OSV News) — A recently resurfaced book by the Vatican’s doctrinal head is “deeply flawed” in its portrayal of mystical union with God, a theological expert told OSV News.

“La pasión mística: espiritualidad y sensualidad” (“Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality”) — written in 1998 by then-Father and now Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith — bills itself as “an invitation to the world of passionate love that hides in the depths of our being.”

Published while then-Father Fernández was an “expert” of the Argentine bishops’ faith and culture commission, the 94-page volume — published by Mexico-based Ediciones Dabar — explores what the author calls “the sublime paths of mystical union, until reaching a point in which we seem to touch the impossible.”


Three of the book’s chapters explicitly discuss o’, with the final chapter titled “God and the couple’s o.” Another passage recounts a 16-year-old girl’s “passionate encounter with Jesus” that includes caressing him on the beach and kissing his mouth.

Book ‘poses a real danger’​

It's a sick little bit of smut but what gets me is the hiding of it, keeping it off of his CV. As if somehow the thought processes that went into it are not relevant when every * other book he ever wrote made it into his CV.

* we don't really know how many other books or articles got buried in the process of trying to make him look like a wholesome guy.

People are now sifting through everything cardinal Fernandez has ever written and his 'genital spirituality' seems not to have been confined to one book. This is a developing situation. I expect more in a week or so that will detail it all. I don't want to rely just on this, but here it is: https://newdailycompass.com/en/[ble...tals-fernandezs-hot-texts-continue-to-surface
