He was living in Rome as a retired Bishop helping out in the Curia when he was asked by several young seminarians to take them under his wing. The Holy Ghost fathers are still going.<br />JBJBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-24106193985318377852014-05-29T23:19:16.747+01:002014-05-29T23:19:16.747+01:00Thank you, Jacobi.

My first reaction on hearing that “who am...Father,<br /><br />My first reaction on hearing that “who am I to judge” statement is that it could hardly have been worse and it will be quoted back at us by our enemies a hundred years hence. A year has passed and there is no cause to change that view.<br /><br />The Holy Father has a problem with how he communicates. We have heard the expression” a riddle within an enigma” or whatever, applied to him. I would say that he tries to be all things to all men and ends up puzzling everyone.<br /><br />As for the FFI, both St Pius V and Benedict XVI confirmed the Vetus Ordo (Ongoing Mass) as the standard mass of the Church “in perpetuity” although clearly other forms such as the Novus Ordo can be permitted. That is all that has to be said.<br /><br />As for the Synod it is, as was Vat II unnecessary. And unnecessary things often cause trouble.<br /><br />All that is needed is a statement from the Holy Father to the Church that marriage is indissoluble, the family is the basis of Christian life, and that divorce, remarriage and receiving Holy Communion, constitute a mortal sin.<br />Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-24116470255365248272014-05-28T13:15:04.764+01:002014-05-28T13:15:04.764+01:00Thank you, Sonia.

If that happens, Rome will only have itself to blame. Tradition is to be preserved, protected and fostered, not attacked and outlawed. I think this is going over the heads of many who, without realising it, do seem to see Vatican II as a new beginning, which it cannot be.<br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-46554712243534169122014-05-28T13:11:30.552+01:002014-05-28T13:11:30.552+01:00Thanks, BJ.

It would be a new kind of ultramontanism, I think. <br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-33187099793335667882014-05-28T13:09:07.114+01:002014-05-28T13:09:07.114+01:00Thank you Justin.

His reputation will be sullied if he does not because the measures taken seem draconian to many.<br />God Bless.Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-50800899940675804032014-05-28T13:04:40.410+01:002014-05-28T13:04:40.410+01:00"After all, it was a very tiny minority who w..."After all, it was a very tiny minority who were unhappy in the FFI, and their proper response ought to have been to seek release from the FFI and admission to another Order, and Rome should have told them so. Simply put, the Friars ought not to have set out to destroy that which they no longer loved:"<br /><br />Strange that the above reminds me of Lefebvre when he was Superior General of the Holy Ghost Fathers and his unhappiness with radical reforms. The twist though is that his departure destroyed the order. Not the other way around. All the same, Father, there is something about the intervention with FFI that reminds me of the early days of SSPX. <br /><br />God bless<br />SoniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-6275296623011753572014-05-28T09:21:42.289+01:002014-05-28T09:21:42.289+01:00Father, the destruction is plain for all to see, a...Father, the destruction is plain for all to see, and Francis is permitting it. He may have no one to answer to in this word, but he will in the next. If our Bishops and priests want to blindly follow him because he has earthly popularity, then they will face the same judge whose truth does not change, no matter what the Pope and Bishops think or desire.<br />BJBJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-59586553666097374412014-05-28T02:19:06.035+01:002014-05-28T02:19:06.035+01:00I refuse to believe Pope Francis is unaware of the...I refuse to believe Pope Francis is unaware of the plight of the FFI and think it's legitimate to be a bit cynical about what's going on considering the rejection and wreckovation of Catholicism over the last 50 years or so at the hands of the Popes and bishops. Francis has the power to save the FFI but thus far he does nothing. The papally led wreckovation of Tradition for the last 50 plus years has many of us radically skeptical.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062221333467776105noreply@blogger.com
