Certain passages have been criticized already years before his appointment at the head of CDF, and not only in comboxes, but also by competent theologians like Fr. M.

Most parish priests were embarrassed by or ignorant of Catholic doctrine. The trads I knew wondered about the orthodoxy of our bishop because of the kind of container he used once during mass when more showed up than expected. All a mess very familiar from Peregrine Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920049378071953184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-56683506453078039592017-10-03T11:03:51.199+01:002017-10-03T11:03:51.199+01:00Does that mean putting Cardinal Burke back as a me...Does that mean putting Cardinal Burke back as a member of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura is an attempt to muzzle him?motupropriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261356560114077508noreply@blogger.com
