Pope Francis is all about accommodation. As his theological mentor, Juan Carlos Scannone, has said, he wants the Church to become poorer so that it can better adapt itself to the ways of the world. Pope Benedict XVI, on the other hand, is talking about a poor, pilgrim Church, open to the world in the way of martyrdom. They have two very different ways of understanding the Cross. Pope Francis's theology of the Cross is much more (although not entirely) like that of the atheist Catholic Gianni Vattimo: the Cross is a symbol of God's self-divestment of divinity so that humankind can bring its projection of divinity back down into itself. Sort of a reversing of the process of alienation that the atheist Feuerbach talked about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-61556746411582779282014-10-09T10:05:13.207-04:002014-10-09T10:05:13.207-04:00Father, maybe next time you could quote (or cherry...Father, maybe next time you could quote (or cherry-pick) from Bl.

This isn't an attack on Francis but what is going on? You know that old saying "is the Pope Catholic". That would feel weird saying that today. I am so confused, upset, scared etc. etc. etc. what is going on? <br /><br />Is Francis crazy, is he a modernist, is he trying to destroy the Faith or is he humble etc etc. Why will he not uphold the teachings of the Church clearly and without compromise. I know, " I am a loyal son of the Church" Luther could say the same thing and it means nothing. Then he allows Cardinal Kasper to say we can't use the word adultry and is silent. What is he doing? Just the fact that the world thinks Catholic Doctrine is mean, evil, outdated and is going to chnge ........ And Francis stays silent. Well doesn't that make him culpable. And please stop with "this was mis translated or South Americans think this way etc. what's going on. Please please give a reasoned explanation without spin, without trying to be Milton Berle, just the truth. What's going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-29179530812060484982014-10-09T08:07:43.024-04:002014-10-09T08:07:43.024-04:00Why is the Holy Father making that obscene gesture...Why is the Holy Father making that obscene gesture?
