Text of the page (random words):
wesley so is doing well he was in the lead coming into round 6 after which he is tied with the unlikable hans neimann who may be growing up i had the pleasure of seeing one game play out in which wesley defeated puer for whom i have had a long dislike because of his shenanigans with the candidates a few years back black can mate in 4 nb i ll hold comments with solutions till the next day so

and paul vi said that the council was pastoral and not dogmatic and rome today seems to be saying that in order to be in full communion you have to accept all of vatican ii lock and stock but really why put that on the sspx when no one else is held to that standard hence fr mcteigue and i do not see any escape from this problem even though father deftly starts out with harry houdini i m going to break this down so you can clearly see what he is doing and then remember it so you can use it yourselves fr mcteigue begins with the image of harry houdini escaping from impossible constraints straitjacket chains barrel waterfall this becomes the metaphor for the current ecclesial problem the problem is the claim that full communion with rome requires nb full acceptance of the documents of vatican ii if you are an elected official from minnesota or from columbia heights that s not eleven or broward county at first glance this seems like a simple test accept vatican ii fully and one is in full communion refuse it and one is outside or in imperfect communion fr mcteigue says the matter is less simple because many people who are treated as fully in communion with rome may in practice reject parts of vatican ii even openly reject he notes that john xxiii and paul vi described vatican ii as pastoral rather than dogmatic mcteigue contrasts that with cardinal fernández s claim that the documents of vatican ii nb cannot be corrected fr mct then identifies a tension how can a pastoral council be treated as requiring uncorrectable acceptance in order to establish full communion his central claim is that almost no one fully accepts all the documents of vatican ii he then moves to humanae vitae in 1968 which reaffirmed the church s rejection of artificial contraception and abortion he argues that humanae vitae did not introduce a new teaching but reiterated what vatican ii itself had already taught especially in gaudium et spes 51 gaudium et spes 51 condemns abortion as an unspeakable crime and also rejects artificial contraception therefore catholics who reject humanae vitae also reject part of vatican ii many theologians clergy bishops conferences and lay catholics effectively rejected humanae vitae after 1968 he cites the infamous winnipeg statement as an example of episcopal resistance or weakening of the force of humanae vitae the canadian bishops have never officially retracted the winnipeg statement mcteigue then appeals to survey data and demographic evidence arguing that many catholics contracept and abort at roughly the same rate as non catholics he also points to the steep decline in infant baptisms as circumstantial evidence that many catholic married couples are not living according to the church s teaching on openness to life from this he concludes that many catholics de facto reject humanae vitae and therefore de facto reject gaudium et spes 51 de facto certainly because 99 of them don t know and don t care about any of the v2 documents and don t know what hv said nb if full communion requires full acceptance of vatican ii then by that standard these catholics would also have to be judged as lacking full communion with rome father contrasts this with the treatment of catholics attached to traditional latin liturgy who are often pressured investigated restricted or told they must accept vatican ii fully there is clearly an unequal application traditionalists are scrutinized for vatican ii acceptance while catholics rejecting vatican ii s teaching on contraception and abortion are not treated with comparable urgency he argues that rome has not issued similar urgent mandates to bring contracepting and aborting catholics to full acceptance of vatican ii the houdini metaphor returns the church s current rhetoric about full communion vatican ii and selective enforcement creates an apparently impossible bind there is a serious inconsistency in how full communion with rome is being defined and enforced posted in

