A Highly Amusing Exchange of Tweets

You can't make this stuff up!

Matthew Schmitz, A Catholic who worships at the Altar of God and not at the altar of Francis, tweeted, 'Results of a little experiment in which I quoted the words of one of the Pope’s defenders. Many were suddenly able to see how crazy they were.'

The tweet that began the exchange,
'Someone's got to say it, Pope Francis breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants because he is “free from disordered attachments.” Our Church has indeed entered a new phase: with the advent of this first Jesuit pope, it is openly ruled by an individual rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture.'

To which, Massimo 'Beans' Faggioli, one of Francis's ardent defenders, replied, 'From a fellow Catholic who evidently never read or understood the constitution of Vatican II “Dei Verbum".'

There was only one small problem! Schmitz's original tweet was a direct quote from a blogpost by another of Francis's most ardent defenders, Fr Thomas Rosica, CSB, defender and promoter of all things LGBTQXYZ and heretical.

Here's the original, from Fr Rosica's blog,
Pope Francis breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants because he is “free from disordered attachments.” Our Church has indeed entered a new phase: with the advent of this first Jesuit pope, it is openly ruled by an individual rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture.

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.
