It's not just blacks in Africa that have negative feelings about the queers, it's common in most black societies. Foe example, in Jamaica, there are popular songs that talk about killing the gay boys. Can you imagine that in the US? And one island in the same area actually banned a gay cruise ship from docking in one of their harbors! I hope his foolish remarks send him into a well deserved obscurity for what's left of his life.Steve Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365458906085087105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-12932214319416362782014-10-16T22:40:50.238-04:002014-10-16T22:40:50.238-04:00Anon,

We've experienced the shrivel under Cardinal O'Malley. It wasnt a complete fold, but close to it.<br /><br />We have a lot of work ahead of us, for sure.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-1569745142103194162014-10-16T22:16:33.497-04:002014-10-16T22:16:33.497-04:00The modernist Commonweal rag is defending Kardinal...The modernist Commonweal rag is defending Kardinal Kasper's komments:<br /><br />No, Cardinal Kasper is not a racist. (relevant excerpts); by Grant Gallicho <br /><br />Those comments ... do little more than state the obvious truth that a one-size-fits-all pastoral approach doesn't work in a global church.<br /><br />Of course, there is nothing condescending, or xenophobic, or discriminatory, or--and let's just use the word that the most strident critics want us to think of--racist about Kasper's remarks. Look at what he said: Africa is not like the West when it comes to homosexuality ... Yes, he said "you can't speak about this with Africans and people from Muslim countries." But he didn't mean that it's a waste of time, or they're impossible ... [He has] a kind of verbal tic when he [is] trying to describe a difficult situation: "It is not possible."<br /><br />But Pentin wants more. So he presses, "They're not listened to?" And Kasper says, "Yes, in Africa, of course"--then Pentin fills in--"where it's a taboo." Again, are we supposed to be shocked to see a Western European cardinal explaining that in Africa homosexuality is a taboo subject?<br /><br />More of this nonsense at https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog/no-cardinal-kasper-not-racist-updated<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-11366860468784954132014-10-16T20:38:12.746-04:002014-10-16T20:38:12.746-04:00Dear Tenth Crusade Mum, I just want to say that yo...Dear Tenth Crusade Mum, I just want to say that your reporting on this Synod is brilliant.<br /><br />"Priests will not bother to contradict the Pope's contradictions of Church teaching. The Pope has robbed them of any efficacy."<br />+<br />[Include parents struggle to pass on the fait as discussed.]<br /><br />Re the priests, I can't believe they'll just chuck it all in. It's obvious the 'Relatio' is a pack of lies, how could they go against the Magisterium, catechism and Gospel? I suspect some nasty priests will, but I can't believe it of the majority.<br /><br />Parents will just have to teach their kids the truth from the beginning. There's this YouTube where Bishop Richard Williamson catechises on bringing children up in the faith (it's very good, in my opinion). It's a long time since I watched it, but I think he says, that kids should be brought up with the 'mind of the Church'. Well, I hope this revolution of Bishops against the Relatio sorts things out pretty quick.Damask Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903564104733536123noreply@blogger.com
