What else to expect from him?
The Focolare Movement is an international organization that promotes the ideals of unity and universal brotherhood…
Uncle Teddy will likely get one first.
It’s been my consistent experience that whenever any organization purports to embrace the nebulous values of “diversity”, “inclusion”, or “equality”, or any similar variant such as “fraternity”, what they really mean is that they embrace their opposites. Occasionally, the mask slips when they call for things like “social renewal” without specifying what should follow the upheaval that would entail. Typically, it’s simply a world full of people in their own image, and purged of everyone else.
You and me both. I’m not holding my breath.
Can we dare hope this story is the Vatican’s attempt at a 1 April prank?
Maybe he’s have Seder Dinner with Cardinal McCarick?
Aug. 1 would be appropriate. imho
Maybe it’s just my imagination but I am detecting more and more fear in the actions of PF. He’s afraid of what he’s started I suspect.
He did do chemistry so he’ll know all about entropy and Boyles Law.
Let’s look on the bright side. At least Pope Francis wasn’t making a very public spectacle of washing the feet of a convicted murderer lesbian transsexual Muslim African. I’ll mark that down as a win.
Since a disgraced former cardinal merits such an important feast, I assume the Holy Father will be spending Easter with Cardinal Burke!
I’m old enough to remember when the Bishop of Rome said Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper in St. Peter’s Basilica and the corrupt cardinals came to him.
Call me nostalgic.
And poor holy Cardinal Zen shakes his head and with humility accepts (but correctly disagrees) with what has happened to him and the true Chinese Catholics!!!
I had wanted to be charitable about it and assume that 1) maybe it’s another sciatica attack 2)maybe he isn’t feeling well or 3) well, at least he did the Chrism Mass. But all that was before I knew he’d gone to do a private Mass with Becciu. On a day like this? The day Eucharist and priesthood were instituted? On a day when it’s so important to emphasize that the shepherd is there to lead his flock, to emphasize the unity of the Church, to show resolve and strength in the face of Covid? Unconscionable. If I were a priest of the diocese of Rome, I would feel it as a slap to my face.
@thomistking: “Since a disgraced former cardinal merits such an important feast, I assume the Holy Father will be spending Easter with Cardinal Burke!”
Exactly my thoughts. I immediately thought of Cardinal Burke as soon as I read this. I’m guessing we won’t have to hold our breaths for Card. Burke to get his own visit from Francis.
@ChrisP: “…He did do chemistry so he’ll know all about entropy and Boyles Law.”
Hey…don’t blame me if it turns out badly…:)

Why did you mention African?
Maybe Francis went to Cardinal Becciu to see about a loan to get the Vatican out of the red
IIRC the current Pope had a habit of visiting prisoners on Holy Thursday. That would make this visit seem less of an honor for Becciu.

@robtbrown – I mentioned “African” because it would be pandering towards the illegal immigrants that are gearing up to cross the Mediterranean once again now that the weather is warming. Pandering to migrants has been a pretty strong part of Francis’s public agenda.
And lest we forget, Becciu was the lapdog selected to neutralize and “watch” Cardinal Burke at his position with the Knights of Malta, itself bulldozed by Francis. One wonders if there is any room for pastoral solicitude in the Pontifical Heart for ++Burke, Brandmüller, Müller (and his fired collaborators at CDF), Viganò, Fra Matthew Festing, the Friars of the Immaculate, the eminent members of John Paul II’s Pontifical Academy for Life (dismissed without so much as a thank you after decades of service-my parents’ friend Mercedes Arzú-Wilson, champion of the Billings method of NFP among them)… or even for the priests robbed of their ability to say their own Mass at the Vatican Archbasilica? Pastoral care for some, but not for others.
Shocking.
I thought you were posting about “Judas and the Scandal of Mercy” and the (apparently) ever-growing need to canonize him.
“Perhaps [Judas] is first Apostle who entered [into paradise] with the two thieves,” Mazzolari declares.
