The King is Christ. Peter is His representative. And--as you ALSO should know--Pp. Francis has yet to remark on "doctrine," other than to leave it intact.<br /><br />Circumlocute as you will; nothing has changed, except the Pope's remarkable ability to be imprudent in his speechifying and letter-writing.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-90894307240924692982016-04-12T10:47:30.533-05:002016-04-12T10:47:30.533-05:00I am afraid the days of papal monarchy are over.

The authentic and normative ecclesiology of Vatican II, something Archbishop Listecki has discoursed on admirably in his most recent pastoral letter, is both decentralized and episcopally sensitive. Pope Francis' writing and speaking style reflect the doctrinal demands of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-65548556389236352352016-04-12T08:37:37.557-05:002016-04-12T08:37:37.557-05:00More fully: the Pope's M.O. in communicating, ...More fully: the Pope's M.O. in communicating, even with an 'exhortation' which is decidedly not doctinal/dogmatic, could be described as <i>imprudent</i> by an informed layman who 'gets' Marshall McLuhan.<br /><br />Peters' post (and Cdl. Burke's essay on the topic) both 'clarify' HH's text.<br /><br />They also 'clarify' the scandalous laxity surrounding Canon 915 in the West.<br /><br />Informed laymen "get" that, as well.<br />Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-14078500563502516262016-04-12T05:37:39.074-05:002016-04-12T05:37:39.074-05:00When one is El Primo, one does not "invite cl...When one is El Primo, one does not "invite clarification."<br /><br />Observant laymen get that.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-16910923539909950422016-04-11T22:48:35.999-05:002016-04-11T22:48:35.999-05:00It is not that Pope Francis writes in ambiguous pr...It is not that Pope Francis writes in ambiguous prose. He writes in ecclesial dialogue. His style is not unclear. It is quite clearly decentralized. His language awakens and invites the contributions of the Vatican's various dicasteries, the clarifications of cardinals and bishops around the world, and the voices and experiences of laypersons. Those who have read Evangelii Gaudium nn. 16 and 27 get that. Now it is time for other observers to catch up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
