Here he is spouting damned post-Vatican II heresy about valuing temptation:<\/p>\n
My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations<\/strong>: Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. (Jas 1:2\u20134).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I\u2019m told that the bit about \u201cvaluing\u201d the sexual orientation of gays in yesterday\u2019s Relatio <\/em>is a bad rendering of the Italian and might better be translated as \u201ctaking into consideration\u201d. Dunno if that\u2019s so since I don\u2019t speak Italian. It\u2019s a working document recall, titled in English \u201cReport After Debate\u201d. Expecting it to be a teaching document is like expecting a laundry list to be a novel. If you do, get used to disappointment.<\/p>\n
Me: I don\u2019t have a big issue with either rendering since (as Damned Modernist St James, in that thoroughly Modernist Douay-Rheims translation of the Bible points out) there is lots of room in the Catholic tradition for \u201cO Happy Fault. O necessary sin of Adam, which gained for us so great a Redeemer\u201d paradoxes that thank God even for our temptations.<\/p>\n
But mostly, the smart money is on waiting till the Synod is over and conclusions are drawn. When they are, we will discover that nothing in the Church\u2019s basic teaching on the morality of human sexuality or the sacrament of marriage will have changed. There will simply be some practical and tactical changes in how to apply that teaching is our messy and complicated world. Neither the Great Rosy Dawn of Complete Pelvic Libertinism nor the End of Days will be fruits of the Synod.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
