What Is He Really Saying?

Father Zed deconstructs the heretical drivel of the Pope worshipping Austen Ivereigh.

 From Fr Z's Blog 
Ideologues are totalitarians.
There is a group of hard-core ideologues grouped around Francis.
As always, these ideologues demand that you deny the evidence of your senses, including common sense, and ignore the principle of non-contradiction.  It’s the alternate universe of 2+2=5. Their positions are irrational.  With nearly sycophantic dedication they take everything Francis does as oracular, even the things that he gets wrong. And, if you decline to accept their zeal as your own, then their attitude and actions become like to the Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution, a New catholic Red Guard.
That said, here’s something to consider.

The last time Newman was misread this badly, a libel case ensued and he wrote a book defending his good name. I wonder what he'll do this time around. https://twitter.com/austeni/status/1145614163655438336 …
Austen Ivereigh@austeni
One cannot help but imagine that Cardinal Newman, a famous opponent of papal infallibility, would delight to be canonised on Oct 13 by a pope who admits mistakes, calls himself a sinner, dislikes being put on a pedestal, & has restored the role of conscience. #Newmansaint #Newman

“Restored the role of conscience”.
What is he really saying?
That’s code for “Do whatever you want!” as in reception of Holy Communion by manifest adulterers and non-Catholics who don’t accept the Church’s teachings.

That’s code for pitting conscience against the teachings of the Church on a number of important issues including contraception and abortion.

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.
