Archbishop Stands Up For Faith - Polish Bishops Are "Sorry"

It is good that Benedict XVI spoke about celibacy, Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga, 69, formerly in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, said in a talk show on Polish state television.

If Benedict had acted earlier, the current ecclesiastical confusion would not have occurred, Lenga believes. He hopes that the Church in Kazakhstan and Russia that survived communism, will escape corrupting Western influences.

On sexual issues, Lenga says the Church should not go the easy way, or ask people what is easier for them, because Christ didn't act like that.

The Tridentine Mass and the Novus Ordo are for him like heaven and earth, because the Mass celebrant becomes a second Christ, not a buddy of Jesus.

Many prelates, including Bergoglio, don’t have the deep faith that Christ transmitted to his disciples, Lenga observed. He supports Archbishop Viganó and criticises Cardinal Marx, whose church has “nothing to do” with the Catholic Church.

The ex-secretary of the Berlin Cardinals Sterzinsky (+2011) and Meisner (+2017) told Lenga that in Germany there were only three or four bishops left who are more or less Catholic.

Lenga mentioned a Polish archbishop emeritus and Bible professor [presumably: Archbishop Henryk Muszyński], who told him that today "nobody has a monopoly on truth." But Lenga informed him that Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life, has this monopoly. For him this archbishop is a personal catastrophe and betrayer of Christ.

Lenga also quoted a Greek Catholic bishop who called married priests a “catastrophe” because they are divided between altar and family.

On 22 January, the spokesman of the Polish Bishops' Conference, Father Paweł Rytel-Andrianik, regretted that Lenga appears in the media and "misleads believers."

The Church always seems to be behind the times, when it is really beyond the times; it is waiting till the last fad shall have seen its last summer. It keeps the key of a permanent virtue.

@Lalanz, excuse me, would you be so kind to tell me how is he a coward, what's the telltale sign. That he is a Catholic who speaks out? I don't know, what should he do, get a machine gun? Tell me, I would like to know tour opinion

If you have not noticed, almost all of the cardinal have been playing dead for years now. Since the scandals have come out, just a hand full of cardinals just speak out. Speaking out is not enough, the handful of cardinals that are against Francis and his devils need to unite and take real actions to remove these bad people from the Vatican.
The Pope position is not infallible, any body can take …More

The Pope position is not infallible, any body can take the pope to court with lawyers, proving him to be a heretic and then by church law remove him...but woe to any cardinal that just speaks up, they are cowards because they are just watching in the side lines.

The church is our mother, imagine if you watched someone beating up your mother and all you did is just speak up? If someone was beating my mom, I would defend her physically, yes with guns and an army. The cardinals that are not cowards, should flee the Vatican and unite with another country so an army can start a war with the Vatican to remove Francis and his devils forcefully and jail them. There is more than enough evidence for any world army or political process to jail these serpents...

This is not good enough, these cardinals need to get out of their comfy seats and take to the streets...
