Could Paul VI have done otherwise? It was the Holy Spirit that prevented Paul VI from teaching anything different to what the church has always taught on marriage and procreation.Aduliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534730218402742905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-84761598089949536072014-01-23T16:44:25.969+00:002014-01-23T16:44:25.969+00:00The Vatican behaved disgracefully towards both Min...The Vatican behaved disgracefully towards both Mindszenty and Lefebvre. Paul VI's pontificate was a disaster for the Church. Casaroli and Bugnini could have achieved nothing without his backing. I felt a deep sense of shame at the time, and there are still some very guilty consciences in Rome.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-7198041647789326142014-01-23T08:41:54.962+00:002014-01-23T08:41:54.962+00:00His Memoirs are very important reading.

He refused to purchase freedom by betraying the Church of Christ. He is the St Thomas More of modern Europe.)<br /><br />However, the Holy Father's desire to maintain relations with the Hungarian authorities at all costs led him to feel utterly betrayed, particularly when his See was declared vacant against his will: the last chapter of his book dealing with this is called <b> Complete and Total Exile </b>, and concludes: <i> 'This is the path I travelled to the end, and this is how I arrived at complete and total exile.' </i> He refers here not to his brutal treatment by the Hungarian regime, but his treatment by the Church for which he had suffered so much.

He spoken of in awe and prayed for intensively.<br />That he became an embarrassment to the Church hierarchy is to pinpoint the time when Catholicism began its slide into compromise with its enemies.<br />He was a true martyr, but who now remembers him?

In other words, he was never forgotten. This man was a symbol of the spirit of the Church Militant. God bless him. I like to think he was behind the election of Blessed John Paul II, spiritually.Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.com
