Great post, Fr. Z!
The descent into chaos is as if on ice.
Well, this post is just the “icing” on the cake!
I predict there will be a “faceoff” in the future after the Amazon synod.
What we don’t want is two-line passes, any passes across the red line.
Or anyone ending up in the Sin Bin.
Does this mean that Francis is “rigid” because he is in favor of rules?
All Rules are equal, but some Rules are more equal than others.
I am surprised. I would have thought the pope’s interest would be in curling. Brushing aside things, box of rocks and all.
What we all really want to know is how much time Zuhlsdorf spent in the “Sin Bin”. Or would it be, perchance, that it was here that he heard his first confession?
“Bless, me, Zuhlie, for I have sinned. I elbowed you intentionally.”
“You have already done your penance, my son … a 5 minute major. And I have done my own, a 2 minute minor for a retaliatory slash. Go, and elbow no more.”
The synod coincides with the rugby world cup, which raises interesting parallels. I would just remind the synod fathers that a conversion is worth two points.
A referee should make a call on whether acardnal’s comments are major or minor punalties.
A joke my father never tired of: “I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out.”
The irony is jaw dropping.
What can be said of such which betrays a total absence of self-awareness?
I read somewhere that Michael Davies had remarked once that from time to time Catholics needed to stop worrying about the crisis in the church and enjoy the rugby. (Or words to that effect.) For the Welsh, whose team ranks second in the world, and for us Kiwis (first) it’s usually rugby.
So what’s your bet when the USA (13th) meet Argentina (10th) in the Rugby World Cup on the 9th of October, three days into the Synod? I note that England (3rd) meet Argentina on the eve of the synod, so if Francis is in a bad mood as he opens the Synod, we’ll know why.
