Francis lamented on the feast of Epiphany about those whose religion he said was self-referential and encased in a “suit of armour”, “Have we been stuck all too long, nestled inside a conventional, external and formal religiosity that no longer warms our hearts and changes our lives?”
And, “Do our words and our liturgies ignite in people's hearts a desire to move towards God, or are they a 'dead language' that speaks only of itself and to itself?”
Talking about his self-referential Synod on Synods, he said that the task is “to journey together, to listen to one another, so that the Spirit can suggest to us new ways and paths to bring the Gospel to hearts of those who indifferent, distant, and without hope.”
Bergoglio's "spirit" is not holy.
Ping
Sigh.
He’s the Pelosi of Rome.
This is the same language that came out of the ELCA 30 years ago. It did not go well...
This is what the Lord says: 'Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
- Jeremiah 6:16
Dead language? I didn’t know he spoke french
Hey, Pope Brandon … Who is “we?”
He can try Hebrew. Alive and well and
G-d’s language of creation of the world.
The key phrase is, “no longer warms our hearts”; i.e. the liturgy that warmed the hearts of church fathers and saints for 1500 years no longer warms the hearts of apostate modernists like Bergoglio.
He does not know the benefits of attending a latin mass community where all of the Sacramental Graces are available all of the time.
Or maybe he does?
We pray for him every day.
His latest attempt to discredit and tear down the latin mass may be his downfall. What if no one changes, what if the masses continue to be said and attended? What can he do to stop them?
