Links for 08/27/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The Atlantic piece accuses the Pope of Machiavellian humility. I hope this is not true. Humility is a charism. It comes from loving yourself exactly as you are and as you are not. Of course, maybe the effort is not fake in that case.
Thank you MSW for giving me enough to not have to read Weigel myself. I am not sure what universe or time George inhabits, but the all-in-Catholicism will be all about reform, forgiveness and especially anti-capitalism. Is he planning on going to Purgatory or worse?
Archbishop Alexander must have a conservative flock to sing such a depraved tune. The Cathechism reflects the spiritually cowardly language of Ratzinger, who thought that gays and lesbians could not possibly be given any quarter by the Church or God would would punish us all. In reality, there is no natural order beyond what we invent. Call it Catholic Karma. Forgiveness is the only Karma and in homosexuality, provided it is as monogamous as heterosexuality, there is no sin to forgive. The only sin is intolerance here and may God have mercy on this Archbishop's soul.
