The Great Clarification: time’s up

I’m about to go home for the evening. But I’ll leave you with this thought: Time’s up.

The Church has had 50 years of utter confusion. This is the time of the Great Clarification. The ones who want to abandon Christ will take this thing as their excuse, as it was intended.

The ones who love Christ and want to obey him will keep doing that.

Matthew 25: 31

“He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”

I’m thinking of just calling Francis, “Pope Winnowingfan,” from now on. The “conservative” compromise is over. The space – that has been narrowing for years – between the two agonizing choices for or against Him, has, today, clanged shut. Time’s up.

_“I predict that this period in the Church will be called by historians the “great clarification.” After decades of confusion and arguments over this or that interpretation of the outcome of Vatican II, we now see unfolding before us the indisputable results of it. The Church we have now in all its institutions from top to bottom is a product of the neo-modernist incursion that, it can no longer be disputed, became the most important issue in the Church of the late 20^th century onwards._

…

“The bottom line of all this is that the space in the Church once enjoyed by Traditionalists – or even those who have vaguely traditional-looking leanings – is now being closed. As is the little no-man’s land that is called “conservative” in the US. The administration in Rome are making it clear that there is only one way to be a Catholic that will be tolerated.

“The Francis Vatican is certainly going out of its way to make it clear what sort of Catholic is welcome to make vows in and devote themselves to the Church. The Great Clarification continues. The weird and confusing stand-off we have had in the Church for fifty years is quickly coming to an end. Thanks be to God for Francis for making it impossible to continue to live in this confusing and contradictory, compromised state of conservative denial. You can’t play Catholic in NuChurch.”
