He may have been a product of the 60s. He may have been getting too feeble to face the heat. It could have been any combinations of such factors. He was the "pope of Christian unity," as the Brick by Brick Bund (as IANS puts it) keeps telling us. He wanted to reunite the SSPX. But he may have been vulnerable at just those points where the most radical "spirit of vatican ii" sorts were most vocally hostile.Anonymous Boschnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-32885620445779339012013-07-11T14:20:12.433-04:002013-07-11T14:20:12.433-04:00Dear Sheldon.

Jesus is the Head of His Church He established and He will not abandon His Bride and neither will the Holy Ghost let it officially teach error; however, Our Triune God will not force The Hierarchy to Teach the Truth of Catholic Tradition.<br /><br />I was born into a Catholic Church that was clearly <i> visibilium</i> to friend and foe alike, but, after V2, that Church, previously <i>visiblium</i> is now <i>invisibilium</i> but just because a thing is <i>invisibilium</i> does not mean it has no existence.<br /><br />It will return with a vengeance once the entire world is convinced it has disappeared for Holy Mother Church completely recapitulates the Passion and Death and Resurrection of He who established it.Mick Jagger Gathers No Mosquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879499915093940176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-74669573228663780772013-07-11T10:22:37.232-04:002013-07-11T10:22:37.232-04:00All clinking brass balls aside, I think the indisp...All clinking brass balls aside, I think the indisputable fact is that all of these guys were a "mixed bag." The traditionalists would not have likely gotten Summorum Pontificum from any other pope. While not perfect, it wasn't an unmitigated disaster. <br /><br />What shakes out is a mix of good and bad, or relative good and bad, in the policies of all of these popes. Paul VI's Mass may have been a disaster; his Humanae Vitae was less of one. Etc. <br /><br />Yes, they all may have been corrupted by the poison of the nouvelles' kool aid. But who will say that by permitting these popes our Lord has abandoned his Church?Sheldonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-29098980708920803062013-07-09T09:37:57.418-04:002013-07-09T09:37:57.418-04:00I don't buy any of this.
