Links: Moral relativism after Capitol coup, liturgical law and a rogue priest
The mob violence in Washington was not different from last summer. In both cases, it was the Proud Boys, et al, lighting the fires. The problem is not moral relativism, it is false equivalency. Without false equivalency, EWTN and the Pro-Life Activities Committee at the USCCB could not exist. Nor Fr. Z.
It is amazing how low a mob can do when they expect a pardon. Trump has the last laugh, if he cannot get a pardon, they won't either. Earth to rioters, you really became terrorists that day. It was up to you to stop yourselves - not for us to stop you.
Francis is, like with Amoris, simply giving sanction to what has been going on in well run parishes (and confessionals) for decades. I once heard a pastor in a homily say he would not let girls serve on the Altar because it would instill the desire for priesthood. He is correct. That is kind of the point.
My mother became a Catholic for the incense and stayed to pray, even after the Latin went away.
A judge stopped the execution of the woman in question. It is up to Biden to stop the procedures keeping those on death row from getting their due process. It is even more urgent to do so than making sure Trump will never serve anything but time.
Mom left the GOP because she thought nominating an idiot to be VP was a bridge too far. Would that everyone else had followed her example in 2016.
