Damien Thompson has posted at The Spectator (UK) a piece Cardinal Pell wrote recently, about the Synod on Synodality:
From The Catholic Church must free itself from this ‘toxic nightmare’
Excerpt:
By an enormous margin, regularly worshipping Catholics everywhere do not endorse the present synod findings. Neither is there much enthusiasm at senior Church levels. Continued meetings of this sort deepen divisions and a knowing few can exploit the muddle and good will. The ex-Anglicans among us are right to identify the deepening confusion, the attack on traditional morals and the insertion into the dialogue of neo-Marxist jargon about exclusion, alienation, identity, marginalisation, the voiceless, LGBTQ as well as the displacement of Christian notions of forgiveness, sin, sacrifice, healing, redemption. Why the silence on the afterlife of reward or punishment, on the four last things; death and judgement, heaven and hell?

I too wonder about this Damien Thompson article. How do we know that Cardinal Pell actually wrote it? Isn’t it too convenient for a Cardinal Who Knew Too Much to suddenly die in Rome after Benedict’s passing, especially given recent progressive Italian media saying that the “conservative” Cardinals are out to get Francis? Now there cannot be more than two of those left.
