Good. And we need to stop with the altar girls and the Extraordinary Ministers.

Pope Francis ‘Very Much in Favor’ of Women’s Diaconate, Says Italian Theologian

Vatican, with Pope Francis’ approval, says priests cannot bless same-sex couples (March 15, 2021)

Better pick up that mike again, Murph. Because there's no telling what Herectic Jorge will come with tomorrow.

[cherry]

normally I would be against female deacons/priests...

but think about it....this pope and his ilk allow practicing homosexuals and transgenders whatever that means, and pedophiles...

yet females aren't good enough ?...would break some cardinal rule?...

Pope John Paul II told Mother Teresa that as long as he was Pope, there would never be altar girls. Two days later she was greatly shocked by the nonsensical clarification of liturgical law permissive of altar girls from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. What happened in 1994? The Holy Father was in the hospital. The prefect took it upon himself to make the change. Afterwards, the Pope was furious. He told Mother Teresa that he allowed the change to stand because he did not want the public scandal of a Vatican fighting itself. If you look at the document in the ACTA, you will note that it is signed by the prefect, but the Pope never put his name to it.

Cardinal Ratzinger was a close friend and supporter of the Pope and he did not forget those who took advantage of Pope John Paul II.

He is a master gaslighter, so I don’t believe he means it.

In case you didn’t notice, MM, he picked the mic right back up again.

To restart the apparently unending process of contradicting himself and injecting strategic ambiguity.

The point Archbishop Fernandez is keenest to drive home is that there will be "no turning back:"

The pope goes slow because he wants to be sure that the changes have a deep impact.  The slow pace is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the changes.  He knows there are those hoping that the next pope will [] turn everything back around.  If you go slowly it's more difficult to turn things back. . . .

 

[Interviewer] :When Francis says he will have a short pontificate doesn't this help his adversaries?

The pope must have his reasons, because he knows very well what he's doing. [SIC]  He must have an objective that we don't understand yet.  You have to realize that he is aiming at reform that is irreversible.  If one day he should intuit [sic?] that he's running out of time and doesn't have enough time to do what the Spirit is asking him, you can be sure he will speed up.

So, to recap: The Pope will go slowly to make irreversible changes until he "intuits" that he needs to hurry up if he's to succeed in making irreversible changes.  

"He knows very well what he is doing"
