MGB:_The Pope is not Catholic enough is an old line. What the trad converts are saying is they were sure that the Church will never change and is somehow protected from error. The opposite is true. The Church has the Holy Spirit, which will prompt it to change when doing so is essential to the survival of the Church. Stubbornness about contraception and gays are not eternal values.
The stories of their latest success have them so entertained. The poverty of Francis is a fascination for its oddity. In the US, we worship success and think executive ability translates to political ability. I suspect that myth has now been destroyed. No more billionaire candidates.
Annett’s article follows the Outlook piece perfectly. I especially love where he calls the Trumpists in the Church relativists for their incipient fascism.
Chaput is right to be gloomy. He is one of the relativists. The closest I will come to reading his book is MSW’s review.
Broglio is happy for any bone that lets him join the culture war. Seeing tweet as truth is sad.
