Which Way, Latin Man?

I believe @PetriOP's position on this matter is untenable. Francis will not use the phrase "intrinsic evil" to describe the DP, but all of his phrasing clearly indicates it: "immoral" "inadmissible" "contrary to the Gospel" "attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person" https://t.co/VQTZM1ShiN

“If the goal is to dismantle the teaching authority & credibility of the Church on faith & morals, the death penalty teaching’s the perfect vehicle to accomplish that. It’s a Trojan horse designed to carry the forces in support of doctrinal & dogmatic relativism into the Church.” https://t.co/INOMw7tUcC

Have Dominicans Ever Not Been Ultramontanes

First, I don’t think Pope Francis’ position on the death penalty is indefensible just as I never thought St. John Paul II’s was.

Second, I’m a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, and I respect the Holy Father’s prudential judgment. https://t.co/LLN5SeTy33

CNA spoke to @PetriOP about #FratelliTutti and the death penalty. He said Pope Francis' development of Church teaching was "definitely in the line of what previous popes have taught.” https://t.co/amDVvm5H6K

How Should One Understand Parables?

As a revelation of a truth about the Mystery? Or should parables be reduced to a supposed "literal" moral or political meaning, which serve as the theological basis of a papal encyclical on "love" (or "charity")? I think the latest encyclical does bring into relief a difference between Latin (or Jesuits) exegesis of parables and the Christological (or properly mystical) exegesis that one finds in the East.

Pope Francis wants #FratelliTutti to move us to action — like the Good Samaritan, writes #Jesuit @BMcCSJ. https://t.co/AWSGDGi5D3
