As a Catholic this is very painful to watch.

We Non-Cs aren’t all that happy about it either, if that’s any comfort.
The article states: “The doctors of the law, in fact, were incapable of “discerning the signs of the times”.” I’m quite disturbed by this statement because I am not sure what is meant by this. The four early Doctors to the Church were great theologians who were forced to confront a myriad of heresies and did so while preaching the unity of Christians. If the Pope means, for example, Saint Augustine of Hippo was unable to discern the signs of the times, he is greatly mistaken. He should explain what he means with examples and in detail because the statement is as close to heretical as any I can think of.
