🧵Archbishop Broglio, the US Bishops’ conference's new president, has dismissed the idea he’s anti-Pope Francis.

But Broglio was once linked to a nexus of power that sought to prevent the future pope being appointed archbishop of Buenos Aires & later tried to have him unseated.
During his time as “Chief of Cabinet” to Cardinal Angelo Sodano, one of the most powerful figures in the Vatican, Broglio became friendly with a wealthy Argentinian businessman, Esteban Caselli, a powerful opponent of Jorge Bergoglio. (Pic: Broglio, Sodano, Caselli)
As @bettapique has reported Caselli, Argentina’s Ambassador to the Holy See, & Broglio played tennis together. Archbishop Broglio later received high state honours from Argentina despite never having worked in the country. Why was he decorated by the Argentine state?

🧵In EWTN's @WorldOverLive, Raymond Arroyo & the papal posse dismisses my description of the synod as a Holy Spirit-listening exercise.

The programme mistook me for Christopher White (I can only apologise to @cwwhiteNCR). But it wasn't the only bit of incorrect information... ImageImageImage
Mr Arroyo said my description made the synod sound like a “Vatican-sanctioned seance” (🤔🤔)

Robert Royal & Fr Gerald Murray dismissed the synod document with Fr Murray saying it is “basically complaints from those who have embraced immorality and heretical notions.”
.@GeraldMurray8 claimed that “loss of faith” and a “new generation” not being involved in the life of the Church “don’t really appear at all in the synod document.”

In fact, the synod document calls for a “preferential option for the young” Image

Pope Francis in #Quebec calls for a "discerning view" of the world instead of a "negative view".

This negative view is "often born of a faith that feels under attack and thinks of it as a kind of 'armour', defending us against the world...
Such a view, Francis explains, says “the world is evil, sin reigns” and risks becoming clothed in a “crusading spirit”.

"We need to be careful because this is not Christian"

#PopeInCanada
A discerning view, by contrast, is "similar to that of God, who discerns what is good and persistently seeks it, sees it and nurtures it. This is no naïve view, but a view that discerns reality."

Archbishop Arthur Roche, in an interview with @The_Tablet, says the Vatican's divine worship office is preparing a document on liturgical formation in seminaries.

He says the reasoning behind Vatican II's reforms needs to be better understood.

thetablet.co.uk/features/2/215…
Roche says standing against the Pope is an "astonishing act", "full of hubris"

The belief “that things will change under a new pontificate is not only misplaced but reveals an enormous ignorance about the mandate given to the entire Church by the Second Vatican Council.” /2
Bishops, he says, have expressed “relief” at the restrictions Pope Francis issued on the pre-Vatican II liturgy.

Archbishop Roche says the Old Rite is allowed as a “pastoral concession.”

And he gives the theological reasons why. /3

Pope Francis says that the protests following the killing of #GeorgeFloyd had the spirit of the Good Samaritan.

“This movement did not pass by on the other side of the road when it saw the injury to human dignity caused by an abuse of power.”
Francis, addressing a @EnMovPop meeting, says it “saddens me” that some in the Church “get annoyed” by Catholic social doctrine.

“The Pope must not stop mentioning this teaching, even if it often annoys people, because what is at stake is not the Pope but the Gospel.”
These principles, he says, include the “preferential option for the poor, the universal destination of goods, solidarity, subsidiarity, participation, and the common good” and they belong to the “full tradition of the Church” #PopularMovementwithFrancis
