[Mrs. Don-o]

This letter is in response to Chaput's fine article in First Things, "What Happens in Germany." It was already posted in the Free Republic Religion Forum here (LINK)

I am preparing a version of this to send to my own Bishop.

I am convinced, and I would argue, that it is now very much up to us to petition our own bishops for the defense of doctrine which Pope Francis is either unwilling or unable to do.

Our duty.

Every one of us.

Your thoughts?

Good job. Thanks for doing this.

Thank you for your several actions for Christ’s Church, particularly this letter and your motivating all of us to join His mission in earth.
Thank you.

It’s a fine letter, but the decision whether or not to send it depends on what kind of bishop you have. I have just finished 14 years of RCIA teaching myself. I have my pastor’s support (obviously) and that of my own conscience. As far as possible, I try to stay off the radar of my bishop and his chancery bureaucrats.

Pope Francis......

...is the Pope.

I will say no more than to add: the Holy Spirit will protect him from teaching error.

This is my Faith. I know it is yours too. As it is every Catholic.

My parting thought (as well as the above): I feel the Holy Spirit uses men in ways we don’t expect. To keep our Faith alive.

You are such a sweetie.

Hey Don-o. You know you got a keeper, right?

Great letter, Mrs. Don-o!   Thanks for writing it and posting it.

I have found that local priests have not been at all sympathetic or interested in hearing any criticism about papal "bafflegab" and gobbledygook, or his doctrinal tampering, (and have actually been downright hostile and insulting in response to any such criticism - even saying such criticism was sinful), and I think it is also pretty clear that most bishops are not interested in hearing those kinds of criticisms either.   Sadly, Archbishop Chaput is part of a very small minority of faithful bishops I'm afraid.

Thanks again for your courage and strength.   God bless you.

Well done!

Again, it started with de-literalizing Genesis. How can anyone be naive as to insist that there is no connection between "correcting" Genesis and correcting any other ancient supernaturalistic teaching?

The fanatical devotion of non-Fundamentalist Protestant chrstians to evolution is absolutely stupefying.

But just keep ignoring it. The notion that the Middle Ages can be restored but that "this time" it will accept evolution is a pipe dream.
