Thus says the LORD of hosts:

In those days ten people from nations of every language will take hold, yes, will take hold of the cloak of every Judahite and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

If the superior is wrong, they will be judged for that. It is not for us to second guess a superior unless it is clearly contrary to the moral law. It's absurd to think "don't kill people" is contrary to the moral law.

Reading Faustina's diary, she mentions Jesus told her to ask to wear a hairshirt, and her superior forbade her. And Jesus then told her holy obedience is the penance he desires.

Neither Leo nor Francis have said the death penalty is intrinsically evil. They have said killing people is bad, and we should not do it. That indeed accords with the fundamental truth "you shall not kill." Even in the most pro-execution societies, there is a sober acknowledgment of the finality

I'm struck by how contemporary Catholicism is stricken by a resistance to obedience. You are not being obedient to the Church of yesteryear if you are not obedient to the Church today. If the pope today says the death penalty should not be pursued, you have no recourse to popes past

Idk where they're getting their marching orders from though, but I've heard this from parishioners who've told me not to focus on what they consider too political (like posting, without comment, a bishop saying that a concentration camp is bad)

Fr Chase 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁 @kalanthropos.bsky.social · 12h

Why on earth would the Church write about a human right to free practice of religion in the 20th century?

Fr Chase 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁 @kalanthropos.bsky.social · 12h

Fair enough. But my point is, religious liberty is not something novel. Forced conversion has been condemned (though I'm sure tacitly tolerated here and there). I know the sedes like to say Nostra Aetate is where the indefectibility of the Church failed, mostly because they don't see the problem

There are papal bulls from east back denouncing forced conversion of Jews, there is a visible throughline of religious liberty in the teaching tradition of the Church. But what Gregory is repudiating is the foundation in indifferentism, that there is no one Truth all men must seek.

The difference is in first principles. If your first principle is indifferentism, then religious liberty is bad. But if you start from "there is religious truth, we can know it, and we have a duty to seek it, then religious freedom is necessary.

"just focus on the church"

Do they know what catholic means?

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
