I can't believe this "survey" crap. He's not even
pretending to be "vicar"; he thinks we all have a VOTE. I first saw it on Daily Kos:
[Frank] Surprises Again. (NOT recommended reading!!!)
Same-sex unions, mixed marriages, single-parent families and surrogate mothers are all mentioned in the prelude to a list of questions that get into the nitty-gritty of 21st century life:
• "What pastoral attention can be given to people who live in these types of [same-sex] union?"
• "In the case of unions of persons of the same sex who have adopted children, what can be done pastorally in light of transmitting the faith?"
• "Do [the divorced and remarried] feel marginalized or suffer from the impossibility of receiving the sacraments?"
• "In cases where non-practicing Catholics or declared non-believers request the celebration of marriage, describe how this pastoral challenge is dealt with."
The survey is the latest sign of Francis' willingness to engage ordinary Catholics and promote a less judgmental approach to hot-button social issues.
Really Frank? REALLY?! :cussing:
Marginalized? I bet the word "disenfranchised" is in there as well. I did a search "-Francis" (no Bergoglio items) on some of these keywords, and got this site, "Center for Humans and Nature" subtitled, "Expanding Our Natural and Civic Imagination", with this article:
Beyond the Social Contract of Consumption.
And I realized, 'Good God! It's Vatican 2!' (Not really, but that "being lulled to sleep" double-talk nature of both are the exact same.)
And that "social contract" site makes COMMUNISM look good. Gracious they seem to think you can sprinkle faerie dust on humans and trees and we'll have a happy utopia! (Didn't read too much; not good for the soul.)
Frank may have well
written that social contract article. Who knows; there's no Frankisms (encyclicals) out there to compare. But if it sounds like "retarded Wojtyla", I pretty much think, "Yeah, that's Frank talking." So I think that's Frank writing that "social contract" article. Frank must have a double life; an alias. (And I'm not shocked. In fact... eh, nevermind.)
This ...isht. —I didn't think the curse word; I said "Isht" in my mind :smoke-pot:
"Isht" is what I'm going to call V2 Modernist-speak from now on. It's non-sensical, has double-meanings, is "almost cursing"...
ISHT = modernist-speak=Bergoglio.
I think the ball's in Heaven's court now. We pray with Heaven and watch our backs.
