Christ was “flirting”: strange language at Leo XIV’s meeting on Amoris laetitia. At the Vatican event marking 10 years of Amoris Laetitia, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., presented a fellow Dominican’s reading of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman: “In a somewhat provocative way, but I think it is a useful provocation, he calls the first stage ‘flirt.’” “A conversation between a woman and a man who are both alone.” As Jesus gradually transforms the conversation, Alford says “the ambiguity persists.” Later, after Christ confronts the woman about her five husbands and the man she is currently with, Sr. Alford says she realizes: “This man is not just flirting.”
At the Vatican’s Amoris Laetitia anniversary event, Sr. Helen Alford, O.P., approvingly presented a fellow Dominican’s “provocative” description of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as beginning with a “flirt” — adding that “the ambiguity persists” before Christ confronts her with the truth.
Blasphemy, heresy amd apostasy is the new and beautiful thing about the synodal path, and THAT'S what they want (according to Leo), in every church around the world.
Leo XIV outlines the purpose of this Synodal meeting discussing Amoris laetitia: “The Church has spent these 10 years receiving Amoris Letitia and walking with families in very different circumstances. We too bring stories of what God has done among us. Their stories gathered along the path of mission, stories of conversion, of unexpected fruit, and of the relationships God has woven within families, is our communities have sought to accompany them. Together with the difficulties we have faced, the questions that have emerged, and what we have learned along the way, they give us confidence as we begin our work together. Let us place them before the Lord, share them with one another. Seeking to recognise what God has been doing among us, and where His spirit is leading the Church today.”
If it is not Charity, it does not belong to Jesus: 1 John 4:8; Whoever does not love has not known God, because God is Love. Ezekiel 18:32; “I take no pleasure in the death of ANYONE, no matter who they are,” declares the Lord God. “Repent and live.” 1) The Gravity of failing to correct. a) Ezekiel 3:18-19; When I say to the wicked, “You will die,” if you do not warn him—if you do not speak up to warn the wicked to turn from his wicked ways so that he may live—he, the wicked one, will die for his own sin, but I will hold you accountable for his blood. If, on the other hand, you warn the wicked person and he does not turn from his wickedness and his evil ways, he will die for his own sin, but you will have saved your own life. b) Hosea 4:6; My people perish for lack of knowledge. 2. The correct attitude is to DENOUNCE the sin of the people, as the Prophets did, and to rebuke them as Saint Michael the Archangel did, without passing slanderous judgment or deciding the final destiny of souls. …Ossotina
Jeśli nie jest to miłość bliźniego, nie pochodzi od Jezusa: 1 List św. Jana 4:8; Kto nie miłuje, nie poznał Boga, ponieważ Bóg jest miłością. Ezechiel 18:32; „Nie mam upodobania w śmierci nikogo, bez względu na to, kim jest” – mówi Pan Bóg. „Nawróćcie się i żyjcie”. 1) Powaga zaniedbania napomnienia. a) Ezechiel 3:18-19; Gdy powiem bezbożnemu: „Umrzesz”, a ty go nie ostrzeżesz – jeśli nie zabierzesz głosu, by ostrzec bezbożnego, aby odwrócił się od swoich bezbożnych dróg, aby mógł żyć – on, ten bezbożny, umrze za swój grzech, ale ciebie pociągnę do odpowiedzialności za jego krew. Jeśli natomiast ostrzeżesz bezbożnego, a on nie odwróci się od swojej niegodziwości i złych dróg, umrze za swój grzech, ale ty ocalisz swoje życie. b) Ozeasz 4:6; Mój lud ginie z powodu braku wiedzy. 2. Właściwą postawą jest POTĘPIANIE grzechu ludzi, tak jak czynili to prorocy, oraz upominanie ich, tak jak uczynił to święty Michał Archanioł, bez wydawania oszczerczych wyroków ani rozstrzygania o ostatecznym …Ossotina
The Catholic Church must find new ways to be close to families, even when they encounter problems. That is what Pope Leo XIV said on Wednesday during an international meeting in the Vatican.
Leo XIV on Amoris Laetitia: “In many contexts, a growing distance has emerged between the way sex and intimacy are experienced and the Christian vision of marriage.” “And whether we can recognize the work of grace even in situations marked by limitations, wounds, and apparent failure.”
