I suspect that the problems of the Church were no different from any other institution from the period. Namely, from 1945 onwards, Western Europe started paying the USA protection money, via dollar hegemony, from the threat of the Soviets. The Catholic Church also started paying "tribute" to the "New Rome" and that is essentially where we are today. It also explains all these wars in the Middle East as the American century project clashes with Islam. Davies is naif if he thinks that this might have been halted.Sadie Vacantisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823532366874114366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-56349799271965480872014-10-23T00:59:05.547+01:002014-10-23T00:59:05.547+01:00Yes, Fr.

The interview with John Bishop is still available at this link here:<br /><br />http://www.christianorder.com/features/features_2004/features_dec04.html<br /><br />More details were recounted in an earlier interview he did, however, I haven't been able to locate a source for that one - yet.<br /><br />However, irrespective of the circumstances surrounding his elevation, nothing is more revealing about Cardinal Kasper than his own words:<br /><br />"[A] divine intervention in the sense of a directly visible action of God is theological nonsense. (Jesus the Christ, 1974)"<br /><br />We have had a long heretical litany ever since. His bigotry towards the Africans and the lying denials of his own words merely sum up a long ecclesiastical career of treachery to all that is good and holy. <br /><br /><br />Deacon Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549825303646357455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-40714800459077670012014-10-22T23:36:18.332+01:002014-10-22T23:36:18.332+01:00Kaspar should be given a position where he can do ...Kaspar should be given a position where he can do no harm.

Look at the lack of leadership in the English Church for years.<br /><br />To put the blame on one group of bishops or even the pope is naive.<br /><br />Modernism has stalked the Church for almost 200 years...this generation of bishops, including our Pope most likely never opened Thomas Aquinas while in seminary or on their own.<br /><br />The rot is not new, only now seen by some Catholics, who for some reason have not seen it in the past.<br /><br />The Church has weathered worst storms and will weather this one, but leaving a strong remnant. Kasper is merely the joker in the pack. We know where to find the truth.<br /><br />As to the laity acting shocked-we should look to our own families. How many British Catholics have ignored Humanae Vitae? How many Catholics have not taught their children orthodoxy, pushing that responsibility onto liberal schools?<br /><br />The laity gets the leaders it has created in the Modernist culture of the Church at every level.<br /><br />Do you want excellent bishops? Train your children in orthodoxy, parents. Single people, pray, do penance and stop blaming others for the state of the Church.Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-8248184507664019082014-10-22T02:33:37.407+01:002014-10-22T02:33:37.407+01:00I was distressed to read the following observation...I was distressed to read the following observation of Father Z. in his blog post of today:<br /><br />"“Finally, I think that His Holiness is starting to feel – in an intense new way – what it really means to be the Vicar of Christ, the Successor of Peter.

Michael Davies recounted the incident in one of his last interviews before his death.<br /><br />Apparently the German bishops prevailed upon the Polish bishops to twist JPII's arm. There was a lot of controversy about these appointments at the time in the Catholic press. Kasper had come out strongly against Dominus Iesus, but both Kasper and Lehmann had been in hot water with JPII for providing counselling certificates for women so that they could obtain abortions. They had also signed petitions in the late 90's asking for divorced and remarried Catholics to be re-admitted to Holy Communion. As you can imagine, this did not put them at the top of JPII's Christmas card list.Deacon Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549825303646357455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-34888362192363491052014-10-21T22:31:40.009+01:002014-10-21T22:31:40.009+01:00Deacon Augustine, Where did you read that?Deacon Augustine, Where did you read that?Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-33230812336208775002014-10-21T22:29:45.468+01:002014-10-21T22:29:45.468+01:00An interesting piece of news from the Vatican Insi...An interesting piece of news from the Vatican Insider blog tells us that the English bishops at the Synod have agreed that this year we will be allowed to eat meat on Boxing Day even though it falls on a Friday.Pelerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243859145007696053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-78449394377244553522014-10-21T22:28:37.554+01:002014-10-21T22:28:37.554+01:00"Kasper makes more threats."
True to fo..."Kasper makes more threats."<br /><br />True to form then because that is how he was appointed a Cardinal in the first place. According to then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, JPII did not want to give the red hat to either Kasper or Lehmann. But the German bishops threatened to withdraw funding for the Polish Church if they were overlooked and JPII caved in. Their names were added to the list separately about 2 days before the consistory. <br /><br />They were made Cardinals only because of blackmail. Kasper's recent behaviour is simply consistent with the way he has always operated. Pope Frank should beware the company he keeps.Deacon Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549825303646357455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-81826967258624380782014-10-21T22:07:20.708+01:002014-10-21T22:07:20.708+01:00Love it that this blatant liar got caught red hand...Love it that this blatant liar got caught red handed. So what else has he lied about? Can think of a bishop or two "close to home" who lied big time to a certain priest in the Southwark diocese who is owed an apology big time from his bishop and archbishop who lied to him. Said bishop and archbishop aren't fit to carry that particular guy's, to put it mildly "athletic supporter."gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-64634001227428272782014-10-21T21:05:36.028+01:002014-10-21T21:05:36.028+01:00Thank you, Father, for reminding us (I had forgott...Thank you, Father, for reminding us (I had forgotten) that the German bishops are also (or at least were recently) pornographers.Simon Platthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196039882299400327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-41577216491844790232014-10-21T20:17:35.168+01:002014-10-21T20:17:35.168+01:00I began to think that I was imagining things befor...I began to think that I was imagining things before reading your blog Father but it seems that my imagination is not on overtime mode after all. What are we to do? If such men as Cardinal Kasper et al make sufficient noise how are we to know what the truth is? No doubt they & their ilk can sway many & leave those of us who want the truth stumbling.
