Quarter page ad in the New York Times (aka Hell’s Bible) which had a spontaneous photographer handy at a spontaneous event recently, also featured in Hell’s Bible.
Not deceptive at all, is it?

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

We all need to read PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS .
Pope St Pius X had it right in 1907.
I have to add that unlike the Encyclicals of recent Popes, this is clear and concise.
I seriously wonder what Saint Ignatius of Loyola is thinking about his Order while looking down from Heaven. This is NOT what he envisioned for his Order.
Around my house, we would respond to that headline with “I see what you mean, in a negative sort of way.” Meaning: I think the reality is exactly the opposite, but I am too nice to just throw it in your face and force you to eat your own words.
I have little doubt that someone would have shown Francis this headline (or the ad), and I suspect his response would have been a quick eye roll, followed by a shrug of the shoulders, consistent with “meh: nothing to see here – people will take what I say in whatever way they want and make moles into mountains or the reverse. But (officially), I am not responsible for their nonsense.”
Well they aren’t lying, it has. It is now their church, no longer ours, if our priests and bishops cave. The photos of rites and ceremonies are going to be fabulous.
On the one hand, no one has had the boldness to excommunicate the little devils at America Magazine. But that does not mean they are solidly on the path to heaven, either.
