Priest: I’ll never ‘profane’ the sacraments by following Kasper’s proposal...

"Priest: I’ll never ‘profane’ the sacraments by following Kasper’s proposal, no matter who tells me to do it"

Unto the encouragement of those loyal parts of the Catholic Church that are keenly concerned about the rise and growing influence of Walter Cardinal Kasper and his lenient proposals to slacken the Church's discipline concerning adultery, there is a growing resistance against this ambiguous and subversive relaxation, and it is coming from several countries. We shall thus consider now four different voices that show to us a highly differentiated resolve and loyal love for the Faith in resistance against those who would undermine it by way of specious revisions or lax reforms. Four different sources of inspiration and fidelity shall be discussed here that might help also bolster our morale: the important statements of Father Brian Harrison, O.S., Joseph Matt, Professor Robert Spaemann, and Father José Granados.

First of all, let us consider the strong personal witness of the renowned theologian and author, Father Brian Harrison, O.S, of St. Louis, Missouri. In a talk he recently gave in St. Louis on March 22, 2015, at the annual St. Joseph Dinner-Forum hosted by the group Credo of the Catholic Laity, he discussed the Kasper proposal and patiently refuted it from a vantage point different from what can be found in the contributions of the “Five Cardinals Book,” as he himself says.

First, he declares: “...'the Kasper Proposal' – is, in my estimation, the gravest single moral and pastoral issue that has confronted the Catholic Church in the half-century that has now elapsed since the dispute over contraception erupted with renewed force at the end of Vatican Council II.”

Like contraception, Communion for the divorced and remarried is not an issue that is, so to speak, self-contained. Rather, it is the kind of issue in which any change to the Church’s existing teaching and/or discipline would not stop right there, but rather, would have a profound and far-reaching ripple effect on other fundamentally important areas of Catholic morality and sacramental practice.

Not unlike the change in "discipline" regarding allowing non-Catholics to receive communion without conversion. We've already headed down the slippery slope of codifying unworthy reception of communion (ie. sacrilege).

True.

The Germans have already declared they shall break away to defile communion, on their own.

It is heartening to know there are traditional priests who would defy any further damage to the Sacraments should it be made “official”.

[RitaOK]

We are already in a quasi split in the Church. It would take quite a lot to heal the breach considering the extent of damage.

Didn’t take Cupich very long to show his true colors.
