Gaslighting: Singapore Cardinal Calls on Traditionalists to "Surrender"
However, in his new homily, he calls for adapting to changing situations. "We cannot remain where we are when the times have changed."
The key part, which was published in bold in the original article and excerpted by the Cardinal on X.com, is surprisingly critical of [anonymous] Catholics:
"The danger with traditionalists is that in their desire to remain true to the past, they forget that fidelity to the past requires change. The irony is that not changing is being unfaithful to our past. Simply sticking to past practices by merely repeating them would be a sign of infidelity. Instead, fidelity to the past means fidelity to the original principles that led to certain practices and rules. While the expression must change according to the times, the core truth remains. The essence and the truth itself cannot change, but the way we express this truth must adapt to our times.”
Cardinal Goh goes on to speak about the celebration of the Eucharist claiming that it has [allegedly] evolved over 2000 years: "The essentials of the Eucharist cannot be changed, namely, that the Mass is a sacrifice, a meal, the real presence of the Lord and a thanksgiving. However, how the Mass is to be celebrated has been changing since the first Mass was celebrated by the early Christians."
He calls to trust in God and uses the word "surrender" as if traditionalists are to disarm: "If changes are difficult to accept, we must take the risk of believing in His divine plan for us."
Cardinal Goh then uses the word "submission": "We need to be docile and trusting."
Resumé: "We will only hurt ourselves if we insist on sticking to our limited view of life and staying in the comfort our familiar environment."
