Not that the article is without value, but seems poorly focused, and an airing of grievances with the late Pope Francis.
Without additional context, my interpretation of Pope Leo’s statement regarding us/them is the very common theme of Christian unity. I don’t see any negation of the truth and universality of the Church. Additionally, particularly in social media, there appears to be an us/them mentality between some Latin Mass goers and those who don’t. It is not productive.
Regardless of Fr Hughe’s book, God is indeed a God of surprises, just ask Abraham and Sarah, repeatedly. Ask the Apostles upon seeing Jesus calm the storm and walk on water. Ask St. John Cardinal Newman. His divine will is regularly a surprise to mankind.
Regarding women, is this statement not true:
Unfortunately, many women, from childhood onwards, are still discriminated against and suffer various forms of violence.
It is true. Look in many non-Christian parts of the world. Regardless of creator of International Women’s Day, shouldn’t attention be drawn to suffering and not treated with basic human dignity?
While everyone is free to have their own thoughts and opinions, as well as sharing them commercially or otherwise, I don’t think this article was much more than a drive by and a critical swipe at Pope Leo.
I can’t believe you are comparing miracles worked by God to the blessing of homosexuals and giving Holy Communion to unrepentant adulterers.
