They literally don't care what the Church teaches. The secular world view has very cleverly played right into this notion, to its success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-88869483353534231652014-01-15T18:18:17.109-05:002014-01-15T18:18:17.109-05:00Tish is sort of right in that people don't thi...Tish is sort of right in that people don't think about it a lot.

The Pope can't change dogma (he doesn't have that power, and even if he would attempt to do so, he would be thwarted in those plans)<br /><br />It is apparently, the image that things can change, (and one can argue this approach could potentially be a disaster)...that causes frustration for so many people.

Could it perhaps be a more nuanced approach that the pope has in mind? Perhaps if we give it time and patience, we will see the Holy Father's more complete agenda? --The agenda that these "news" sources cannot see, lacking the deeper eyes of faith, hope and love? I dunno, Perhaps I am being the simple-minded one here. I am not as clairvoyant as Fr.!

I think that Pope B12 knew it, but didn't know how to address it (in addition to his vast problems with the Curia!). The one hope I have for Trish and her children resides in her generation having produced some awesome doctrinally-conservative (interestingly for this blog, that is reflected in their liturgies! all PIs take note...) priests. As I have said before: As go the priests, so go their laity. <br />Now, the real question is posed for all priests: Can you be doctrinally-conservative and concomitantly pastorally open and non-judgmental as our present Pope is apparently trying to model? Tough question--and one we parents have to face and finesse 24/7. It takes a father who is strong in faith belief (knowledge of God), absolutely solid belief in himself (knowledge of self without being self-centered), AND a gentle-man about all. I've seen it happen--it works even though a very tough road fraught with misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Some of the greatest, on-fire young adults I know were raised this way (a couple of them now priests!).Anon friendnoreply@blogger.com
