https://international.la-croix.com/news/letter-from-rome/the-first-gay-pope/15560?utm_source=NewsLetter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=29Jan22mailjet Firstly, just to clarify, this La Croix article’s title is grossly misleading for one thing as the two states mentioned in the title of this Letter from Rome by Robert Mickens are completely irreconcilable, that of Francis being Pope as well as “gay”. The latter assertion is frankly none other than a sensationalistic catch-cry…
How Quickly Things Change! The Rising Tide of Unexpected Things & Pope Leo XIII’s Vision
We are in the throes of it now! I never thought we would see the results of Pope Leo XIII's vision* of the Great Apostasy come into tangible reality on so many levels so soon. Neither was I expecting our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis, to turn his back on his own compassionate brilliance in…
‘Pets Instead of Children Diminishes Us’: Pope Francis or Fake News?
My Commentary on a Rumoured Headline from Aleteia: https://u24251644.ct.sendgrid.net/ss/c/0CDP-DnV2hfBml920apdXlpYrOHOCzsbibT_UxpQSTHzXN0X0BmhnV8_9RXv7e5Wkgv1ScOAsegRvupsm_3o9ruiQVNjE75-VsIQlsnkwI32iisWE4cPSbqafe4ofUuQOoiVkp7uBJ2okG759VbpwuFtnYqbdWMty_wIqi_75HJ3T3Qs4AHDEUw72YMamCFd8fRncHV6KdLbnADwmyvZPlTDSc0LgpXU4pcffARWoS164jxltHBipIm1AZ0K-XKtWCE263fAzf-dpUIVSZ9OjA/3ii/lMNGFMyvTcmAiPeuMnmAUQ/h30/VXy74rmv_EAsKBRXY-qQSnty6YFUjDWO_T3n6g0kYR8 To think that Pope Francis, the author of Laudato Si could have even said such a terrible thing is plainly unthinkable! It for one thing contradicts the entire premise of his famous 2015 encyclical that pleads for the heart of humanity to be converted to a…
My Commentary on a Facebook Post that Unfairly Castigated the Official Opening Mass for the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia
https://www.facebook.com/groups/plenaryyouth/permalink/1216069592225845/ We live in an era where we have a great opportunity to learn of and practice the kind of humility and love St Mother Teresa of Calcutta exemplified during her earthly sojourn and actually, like our beloved Pope Francis, she was revolutionary when it came to promoting unity between different camps within the Church…
The Central Message Contained within Pope Francis’ Christmas Address to the Roman Curia
This post is essentially a commentary on Robert Mickens' article concerning the particular message given by the Holy Father to the Cardinals and Bishops stationed at the Vatican: https://international.la-croix.com/news/letter-from-rome/pope-gives-arrogant-vatican-aides-another-lump-of-coal-this-christmas/15419?utm_source=NewsLetter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=20211224_mailjet The "spiritual worldliness" that Pope Francis spoke of in his Christmas address to the College of Cardinals & Bishops is a reference to the Phariseeism that…

The Dilemma of “How To” in LBGTQ Ministry & Other Related Areas
My commentary on: https://international.la-croix.com/news/religion/pope-thanks-new-ways-ministry-for-work-with-lgbt-catholics/15338 The fact that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in 1999 prohibited the ministerial & pastoral engagement of the two founders of the New Ways Ministry, Sr Jeannine Gramick and Fr Robert Nugent on the basis that the CDF concurred the pastoral approach of this ministry's two founders…
The “Woke” Saga Continued…..

Vatican II and the Gradual Secularization of the Church
My Commentary on: https://international.la-croix.com/news/religion/reorganization-at-knights-of-columbus-founders-church-leads-to-hard-feelings/15120?utm_source=NewsLetter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=20211029_mailjet The "emegence of Vatican II" is currently none other than a trendy excuse used by those so-called 'conservatives' or 'trads' who, by advocating and conspiring with certain tenets of a modernist philosophical persuasion, have actually moved and are still moving peices on the checkerboard of Church politics thereby inducing secularization to…

https://archbishopgomez.org/blog/reflections-on-the-church-and-americas-new-religions Right now, confusion seems to abound as there is alot of misunderstanding being thrown about the place as concerns the themes of identity politics, intersectionality, critical race theory etc. Actually, to clear the air of confusion on this topic, all these whacky sounding terms are fairly straightforward when it comes down to their actual…
