And, frankly, all this rigamarole would end if the Holy Father would simply act...if he would just, for once, clamp down in a spectacular way on these dissidents.<br /><br />And "Anonymous Dan" (not me, by the way) does speak the truth, even if his phrasing is a bit on the earthy side!Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-30047961751517861362011-07-26T10:26:20.608-07:002011-07-26T10:26:20.608-07:00THIS IS BULLSHIT!

By what stretch of the imagination does Claudia Bucker write such a statement? Does she imagine that the Holy Father cannot pick up his telephone?<br /><br />No, sorry. This won't do anymore. This "the Pope is a prisoner in the Vatican" cliche doesn't wash these days. When the Holy Father can excommunicate a bogus Chinese Bishop, when he can "unexcommunicate" the St Pius X Bishops, when he can discipline priests, nuns and Bishops, then he can instruct the clowns at Loreto to stop behaving like petulant teenagers.<br /><br />The only thing required is the will of the Pope to enforce his own motu proprio. If he keeps sending signals that any creepy Bishop in the world can continue suppressing the ancient rite then his much-vaunted Summorum Pontificam will be a dead letter.<br /><br />The Pope is "in no position", Claudia?<br /><br />Baloney.Dannoreply@blogger.com
