Frankly, one can live a very full Catholic life while refusing to get all knotted up about the Curial sausage-making.
Considering all the vigorous ‘sausage’ manufacture ocurring in the 1960’s, leaving us with the sacrality starved, textually impoverished Pauline Mass, such a statement should be taken with as many grains of salt as might be needed to render flavor to the inedible mess...
As the penultimate chair, I propose Pope.
inasmuch as the Church is considered the bride of Christ, and that the term ‘bride’ for the sane of the world connotes a woman, your female pope would need to be a lesbian, in order to render the true requisite ‘love’ deemed worthy of a bride...
"Inedible mess"? Who taught you to talk in such a filthy way? Somebody who doesn't know jack chick about what or Who it is who makes the Mass sacred.
Typo. “Sacrality-starved.”
this is a minor concession to traditionalists. michael sean winters writes that pope francis could put cardinal wuerl and archbishop cupich in charge of bishop appointments.
If Wuerl and Cupich are in charge of episcopal appointments, we will have another entire generation of gay bishops.
Ergo he's being "promoted" from an ambassadorial role to that of head mouthpiece.
Your analysis appears to be spot on. Mo Rocca was spotlighted while Kim Davis was thrown under the bus.
God help us.
It was just interesting to me that Michael Sean Winters' NCR was campaigning to have Vigano put in the coal cellar chained to a radiator pipe, and come to find out he's now to be in the top perch at Vatican Communications. Don't know quite what the flow-chart looks like, but does that make him Fr. Federico Lombardi's boss?
It's a little negligent to fail to thank the Lord when good things happen.
So, thank you, Lord.
No, as Prefect he really won’t be a mouthpiece at all or even have much effect. But it removes his influence from the American Church. I think that when he gave out Cdl Sarah’s magnificent book to all the seminarians and young religious, Wuerl decided to get rid of him.
Indeed. He has been “Burked”.
