The Bitter Pill

I see failed priest Nicholas Lash is foaming at the mouth in the latest issue of The Tablet. I won't bother with a link as I see no reason to increase traffic to their site but predictably he is suffering a grand mal seizure brought on by the details of the Apostolic Constitution for Anglicans being announced.

There is no doubt the liberals don't like genuine ecumenical movement. Thank God for the Pope of Christian Unity.

The Pope of Christian Unity

Fr Z has a post suggesting we should refer to Pope Benedict XVI as "the Pope of Christian Unity".

I like that.

Considering what the Holy Father has managed to achieve in 4 short years that couldn't be achieved by vast swathes of liberal theologians over the last 40 years, the suggestion really does make sense.

Of priests and priestesses

There is a rather strange report on the "ordination" of a woman "priest on ABC.

Typically the report uses the liberal trick of reporting this as something more popular than it is ie an underground "phenomenon". The intention is of course to make normal people i.e. the majority who obey the teachings of the Church feel they are in the minority.

It's also sad that the Lutherans clearly have no problem with assisting in an act of excommunication. So much for ecumenicism!
