At his yearly Christmas Greeting to the Roman Curia yesterday, Pope Francis went full force in support of "processes," "change" as the paradigm of his papacy. At the end of the half-hour presentation, which sounded like the 1960's songs of the Free-Sex-Flower-Children he warned, as usual, against "rigidity" saying that rigidity is an indication of an underlying "imbalance." In other words, to be "rigid" is to be crazy.
It is not clear how to reconcile this model of change with the constancy in moral life and in sound doctrine required by the living God Jesus Christ, and by Canon Law, mandated for the ministers of the Gospel.
Canon 521.2 of the Code of Canon Law says of the man fit for pastor...
He is...to be outstanding in sound doctrine and uprightness of character, endowed with zeal for souls and other virtues, and possessed of those qualities which by universal law are required for the care of the parish in question.
The Appointment and Tolerance of Bad Pastors is Contrary to the Law of the Church
In typical Argentine fashion the Holy Father is a half-century behind the times. The Argentinians today embrace Freudianism and Marxism as if they were new, apparently unaware that those ideologies have been tried and rejected as false by the rest of the world and that one of the bitter legacies of that era has been the widespread perversion of the world with all of its attendant scandals, especially homosexualism, reminiscent of the Church scandals of the 10th and 11th centuries.
