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.
I admire and encourage you in your orthodoxy, but shy away from calling cardinals “wicked.”
Certainly, the St. Patrick’s Day parade issue is disturbing, but as we are not privy to all of the goings on and challenges, and which battles are the ones to fight, I am not going to second guess them. Rather, we should pray for them, and ask the Holy Spirit to inspire them.
I am glad Cardinal Burke remains a strong voice, as well as the Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. I hope others look to him, and seek to emulate him.
We are all imperfect. Let us pray for all who genuinely seek the truth, and those who have heard the call to minister to His people.
