But first, kudos to Archbishop Aquila of Denver for this tweet:
Archbishop Aquila of Denver responds to Cardinal McElroy's essay on the synod: "I must admit that if I thought the way some of my brothers think, I would have left the Church long ago and joined another Christian community."
Thank God for an Archbishop who is standing up to what Pope Francis has said some people make and eat (croprophlia, one who eats it and perhaps makes it) the crap of Cardinal McElroy.
Read Archbishop Aquila excellent article on Radical Inclusion HERE.
My comment: Archbishop Aquila should have told McElroy and others of his ilk to join the dying Episcopal Church so they can finish them off, then they can become Unitarians.
And this from George Wiegel, perhaps the cardinals at the next conclave should elect him pope—canonically it is possible! At least we would get clear, sharp and non heretical teaching:

Some very sound thoughts and reflections from Bishop Barron.

Unfortunately these apostates love their gravy train so they will remain. The Archbishop is a brave man for stating the obvious.
FRMJK, I just read Barron’s commentary and it is good. But there are two elephants in the room that need to be distinguished. All Catholics have an obligation to attend Mass and to follow Divine and Church law. That is as inclusive as it gets.
However, we are all sinners in need of conversion, repentance and conversion. At Mass and other “churchy” activities, but especially at Holy Communion, there are some exclusions. Usually these are self-imposed if the communicant is the only one aware of his mortal sin. In public sins, the Church places a censure, such as divorced and remarried outside of the Church for heterosexuals and attempted “marriages” of homosexuals.
Also in the RCIA process, we invite everyone, but have to make some prudential decision about inclusion or exclusion of those who show no conversion, are in public sinful situations, such as an invalid marriage, etc.
But apart from that, do we allow Catholics to attend Mass in drag, ala those who entertain that way? Do we allow transsexuals to teach in our schools and CCD programs, proclaim the Scriptures at Mass, distribute Holy Communion and in leadership positions in the parish. I think we can be exclusive in this area. We can apply what I just wrote to those interested in the priesthood, diaconate or Relgious life.
