(by John Blackeye) So much thundered it rained. Pope Bergoglio, motu proprio, established that anyone order a woman priest incurs immediate and automatic excommunication.
The norm is contained in the Apostolic Constitution Pascite gregem Dei, with which we learn that Pope Francis has decided to change canon law by providing for a new series of criminal sanctions in the Church. There are many news but we want to focus on the automatic excommunication for those Bishops who decide to ordain a woman priest, in the wake of a rainbow / modernist wave that has swept away part of the German Church.
But what is happening in the universal Catholic Church?
The Church, at the time of Pope Bergoglio, is characterized by a pontificate that wanted a turning point and a clean break with the previous pontificates. However, there are many Catholics who have not yet understood in which direction they want to go and who regret the ocean crowds that followed. John Paul II in every part of the world.
The fact is that with this pontificate there was a turning point, at least in the speeches held off the cuff by the Pope, towards "less spiritual" values such as ecology, immigration, work, the protection of homosexual rights, the Eucharist for the divorced and remarried (in some cases), mercy for all and an ecumenism that would like to flatten all religions on the same level, including the Catholic one. This is evident.
In this chaotic situation, many Cardinals, Bishops and Priests felt authorized to propose "personalized" theological interpretations as did the German Bishops who, leaving behind the "narrow path" and sound doctrine, the Last May 10, in many parishes decorated with rainbow flags, they decided to bless homosexual couples by proposing, on the occasion, the extension of the priesthood also to women.
The providential indications provided by the Cardinal Ruini, heroically took the field once again to stop this modernist hemorrhage in German territory. The elderly Cardinal had justified the prohibition imposed by the Holy See on the blessings of gay couples, not because they did not want to do it but because - as such unions are contrary to divine will - they cannot be done.
Referring to the sender every prohibition, a part of the German Bishops and Priests simultaneously gave birth to ceremonies of blessing of homosexual couples throughout Germany, flaunting their disobedience in front of the numerous media gathered for the occasion.
Fortunately or by the grace of God, this time the Pope intervened firmly. Therefore, leaving aside the question of blessings, with reference to the orientation of some Teutonic Bishops to ordain women priests, the Roman Catholic Church has made it known that the person responsible for this act will be subject to automatic excommunication, therefore to automatic expulsion from the Church.
Will there be a schism in the Church then? It is not the first and it may not even be the last. In reality, the schism has already occurred - in fact - with the blessings of homosexual couples. At that precise moment, the disobedient priests put themselves out of the Catholic Church.
The inclusive Church hoped for by a part of the German clergy is another Church, disconnected from the Gospel, which is why the roads between the Catholic and the German Churches have already separated.
Now we look forward to the next round. Will the German cardinals respond with the appointment of female priests? We'll see. At that point the automatic excommunications will intervene and it will be noted, with bitterness, that the "Protestantism"Will have claimed other victims.
