September 24, 2021 by Peter COMPLICIT CLERGY.
“Weeks after taking up his post as new p resident of the former John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family, Monsignor Philippe Bordeyne made a remarkable statement in a revealing interview with La Croix International, the English-language daily edited by La Croix, unofficial daily of the French episcopate, saying, “We theologians cannot continue to assert certainties about the family when we see the transformations it is undergoing today.”
What are “certainties” about the family seen from the Catholic point of view? They are definitions, rules of life. They are reflections based on the natural realities and aims of marriage, and the natural laws that govern it. They are the result of the scrutiny of the revelation that tells of God’s plan for mankind, of the supernatural objective of procreation, which is to people God’s heaven with saints, and of the nature and value of sacramental marriage, which is a reflection of Jesus’ love for the Church.
When St. John Paul II founded the Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family, it was clearly and profoundly attached to traditional Catholic doctrine on marriage, acknowledging the existence of absolute moral norms that are always binding and prohibit intrinsically evil acts. Such were the “certainties” mentioned above – and the fact that they were certainties did not make them uninteresting or rigid in the sense that they could not account for new realities of the day.
On the contrary, they were the principles, the supporting walls on which the Church could build in order to assess modernity and, if necessary, challenge it with the help of faith and reason – as it did, for instance, with gender ideology, which is a radical negation of the rules of God’s creation”
PAT SAYS
There are beliefs that we Catholic Christians are not able to change – The existence of God, the Trinity etc.
But there other things that are open to change and to a change of beliefs and teachings and practice.
The church showed littke interest in marriage until the 12 th century.
Same-sex partnerships were blessed in medieval times.
In time to come:
1. Celibacy will be optional.
2. Women will be ordained.
3. Same sex marriages will be blessed.
On the way there will be much division and schisms will happen.
The church will shrink.
Whats really the point in having a billion nominal members anyway?
And JP 11 will be on permanent rotation in his tomb.

Karol Wojytla conducted an illicit and inappropriate affair with a married Polish professor of philosophy who co-edited his book The Acting Person.
He said that she was his vocation and their love letters were purchased for an undisclosed sum and are under lock and key indefinitely in the Polish National Library. He also wore a scapula denoting his undying love and affection.
Only problem was she was married and he was the leader of a world religion which upheld the sanctity of marriage.
Therefore the notion that an institution in his name on marriage seem risible and hypocritical.

SUBJECT AREA OF INTEREST: “COMMUNION”
i – time was if a pope wanted to say something he looked it up in his book and said it. He had a handful of secretaries.
ii – if bishops wanted to say something they looked it up in their book and said it.
iii – a lot of the time there was lot of things they didn’t say. They didn’t need quangoes full of string pullers.
iv – our family whether it be a single person or a crowd, is our family. We don’t need it “defining” by any “authority”. When we get out of our beds with our God given subsidiarity in the mornings, and breathe with our own lungs with our God given subsidiarity, we define our own selves and lives, just like the agnostics.
iv – we marry each other if we marry. No-one needs a “church marriage” and no-one needs a “church blessing”. People can and should bless each other. (A parson was a handy person in each locality who could keep a register and ensure witnesses were present.)
v – manoeuvring doesn’t in God’s eyes make up for the Asian hating of the last few years.
vi – this has finally annulled confecting of Smarties which was until then the avowed main reason for entrapment into ordination for ever after the Order of Gobbledygook.
vii – just when the spiritual basis for the Vatican City State Church has completely disappeared it claims ever more political hegemony.

Father Paul Prior was Director of formation in maynooth.
When in Maynooth, Father Prior was accused by a number of seminarians of quizzing them intensely and inappropriately about their sex lives – their sexual fantasies, their masturbation habits, their wet dreams etc, etc. This inappropriate questioning caused great distress among seminarians and was responsible for some leaving Maynooth. In spite of a number of complaints, the Maynooth authorities and the Irish bishops took no action and allowed Father Prior to continue as before.
Paul Prior left Maynooth in 2018 and was expected to return to his diocese of Kilmore in Cavan.
Instead he chose to join the Jesuits as a novice.
Two young Dublin lay men have lodged complaints against Paul Prior over his alleged contact with them in a Dublin Jesuit church – St Francis Xavier in Gardiner Street.
Both claim that Paul Prior questioned them in an inappropriate sexual manner.
One incident happened in the Confessional where the young man was told he would not get absolution if he did not answer the priest’s sexual questions.
The other young man claims his sexual interrogation in the church kitchenette.
The Jesuit provincial has met both young men and an investigation has begun.
Another Jesuit expressed the opinion that Father Prior was being protected “in order not to give Pat Buckley credibility”.
He is currently a pp in Cavan.

Why not some light on your suggestion that Pope John Paul’s Surname is misspelled or have you misspoke.
Grammatical pedantics is the refuge of the scoundrel – the veracity of JPII liaison with a married woman is a matter of public and historical record not hearsay or gossip but so veracious and incendiary the historical documents we’re purchased by the Polish nation and embedded in the archives very likely never to see the light of day.
Karol Wojtyla’s love affair (as far as we know platonic and unconsumed) was a betrayal of his vow of celibacy and her marriage vows (forsaking all others).
The truth will out but it can be painful to hear and denial, defensiveness and the grammar Nazi come out to play and are right out of the playbook and reveal as much as they conceal.

I think we have suffered the tragic loss of true friendship in modern society ie. Not just commonality but a desire for the good of the other.

If anyone wrote that today there would be a frenzy on social media. No wonder for all our loud connectedness, loliness has never been more prevalent than in our own time.
