I'm trying to understand Pope Leo. Someone please help me out. The Vatican is "a permanent observer at the UN and takes part in debates" according to what I just read in the news online. The UN has done absolutely nothing for peace when people (mostly Christians) are getting slaughtered all around the world yet he has to give it some thought about joining Trump with his plan for peace, concerned that the UN may be upset about it. Sounds like some in the Vatican want to abide by the New World Order philosophy.
And another thing. The UN is probably the biggest distributor of contraceptives in the history of the world, Trump is getting rid of the funding for it yet he gets no credit from guys in red.
In the interview below Bishop Athanasius Schneider discusses the crisis in the Church after having had a personal meeting with His Holiness. The whole discussion is worthwhile. He (in part) critics the problem of the same-sex agenda by using the following analogy concerning same-sex couples. (The present argument takes the position that such blessing does not necessarily affirm the sinfulness of the relationship of the couple; it should rather be seen as blessing two individuals.) [beginning 19:30] The good bishop's response. "That would be like blessing a bicycle and declaring you had only blessed two wheels!"
I was surprised and very,very pleased that Pints with Aquinas did this interview. A great Sign of hope. Perhaps people are waking up? Thank God anyway.
Maybe already posted in another thread but I an encouraged by this appointment https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/v...ive-san-francisco-archbishop-vatican-tribunal
This is such a holy and blessed move on the part of Pope Leo. Thanks be to God! Plus, Archbishop Cordileone has been known to celebrate Mass in the extraordinary form.
If I was going along in a blizzard and found a rose growing I would be encouraged, taking it as a Sign of summer coming even in the Winter, in the snow. But I would still understand it was still the Winter. But one good thing about Pope Leo is that we don't seem to hear about him very much. I remember with Pope Frankie we heard about him pretty well every other day, especially his air plane interviews. With Pope Leo there is more blessed silence. So that is good. But at the same time he is carrying on all the horrendous goings on of Pope Frankie. Every single one. But at least he is doing these terrible things quietly. I suppose that is something.
