Catholic Church

By Edward Pentin, EWTN News - Cardinal Robert Sarah has said he is “hurt to see so many priests selling off Catholic doctrine and sowing division among the faithful,” and that seeking to “win media popularity at the price of truth is like doing the work of Judas.”… The prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments also said that those who “loudly announce change and rupture are false prophets” and are “not looking for the good of the flock” but are “mercenaries smuggled into the sheepfold.”

By Casey Chalk, Crisis Magazine - Dr. Eduardo Echeverria, professor of philosophy and systematic theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan… “I have now come to accept that Francis has contributed to the current crisis in the Church—doctrinal, moral, and ecclesial—due to the lack of clarity, ambiguity of his words and actions, one-sidedness in formulating issues, and a tendency for demeaning Christian doctrine and the moral law.”

By Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews - Fr. Murray believes that this is the “fulfillment of a dream” of liberals in the Church after Vatican II, “which was to abolish priestly celibacy.”… “Celibacy is connatural with the priesthood,” Murray argued… “Jesus Christ was not married. And from the ancient times in the Church, married men who were ordained were asked to live (in continence), and then the Church went to ordaining just celibate males.”
