Tossed to the lions, you can say.<br /><br />Wills used to be a syndicated columnist, maybe he still is. Though I can't recall any column in particular, I just seem to be left with the impression that he left a faint odor of relativism whenever he wrote. Wills strikes me as another liberal holier-than-the Pope liberal that is always telling the Pope and the Church where they, the Pope and the Magisterium are wrong. Such knowledge can only be of Holy Spirit, so he himself must have a Special Connection to God. At least to the Zeitgeist.<br /><br />Wow, Gaybriel really squealed like a monkey who had hi s banana taken away. You don't suppose HE is Garry Wills, do you?

What was that book he wrote on Catholicism about 25 years with his 1960s lefty trendy point of departure? Wasn't he the older, syndicated version of house Catholics like Maureen Dowd? He's gayer than you, Gaybriel! (I don't mean in the homosexual sense, but the usage of high school kids today: bizarre and lame at the same time.) He, like so many others, never had the intellectual honesty to leave the Church. You can stay, Gaybriel, if you promise to behave, do your lessons, and wash behind the ears. :)Barnumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-43353352011720316852015-03-30T20:38:55.379-07:002015-03-30T20:38:55.379-07:00As far as you can tell...

Ga...Here's a solid conversation piece, Tancred. Garry Wills, in a NYR piece, hits the nail on the head about the discordance in Catholic attitudes towards Pope Francis. It is relevant to many of those on this site who express deep resentment and hostility towards the Pope.<br /><br /><br />"At a recent I talk I gave about Pope Francis, a man asked me, “Why do more non-Catholics like the pope than Catholics do?” He was wrong, of course. A Pew poll two months ago found that 90 percent of Catholics like what the pope is doing—and the number is even higher (95 percent) among the most observant, Mass attending Catholics. The percentage of non-Catholics who view the pope favorably does not get above the 70s. <br /><br />Yet the question was understandable. There is a perception of great resistance to the pope in his own church. This is largely the product of noise. Extremists get more press coverage than blander types, and some Catholic bloggers have suggested that the pope is not truly Catholic. They are right to be in a panic. They are not used to having a pope who is a Christian."<br />Gabrielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-53124045052946293002015-03-28T22:12:32.120-07:002015-03-28T22:12:32.120-07:00I've got my own problems with Loverde, but he ...I've got my own problems with Loverde, but he actually got better over time....I think the immensity of responsibility hit him.

We're not far off of a francis appointment here in the Arlington diocese of Virginia, as Bp. Loverde hits 75 this year. I'm trembling in my shoes at the thought of what francis unleashed here will do. This is still a great bastion of orthodoxy and beautiful liturgy (a TLM within 5 miles of nearly any point on any given Sunday).
