Kath.net Gives Softball Interview to the Vienese Cardinal

For a long time the friendship between 'kath.net' and the Viennese Schism-Cardinal has grown cold. Now, however, the Old Liberal Prelate has decided to give even that website an interview. Is it a coincidence?

(kreuz.net, Wien) The media's highly praised theological pamphlet from the beginningo of February has "found relatively little attention in the media".

The Viennese schism-Cardinal Christoph Schönborn said this for the commerce website, 'kath.net'.

Expectedly, the Old Liberal Cardinal Schönborn criticized the form rather than the content of the pamphlet.

The "dramatic ton" wasn't appealing -- he explained.

Toothless Critique


Otherwise, the underwear-Reformers get a half-canonization from the Old Liberal Cardinal.

He applies to them a supposed "honorable concer for the future of the Church", a "good will" and even "serious intentions".

His toothless critique resembles that of a protestantic preacher's delivery.

This was discussed at a deans meeting, if the Catholics would not see that the desired reforms of the protestants have long since transpired: "Has it gone appreciably better for uS?"

Cardinal Schönborn's vague criticism proceeded further that the "supernatural dimension" -- supposedly the Cardinal meant God with that -- which is hardly discussed in the pamphlet.

As sources of renewal he views the Marian apparition sites like Lourdes and Fatima as well as -- the one he values above all the rest -- "surely also" the false apparition site of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegowina.

Cardinal Schönborn views the pamphlet then as "very cleric-centered".

The teaching of the priesthood of the faithful of all baptized came hardly into play.

Too many balloons at Mass?


Cardinal Schönborn cautiously criticized the post-conciliar liturgical reform.

One must proceed very warily with liturgical reforms -- he said philosophically:

"The errors of the liturgical reform after the Council was probably above all its great haste."

The question, as his own pancake bread discomasses with balloones, text and a heavily cobbled Mass book by Paul VI. can be tied to him, was not put to him by the ace reporter at 'kath.net'.

More interestingly the Cardinal gave the censur-website his Interview two weeks after 'kath.net' had downplayed the Austrian religion book scandal.
