New Female Secretary at Dicastery for Religious, Wants to "Blow Up Established Frameworks"

Pope Leo XIV appointed today Sister Tiziana Merletti, the former Superior General of the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor, as Secretary of the Dicastery for Religious.

Born in Pineto, Italy, in 1959, Sister Merletti professed her vows in 1986. She holds a law degree and a doctorate in canon law. She currently teaches canon law at the Pontifical Antonianum University.

Canon 129 § 1 of the Code of Canon Law says that power in the church should be exercised by "those who have received Holy Orders."

The Prefect of the Dicastery for Religious is already a woman: Sister Simona Brambilla, who was appointed in January 2025.

SilereNonPossum.com warns that a dicastery governed almost exclusively by women may struggle to understand the dynamics specific to male institutes.

There is a "fear Sister Merletti shows an excessive bent towards 'judicial activism'."

On several occasions Sister Merletti has advanced a distinctly "feminine vision of power" [whatever that may be], warning against "entrenched models" and advocating "synodal-style processes."

In an interview with Città Nuova she once said: "We women want to do our part, express ourselves differently, and move processes forward with our own sensibility. I understand it’s hard to make room for us, because we see things in a way that can blow up established frameworks."

Yes, there have always been powerful women in the Church but the men come to them and ask for their prayers and advice

Sister just the rights of God, forget what you want! "We women want to do our part, express ourselves differently, and move processes forward with our own sensibility. I understand it’s hard to make room for us, because we see things in a way that can blow up established frameworks."

As usual these poor misguided “sisters” are shooting themselves in the foot…who will be joining them in their group..not faithful women but radical feminist types whose goal is not to imitate Mary, the ultimate model of women but the revolutionary spirits invading our world.

The poor woman has no standing to accept the office to which she has been appointed, as even the modernist 1983 Code requires those charged with governance to have received holy orders. Same goes for her lady boss. Consequently, all its acts are invalid.

Trad Inc. has bellowed moments after Prevost's election: "We need to watch and see. It won't take long before we know where he intends to take the Church." They were right: it didn't take long. So: what will Trad Inc. do now? (Sarcasm: I know the response: Even after praise of Francis and +Bernardin as his models, and now his first Curial appointment confirming Francis' crucial break with Tradition regarding women in positions of ecclesial governance, here will be the response, "We need more time.")

Burke et al solicited certain promises from Prevost before the election. Among which seems to have been TLM freedom and clarity of doctrine. Not having a sister as Sec of a Dicastery was.probably not among them.
Leo XIV is MOR. That might change is a few years.

Sorry, but there will be no “clarity of Doctrine” as it relates to the issue of sodomy and sodomites. We might hear something affirming that marriage is a holy and exclusive covenant between one man and one woman; but nothing affirming the Church’s prohibitive stance against homosexual acts and the unrepentant homosexual lifestyle. Nor will there be any clarity regarding so-called “gay civil unions” nor on the prevalence of sodomy throughout the Priesthood and an effort made to cleanse it. Nothing like that is going to happen, and here’s why: There is a “deal” on the table for the sake of what is being defined as "unity." It's a deal that entails these agreements: 1. The so-called conservatives or orthodox will get back their long-wished-for freedom to celebrate the Roman Rite (with a few conditions), along with some sort of statement reaffirming the Church's ban on women receiving Holy Orders; and 2. The so-called progressives will get to keep their Papal approval of, advancement of and blessing of sodomy, and the continued inclusion and embracing of those sodomites who openly promote it, they’ll also get to keep their hyper-ecumenism, their full-on inter-religious “dialogue” and acceptance of idolatry and the idolatrous, along with the continued implementation of “synodalty” as a form of governance for structural and doctrinal change and upheaval in the Church. That’s where we’re headed.

Ha! Earlier I said the Latin Rite restrictions had to be removed. I still think the so-called Catholic Church would do well to remove those restrictions.
We were told Pope Prevost knew Canon law. OBVIOUSLY NOT!
This weird Modernist stuff has been going on much of my life.
I'M OUT!

Simon NorthMay 23

@Dr Bobus What is "MOR"? Also, reports about +Burke et al meeting with Prevost pre-election have been both mentioned and denied. As far as I know, +Burke has said nothing about it.

SonoftheChurchMay 22

Where is her Habit? What kind of Bride of Christ is she supposed to be? Where is her Veil, Coif and Wimple? She should be fully and virtuously covered. And to think she calls herself a “nun.” How scandalously shameful. God help us.

Dr BobusMay 22

Actually, she's a sister not a nun. The latter is a cloistered contemplative

SonoftheChurchMay 22edited

She's still a female Religious and is, therefore, inappropriately attired as such, regardless of her status or office.

Mike the PikeMay 22

@SonoftheChurch Regarding attire: It is acceptable under the failed V2's made up dress code. I don't think the V2 Council specified dress codes. I've been told the V2 Council did not make the wording changes to most of the sacraments; Novus Ordo excepted. Much of the stuff we have now was made up after the V2 Council.
