  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hopefully we're not in for a continued chastisement but we'll see!
If there’s a continued chastisement, I won’t be surprised.

It feels like they're turning it into a sport, "Here's your lineup for the upcoming conclave sponsored by FanDuel! (Please gamble responsibly). Half of me is amused the other half eh.

Collectively, our society needs to repent and turn to Christ or suffer the consequences.

Yep and we get the priests (and bishops, cardinals, and popes that we deserve)

Indeed. Praying God will raise up many more holy, orthodox, and faithful priests. His will be done!

Jokes aside, I like the "where they stand" section (assuming it's accurate).

I find some of their positions odd though, like Cardinal O'Malley opposes banning/suppressing the Latin Mass but he supports blessing same-sex couples?

Bless the person, not the relationship I suppose? Also, if you are curious, look up daughters of Trent. They’re a homosexual Catholic group that supports tradition. It’s really bizarre.

I guess it's no different than a liberal who likes attending a Latin Mass, they just turn a blind eye to the morals and the theology that rise to the surface through it.

From a cursory reading of that chart, our best bets are either Burke, Muller, Ranjith, Sarah, and possibly Pizzaballa (assuming the "ambiguous" marks he got for "blessing same-sex couples" and "making priestly celibacy optional" are because he's never spoken on them one way or another. Same with Cardinal Eijk.

Now I know it's highly unlikely Burke or Sarah get in just because of their age. Maybe Muller too. But Ranjith may be possible, Pizzaballa definitely seems possible to me but what do I know?

But God help us all if we get a Hollerich in there. My goodness. :crossrc:

Sin is not getting blessed. I believe any blessing is for them to turn from that specific sinful lifestyle.
