NO MATTER WHO DEFENDS SYNODALITY, I REMAIN SCRATCHING MY HEAD IN BEWILDERMENT AS DO MOST OF THE CARDINALS EXCEPT, AND WAIT FOR IT, TWO JESUIT CARDINALS

Tasteless as is synodality:


This NcR report tells us about two Jesuit cardinals who are defending synodality in he face of other cardinals, perhaps the majority, like the majority of Catholics, who don’t understand it, don’t like it and want it to stop.

These two Jesuit cardinals don’t help their case either. It is just more double talk that lies about what is actually happening while saying it isn’t. It’s very Donald Trump, who is also included in this article. And, yes, I agree with what a member of the European Parliament said about our president, duly elected by our American democratic process, since I don’t suffer from “democracy derangement syndrome.” 

Press the title for the NcR article:

President Trump,

Jerking the Left’s chain

I was actually amused more than anything. They kind of asked for it.

Synodality, is a waste, at least to me. Sinful talking that will only lead to the desired conclusions and confusion. Too much else requires attention.

I found the AI Pope Trump as hilarious as the stylin' Francis...

As for the Francis synoododality thing, a blatant and transparent attempt to keep reshuffling the deck while dealing from the bottom until he could lay down the hand he wanted, while declaring it an honest game.

In regard to President Trump having mocked the Papacy:

He has insisted often that his supposed knowledge and respect of Catholicism is decades-old. Nevertheless, that has not spurred him to have rejected the many ways — examples: His promotion of abortion, as well as in vitro fertilization — in which he has long supported the Culture of Death .

Anyway, God is merciful and slow to anger. As a sinner, I am thankful for that.

Therefore, may God's unfathomable mercy and forgiveness extend to President Trump's mockery of the Papacy.

Pax.

With all due respect, I cannot say this enough. We all need to just SHUT UP AND PRAY. Better yet, shut up, do some penance and pray.

Are not these the same clothing items your very own precious Francis mocked and refused to wear, and belittled those who did wear them? And yet wearing them in a parody rates need of divine forgiveness?

Bob,

Bravo!

Father McDonald labeled as "Tasteless" the photograph of "Pope" Trump.

Father McDonald, I agree with that.

But Pope Francis emphasized repeatedly God's mercy and forgiveness. It would be nice if Predisent T

I wish to say please that it would be nice if President Trump apologized for his "tasteless", anti-Catholic act in question. But Pope Francis taught us well in regard to the monumental manner in which God offers to us His mercy and forgiveness.

I am certain that Pope Francis would have extended mercy and forgiveness to President Trump in regard to Mister Trump's "tasteless" act in question.

Pax.

Father McDonald said..."And, yes, I agree with what a member of the European Parliament said about our president, duly elected by our American democratic process, since I don’t suffer from “democracy derangement syndrome.”

The European Parliament member in question declared in regard to President Trump:

"How sad it is to see a country that was once great, reliable and serious, being led by a man who continually makes it look ridiculous."

I find it dreadful that Mister Donald Trump is our President. But what was the alternative? "President" Kamala Harris? She did not have any business to have even run for President. Joseph Biden cognitive condition was in dire shape.

Also, I consider the many dreadful leaders who govern nations throughout the world. America has her share of faults. But does President Trump embarrass to a greater extent to which countless world leaders have embarrassed their nations?

Pax.

I prefer a “tasteless” president than a president who allowed millions of illegal aliens into the US, from which action US citizens were raped or murdered. I also prefer a president who is attempting to stop useless, cruel wars and weeding out fraud and waste in government than one who views this corruption as an opportunity for himself and his cronies.

Fr. Allan J. McDonald said...

No leader of a nation should mock the papacy or even suggest that he become the pope. King Henry Viii did that and Catholic sycophants accepted him as his Church of England.

There's so much craziness on the internet, I don't put much effort into being aghast. I'm still amused at how he looks.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the apology.

ByzRus said...

I don't disagree with the sentiment, just its delivery.
