GLOVES ARE OFF!
.. Rev. Thomas Reese, an American Jesuit and editor of Catholic magazine America was ordered forced out by the Vatican's Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith which was then headed by Cardinal Ratzinger last March before the latter became Benedict XVI. This is the opening salvo of the so called "purification of the church" to be instituted by Benedict XVI's ambition to purify the church of what he calls misfits and evildoers - Jesuit and liberals all, homosexuals, feminists and ordinary Catholics in general who refuse to follow the Church's Magisterium or teaching office. This is in line with Cardinal Ratzinger's ambition to renew the church and make it more holy, a second 1000 years transformation that will be led by religious zealots and messianic conservatives like Opus Dei who believe that the Second Vatican Council went too far in its mandate to reform the Church to address the issues of the modern world.
This is a sign that Benedict XVI will not tolerate dissent in the Catholic Church and won't mind people who are disloyal to leave. Then Cardinal Ratzinger favored a smaller church, a "creative minority" that will stand as a witness to Christ's revelation against the forces of modernity. Benedict XVI and majority of the conservative cardinals who voted him to office believe that the Holy Spirit whispered to them that liberals are anti-Christ and white Catholic Europe can still be saved and restored to its manifest destiny even as the Church grows in the fringes of black Africa and brown Asia.
In a time when the Catholic church competes head to head with the growing influence of militant Islam and fundamentalist Protestantism for souls, Benedict XVI and his cohort of modern day "Pharisees" seek to deny cafeteria Catholics communion and believe Grace and Revelation are only for the purified few - celibates and doctrinally pure Catholics who see sexual purity of mind and body more important than millions of people in Asia and Africa dying of AIDS. This is the Catholic Church's version of Stalin's infamous motto "The death of an individual is tragic, the death of a million is merely a statistic." The purity of the Catholic church must be down to the last individual, the rest of humanity condemned to hell for tolerating the cardinal sins of selfishness - masturbation, premarital and extramarital sex, homosexual acts and homosexual marriage and women who seek to be equal in temporal church power with Bishops who are in direct lineage to St. Peter and who the hierarchy believe are the only custodians of the Truth as specially revealed to them by the Holy Spirit in their time of prayer and conversations with God. Never mind greed, self-righteousness, intellectual pride and absolute temporal power over a billion souls as long as one is doing God's holy whispered words.
It is the beginning of the modern Dark Ages of the Catholic Church and liberals are the new Protestants who may give to give birth to the modern Church of the catacombs, or like the Eastern Orthodox Church, inflict permanent self-excommunication. Christ may have to rush his second coming to correct this usurpation of His heavenly power by the almighty Cardinals led by Heil Benedict.
God bless us !