Bishops: this is the Proven Solution Editor’s note: under the new pontificate of Pope Leo, we will publish this monthly reminder of the proven, time-tested method to end heresy and the responsibility of every bishop for this, the “greatest act of charity.” onepeterfive | Back in 2023, all orthodox Catholics of good will heard the news of His Excellency, Bishop Paprocki’s condemnation of heresy in one of the most prominent American journals, First Things. This was ostensibly a condemnation of Cardinal McElroy’s brazen challenge to Catholic moral theology in two pieces (here and here) at America—a connection underlined by Bishop Paprocki’s quoting verbatim from the cardinal’s first article. Nevertheless, His Excellency did say shortly thereafter (on Raymond Arroyo) that he did not want to name names, but had European cardinals also in mind. Masculine Courage Faithful Catholics compare today’s bishops with the saintly bishops of old and they find the former woefully lacking in manly …Ossotina
Suicide of a priest: Bernard Card, 73, parish priest of Sainte-Chantal Church in Dijon, France, has committed suicide (pictured left). The Diocese of Dijon announced his “tragic death,” which occurred during the night of October 4–5 at the Sainte-Chantal presbytery. Archbishop Antoine Hérouard (pictured right) described the suicide as “completely unexpected and difficult to understand.” According to reports citing his message to diocesan clergy, Rev. Card had recently been tired and had previously been deeply affected by the suicide of his brother. Ordained in 1981, Rev. Card served the Diocese of Dijon for more than four decades and had been parish priest of Sainte-Chantal since 2019. Despite the suicide, he will be buried at Sainte-Chantal on October 13. His death comes less than two years after another priest of the Diocese of Dijon, Rev. Claude-Marie Millet, also committed suicide. #newsAywayqmkjl
"Mostly conservative Catholics said that it had sown confusion among the faithful about the church’s teaching on the indissolubility of marriage. Some even accused Francis of heresy."
“If there’s a bad Novus Ordo Mass, you can’t improve those priests, I’m afraid. So just go anywhere else,” Dutch Auxiliary Bishop Robert Mutsaerts told LifeSite. “I used to think, ‘Support your own parish.’ I’m not saying that anymore … because you might lose your faith there. Go somewhere where you think, ‘This is right, this is authentic, this is true.’” And especially for families: “If you have children or youngsters, go where they’ll meet other young people … at places where they find the sacred, where the liturgy is in order. You need some encouragement. You don’t get it if you’re 18 and all the rest are 80.”
Lo facciamo abitualmente, mia moglie e io, da anni. In particolare la "gestione sanitaria/globalistica COVID" ci ha spinti fortemente a "Qualcosa di pulito e di normale". Spesso trovato - Deo gratias !!
Pope Leo XIV calls on the Church to gather the “fruits” of 10 years of Amoris Laetitia — saying they should nourish the whole Church and help local Churches “recognize new paths.”
Sometimes it helps to step back and take in the full context. These prelates are sitting, quite literally, in the mouth of a serpentine building, contemplating the fruits of having spent the past ten years telling Catholics that they may receive the Eucharist while divorced and remarried. Is the symbolism is difficult to see?
Vendée: About 10 minors, the oldest just 14, are implicated in the profanation of Saint-Hilaire church in Soullans. They filmed themselves inside, some climbing on the altar, while playing rap referencing Mohamed Merah, Salah Abdeslam and the Bataclan. Objects were overturned and pews showed burn marks. Their parents brought the children to the gendarmerie. Prosecutors opened an investigation for glorifying terrorism. The town filed a complaint. The church is closed pending a Eucharist of reparation on October 12.
Vendée : après la profanation de l’église Saint-Hilaire, les parents ont eux-mêmes conduit leurs enfants à la gendarmerie
Io direi -avendo conosciuto direttamente Parigi per anni, 35 anni fa circa- : il Francese medio considera ovvia la leadership mondiale del Materialismo massonico. Però non vive nel culto della Triade Lib/Egal/Frat , né nel culto dei "Grandi Uomini". Pensa che Cristo abbia dato tanto alla Francia, ma sia rimasto "vincolato a un Sistema ormai superato". ----------- Si tratta, se vogliamo, di un Radicalismo di massa (come quello di cui parlava A. Del Noce per il futuro prossimo dell'Italia). A cui la Chiesa NON SI OPPONE NE' si è opposta. ----------- Ben diversa, per grazia di Dio, l'impostazione culturale e spirituale di André Frossard, (1915-1995), di cui leggevo con gioia i brevi articoli di giornale Cavalier seul. "... His grandmother was Jewish, his mother a Lutheran Protestant, his father, Ludovic-Oscar Frossard, an official atheist who was first secretary of the Communist Party and later a socialist minister."