managerialism and abandonment posted on 6 may 2026 by fr john zuhlsdorf there is an important post at rorate today i ve written on this topic also but not for a while it is critical that as many people review this and if possible get it in front of the eyes of bishops here s an excerpt abandoned shepherds fear fatherhood and the crisis of episcopal support in the contemporary catholic priesthood what then is the problem the problem is that there exists in too many dioceses and religious institutes a significant gap between the framework the law provides and the lived reality that priests experience the law speaks of brotherhood and fatherhood many priests experience managerialism and abandonment this gap is not in most cases the product of malice it is the product of an institutional culture shaped by decades of crisis management above all by the catastrophe of clerical sexual abuse and its cover up which rightly demanded a radical change in how the church handles allegations against clergy the pendulum however has in many places swung so far that the presumption of innocence the duty of pastoral support and the obligation of canonical due process have been in practice if not in law subordinated to the imperatives of institutional self protection and public relations management my canonical work has brought me into close contact with the process by which priests are reduced to the lay state this is in canonical terms the most serious administrative legal and penal consequence that can befall a priest the loss of the clerical state the permanent dissolution in most cases of all bonds of clerical obligation and privilege it is in the theological sense a tragedy not necessarily a moral one there are cases in which such a reduction is entirely just and necessary but it remains always a tragedy because it represents the end of what was meant to be a permanent configuration to christ the priest i have participated in such processes in cases where the necessity was clear grave and persistent moral failure incapacity for ministry the abandonment of all priestly practice in these cases the reduction to the lay state carried out according to the norms of canon law and the procedural requirements of the dicastery for the clergy is an act of mercy for the priest himself and of justice for the people of god but i have also witnessed with increasing frequency and increasing pain the departure of priests who are not guilty of any grave moral failure young men some of them with the oil of their ordination barely dry who have quietly without fanfare sought and obtained laicisation not because they have sinned gravely but because they have become disillusioned and when i have had the opportunity to speak with them what i have heard again and again is a version of the same story i was not supported when i needed my bishop he was not there when i tried to do what i believed to be right i was left to face the consequences alone i cannot live like this for fifty years these are not men who lost their faith they are in many cases men of genuine piety and pastoral zeal they are men who were broken by institutional loneliness and by fear the power of fear now the fear i am describing is not the salutary fear of the lord the timor domini that is the beginning of wisdom it is not the legitimate prudential caution that a wise priest exercises in navigating the complexities of pastoral life it is something much more corrosive a pervasive anxiety about institutional consequences that colours the exercise of priestly ministry

featured man blessed with husband by james martin after fiducia supplicans irritating photo vatican city 6 may 2026 on tuesday the vatican published the final report of the synod on synodality s study group on controversial doctrinal pastoral and ethical questions prominently featuring two anonymous testimonies from openly homosexual men in same sex marriages the decision was immediately praised by fr james martin sj as a significant step forward in the church s relationship with the lgbtq community what neither the vatican nor fr martin has acknowledged however is that one of the testimonies

travertine i believe that these were caused from carts passing each other in the narrow street and slowly gouging it out think about it at the church and at huge refectory and hospice and hospital which the archconfraternity had hosted half a million pilgrims in the jubilee the archcon housed and fed them and took care of them in this complex and in other of their holdings around rome try to imagine the huge amount of food that had to be delivered newly cleaned bedding things to be removed that had been used the amount of people and carts coming and going hard to imagine the parish was

monnica a punic name monica was an inch away from becoming an alcoholic the story of her abusive husband has been told here before this is important at the end i ask you to consider the implications of the events recounted world history changing in an instant from serge lancel s augustine the best biography i know of the great bishop of hippo p 8 ff emphases mine before devoting himself entirely to mother church as he approached the age of forty augustine had had a concubine for about fifteen years of whom he had been very fond and who had given him a son then at the same time as a fleeting engagement a second short lived liaison but only one woman really counted in his life and that was his natural mother monica as we may guess from reading a few pages of book ix 8 of the confessions patricius augustine s father had taken a wife in thagaste from a milieu close to his own he had married monica as his would describe it in a phrase borrowed from virgil in the fullness of her nubility which means that he had not married a child a practice that was in any case more rare then in africa that in rome itself the couple had three children in what order we do not know a girl who remains anonymous to us but who once widowed would later become the superior of a community of nuns and two boys augustine and navigius whom we shall find with his brother in italy at cassiciacum then at ostia at their dying mother s bedside so monica had been born into a christian family and was as we would say today a practicing believer the relig...
