"ANOTHER REVOLUTION"

[arisbe]

"One of the men being heavily promoted to become our next pope is the notorious Dionigi Tettamanzi, the Cardinal-archbishop of Milan. This has caused great apprehension among orthodox Catholics concerned about the future of the Church. Tettamanzi is frequently described in the media as a 'conservative,' but in reality, from what I have been told, there is nothing conservative about him. He is -- I quote trusted sources -- a 'wolf-in-sheep's clothing,' a dangerous innovator, who, if given a chance, might make John XXIII and Paul VI look like Hard-Right Traditionalists -- I kid you not -- Tettamanzi's detractors believe he would usher in ANOTHER REVOLUTION were he to become pope."

Of course some of my readers don't think that would be so bad...

Brief Reflections...

[joffridus.livejournal.com]

This article, it seems to me, shows a real lack of trust in the Holy Spirit to do His work in the Church.

I mean, I see how this article could be written by, perhaps, a Protestant who didn't believe the Holy Spirit was at work in the College of Cardinals, but, according to Roman Catholic theology, is it not the case that the Holy Spirit is guiding her?

I mean, claims like, "the Church as we know it will be over" seem to be a little over the top.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe the Church as they know it would be over, and maybe it should be over!

True.
