"The question of gender is an issue that is particularly close to my heart", Sister Micaela Monetti, the new president of the secularised and disintegrating Union of Major Superiors of Italy told the monthly magazine of L'Osservatore Romano. For her, there is an increasingly “fluid world” and “we must accept Francis' invitation to listen before judging and pigeonholing.” The oligarchs are proud of Monetti, but they won't send her any vocations.
In Japan, a few centuries back, the urban world of prostitution and pleasure-seeking was known as the Floating World. I wonder if Francis is trying to go in that direction.
Those orders that reject the Church’s perennial moral teaching are either dead or in the throes of a death rattle. Those that embrace traditional teachings are thriving. Go figure.
