To Demonstrate Collegiality A La Pope Francis, Progressive Prelates Hold Hush-Hush Meeting To Complain About Traditional Faithful Catholics

Another look at the invitation-only meeting of Cupich and other heretical hierarchs to 'support Francis' and plan the destruction of Tradition.

Much of the internet is ablaze with discussions about some local activists who came across bodies of children murdered by abortion and their subsequent arrests. I will have much to say about this very soon, but first I am in the process of verifying some facts.

Meanwhile, much mischief is afoot in progressive circles of the Catholic Church. Last week the pope engaged in what some hope is a consecration of Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart. The question is whether or not the consecration happened in accord with the stipulations set forth by Our Lady of Fatima. I'm no theologian, but it appears to me that at least Pope Francis' prayer came a lot closer to those specifications than did those of his predecessors. Now did the bishops of the world join him? That is questionable.

One bunch of prelates who most likely did not join him was a gaggle of progressive bishops who met in Chicago during the time of the consecration. The meeting itself was rather secretive and people came only by invitation. The organizers admitted the existence of this gathering only because some media got wind of it. One Mad Mom has a write-up on it as does Complicit Clergy.

One prelate who was in attendance was Cardinal Maradiaga, who has the pope's ears on many matters. Since this gabfest happened in Chicago, we can be certain that Cardinal Cupich at least gave his blessing for it and most likely participated.

They attempted to put forth the image of Francis' papacy as carrying on the work of Vatican II - as if that's a good thing. They are concerned - very concerned, I tell you - about "opposition to the pope", people "looking to the old liturgy", "the impact of moneyed conservative influence in Catholic social movements" and "reluctance of some U.S. dioceses to implement the grassroots consultation process". They also blathered about "collegiality". Yes, nothing exudes "collegiality" like having secretive meetings by select invitation only. Keep it us guys, and keep demonstrating why you all don't deserve one dime of our contribution dollars.
