Rosica Alert: "Francis IS the new evangelisation"

Rosica Alert: "Pope Francis IS the new evangelisation" - silly Catholic, you thought it was all about Christ!
I've written it before, sometimes
this blog just writes itself. No sooner did I write in the post below about
"the Rosicas of the world" who perpetuate the narrative myth about
the positive outcomes of the "Francis Effect," comes this little gem
by no less than Tom Rosica, himself.
We call these moments of theological
and communicative brilliance,
"Rosicanisms."
Perhaps, rather than conjecture and
anecdotes, Tom Rosica, a member of the collapsing Basilian Congregation and the
Executive Producer of the little watched and less relevant, Salt + Light
Television, and not so-regular Vatican spox anymore, might wish to put forward
some scientific research about how that "new evangelization" is actually
going.
The latest research is that
attendance at Holy Mass and the sacraments, the only true measurement of
Catholic practice is plummeting. This is true in North America and in Europe
where the Church continues to bleed adherents, Mass attendees and paying out
damages to victims of priests for buggery and the bishops who covered it up.
Yet, Father Rosica, coined the
phrase, "The Francis Effect." We, here at Vox, know more about
"The Rosica Effect," which continues to improve every day.
He continues to try to convince one
and all that the Pope is actually bringing people back to the Church, back to
Christ. You would have to be an idiot to actually think this is happening. Has
anyone seen the crowds at the Vatican lately? It was said, that in the past,
people "came to see John Paul II but to hear Benedict XVI" as a way
of describing the enormous crowds who came to listen to them proclaim Christ.
The people aren't stupid, they know when they are being sold a bowl of rotten
fruit based on the Masonic ideals of "dialogue" and
"encounter."
Rosica states that the "pope
isn't inventing new doctrines." But readers to Vox know this well, that is not how doctrine is invented, is it?
"Will this Pope re-write controversial Church doctrines? No. But that isn't how doctrine changes. Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge such that particularly doctrinal formulations no longer mediate the saving message of God's transforming love. Doctrine changes when the Church has leaders and teachers who are not afraid to take note of new contexts and emerging insights. It changes when the Church has pastors who do what Francis has been insisting: leave the securities of your chanceries, of your rectories, of your safe places, of your episcopal residences go set aside the small minded rules that often keep you locked up and shielded from the world."
With
that quote, (originating at the
NCReporter) Father Thomas J. Rosica, on numerous occasions, laid out the
plans of the Synod on the Family. A fact that is now so well known as
we have conclusive proof that Francis himself favours the sacrilege of
Holy Communion for adulterers. A disgraceful position for the Vicar of
Christ, a scandal to the faithful and a betrayal of Our Lord.
If Father Rosica and Jorge Bergoglio
wish to fill the Churches (with paying fans),
it’s not going to be by postulating the papolatry of Francis as the new evangelisation come to earth and his
"god of surprises."
