Franciscan Laxism in the Works?

Francis has already accepted it in principle by endorsing contraception for Zika. And let's not forget his gratuitous swipe at conscientous married couples--that they shouldn't breed like "rabbits." https://t.co/JF2BqNc3Zg

Franciscan "Collegiality"

JUST IN: #PopeFrancis limits authority of diocesan bishops, requiring them to obtain written permission from Rome before establishing a public association of the faithful.

Bergoglio as Legislator

Italian canonist Geraldina Boni noted in her book “problems with imperfect drafting” of ecclesial legislation during Francis’ pontificate, including “poor attention to formal aspects, inaccurate terminology, inner incoherence and lack of coordination with the whole legal system.” https://t.co/UHIcnPCjkr

Who is Jorge Bergoglio?

Conservative Argentinian Catholic, nephew of the cardinal who made Bergoglio a bishop, paints a horrifying but not unsubtle picture of the disturbed man who became pope. Must-read, even though his agenda is clear. Mentions little-known scandals. https://t.co/zpzEUnoV0B

Spot the Heresy

Mary’s secret is humility. It is her humility that attracted God’s gaze to her. Today, looking at Mary #assumed into heaven, we can say that humility is the way that leads to Heaven. #Angelus

The Bergoglio Enigma

Disagree. Francis *almost* appeared out of nowhere: hated, discredited Jesuit ex-provincial with a past who manoeuvred himself into a bishopric and persuaded the St Gallen idiots that he was their man. Left-wing Peronist; doesn’t care enough about theology to be modernist. https://t.co/qXpz66Da3Z

Feelingz > Reality

Sandro Magister: Francis, the Self-Contradictory Pope. Theory and Practice of a Non-Infallible Pontificate

Human Fraternity Not as Easy as It Sounds

Magister: Brothers All. But With the Muslims, for Francis, All Is More Complicated

The Worst Sort of Ultramontanism

Taking everything written by a reigning Roman pontiff as having value, merely because he wrote it.

+++ Read on La Civiltà Cattolica - English edition a previously unpublished text by fr. Jorge Mario #Bergoglio (1987-88) about the interpretation of reality and how obsolete categories are eventually superseded by reality. Full text: https://t.co/j9hBiBJ0WN

A Latin Perspective, Naturally

The emphasis on giving back to God...

The Eucharist is Jesus himself who gives himself entirely to us. Nourishing ourselves of Him and abiding in Him through Eucharistic Communion, if we do so with faith, transforms our life, transforms it into a gift to God and to our brothers and sisters. #HolyThursday

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) April 1, 2021

Eucharistia ipse Iesus est, qui ex integro nobis dono datur. Eo pasci et in Eo per eucharisticam Communionem commorari, si hoc cum fide facimus, vitam nostram innovat, in donum innovat Deo et fratribus. #FeriaVinCenaDomini

— Papa Franciscus (@Pontifex_ln) April 1, 2021

Is This a Correct Representation of Bergoglio's Pontificate?

“His principle is: never sign anything that is against doctrine, but approve and encourage changes by means of gestures and printing operations. It is the old Jesuit and Peronist tactic.”

Who Is Jorge Bergoglio?

Sources say that two senior cardinals wanted to bring the president of the German bishops’ conference to Rome for correction regarding his recent controversial comments, but were overruled by Pope Francis...

This makes perfect sense. Pope Francis does not want to reign in the German bishops, he has let them do their moves for years now, from Intercommunion to Communion for adulterers, to blessings of homosexual couples. He has no will to reign them in. Or he cannot, for some reason. https://t.co/iUFCuT2dam
