BREAKING: A perverse & pornographic book written by DDF Prefect Cardinal Víctor Fernández in 1998—3 years after “The Art of Kissing”—has been discovered in Argentina. Titled “Mystical Passion: Spirituality & Sensuality”, its Chapters 7, 8 & 9 are too explicit to post here (1/2):

Image Those who found the book—not wanting it to be seen by the public because of its blasphemous & explicit content—intended to send it to Cardinals, but it was leaked. As reports—& likely passages—are published today, will #PopeFrancis remove Fernández head of Doctrine of the Faith?

CARDINAL MÜLLER dismantles #Vatican declaration: “There are no biblical texts or texts of the Fathers & Doctors of the Church or previous documents of the magisterium to support [its] conclusions ... What we see is not a development but a doctrinal leap.” newdailycompass.com/en/mueller-ble… “In the Bible a blessing has to do with the order that God has created & that he has declared to be good. This order is based on the sexual difference of male & female called to be one flesh. Blessing a reality that is contrary to creation is not only impossible, it is blasphemy”

OCT 21 #Synod briefing: German Bishop Overbeck says: “We put Jesus Christ at the center of faith in a common quest without clinging to habits & traditionalisms which, if critically examined, have no priority in the hierarchy of truth, & this in the end is important to say.”👇1/4 Summing up Bishop Overbeck’s statement (and inviting him to correct me if I had misunderstood his meaning), I asked him what he meant by “tradition”, and if he meant Apostolic Tradition?

At Oct 14 #Synod briefing, I asked Paolo Ruffini if we’ll be given a breakdown of how many bishop-members voted for a particular point in the final synthesis report & how many non-bishop-members voted for the same point. The answer seems to be “no”. Full text of exchange 👇(1/3). Ruffini told me afterward that it “makes no sense” to provide this breakdown. However, if a 2/3 majority is needed to pass, & on a certain controversial point the bishop-members vote 50% yea & 50% nay, the non-bishop vote could push the proposal through. Our full exchange below: Image

New +Roche interview: “All that is taking place” with #TraditionisCustodes “is the regulation of the former liturgy of 1962 Missal by stopping the promotion of that. The Council [put] forward a new liturgy...& to resist that is...really quite serious, too.”vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2… “There has never been a controversy about the liturgy in the way we are experiencing it today, partly because there’s never before been 2 versions of the Roman Missal—[the 1962] & then the [1970] which was produced with the full force of [Vatican II] & promulgated by [Paul VI].”
