Celibacy is always, shall we say, an affront to what man normally thinks. It is something that can be done, and is only credible, if there is a God and if celibacy is my doorway into the kingdom of God.
In the name of tolerance, tolerance is being abolished; this is a real threat we face.
In proclaiming the faith and in administering the sacraments every priest speaks on behalf of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ.
Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world.
To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth – that is not living, but existing.
For all the dialogue that Bergoglio speaks about, he is not opposed to condemnation when it suits his interests, this time threatening to suspend all the priests of a diocese who refuse to regognise the bishop sent to them, appointeed by Pope Benedict in 2012. The man never tires of showing of his hypocrisy.
I suppose there can hardly be any more validation of Cardinal Sarah's observation on silence, wherein he states that
God is silence, and the devil is noisy
than to remember that Bergoglio is always talking, whereas his predecessor who tried to draw people to God, was frequently silent.
