Bishops’ Conferences As a Means to Create More Confusion?

Pope Francis’ Council of Cardinals met this week in Rome. Among other things they attempted to invent a theological basis for the bishops’ conferences. Already when these conferences were introduced, theologians pointed out that the only time when the apostles acted as a group was when in Getsemani they abandoned Christ. Francis wants these conferences to have a – quote – “authentic doctrinal authority” although this has no basis in the Bible. His ultimate goal seems to be to water down Catholic doctrine by having different bishops’ conferences deciding contradictory things and to continue his work of confusion which he started with Amoris Laetitia.

Sandro Magister commented on Pope Francis’ statement that “there are no other interpretations” of Amoris Laetitia than the heretical interpretation given by the Buenos Aires Bishops. Magister calls this – quote - "the most spectacular 'fake news' of Pope Francis’s pontificate." He adds, “There is nothing, in fact, farther from reality than those four words, if one just looks at the variety of contrasting interpretations of Amoris Laetitia which by now have free rein in the Catholic Church.”

Valencia Auxiliary Bishop Esteban Escudero has been indicted with nine others for the visit of Benedict XVI in Valencia in July 2006. Escudero was the president of the Foundation for the Fifth World Family Meeting which organized the visit. In this function he is accused of breach of duty, embezzlement and forgery of documents.

Michigan's roads need all the prayers they can get according to the Detroit Free Press. Angry motorists talk about potholes causing bent rims and flattening tires. Therefore the Detroit Archdiocese has asked on Twitter who should be designated the patron saint of potholes? The responses were: St. Christopher, patron of travelers; Bl. Sebastian of Aparicio, patron of roads; or St. Jude, patron of lost causes. St. Jude was the top contender. User, @MFelten25, paid homage to the Beatles: "Hey Jude. Don't make it bad. Take a bad road and make it better."
