Catholic Caucus
thread?
It’s in post number two, and in the title.
And this sort of thread is one of the reasons we have the caucus/ecumenical/open system.
The issue at hand is whether or not this character is preaching the Catholic faith (as is his job) ... or something else. And if not, what if anything should be done about it.
Sounds good to me!
John 3:16
Are YOU Catholic? (ducking...)
LOL! Obviously, that is privileged information.
The Calvinist posts have also been removed.

Zollitsch has also said he accepts homosexual civil unions by states, but is against same-sex "marriage."
however, bodes ill.
I suspect an investigation is already underway and if found that his quotes are accurate, then they are a violation of Catholic teaching and he will be disciplined in short order.
Lack of righteous conformity to God’s stated word and authentic Church teachings is sufficient cause for his removal from the priesthood, and I would hope full excommunication would follow quickly.
I cannot see Pope Benedict XVI letting blatant heresy slide. From what I have seen of his Papacy, he is cleaning things up, not as fast as some would like, but methodically and correctly. JMO.
There are quite a few examples of Word and anti-Word developing. First, Notre Dame, then Georgetown, now this comes to the fore.
We may be seeing a development foretold.
This is outright heresy from this Archbishop.
This can only be heresy and needs to be nipped in the bud. We see where this sort of thinking has led the Episcopal Church and other protestant churches.
If you don't want Episcopals and Protestants to join this thread, then don't talk about us.
“Mr. Williamson is impossible and irresponsible,” Zollitsch, chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference, told the magazine in an article published Saturday. “I now see no room for him in the Catholic church.”
Interesting.
Clearly His Excellency is wrong on this point. However, he may be confused with the finer point that, “God, being infinitely powerful, is in no way intrinsically HARMED by any action of Man, therefore, in a technical sense, Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t to somehow ‘make up’ for something Man did to God, but rather to enable Man to once again come to God fully.”
That is, the sin sacrifice was necessary to restore MAN to his intended state (a state of full and complete friendship with God). It was not, nor could it ever be considered some kind of “repayment” to God, because again God being infinite in all respects cannot “loose” anything.
Just to clarify. I do believe the above is Catholic teaching.
That's not quite correct. Man cannot rob God of intrinsic glory, but man can rob of extrinsic glory. Christ made satisfaction for the sins of men; see here.
