Cardinal Hollerich feels bad that women can’t be ordained priests. Thus feeling bad is the hallmark for changing doctrines and dogmas.
I feel bad that the LGBTQ+++ can’t love and fornicate with whomever they wish and wherever, thus we need to change the Church’s teaching on disordered affections and relationships.
I feel bad that those who can’t live monogamy can’t have multiple spouses or at least have multple partners apart from their spouses. Thus the Church needs to change her teachings to make these people feel innocent and welcomed in the Church as they are.
I feel bad that kleptomaniacs feel unwelcome at Church and counting the collection. We must include them in all the security needs of the Church and not make them feel guilty for stealing as they were born that way.
I feel bad for sexual predators. They’re human too and must be welcomed in our homes, schools and religious education programs as well as our other ministries to shut-ins and vulnerables at home. The Church must allow these people, born this way, to live a guilt free life with acceptance of all they are and do.
Fr. James Martin, SJ is thrilled that the Vatican published a summary of discussions from the last synod. This summary quoted someone with a same-sex attraction as feeling exluded by the Church and that he and his husband have a great marriage and are fulfilled and active members of the Church. Fr.Martin, gushing, that a Vatican summary included their testimony is a sign that the synodal Church will accept persons, once considered to be living in sin, as saints and praise what was once considered a mortal sin no longer is. Fr. Martin no longer feels bad but good about this. The Church is correcting their course.
I am happy for those persons and I am glad the synodal Church can change Divine teachings to make people feel less excluded and more included.
The above is a script for a Twilight Zone episode.
