They're egotistical and I'm prideful. Maybe we should all get together and go ask for a blessing.It’s pretty egotistical to talk about those including clergy that have real issues with this document as if they are schismatics. As if two or three of you here are the only gifted ones with the understanding to accept this document, which by the way, is not infallible.
I'm afraid that Father Dwight is right on the money. I was particularly taken with the last paragraph:The Coming Fiducia Fallout | Fr. Dwight Longenecker
The recent document Fiducia Supplicans signed off by Pope Francis is probably the most disastrous piece of work in what will be seen as the worst papacy in the 20th-21st centuries. My comments here have nothing to do with the issue of same sex attraction. I have no opinion on those matters...dwightlongenecker.com
article said:I do know what ordinary Catholics and Catholic clergy can do. We can be faithful to the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ in our own lives, our own homes, parishes and schools. As I have said on this blog time and time again, “Don’t worry so much about what is happening in Rome. Worry about what is happening at home. Be faithful at the local level. Local is real. Do what you can with what you have where you are. The answer to confusion is clarity. Be clear in your faith, in your devotion and your Christian witness. Pray, work, witness joyfully and do not be afraid.
Which is precisely what I intend to do. God is not going to judge me on what kind of stuff the Pope or the Vatican churns out; He's going to judge me on how well *I*, personally, applied the teaching of the Faith in my own life. And I am a looooong ways from being perfect.
