Sandro Magister Praises Cardinal Dolan

A bit much? Synod. The “Conspirator” Who Does Everything in the Light of Day by Sandro Magister

He is Timothy Dolan, one of the thirteen cardinals of the letter to the pope. A living example of that “parresia,” that candor of word and thought, so desired by Francis

Napier, the Voice of Truth on the Letter of the Thirteen Cardinals by Sandro Magister

It took this South African archbishop to clarify in public the true reasons for the letter, which he signed with the others. It all started with the 2014 synod and the maneuvers of some to force its results. Here he is, word for word

The Catholic Thing: The End(s) of Marriage Since Vatican II by Howard Kainz

"But as I mentioned in a previous column, the “demotion” of “primary end” and the subsequent emphasis on “unitive” aspects of marriage, has even led some priests to consecrate intentionally childless marriages.
