    Cardinal Hollerich, in favour of women’s ordination: “It is not just a demand of some left-wing women’s associations”

    March 20 2026
    Joe O'Leary
    The Cardinal is pointing to phenomena that are staring us in the face. We are pursuing elusive talk about nuptiality when we have before our eyes not only churches without ministers but vast armies of women who are slighted by our cocksure theological claims which we refuse to discuss. It is a nice idea, even a sublime idea, that the Church is the Bride of Christ (from Ephesians and the end of the Apocalypse) but to object to women ministers on the basis that a woman cannot be a groom is an iffy leap to another register. How many priests ever imagine themselves to be the groom to their congregations? Conversely, a woman who feeds her congregation with the Word of God and with the Eucharist is fulfilling Christ's love for his church, which is the whole point of the spousal imagery. To say that only a man can image this love is to restrict it needlessly. Moving from the world of poetic imagination to the world of canon law creates strange constrictions. The psychology and sociology of all-male clubs is now intensely scrutinized, and in Western society many exclusively male bastions, such as Oxford colleges, athletic associations, learned societies, even boys' choirs, have done the unthinkable and opened the door to women. Pope Francis's funeral was a stunning spectacle of all-maleness in action. The disappearance of the other sex did not go unnoticed. To rejoice in this Parsifalian display would be seen as misogynistic. Before invoking arcane theological notions (which will look after themselves), we need to do a phenomenology of the facts before us, to read the signs of the times, taking the lead from Cardinal Hollerich's common sense.

    22 March 2026 – 5th Sunday of Lent, Year A

    March 22 2026
    Thara Benedicta
    Key Message: Can you work with Lord Jesus for a miracle? Homily: We are all aware of the famous story of the transformation of Saint Augustine. Can we ponder the same story with reference to today's Gospel teaching. Monica wept for her wayward son Augusting for over 15, with her grief described as exceeding that of a mother losing a child. She followed him from city to city, praying, fasting and begging our Lord Jesus to change his heart. Still Augustine was not changing. Instead he was going from bad to worse. Saint Ambrose, who was Bishop then comforted her saying, "The child of so many tears shall not perish". In the above real life story (sequence1) we see two great transformations: 1. From sad mother Monica to Joyful Saint Monica 2. From rebellious sinner Augustine to Saint Augustine, Doctor of the Church Their story still reverberates hope to generations, especially mothers. Let us consider the same story with a different course of action from our Lord Jesus (Sequence 2). Restart the same story: Monica weeps for her son Augustine. Within a year our Lord Jesus transforms Augustine's heart. Both mother and son are happy. End of the story: 1. Mother Monica remains mother Monica 2. Rebellious sinner Augustine becomes good Augustine As per our human desire we long for "Sequence2". But our Lord Jesus Christ has big plans for our lives like "Sequence1". Our waiting period is a gift from our Abba Father. During this waiting period, we undergo the transformation from where we are to where we should be. Martha says in today's Gospel, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Mother Monica may have thought the same. Many times we would have wondered, "Why can't Jesus cure me in a moment?". It takes hardly a minute for my Lord". Yes it does not require 10 hours of work for our Lord Jesus to transform St.Augustine or to wake up Lazarus. There is a wonderful thing happening here. Guess what? "Our Lord Jesus Christ is WAITING for us".As we think, we are not waiting for Him. He is waiting for us to transform.Our Lord Christ was waiting for 15 years for mother Monica to become Saint Mother Monica. Then her son Augustine was transformed. When we are waiting for something, our Jesus is actually waiting for us . Still we can be happy. Since we still persevere in our prayers. The Holy Spirit will do His teaching, transform and resurrect us. Are you asking our Lord Jesus, "Are you seeing my agony?".Though our Lord Jesus knew that Mary and Martha were going to be immensely happy shortly, still He couldn't see them crying. He who did not weep when He was arrested and scourged, wept as soon as He saw Mary and Martha crying. Our God got His new name "God who sees" from a woman crying in the desert.In the Old Testament we came to know, our God is "God who sees". In the New Testament, we know what our God does when He sees our sufferings. His heart moves with compassion and He weeps for His children.   Our Lord Jesus asks us to take steps of faith, believing that our Lord Jesus will perform the miracle. Our Jesus instructed, "Roll away the stone". When they rolled away the stone, it showed their faith and obedience. Hence when we take steps of faith, then our Lord Jesus will do the miracle. Take for instance, our Lord Jesus is standing in front of the tomb. He asks the people to roll away the stone. The people are not rolling away giving lots of excuses. Then our Lord Jesus will not be able to do the miracle, even if He is willing. So our Lord Jesus is moved when He sees us moving the blocking stones in our lives. Now let us consider the moment after our Lord Jesus performs the miracle. Lazarus is alive but still not yet free. He is still tied in his grave clothes. Are you facing this issue? What are the grave clothes binding your life? What are the new opportunities which our Lord Jesus has opened up?Is your child trying to change, but still not able to give up bad habits due to his old friends? Have you helped him by moving to a new locality?Has the Holy Spirit showered you with new blessings, but you are hesitant to take it, since you do not want to give away the comfort of known acquaintances?Has the Holy Spirit moved you to help someone? We can be the Mary/Martha/person who rolled the stone/ person who unbinded Lazarus. Or we can be Lazarus and simultaneously we can be someone's Lazarus. All we need to believe is Jesus is there, everyone is taken care!!

    Hasn't the Church existed for 2000 years? Maybe that is not long term to his Eminence.
