Will they get rid of the sanctity or indissolubility of marriage (or at any rate undermine it)? Will the undermine or airbrush or contradict Humanae Vitae? With very few exceptions I have absolutely no confidence or trust in the Catholicity, orthodoxy or strength of character of the hierarchy, most of whom are hirelings, careerists, worldly yes-men and milquetoasts. There are honourable exceptions and their weakness varies in degrees. I pray that God protects His Church. If doctrine is undermined at the Synod, so will my faith in the Church. Then I'd rather be an Anglican. They have no doctrine, but at least have taste and good manners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-55274937725415176642014-04-11T03:20:46.540+01:002014-04-11T03:20:46.540+01:00An Old Mexican Proverb:

Effectively all marriages will be annulled and the Church is going to start again from scratch. Those who want to stay married can do so and those who require annulment will be granted one with minimal fuss if any at all. <br /><br />What of the future? If we can annul marriages en masse in 2014, could not the Church in 2064 annul us? More significantly, could not the Church annul anything from the past? Where does this leave the Second Vatican Council for example? Could it too be annulled at some point in the future?<br /><br />Sadie Vacantisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823532366874114366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-6382055018557589132014-04-09T16:22:54.603+01:002014-04-09T16:22:54.603+01:00We require not to be conservatives but reactionari...We require not to be conservatives but reactionaries.

I am certainly not saying anywhere 'reason alone' substitutes for faith and revelation, which is what VI rightly denounces.<br /><br />Increasingly we will find the truth of your quote from the Vatican Council, as we find, in fact are finding, our reasoning and rationalism questioned.Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-76595765190996723652014-04-08T20:43:38.466+01:002014-04-08T20:43:38.466+01:00This - "Our faith is entirely rational, indee...This - "Our faith is entirely rational, indeed it may be arrived at by reason but we cannot replace it with reason." savours of heresy.<br /><br />"If anyone says that in divine revelation there are contained no true mysteries properly so-called, but that all the dogmas of the faith can be understood and demonstrated by properly trained reason from natural principles: let him be anathema." - Vatican I, canon 4, On Faith and Reason.Thomas Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980801293936196097noreply@blogger.com
