VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis’ new apostolic constitution for the Roman Curia is stirring up concerns as well as eager anticipation ahead of its expected publication in two months’ time.
The exact details of the document, called Praedicate Evangelium (Preach the Gospel), are unclear and are expected to remain so while bishops’ conference presidents and Vatican heads review it before its expected release on June 29.
But its content was spotlighted this week, after some media outlets reported on comments made about the document by two key members of the Pope’s Council of Cardinals in an upcoming April 27 article in the Spanish weekly magazine Vida Nueva. The council has been in charge of drafting the new document.

“Without doctrine there is no evangelization!” he said.
Another “part of the problem,” Father Weinandy believes, is that Pope Francis “consistently uses the term ‘doctrine’ in a derogatory manner.”
Ping
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost has become the Blather, Bun and Holy Boast.
Deliver us Lord.
Jorge Bergoglio has granted audiences to practicing homosexuals, abortionists, atheists, etc.
He has made no attempt to “evangelize” any of them.
It has now been 949 days since he was presented with the dubia from the four cardinals; he has not granted either of the two surviving cardinals with an audience in that time span. The dubia was about “doctrine”. Go figure.
It’s easier to evangelize if there’s no doctrine.
On the contrary, it's very hard to evangelize without supporting doctrine.
Yes, we will be evangelizing people to . . . something.
Sure it is. Just encourage people to accept Jesus. If they they ask who Jesus is, tell them, "Whatever."
Without Doctrine what is the goal of evangelization? You have to join the Church to find out what’s in it? Did Francis get advice from Cardinal Pelosi?
You have to bring the good news of the Gospel FIRST.
Because if the call for the need for “repentance and conversion” does not go out first, the “doctrine” part CANNOT FOLLOW.

What are you talking about?
" The god of the aristocrats is not tradition, but fashion, which is the opposite of tradition. If you wanted to find an old-world Norwegian head-dress, would you look for it in the Scandinavian Smart Set? No; the aristocrats never have customs; at the best they have habits, like the animals. Only the mob has customs."The real power of the English aristocrats [insert: the Vatican clerical bureaucracy] has lain in exactly the opposite of tradition. The simple key to the power of our upper classes is this: that they have always kept carefully on the side of what is called Progress.
"They have always been up to date, and this comes quite easy to an aristocracy. For the aristocracy are the supreme instances of that frame of mind of which we spoke just now. Novelty is to them a luxury verging on a necessity. They, above all, are so bored with the past and with the present, that they gape, with a horrible hunger, for the future."
WTF???
Pope Karnac?
Interesting as always from GKC. It certainly is true, that many of the “elite” are bored. But many people have an insatiable need to “belong”and so are driven to the current and trendy group think. I think we see that lots of places, even in the Church.
