To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth – that is not living, but existing.
In proclaiming the faith and in administering the sacraments every priest speaks on behalf of Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ.
Homosexuality is incompatible with the priestly vocation. Otherwise, celibacy itself would lose its meaning as a renunciation.
“If you believe what you like in the Gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.”
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.
It creeps me out to agree with Kasper on anything, but I would have to agree with him that Bergoglio's silence on contraception revelas that Bergoglio is in favour of it.
However, even in that statement Kasper cannot help but be true to himself and lie.
