A Dutch bishop has withdrawn his permission for an ecuмenical prayer service to mark “Pink Saturday.”Bishop Gerard de Korte of Hertogenbosch had originally given permission for the service to take place in the cathedral of St. John, with the proviso that nothing should be said or done that would contradict the position of the Catholic Church regarding ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity. However, after hearing protests from the faithful the bishop reversed his decision. The level of protests, Bishop de Korte said, indicated that “the good relations within the religious community is at stake.”The “Pink Saturday” prayers service will be held on June 22 at a nearby Protestant church.http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=31885
What do you credit this clown with resisting? This make-believe-bishop is hardly a profile in courage. Rather than citing coming to his senses as the reason for backing out of Fag Day festivities, he says "the good relations within the religious community is at stake.” So he is doing the right thing, but hardly for the right reason. As far as resistance, he doesn't have the backbone to resist squat. Sounds like he should be called a RESISTED person (not bishop if he was concecrated via the bastardized Montini rite--though most people are sticking their heads in the sand to cope with what that means as to Bergoglio question) because he was so firmly resisted that had to abandon his liberal initiatives.
Many in the Lutheran Church now say, “We have come to an agreement, now we must celebrate the Eucharist together.” Whereas we have to say “No, we haven’t come so far in our mutual dialogue,” and, of course, this will create a kind of frustration among many of the Lutherans that we cannot possibly celebrate together.http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=32005
Cardinal Anders Arborelius of Stockholm is not ready to advocate the sharing of Communion between Catholics and Lutherans.The new Swedish cardinal—the first-ever member of the College of Cardinals from the predominantly Lutheran country—spoke about the differences between Catholic and Lutheran understandings of the Eucharist in an interview with John Allen of Crux. He observed that “in the Lutheran Church, there are different visions on the Eucharist. Some members are very close to us,... while others have a very different outlook.”Cardinal Arborelius said:I say if you want to receive communion in the Catholic Church you should become Catholic.8) 8) 8)
What does their "visions on the Eucharist" have to do with anything? "I say if you want to receive communion in the Catholic Church you should become Catholic." Why is anything else even being discussed?
