This completely redefines every Catholic term into nonsense. That is, it’s true to all VatiScam II documents.

“People of God”? . . double-talk? . . Frankie the
ventriloquist? Ape-talk? Jesuistry? When your
photographer catches you with a straight, “sincere”
face, “the beautiful, and enriching we have lived”
might come across with that dummy’s strident
tone of “voice”, depending on whether, or not, we
TRUST Francis.
@2:53 ff “As Pope Francis requested“ . . wait a
minute! . . who’s talkin’ here? Who wrote this
summarizing page? Francis himself ??
This business of “Process” brings to mind one
class in Metaphysics. Our Prof was talking about
the current social, cultural REALITY of process
“out there”. Decisions were no longer simple.
Decisions now were a SERIES OF STEPS, a
process. That was the back
ground, the context, in which our Proff then
proceeded to speak about God . . AS PROCESS.
That was way back in 1968.
@12:47 because MOTHERS HAVE TO LISTEN
to their NON-scripted little kids; Prairie Grandpa
has been observing it for the past eight years.
Their Mom will not be ABLE to teach, ORDER,
and guide them without constantly listening,
which Mom does EVEN during night time
while SLEEP [ seems! ] to free her of that
natural “instinct” of listening.
But YOUR questions, Anthony, are legit. Back
to metaphysics days: the same Prof who
suggested contemplating God now AS PROCESS,
in another class suddenly “shouted from [ HIS ]
rooftop” that “GOD IS A ROCK, thrown into
your life . . and WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT ?? [ only three options possible: kick
against It; run from It; build on It, i.e., on Christ,
on Peter-the-Rock ].
But now, Pope Francis, “ain’t building on no
Rock, I reckon . . looks like”.
Most Loved Anthony,
The “stumbling block” , as you have pointed out succinctly, is Christ Himself.
He as Rabi, teacher , Who insists upon conversion , “go and sin no more”. Who did he address ? The INDIVIDUAL .
The Church, The Body of Christ , calls each one of us to DAILY CONVERSION. It is dynamic, alive , and transformative . It is The Imitation of Christ ( Kempis ) . It is sanctification and purification in keeping with a supernatural INDIVIDUAL relationship with The Holy Trinity and The Blessed Mother .
The Church , in a “macro” dimension is the sum total of all conversions . The Church IS the deposit of faith and morals. It teaches The Word and oral tradition . It teaches “micro” conversions of each individual as might align any soul with Its Head , Our Lord Jesus Christ .
Yes. We must listen to Him . He meant what He said and says what He means . It is said 23% of the Godpel message speaks to a casting out and deliverance from demons . Each individual is responsible to identify and discern those demons which tempt them and then reject them ( repentance ). The macro is responsible to teach the “how to “ (prayer and fasting ).
All that to say, those with a calling , equal to anyone , are CALLED to conversion. Those in pastoral ministry are not called to convert the other to their error or their vices !!! In other words, “clericalism “ is NOT to deny your
uniform and “put on new clothes” . TRUE clericalism is to wear one’s collar and identify oneself as “militant”, a guide to others, pointing to Christ , as might allow Him and His Holy Spirit to inspire TRUE CONVERSION.
Blessed, Raphael ( aka Dr.Scott )
Dr. Scott, yours is a stirling summation of the Faith
and I’ve “copy-and-pasted” it to my Lighthouse
Quotes for safe-keeping and return visits.
MANY “Thanks!”, and “Ora Pro Invicem”, a
standard “Ad Dieu/ Ciao/ goodbye” w-a-y back
in letter-writing days.
It means: “Let us [continue] to pray for each
other in turn”.
