Return To Tradition — Heretic Bishop Calls On Leo To Change The Commandments. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Brought to you by PrayLatin.com, makers of prayer cards featuring complete English phonetic renderings of Latin pronunciations. It does appear that Pope Leo has taken upon himself to continue the work of Pope Francis in recrafting the Catholic Church in Francis' image and likeness. But we have a story today of one of Leo's new cardinals, one of his new archbishop's who will be a cardinal, demanding that the church be a little more open-minded to changes in the commandments and laws of the church. It's an amazing story. It goes back to the basic problem we have now in Rome. It goes back to the Vatican finances, all of it. And that is, of course, the now-tired old saying of personnel's policy. It's going to worry a TV, the EN New Service, with this headline, Leo XIV's future cardinals,
soft, emotional, less masculine. Less masculine is being nice. Some of us got in trouble when we pointed out that the new cardinal archbishop of New York looks like he'd be pretty at home in certain neighborhoods in San Francisco. Some of us have a good, a pretty good skill of spotting people like this because we come from cities that have a large number of people like with those inclinations, and so we get pretty good at spotting them as a survival mechanism. And you have these kind of weak modernists suddenly taking over the, are being the predominant members of the Episcopal appointments pushed by Leo. They're all political activists, and virtually all of them have our hostile to tradition, to capital-teach tradition, and are open supporters of James Martin. It appears a very short article. Miguel Escriva analyzes on Infobata Cana, the Episcopal appointments of Leo XIV that may
have strategic significance. He looks to those positions where becoming a cardinal is almost assured. Philippo Anone, prefect of the Necastria for bishops, he also grew in Vidal Archbishop of Vienna, status-loved Pitbull, Archbishop of Prague, and Ronald A. Hicks, Archbishop of New York. Escriva wants to glimpse what type of cardinal is beginning to emerge as a reference point to the new pontificate. He called Leo XIV's type of church leader, a quote, post-conflictual clergy. That is, media-friendly, focused on dialogue and process, meaning sonotal, avoiding clear doctrinal confrontation and shifting the church's direction without declaring it. Philippo Anone, the prefect for the Necastria, bishops has a technocratic profile, as identified with juridical canonical apparatus of Rome. He's a Roman insider. He will shape the Episcopal body from above with soft, manageable, and doctrinally porous profiles. Archbishop Grunvidl of Vienna is the boldest toward the abyss of heterodoxy.
He wants female deacons and very priests. Stanislav Predbull, one of my apologies to the people whose language I am utterly destroying here, uses language about overcoming polarization, building bridges, listening, dialogue, and learning from the sonotal process. And Ronald Hicks is closely associated with the anti-Catholic cardinal play Superchef Chicago, whose auxiliary and vicar general he was before moving to Juliet. He spoke of the smell of the sheep, avoiding divisions, walking with the wounded, prioritizing healing, and mission-centered governance. He phrase, these profiles convey a weakened, priestly masculinity, softer gestures, less paternal authority, a greater inclination toward emotional and relational language, less ascetical density and less gravity and sacrality. According to these, to Ascriva, these bishops are more dangerous than old progressives who created conflict and resistance because they change the church quietly.
And that is what makes Leo so dangerous. That's fitting right into a style. He dresses the way you expect a Pope to dress. When he speaks, he often sounds the way you expect a modern Pope to speak. He seems kindly, he doesn't have all the personality problems that Francis had. But then he appoints weird men, some of them very wicked, to positions of authority. I've had a hard time finding a good, episcopal appointment from him. He keeps some of the worst around him still, Fernandez, Roach, and the like. He is quietly remaking the episcopate. So you get more bishops who will and practice look like this one, also from GloryTV. Brazil bishops invites James Martin type groups into his home. What are wise you, with some exceptions, maybe if a bishop or priest comes from a wealthy family, that the bishops' home is probably his rectory or some other church property.
