CHRISTIANITY / HERETICS
One of the most talked about, and celebrated articles of 2023, no joke, is "Imaging a Heretical Cardinal" published on the First Things website. The author, Cardinal Thomas J. Paprocki of the Springfield, Illinois archdiocese, is the hero of the hour. He's a trained canon lawyer, who truly understands church law and church history.
So what did he do to garner so much attention? Basically he's calling about those "leaders" in the Catholic church who are embracing the false religion of LGBT. No doubt, many of those leaders are probably members in good standing in the First Church of LGBT. It's no secret that the gays have successfully infiltrated just about every Christian denomination in the west, and are working day and night to mold traditional churches into bastions of LGBT ideology.
So here's what Cardinal Paprocki had to say:
"Imagine if a cardinal of the Catholic Church were to publish an article in which he condemned “a theology of eucharistic coherence that multiplies barriers to the grace and gift of the eucharist” and stated that “unworthiness cannot be the prism of accompaniment for disciples of the God of grace and mercy.” Or what if a cardinal of the Catholic Church were to state publicly that homosexual acts are not sinful and same-sex unions should be blessed by the Church?
"Until recently, it would be hard to imagine any successor of the apostles making such heterodox statements. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon today to hear Catholic leaders affirm unorthodox views that, not too long ago, would have been espoused only by heretics. “Heretic” and “heresy” are strong words, which contemporary ecclesiastical politeness has softened to gentler expressions such as “our separated brethren” or “the Christian faithful who are not in full communion with the Catholic Church.” But the reality is that those who are “separated” and “not in full communion” are separated and not in full communion because they reject essential truths of “the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). Thus, it is deeply troubling to consider the possibility that prelates holding the office of diocesan bishop in the Catholic Church may be separated or not in full communion because of heresy."
