Thank you for sharing this interview. God bless Fr. Murray and his clear explanations. In a world that is seemingly on fire, it’s great to hear precise and simple explanations from those two.
Thank you…thank you…thank you for posting this Father and directing us to listen to Fr. Murray. There needs to be so many more commentaries like this on a national, and international level to diminish the damage.
Father Murray and Mr. Royal are so, so solid and you can see the distress in their faces as they discuss AL. Their superb commentaries give us a lot to think about and maybe even some … hope?
Many thanks Father for this reference to a brilliant discussion. I have started reading AL seriously and have got as far as paragraph 3 which talks about inculturation and it puzzled me. It was interesting that Fr Murray and Mr Royle picked up the same point. The idea of inculturation seems to have taken a completely different meaning from what was originally meant. Whereas previously one thought of say statues in a church being influenced by local culture it now seems that inculturation can mean that basic doctrine can be re-interpreted to conform to local culture. Cardinal Napier made the point at the time of the 2014 session of the Synod that if in certain parts of Europe serial polygamy, ie. divorce and remarriage, was to be allowed because it was so common in the local culture why should not simultaneous polygamy be allowed in Africa where it was already common in the local culture.
Further footnote 351 talks about the ‘sacraments’. Hitherto this seems to some to be a reference to confession and communion. But why not the sacrament of marriage? Goodbye to indissolubility.
Fr Murray always has good , clear- thinking commentary. I started to transcribe what he said beginning at 20:00 and was hoping to do more but I had to leave for Mass. Anyhow. . . a snippet of his words:
If Flannery had been on the program, I suppose she would say something like –
“It seems to be a fact that you have to suffer as much from the Church as for it but if you believe in the divinity of Christ, you have to cherish the world at the same time that you struggle to endure it. ” – The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O’Connor.
Royal does a careful theological tango with LA. Father Murray is the inimitable Fred Astaire taking us through the difficult parts of LA.
