Breathtaking words


By a defender and friend of the current Bishop of Rome:

Pope Francis breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants, because he is "free from disordered attachments." Our Church has indeed entered a new phase: with the advent of this first Jesuit pope, it is openly ruled by an individual rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture.

I might note that the openly is quite honest. This is not hidden, but celebrated!

Time to teach those terrified in the Roman communion to sing with us:

The haughty spirits, Lord, restrain
Who o'er Thy Church with might would reign
And always set forth something new
Devised to change Thy doctrine true. TLH 292:6

Lord, have mercy!  (HT: Dr. Tighe)
