A half-century after the historic changes of the Second Vatican Council, Pope Francis is showing his intent to drive a comparably ambitious agenda for the Roman Catholic Church in the 21st century.
The current synod of bishops in Rome, called by Francis to encourage reform and modernization, set a ringing tone of compassion this week with an opening call for a more welcoming attitude toward gay people, unmarried couples, divorced Catholics who remarry, and children in these unions.
The bishops report on their first week of private discussions did not immediately change church doctrine. But it signaled the popes determination to have the church look anew at the realities of the modern world, including what the bishops were moved to call the positive aspects of civil unions and cohabitation a formulation unthinkable in an era when the church denounced such Catholics as living in sin.
The synods summary language about gays and lesbians was even more remarkable....

I will be interested to see what actually comes out officially, in the end, once all the ballyhoo has died down. If the doomsayers are even close in their prognostications I will be very surprised.
Yes, Latinos are prime examples.
One medical residency hospital had almost all slots filled by MDs of India ethnicity and they were broken up because of it. The residency program was actually shutdown as it had its funding pulled (Medicare funds residency programs).
Every year there is a residency ‘Match’ program for new med school graduates and it is super competitive. Whenever a new med school grad gets accepted at a residency, he or she go there without question even if it is in a ghetto. No complaints are made, no pleas for other matches etc. A new MD is just happy to get a slot.
People of different ethnic groups like from India get into residency programs and then become head residents or become MDs that work in the residency program supervising the new MDs. This is when the clustering starts.
Such clusters can be broken up,
If a heterosexual person were able to get hired by the NY Times and they had the courage to file a lawsuit against the NY Times for their homosexual clustering, they could possibly break it up and change the culture there.
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
There is no schism here. The Catholic Credo and Catechism are eternal verities. What we have here is a Pope of South American culture where an undisciplined and freewheeling mind where a false sense of compassion and sensitivity is quite in contrast to the Benedictine mind of solid intellect, discipline and rigor.
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
So how do you fix it without a schism?
maybe he’s the antichrist
Schism involves a departure from central truths as found in the Catholic Catechism. The relate (report) was an early and premature draft of what was said by some wayward Bishops and this was immediately identified, corrected, and retracted.
Worst Pope since Alexander VI.
I agree completely. I’m not a Vaticanista but It’s been my understanding that the Italian cardinals and bishops were known colloquially as the “keepers of the Curia” and, having a conservative orientation, kept their fingers on the pulse of Church administration. Is this still the case,(if it ever was)and if so why haven’t they been more resistant to this ill disciplined Pope?
I’m sure Satan loves the fact so many of his kind would be able to influence how to teach God’s word as well.
“Well said. Simply a bad Pope. A very bad Pope. Better he was never elected and Benedict never stepped down.”
I remember quite a few Catholic FReepers expressing serious doubts about this pope when he was elected.. that Jesuits tend lean hard to the left. It appears those fears were justified.

...and I remember quite a few who were elated...in fact, going so far as to tell us ‘traddies’ to chill out...
