The Vatican II model of "openness" that the NCR (which is, after all, a VERY leftist publication) espouses...is not the solution.A Sinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083094677310915678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-8152493562374638612010-07-10T10:40:17.152-05:002010-07-10T10:40:17.152-05:00It's interesting that you excluded the hopeful...It's interesting that you excluded the hopeful VII comments of the original article in your transcription.<br /><br />I'd be wary of being critical just for the sake of critique. That the author chose to include a sign of hopeful light at the end of his article is for a reason -- and that just by itself proves that he is not merely out to lash at the bishops <i>avant garde</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-63390681051556608472010-07-09T15:50:53.726-05:002010-07-09T15:50:53.726-05:00I'd be all for a Schonborn papacy now.

Which is one of the things that does disturb me a bit about him: some of those things he seems to do merely to try to appease the sorts of groups that arrange those sorts of things, which in some ways is just as political and petty. And if that non-conformism is the result of his own politicking, maybe his other non-conformism and outspokenness likewise has a political origin rather than being truly out of moral conviction or fiber.A Sinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083094677310915678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-697493927471199062010-07-09T15:21:07.440-05:002010-07-09T15:21:07.440-05:00WDTPRS has is wrong.

There's no more time to choose up ideological sides when the church has made little or no progress in protecting chlidren and reforming itself into a morally credible organization. This renegade trad thinks that one of the true marks of a RT is placing aside liturgical concerns and joining up with "the other side" when it really matters.<br /><br />Yeah, I know Cdl. Schonborn's Masses are a bit whack. Still, if there's any papabile out there that's willing to call it like it is, it's him. Maybe he'll finally make the tough decisions that need to be made instead of the Vatican shell game. I can put up with a balloon and laser Mass if this guy can clean house. You know that he'll never get past the curial politics to become pope and clean up the muck. He might just be the ticket, though.sortacatholicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-24647414013788140722010-07-09T07:22:37.487-05:002010-07-09T07:22:37.487-05:00A good article.
