Francis Goes On Paranoid Rant About Traditional Catholics

One thought on “Francis Goes On Paranoid Rant About Traditional Catholics”

1. This one’s a doozie. As soon as we’re talking “wings”
   [ right, left, centre ; factions; the chicken cares not
   if you eat his right or his left wing ] we’re talking politics.

   But political wrangling misses, and does not respect
   the ETERNAL REALITY which is our Faith and our
   adoption as Children of God at our Baptism. God has
   no nationality [ though some say Irish ]. The service
   of Charity by those of good will goes to each and all,
   anywhere, anytime. Always. ALL Nations “to observe
   what I have taught . . . ”

   ALL the Baptized are His adopted children, SENT
   as the Holy Spirit prepares and dispatches them.

   My twin sister was diagnosed paranoid-schizophrenic.
   It took her life . . hounded her final days with: “I’m
   dying, and I don’t want to die!” [ Her life and death
   DID achieve closure. Received a Catholic Mass and
   burial ]

   Pope Francis . . paranoid ? Not so sure.

   Francis bemoans there being too much talk and
   little listening, which, from this Prairie Grandpa’s
   casual observations is only TOO true ! This, the
   Pope has detected, weakens the SENSE OF THE
   COMMON GOOD. How to recover and restore?

   Francis’s answer: SYNODALITY !

   WHAT, and HOW is that ??

   Says Francis: “the Church as a whole [ probably
   beginning before, but also encouraged by, the
   Pontificate of Pope Pius XII ] has embarked
   on a journey to rediscover the Word TOGETHER
   [ emphasizing it ] . . the Word TOGETHER.
   Walk TOGETHER. Question TOGETHER. Take
   responsibility TOGETHER for COMMUNITY
   discernment, which for us is prayer [ as that
   prayer in the Upper Room TOGETHER pre-
   pared for the promised Holy Spirit ]: THIS IS
   SYNODALITY, which we would like to make
   a daily habit in all its expressions . . ”

   I often get the sense that Francis thinks and
   speaks/ writes in the Latino [ Spanish ] idiom
   BUT HAS BARELY “CAUGHT” the English sense
   and idiom.

   Hasn’t he MISSED the the ideals and desires
   —expressed in a “nutshell” in his “Together”
   homily —which have already existed for millennia
    “contained and guarded” in the Church’s Sacred
   Deposit OF FAITH . . but need MANY HOURS OF
   quiet and solitude TO STUDY, learn and
   understand?
