Today there is a trend by some to walk into what Gad Saad a evolutionary psychologist
calls, "suicidal empathy."
Professor | Gad Saad
This is when a person or group of persons feel guilty for sins of the past which they had
nothing to do with but feel the need to rectify those sins according to their own feelings of
misplaced compassion.
It doesn't work and only creates guilt which they try to place on others as they see themselves as
more compassionate and empathetic than anyone who disagrees with them.
Well said. This was a stupid move, like all the asinine apologies - over 90 of them - from JP2. All that this nonsense achieves, is to remind people that the “infallible” Church could be, and was, extremely & disastrously wrong in a matter of morals, namely, the morality of slavery; and wrong, not once, but for almost all her life, for many centuries. This apology is an implicit denial of a dogma. That makes Uncle Bob a heretic, and, at most, an ex-Pope. Maybe he would be more at home as a Mormon “prophet” or as a member of the Jehovah’s Witness Governing Body.
Who in their right mind is going to accept, tamely, what the Church teaches on morals is reliable, let alone irreformable & unchangeable ? And if the Papacy can “see the light” on this issue, it is totally reasonable to suppose that the Papacy will, a few centuries in the future, also “see the light” on the goodness and rightness of abortion & homosexuality. If the Papacy’s tradition on the morality of slavery or of the DP can be thrown out, there is no reason why the Papacy’s tradition on the morality of abortion & homosexuality cannot also be thrown out. A lesbian Papess (or two, both ”gloriously reigning” as a couple), is only a matter of time, because in today’s cool, with-it, hypermodern, pseudo-merciful, Syn-on-more-odal Church, anything goes. Unless, of course, it is Traditional; in whch case it is totes evil & beyond the pale.

It’s the now usual papal virtue signalling garbage; very cheap gesture politics which makes the papacy look good to a few, and unprincipled to everyone else. The practical result will be to show how totally unreliable and up its own backside the Papacy is, and how nothing it teaches can be trusted. The Papacy is a champion at undermining its - more accurately, Christ’s - teaching authority. And Catholics are the people who have to put up with this faecal matter. Like an incontinent baby, the Papacy craps in the bed, but Catholics have to clean up the mess & get rid of the stink. Disgusting behaviour.
