For starters, Pope Francis assumed the image of a proletariat Pope while supporting the obstinate entitlements, the secrecy, the unaccountability, the wealth, the self-satisfied traditionalism of the ruling class. That last part about traditionalism (sic) is intended to distract from the traditional entitlements by alluding to liturgical matters. I think it is fair to say that liturgical matters are not on the minds of many of the Vatican hierarchy until it is brought up by liturgical traditionalists. They already hold the liturgical high ground and control it. This is evidenced by their use of a free hand changing it to suit their political goals. What they don't like is being proven wrong about what they are trying to do with the liturgy and with their distorted versions of it.rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-78682821870613203512018-11-04T11:28:56.851-05:002018-11-04T11:28:56.851-05:00I did read the article and I do think both the Cat...I did read the article and I do think both the Catholic Church and the political landscapes are both incredibly divided. So I think article is correct about the division in the Church between opposing viewpoints.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504517769804159508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-60117895139277590102018-11-04T10:39:12.986-05:002018-11-04T10:39:12.986-05:00Anonymous 9:43.

Heavily overstated, snarky style of a gossip columnist at best.<br />His Vatican insider is a mid-level Curial gossip. His background includes troubled junior seminary experience and references the Pink Palace, perhaps just so you will think him “fair and balanced”? Good grief. <br /><br />I could go on with all the ridiculous literary tactics and non sequiturs employed in the article, but the length of this post reply would rival/ surpass what MT often does here.<br /><br />Did Fr.
