A little correction to our leaders are justified and needed. Thank you Pope Francis!

11 My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD Or loathe His reproof, 12 For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. 13 How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding
Pro 3;11-13

who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding
Pro 9;7-10

We should all bare healthy criticism well.

Absolutely, as we are all human and tempted by sins, especially living around such wealth and power.

We should all bare healthy criticism well.

What about all the healthy criticism dished out by the mainstream media?

The Church will always be above the secular and the profane. There are some people who want us to adapt and be more “accepting” of it. I think getting involved in media driven popular minority issues on sexuality was something that the Church has no place or involvement in but was driven by these same people. The mainstream media should be ignored

I’d like to see the spiritual sickness of Bishops who support recognition of same sex unions added to the list.

I believe he is just making the Curia a much** healthier group of leaders**. Nothing more.

On the contrary, I would hope he is making the Curia a much* holier* group of leaders…nothing more.

Wow. When I do Eucharistic Adoration I am always amazed at how many men I see there. I sit there thinking how holy they are, or at least are aspiring to be. I am feeling a little disillusioned…

At my local church, you need to make an appointment if off-hours. And there are four or five women who have the keys to the place. I kid you not.

Excellent point…how effeminate should the Church actually become?

Your statement assumes that the true nature of the Church is masculine (effeminacy by definition is feminine characteristics in a man). Why is that? Is there something wrong with femininity? Is She not the Bride of Christ?

It could be said that He is the Body of Christ (see Ephesians) 😃

Yes, but I don’t think femininity is the same thing as feminism.
