It always saddens me to learn how traditional clergy have been marginalized, ostracized and persecuted.<br /><br />These modernist nuns (and priests for that matter), obviously have not read Pope St. Pius X’s scathing encyclical Pascendi (1907).<br /><br />In this encyclical, St. Pius X explains how ignorance and pride rouse in Modernists and is displayed as disobedience and complete disrespect for authority. In fact, this warm-hearted Pope wrote Pascendi only after all his kind efforts to convert the Modernists had proved fruitless and convinced him that it would be “a crime” to remain silent.<br /><br />REGINA DÉCOR CARMELI, ORA PRO NOBIS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-60865230283851295842009-12-11T16:57:10.144-05:002009-12-11T16:57:10.144-05:00Shouldn't the word "women" be spelle...Shouldn't the word "women" be spelled "womyn?"Danhttp://livingwaterinanemptydesert.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-13575670395677744752009-12-11T15:03:01.838-05:002009-12-11T15:03:01.838-05:00These women, and some Priests, who want to remain ...These women, and some Priests, who want to remain in their Catholic vocations while openly dissenting from Church teaching are like the people who want to be in the Army but don't want to march. They need to just get out. They are like spoiled children (for which lax Church discipline bears some responsibility), and spoiled children are obnoxious.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-70807914726059785572009-12-11T11:17:06.640-05:002009-12-11T11:17:06.640-05:00I thought to myself when you posted “...Continuity...I thought to myself when you posted “...Continuity,” how random (yes, with 42 months of campus life behind me I have started to think in a dialect of sorts)! Then I read this, the content being truly a circumstance categorized for Mad Dogs and Englishmen.<br /> <br />However, disregarding the heat of the day; nonetheless, the light of the day does demand that wounds get noticed before they can be tended and healed. So, you previously call attention to Marchetto & Alberigo sans Magister! <br /><br />It is so very hard to see past humongous investitures of prayer, work, penance, and time that can fasten a person to the breech of “discontinuity.” Four decades and two generations later still finds suppurating venom issuing from “ruptures” steeped in rigid functionalism and uncompromising matters of conscience. It is a strong and stalwart person who has constructed a withstanding that energizes us to look at impediments toward “...Continuity.” <br /><br />I was catechized for 12 years by nuns (’59-’71). The memories that last are good ones. In these years I see how my learning from them in precision, perseverance, and rigor, pursued me in how I coped with my environmental press. More memories of love, justice, and solidarity flow in unison towards a profound nostalgia for these persons. These qualities and more energized and enabled me in my exceptionality. <br /><br />The “tide toward extinction” cannot be treated as cavalier. It is not just a sad thing we can move past by saying, “oh, well.” After 22 years as a catechist of youth let me say the absence of these women and their worthy missions in our schools and in our parishes is sorely apparent. Sorely, as in wound, and again as in “rupture.” Holy Mother Church needs the voluminous presence of these worthy persons once again in parish life. It is arguably evident that this is not a menu item but a recipe requirement. This Bandurian like model that exemplifies holiness seems to be critical in underpinning a learning. A Vygotsky-like scaffolding towards the apprehension of savvy in the matter of belief. <br /><br />Pastor, your attention to this matter at the expense of some risk is important. Thank you for sounding a voice concerning it. We truly need holy women in our parish life, and the populations in their communities will not increase until the wound is defined and salved. Bringing our focus to an instrument that may treat well of this wound is a good thing.-Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586480579220554662noreply@blogger.com
