Even if it was well deserved, it's still petty.

He refused to resign and allegedly there are some deeper issues with his parish. What do you think Rome should have done instead?

idk, maybe the pope should not be so b-word made that he feels compelled to excommunicate someone every time his feelings get hurt

he could have used his words or had a conversation or anything. he didn't do any of that.

instead, he decided to act like a child.

that's just my opinion, though

American trads have been in near schism for a decade, pushing politics from the pulpit, and some of the clergy have turned to QAnon quackery. This is about more than some mean words.

he didn't do any of that.

How do you know?

Because if he did this wouldn't have happened and it wouldn't be news. Obviously.

Has it ever crossed your mind that there could have been private conversations and Strickland just refused to get back in line?

I doubt it.

Also the guys right. Restricting latin mass is fricking r-slurred and not something the pope should be doing.

It's fine to say, priests should say mass in the vernacular, but saying YOU CAN'T DO MASS IN LATIN UNLESS I SAY SO is moronic.

This pope thinks that's NOT OKAY, but if you want to suck peepee and dress like a woman, that's totally cool.

Frick this pope.

Rofl, you think you have any business dictating what the pope should be doing in a religion that revolves around the pope as the temporal and spiritual authority on Earth? You might be missing some important details about Catholicism.

but if you want to suck peepee and dress like a woman, that's totally cool

Yeah, no, he never said this but I guess if you just read trad rags then you might get this impression. Trads are just furious that the pope is telling them that "smear the queer" and being a vicious Pharisee might not be in line with Christ's message.

Frick this pope.

A pope doesn't even change doctrine but dares to treat gay people with kindness, and that's what leads you to rejecting papal authority? I'm so sorry the Pope isn't entertaining your "deus vult" LARP and edgy counter-cultural fantasies. Maybe you should try out fundamentalist Protestantism.

I'm not dictating anything. It's my PERSONAL OPINION that telling bishops they need HIS PERSONAL PERMISSION to conduct latin mass is fricking r-slurred.

The reasoning that he's trying to be "more open" or whatever doesn't even make sense. If he wants people to conduct mass in the vernacular, it's fine to just say that.

There's literally zero reason why you can't just idk... DO BOTH

When you start restricting people from giving mass in latin, that's when you go full fricking r-slur. IN MY PERSONAL OPINION.

>Yeah, no, he never said this

give it a year, we'll get there

>A pope doesn't even change doctrine but dares to treat gay people with kindness, and that's what leads you to rejecting papal authority?

I don't give a shit if the church accepts gays or not. Most of them already did and do here.

I just think it's dumb to say they have to do that but also say, no you can't give latin mass if you want to.

That's not "opening the church up" it's being a micro managing karen.

People like latin mass. Especially on Christmas.
