Benedict XVI is the Pope of Christian Unity.

Hmmm, I thought he was supposed to be the Pope of the Holy Catholic Church.

Brilliantly written piece by Fr. Z isn't it? He uses such lofty terms, such elegant and intelligent words! See:

<<<My old mentor, the late Msgr. Schuler, was calm guy, unruffled by most things. Even in the face of drastic challenges, he was cool.>>>

A calm "guy"? He was "cool"? Is he writing to appeal to teenagers?

<<<Everyone who knows him affirms that His Holiness is kind, and calm, and patient and sweet-tempered guy.>>>

The pope is a sweet tempered "guy"....oh, lord have mercy....

<<<And we know how Benedict works. He thinks through a problem patiently and then – BAM! – he moves.>>>

Yes, extraordinarily brilliant writing! Let me look up "BAM" in the dictionary...

<<<They have so much to contribute! But as much as I have sympathy for most of their concerns, sometimes they remind me of a bunch of brooding Batman villains. I long to say to them, “If you vex Benedict enough - BAM! You guys are going to learn what it means to be on the business end of schism.” >>>

An eloquent paragraph reflecting the elevated state of humankind in the modern era! Honestly...the best comparison he could give was "Batman villians"? Clearly Fr. Z is greatly influenced by television! Can anyone really take him seriously?

<<<Please, Society, please. Don’t blow this.>>>

Thank you for the sound advice, I am sure it won't be wasted on the ignorant.

Why is Fr. Z. pushing so hard for a deal?

What is the motivation for New Rome?

On another point, what would become of the SSPX if they made a deal and Card. Mueller (new head of CDF) becomes the next pope? The college of cardinals is 70 men and it may only take 15-19 votes to capture the papacy. I apologize for being so brisk about the election but with the last 5 popes, we do have to face the hard facts.

And the hardest fact of all is that Card. Mueller could very well be the next pope if he's an amiable guy who is well liked by his fellow cardinals and he would only require 15-19 votes to hold th majority because Card Z could vote for Card A while Card A votes for Card B and when the dust settles....

....it's the new pope, Card. Mueller who would probably be John Paul III or maybe even John XXIV - just musing on my part.

Then, with pope mueller - what would become of the SSPX then?

So, back to my very first question.... Why is this so important to Fr. Z????

To the three folks who thumbed down the original post:

By hitting thumbs down, you are not thumbing down the article (which I agree is completely absurd - hence my sarcastic title of the thread), you are thumbing down ME PERSONALLY.

If you thumbs down something I myself posted, my own thoughts, be my guest. But I'm just the messenger here. I think Fr. Z's post is ludicrous and posted it to display his ludicrosity for the entire board to see. It is Neo-Cath argument from authority/ Neo-Ultramontanism at its finest!

Stevus,
If you dont want to be thumbed down, than stop posting articles about priests and events of the Novus Ordo Church. This is a traditional Catholic forum, and most of us do not care what goes on in the Novus Church.
