The present arresting example comes form none other than the typically excellent Fr. Schall. At CWR he has a column that shares this:<br /><br />...Let me cite another incident recollected by Pope Francis from his episcopal experience, recounted in Andrea Tornielli's book, Jorge Mario Bergoglio: Francis: Pope of a New World (Ignatius Press, 2013). It seems that the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima was once in Buenos Aires. Bishop Bergoglio was at Mass there during which an elderly lady went to confession to him. Evidently, the lady told him that everyone has sins but the Lord “forgives all things.” The bishop asked her “How do you know that, Madam?” She replied, as he recalled, “If the Lord did not forgive everything, the world would not exist.” This passage—If the Lord did not forgive everything, the world would not exist—is simply remarkable.<br /><br />Schall then goes on to explain how we have freedom and must choose to repent. All very good. Except through an avalanche of words he ends by affirming this woman's contention: God forgives everything. Somehow, he wants us to understand that we must repent, but hey, God forgives everything. And he sees no contradiction or confusion, since, as we know, everything the Pope says must be wonderful and patently profound. Meanwhile, the take away form the column for all but the most very attentive readers will simply be, Yes, God forgives everything. <br /><br />This is considered top-flight preaching in Catholic circles. And we wonder where the problem lies. Vague, vague theologies of sin, repentance, and salvation. The universal salvific will of God trumps every and all distinctions. It's all good. Live & let love. This is the zeitgeist , and it reigns supreme in secular and sacred circles. Unless it is countered, no systematic theology conveys can successfully convey imperatives or make much sense, even if the person speaking is as affable as Pope Francis.
