Additional statements would fall under other established theological censures, such as scandalous, erroneous in faith, and ambiguous, among others.”"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-68932669234429733552016-07-24T18:07:08.185-04:002016-07-24T18:07:08.185-04:00Look for what the Catholic Ladies Group just said ...Look for what the Catholic Ladies Group just said on this blog.<br />See if you can find it.<br />PaxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-90050687886639482392016-07-24T17:55:12.922-04:002016-07-24T17:55:12.922-04:00Ariana Huffington is one bitter, babe.

It is possibly one of the most sinister things I've seen coming from Bergoglio thus far, but I think few people will understand how serious it is or could be."<br /><br />"The document, in short, is an attempt to close off avenues of opposition to – and escape from – the new paradigm Francis and his friends have been busy installing in the Church, cementing the ultra-liberal direction and, in the words of his lieutenant Cardinal Maradiaga, making it so that his changes can never be undone."<br /><br />"The permanent re-structuring of the entire Church from top to bottom, the installation of a radically different religious paradigm, has been the goal from the start."<br /><br />"So determined, in fact, is the regime to make sure there is no doubt about altering contemplative life, that Francis has stated in the text that this document trumps even Canon Law. He specifies that any canons that “directly contradict any article of the present Constitution” will be abrogated."<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-76439673624900475432016-07-24T16:57:14.817-04:002016-07-24T16:57:14.817-04:00I just finished reading "Vultum Dei quaerere&...I just finished reading "Vultum Dei quaerere", and there's really nothing either innovative or regressive in it.
