would much prefer to read about this issue on Fr. Z’s blog “What does Prayer Really say” as he has hinted that “Traditionalist” can be their own worse enemies with their frowns and labeling anyone who does not attend a Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite as a modernist or neo con Catholic or even worse, a heretic.
And yes, I know there are dissidents promoting watered down nonsense from the, using a political term, “left”. However, I have not seen Pope Francis call back the CDF’s investigation of the US Nuns who have gone off the railroad tracks on numerous issues. An Australian priest promoting woman’s ordination among other things was excommunicated. Fr. Roy Bourgeois of the Mary Knoll has not had his excommunication lifted by Pope Francis for promoting woman’s ordination as well.
So I am not ready to join the Pope Francis does not like Traditionalist parade just yet. I think however, as he recently stated that on deep matters of Theology, he would prefer the CDF to handle it. I made the recommendation here a few weeks ago. Francis should just do what he does naturally is preach by example and humility and when technical areas of theology are needed, have the CDF vet it first before writing anything or saying anything. I don’t have the quote in front of me but it relates to a discussion between Francis and someone at the CDF.
As I've said before, when a Pope leaves theological questions up to the CDF; it reminds me of Pontius Pilate washing his hands. It is not Mueller, nor his CDF, which is infallible on matter of faith and morals.
Secondly, if you consider Fr. Z a more reliable source than Rorate-caeli, we have nothing more to discuss as far I'm concerned.
