While I think that Ladislaus has some points, I also think that hitting Bishop Pivarunas on just being a nice guy without too much concern for dogma is misleading.
First off, I will state that I disagree with Bishop Pivarunas on EENS and BOD. However, I do think that his position has been taught through most of the 20th century in catechisms, etc. He is merely trying to uphold what he has learned. In addition, I think all of the other Sede and otherwise bishops believe the same thing. The CMRI is just more honest about it. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to see the contradiction in any of it. We can only pray for them.
Secondly, regarding NFP, it shouldn’t be considered in such a negative light IMO. We use breakthroughs in science all the time that allow for people to live longer e.g. dialysis, antibiotics, insulin etc. just to name a few of those from the 20th century. I don’t understand why we wouldn’t be able to use scientific knowledge for better regulation of birth, especially for those who may have extreme struggles and stress either with mental health issues or financial issues or physical issues. Yes, trust in God, but why not help yourself? I think Bishop Pivarunas is correct on this.
Finally, Bishop Pivarunas is a very nice person, his priests I’ve met are kind and helpful. He started and maintains a seminary, and some of his priests have weighed in on things like the vaccine that have been helpful and public. Jesus used fishermen, and figures like David to confound. I think we should pray for him and his priests to help them do the will of God.
