Off the top of my head:<br />Plfeger. <br />Greeley. And who claimed to have information on the "lavendar mafia" but George never forced him to reveal it--thus no interest in actually cleaning up his diocesan priesthood.<br />Dan McCormack<br />and now Fr. Barron is head of Mundelein forming priests after a smarmy eulogy of Greeley and squishy theology on hell. Mundelein remains Mundelein.<br /><br />Per 2. If a quiet letter about getting along without active protest is not yielding, what is?<br /><br />Per 3. If you had read your Aquinas, you'd find that Gentiles had come to mean pagans not converted to Christianity.<br />Cassandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-6356489742165292552013-11-19T09:35:57.817-06:002013-11-19T09:35:57.817-06:001.

Theologically speaking wouldn't we all be Gentiles since Peter and Paul eventually called both Gentiles and Jews into the Church; if you aren't one, you must be the other?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-85982914073411106642013-11-19T08:18:21.729-06:002013-11-19T08:18:21.729-06:00Actually this is all the more interesting consider...Actually this is all the more interesting considering Francis' recent sermon from Maccabees.<br /><br />http://www.osservatoreromano.va/portal/dt?JSPTabContainer.setSelected=JSPTabContainer%2FDetail&last=false=&path=/news/vaticano/2013/265q13-Messa-del-Papa-a-Santa-Marta.html&title=We%20do%20not%20negotiate%20our%20fidelity%20to%20God&locale=en<br /><br />Citing the Old Testament passage, he continued: 'Let us go and make a covenant with the Gentiles round about us; we cannot become isolated' or remain stuck in our old traditions. 'Let us go and make a covenant with them, for since we separated from them many evils have come upon us'. The proposal so pleased them, the Pope said, that some of the people eagerly went to see the king, to bargain with the king, to negotiate”.<br /><br />While ++George is not endorsing this law by any means, he is suggesting we make peace with it for social harmony so that "evils do come upon us". Bit by bit the Church leaders yield and make peace with the Gentiles. After so many decades of doing this, there are no defenses or defenders left with which to make any kind of stand.Cassandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-2882158477976835072013-11-18T21:38:49.226-06:002013-11-18T21:38:49.226-06:00Here. http://www.archchicago.org/bulletin/other/S...Here. http://www.archchicago.org/bulletin/other/SameSexMarriage_LetterCardinal.pdf<br />Pretty weak.
