    Pope Francis responds to dubia submitted by five cardinals

    October 3 2023
    Pat Savage
    Fundamentalism as defined in the dictionary: "form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture." Very strong language to use from all those who want us all to make sure the doors of church are not closed to anyone and further more to define the Pope as giving us valuable catechesis. Well very loose I think or as one commentator on RTÉ today pointed out, the the words used by the pope would only cause more confusion for priests. But sure the media in the west of Ireland will give us a looser interpretation of what's been said or written.

    Pope Francis responds to dubia submitted by five cardinals

    October 3 2023
    Joe O'Leary
    Pope Francis shows up the narrow magisterial fundamentalism of his opponents by giving them a basic lesson in theology. He took their dubia as bona fide inquiries rather than gotcha questions and made them an occasion for valuable catechesis. Today is a day of hope: the Synod opens, and Laudate si' Part II sees the light. St Francis of Assisi, pray for us.