So Brazil bishops invites James Martin groups into church property. Bishop Arnaldo Calvejero Neto of Hyundai, Brazil hosts a meeting of such groups from the state of São Paulo at his episcopal residence on March 1st. The gathering began with a Eucharist wonderful in the chapel of the episcopal house, with participants gathered around the altar. The results also whining dialogue about the challenges these groups face in the church. Since October 2025, the bishop has served as the reference bishop for the national network of James Martin Catholic groups within the Brazilian bishops' conference. During the meeting, he described these groups, which are defined by a vice of the flesh as a theological space based on spirituality, charity, and education. So these are groups who are not resisting their inclinations. Again, we are never ever critiquing Catholics who have an inclination. Most of the people watching this will never understand, but who live as Catholics are supposed to live, who
live as the church commands us to live. And they are resisting. And when they fall down and fail to resist, when they sin, they get back up, they go to confession, and they follow what the church tells them to do, and they live as the church does to the best of their ability. I am not critiquing those associated with like courage, international, and groups like that. Because such people would never join a group that calls itself a network of these kinds of Catholic groups. They would never do that. These are the heretics. These are those who are so wrapped up in their flesh that they think the church and scripture got it wrong. These are people who commit grave sacrilege every time they receive the Eucharist. And this bishop allowed such in his home, which is a church property. And that's why this story is so important. This story comes to us from Catholic rule from the Catholic herald. Under the headline, Archbishop of Vienna suggests church should remain open
to changes in commandments and laws. What are we doing? What are we doing? Changes in commandments and laws. The Archbishop of Vienna was appointed by Pope Leo. The Archbishop of Vienna has suggested that the Catholic church must be willing to consider changes not only to its pastoral practice, but even to its commandments and laws. Speaking during a mass held as part of the Austrian Bishop's conference, Spring Plenary Assembly, Archbishop Joseph Grunvidilth argued that ecclesiastical rules must ultimately serve the salvation of souls, rather than becoming rigid ends in themselves. Well, at least he invoked the salvation of souls. That's nice. A homily delivered on March 11th at the parish church of whom I'm not going to mispronounce that, during the bishop's four-day meeting in the Eastern Stereo, was the most prominent intervention from the Archbishop since this appointment to Vienna last year. He said that the churches need for commandments and regulations was undisputed,
a warn that they should not exist merely to regulate behavior. Instead, he said they should assist believers to encounter God and deepen their lives according to the gospel. They should help people encounter God and be led more deeply into a life according to the gospel, presenting the church as legal tradition of something ordered towards pastoral care, rather than an inflexible system. The Archbishop appointed to situations in which Catholics find themselves intentioned with the current norms of canon law, particularly those related to, of course, marriage and family life. Referring specifically to those who are divorced and civilly remarried, as well as to relationships that do not correspond to Catholic teaching on marriage, he suggested that pastoral engagement must go beyond the mere application of rules, where these people there are regulations and prohibitions in canon law, but it insisted that the church's task was to discuss the individual's life and faith situation with them and find a pastoral solution that helps in the heels. His remarks went further when he indicated that open as to pastoral solutions might eventually involve deeper institutional change. Grunvidol said he hoped that the church would remain open to changes,
including changes to church commandments and laws. If such developments helped to lead people weren't deeply into a life oriented towards God. The implication here is that the church tells you to do things that actually harm your relationship with God. Imagine the thinking behind that. The church was founded by Jesus Christ on the rock of Peter, guided in all truth by the Holy Ghost. How could the Holy Ghost lead the church to lead people in a way that doesn't help them leave a deeply oriented life with God? How? How was that possible? Unless, of course, your bishop doesn't believe any of that. The archbishop also used his holiday to refer to a recent synod of final report examining women's participation in the life and leadership of the church. We're calling prominent women in scriptures and the life of Jesus, he argued that the gospel itself provided a precedent for listening or attentively to female voices. Women weren't as well entourage, he said, a publicly-don't-center was allowed to touch him and not impossible, but Mary Magdalene. A woman
was the first witness to the resurrection. From this biblical perspective, he continued the church should become more attentive to women's contributions within its structures of decision-making. I trust that our church will become more Jesus-like, and more in accordance with the gospel when we are synod-al. Walking together, listening more to the voices of women and including them in decision-making processes. He acknowledged that such developments could entail significant institutional adjustments. Of course, he said it would involve changes to church regulations and centuries-old traditions. Yet he framed the possibility and performed through a theological lens rather than a purely structural one. Looking to the example of Christ, he said that Jesus himself did not always conform to the religious expectations of his time, when fidelity to gods will require something more radical. What comes from the Holy Spirit cannot be stopped by Candola, he said. In other words, Candola doesn't reflect the Holy Spirit's guidance of the church, synodality does.
Sounds suspiciously schismatic to me, but then again, I'm not a cardinal or assumed to be cardinal archbishop of the Catholic Church. Very good. We're very curious what you think about this. Does that archbishop sound like what the glory TV article I've started with suggested? Kind of bishop who is malleable and weak and prone to trying to change things without causing waves. A more subtle approach than something like fiducius supplicans and amorous latitsia. Let me know what you think of this in the comments please.
