Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?

Congress? Any answers?

The media is scared of Donald Trump because if he attacks them, they lose money.

I'm not scared.

I'm not backed by big corporate sponsors. I will always stand up to Trump.

The 'message' of McElroy's red hat

The pope speaks of unity and fraternity in a similar way to our president. By saying he wants peace and yet acting in a way contrary to peace. He is not willing to dialogue with those who see systemic issues within the church. He rejects those who hold to the beauty of ancient litergical practices. We lack coherence with church teaching on critical matters. It seems that modernism is akin to the time of Arianism in church history. Much like St. Athanasius, Bishops like Cordelione, Chaput, Burk…

you cannot dialogue with the devil

Adam Hewitt's avatar

No you cannot. But who is the devil in this context?

Joseph's avatar

the devil is behind those who refuse to submit to the sacred pastors, and those who favour calumny and rash judgement

Adam Hewitt's avatar

But who are the sacred pastors? Those who wish to alter the sacred deposit of faith, or those who hold to it?

This is more about the passive aggressive actions of the pope and his delight and encouragement of "making a mess". The man talks out of both sides of his mouth and instead of "confirming" his brothers and sisters in the faith confuses them. Chaos is a sign of a desire to disrupt both the understanding and practice revealed in Scripture and Tradition in the Church. It does not come from God.

There has been more deference to the idol of Pachamama and the willful disregard of doctrine considering the blessing of the sin that is (and will ever be) same-sex unions in the German conference than there has been to prelates who hold to Catholic teaching. It is scandalous to appoint any cardinal that has a history with McCarrick, most especially one who would willfully give the Eucharist to someone known to manifest grave sin. I hold hope that the past 50 years will be a reawakening for the…

"Pachamama" is not an idol.

it is ridiculous to lay the blame on Pope Francis for the German Synodal Way.

while I don't agree with McElroy myself, I don't think his view is heretical, and he's not entirely wrong. and I certainly don't think that his actions with regard to McCarrick disqualify him from anything.

yes, the Church will survive, but the "Spirit of Vatican II" will be the cause of its survival, not a threat. because the only spirit of Vatican II is the Holy Spirit, who guides the coll…

If Pachamama is not an idol, Francis is not the Pope. Wikipedia describes Pachamama as a goddess revered by the indigenous peoples of the Andes. In Inca mythology she is an Earth Mother type goddess, and a fertility goddess.

The Vatican Dicastery for Communication explained that Pachamama is “an image of motherhood and the sacredness of life, a traditional symbol for indigenous peoples representing the bond with our ‘mother earth.' "

Pachamama is pornographically naked. Her womb proclaims an…

Where are people seeking to "keep Pachamama present within the Catholic Church"? My understanding was that she featured in an indigenous presentation as a representation of the ancient spirituality of the Amazon. In Australia, we recognise the indigenous spirituality all the time at social and religious ceremonies as evidence of Gods presence among people outside and before the coming of Christ. It's a magnificent affirmation that God is everywhere since the beginning of time.
