Veteran Cardinal Chastises Francis For Corrupting The Papacy

1. This comment is to “Veteran Cardinal Chastises Francis”.

   Is Francis acting unilaterally? Given his dictatorial, Peronist
   “tutorial” as a teen-ager, and further painted with the Latin
   American brush of “Liberation Theology”, YES! It is the
   ONLY way he knows how to act “at the end of the day”.

   Ya cain’t hide a leopard’s spots!

   On the other hand, a Vicar of Christ —a la St. Catherine of
   Siena —is limited only by his 24/7 contact with [abiding in,
   in communion with ] Christ Himself, the Head of His
   Mystical Body the Church . . beyond merely earthly
   politics and all time-bound personal preferences and
   habitual one-sidedness.

   If the Lay Faithful or Hierarchy neither see nor sense
   this in the current Vicar, they ought to either call our
   their Pope on this quintessential omission, or work to
   “bring him ’round” to his duty, or find themselves equally
   wandering away from their Divine Head, Jesus Christ.

   So, what is the measure for judging a true Vicar
   of Christ? Surely Venerable Fulton Sheen clinched it
   when he concluded that: “There are three rules of
   dealling with ALL those who come to us, 1/ Kindness.
   2/ Kindness. 3/ Kindness.” . . namely, the Gospel’s
   Truth AS FOUND IN the Gospel’s —Christ’s —CHARITY.

   But how can Francis display kindness, when he seems
   never to be in sync with Christ, his “Boss”, but, instead
   has been taking a kind of Deist position, where God
   (Christ) floats up in cyberspace somewhere, DETACHED
   from BOTH His Vicar and His People ??

   Anthony sums up this [ NON Ecclesial but political ]
   “up side down” mix of events neatly @13:30 — 13:52.

   Thank you once again for such detailed clarification; if
   only Francis knew the meaning of this word . . and
   DEED ! But no, he prefers instead to make the Lay
   Faithful to grope around in the exasperating and
   disheartening fog of AMBIGUITY !
