Using such language is bringing the papacy down to the level of the gutter and, as he has that term at least twice before, unfortunately, I am beginning to wonder if he has a sexual hang up and this type of stuff is getting on his mind. I think his confessor would do well to counsel him from using such base language. <br /><br />I am disgusted.<br /><br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-64665408493900900192016-12-12T22:09:05.353-05:002016-12-12T22:09:05.353-05:00Mark Thomas,

But if you want to play that game, the left-wingers have been attacking the Holy See non-stop for decades, for being orthodox. Look no further than the National "Catholic" Reporter, Commonweal, America, and the Tablet. You really live in an alternate world of reality.

Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer spewed preposterous comments about Pope Saint John Paul II. Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer were "serious" Churchmen. But did that mean that their analysis of Pope Saint John Paul II was to have been taken seriously?<br /><br />The reality is that the vast amount of Catholics never held such opinions in question about Pope Saint John Paul II. Fast-forward to today. His Holiness Pope Francis isn't more "polarizing" to the right-wing than Pope Saint John Paul II was to the right-wing. However, the right-wing spews nonsense at Pope Francis that is similar to the nonsense that they spewed at Pope Saint John Paul II.<br /><br />Therefore, simply because a "serious" right-winger declares Pope Francis/Amoris Laetitia "heretical," doesn't mean that the vast majority of Catholics need to take seriously the right-wing's analysis of Pope Francis.<br /><br />Again, one couldn't find Churchmen more "serious-minded" than Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer. Nevertheless, they spewed right-wing nonsense time and again.<br /><br />Various right-wingers accused Pope Saint John XIII and Blessed Paul VI of heresy. What the "serious" right-wing spews today at Pope Francis is simply the same old garbage that the right-wing spewed decades ago at our Popes — two of whom are recognized by the True Church as Saints.<br /><br />It just seems more overwhelming today as via the Internet, the right-wing attacks Pope Francis second-by-second, and day-after-day, which they were unable to do years ago.<br /><br />Again, based upon the right-wing's same old vicious attacks from decades ago, when they labeled our Popes "communists," "heretics," and even "dirty-minded," there isn't any reason to believe that Pope Francis is more "polarizing" than his predecessors.<br /><br />It simply is the case of the right-wing being the right-wing.<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-70760453101818409572016-12-11T16:34:01.120-05:002016-12-11T16:34:01.120-05:00I was hoping that anus analysis died with Freud. ...I was hoping that anus analysis died with Freud.

As I noted the other day here, right-wingers and left-wingers attacked Popes just as viciously as Pope Francis is attacked today. The difference is that years ago, for the most part, attacks against Popes were broadcast via print — usually weekly and/or monthly newspapers, magazines, and newsletters.<br /><br />Pope Saint John XXII, Blessed Paul VI, Saint John Paul II, and Benedict XVI were characterized by certain right-wings as "liberals, modernists, communists, heretics...destroyers of the Faith."<br /><br />Conversely, said Popes were labeled as "right-wing reactionaries" by certain left-wingers.<br /><br />But it's all nonsense as the venom spewed at a Pope is meaningless to the vast majority of Catholics as it's a given that they will look favorably upon their Pope.<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-8589418640716610162016-12-11T12:49:08.995-05:002016-12-11T12:49:08.995-05:00Dialogue at 9:47 - I think your hug comment is clo...Dialogue at 9:47 - I think your hug comment is closer to the truth than many think.

There are so many of these curmudgeon priests in the Church today, priests who grumble against everything fun like incense, bells, chants, cassocks, processions, devotions, etc. It's like going to a birthday party and berating the family for providing balloons and cake, and then telling everyone that the family is rigid and possibly hiding some psychosis! Maybe Cardinal Burke just needs to give Pope Francis a hug and tell him that God loves him, and invite him to let go of his resentments and prejudices.

To be honest with you, it was a technical terms that I had never heard before but it is up there with pedophilia, ephepbophia, necrophilia, sodomy, cunnilingus and the like. All of these, including the technical word His Holiness used, are the same and conjure up images that I prefer not to have in my mind. <br /><br />His Holiness used this term to condemn a very serious problem in the media, that of false news and also of maligning people. It was in the context of calling this false news, that could be true, when it dredges up negative truths about an individual, long forgiven and forgotten, happening 20 to 50 years ago and feeds it to the consuming public, like feeding them "s--t" to use a term His Holiness did not use but the more technical term. <br /><br />Those who are crying fowl would also take offense if the pope used the term sodomy or sodomite or some slang for it which in my mind, when I hear the word conjures images that I would prefer not to think about. <br /><br />But what the pope says about the media is true, just watch tv and you will know the s--t that people are eating!Fr.

The state that "The persistent anger, rancor, vituperation, use of uncouth words (which is known to be increasingly frequent in private)".<br /><br />I have to agree with Rorate Caeli and it has seemed to me that things are getting increasingly worse. We are all getting an education from Francis and not in the best way. His latest comments (which he has already stated in 2013) made me feel physically ill and I think something will have to be done sooner rather than later. "Houston, we have a problem" is no joke ... <br /><br /><br />http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2016/12/dear-sycophants-of-pope-francis-if-you.html#more<br /><br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
