Perhaps you would be wise to step back, and actually look at what has and has not been done.
No doctrine has been changed. No new dogma has been created. What one sees and reads is a significant amount of noise signifying nothing.
Jesus himself promised the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church. Do you believe that promise?
Let me know when you are done accepting opinions, rumors, and unnamed sources as fact. In the meantime, pray for all religious, especially the Pope, and consider not busying yourself with speculation.
There isn’t any more room for such Pollyanna interpretations of what Francis is up to.
Speaking only of Americans: He has been promoting and consulting with the most wicked Americans, O’Malley, Dolan, and Wuerl, and dissing Burke, who is the best of the best.
Francis is a “liberal,” a “modernist,” a “lefty.”
Of course, no dogma will be changed. First, the Church is protected against that; second, Modernists don’t work that way. They are all about concealment of what they are up to, often even from themselves.
How about taking a look at what HAS been done.
1. Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate - Smashed by Pope Francis, and their seminary shut down. Their founder, a protege and spiritual son of St. Padre Pio, was placed under house arrest.
2. Let's look at some of the Pope's personnel decisions (which those in the real world understand are a reflection of his values). Cardinal Maradiaga (who said that Vatican II in principle meant an end to the hostilities between the Church and modernism), Danneels, Kasper, Ricca, Wuerl, and the demotions of Piacenza, Pozzo, and Sciacca along with the expected demotion of Iruzubieta reveal an obvious pattern for those with eyes to see.
3. The Synod attendees will be considering Kasper's blueprint of corruption via praxis. Change in dogma or doctrine is not a necessity to achieve the modernist coup for which he has been advocating (with the Pope's compliments). With the demotion of Burke, Francis is clearly stacking the deck and sending a warning shot across the bow of anyone who dares to strongly oppose Kasper's "serene theology".
The Pope's plethora of bizarre and unorthodox utterances are documented far and wide should you choose to examine them.
Unfortunately, at this point there is a great deal of fire to go along with the smoke. Banishing Cardinal Burke is only the latest move in Pope Francis' ongoing offensive against traditional orthodox belief and practice.
You can’t change the Bible and Catholic doctrine is based on the Bible. The Francis bashers need to understand this. I’m not his biggest fan but I’m also not stupid. He is not changing a think. He can’t. The word of God does not change. The Catholic CHurch safeguards the truth, while protestant churches mangle the hell out of it. This is not the Episcopal Church will are talking about.
