It's clear now that there is a deep and profound bitterness within Francis and it's a bitterness which he can not suppress, hence the almost daily outbursts. The bitterness is born of the realization that after half a century of the modernist onslaught, pockets of resistance.....pockets of stiff resistance, still remain.
Everything about Francis, his behavior, his words, his ridicule of those who love the Church and defend its laws, can be encompassed by one essential fact; he refuses to accept Jesus' Scriptural admonition that "the gate is narrow". This is Francis' fundamental non serviam. All his rage, all his outbursts can be explained by this; his desire to widen that gate. Hence, all the talk of "accompaniment", the issue of Communion for the divorced and civilly remarried, the ranting against those who defend fundamental and traditional Catholic Church law.......it's all essentially aimed at uprooting the gateposts and widening the gate.
On the other hand, a "good shepherd" will guide his sheep through that narrow gate or at least attempt to. This is a different model. The Francis shepherd "accompanies" while the sheep wander where they will then rages when they miss the gate to the sheep fold. He berates the "doctors of the law" who guard that gate and attempt to maintain it. The "good shepherd" is a different shepherd entirely.
None of this tortuous and scandalous Synod process was in any way necessary. Which parts of Familiaris Consortio were not clear to these faithless rogues? The whole thing was a transparent shell-game from beginning to end.
Bravo
