The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. My Pledge-Nulla dies sine linea-Not a day with out a line.

In Twenty Years: Half of the Contemplative Monasteries in Europe Will Be Gone
Sad, sad news. And lies from the Cardinal. Vatican II and Francis may succeed where the Revolution failed. They may finally destroy the contemplative Orders.
From Gloria.tv
Contradicting reality, Cardinal João Braz de Aviz, the Vatican responsible for consecrated life, claimed during a September 24/25 meeting of religious in Baar, Switzerland, that the Second Vatican Council “has again valorised the importance of religious life” and “returned” to the charism of the founders.
In reality the council was the main cause for a secularisation and disbandment of Catholic religious life.
De Aviz himself admitted that in the next twenty years half of the contemplative monasteries in Europe will be closed down.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
