By Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., The Catholic Thing, May 21, 2024
Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, a prolific writer and one of the most prominent living theologians, is a former member of the Vatican’s International Theological Commission. His newest book is the third volume of Jesus Becoming Jesus: A Theological Interpretation of the Gospel of John: The Book of Glory and the Passion and Resurrection Narratives.
Note: As Fr. Weinandy rightly points out today, Pope Francis misunderstands the Church in the United States, particularly what conservative Catholics here are and do. Unlike the dead clinging to dogmas that the pope believes exists on these shorts among many bishops, priests, and laity, our adherence to the full tradition of the Faith is quite dynamic, probably more dynamic — for all the challenges — than any place on earth outside Africa. Conveying a better understanding of how the Church can be both faithful and fruitful is one of our central missions at ‘The Catholic Thing’, not least to our many readers in Rome. Please, help us in that work and in addressing the many other things our time demands. Click the button. Keep TCT coming to you, and the world, every morning for a long time to come. — Robert Royal
