Cardinal Nichols has suggested that the priests' concerns would best have been communicated to the bishops privately, not through the press. I, respectfully, disagree. While I can see the argument about not doing the Church's dirty laundry in public, this letter is not an attack on anyone, just a statement of fidelity to the Church. For that is what fidelity to tradition in teaching and discipline is.
And this letter is not addressed to the bishops. No doubt the bishops will benefit from reading it, but the lay faithful and non-Catholics also need to read this letter, to gain a sense of what is at stake.

This is already happening, it has indeed been happening on one issue or another all over the Church for many years. If it starts happening universally, regardless of the attitude of the local bishop, fanned by the secular media and aided the civil authorities, the problems we have been having up to now will look like a picnic.

On this issue our priests are going to caught between the hammer and the anvil. We must accompany them, if necessary, into this valley of tears, on the Church's journey to the heavenly Jerusalem.
On why people in an objective state of sin cannot be given Holy Communion by a priests in good conscience, see here.
Sign the Filial Appeal on the Synod here.
Here is the letter to the Catholic Herald.
SIR – Following the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops in Rome in October 2014 much confusion has arisen concerning Catholic moral teaching. In this situation we wish, as Catholic priests, to re-state our unwavering fidelity to the traditional doctrines regarding marriage and the true meaning of human sexuality, founded on the Word of God and taught by the Church’s Magisterium for two millennia.

It was a little time ago that Bishop Egan of Portsmouth stated that politicians who voted for abortion and "gay marriage" should be refused Communion. He was slapped down by a "Spokesman for the Bishops Conference".
ReplyDeleteThen when Cdl Nichols came back from the Synod he went to the Press to tell them that he voted against the Traditional line outcome because it wasn't sufficiently caring, or something like that. Now he is objecting to Priests writing to the Press
And then as you regularly comment elsewhere, Mgr Loftus is able to write in the Press every week and yet no one does anything to stop that.
And of course, the master of all, in going to the Press, Pope Francis himself. But then I suppose that what he says is so full of double talk that it could be said to be thinking out loud, rather than actually giving an opinion.
Very well done to these 491 priests. I know two of them. In fact many years ago, one of them was responsible for me attending a few Saturday morning sessions for those considering entering the Priesthood. At least I know that he wasn't there under false pretences.
I just wish that a few more that I know had signed up.
