Apotheoun Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 CNN - Why next pope must open up church and usher in Vatican III by Paul Donovan Editor's note: Paul Donovan is a lifelong Catholic and a commentator, writer and broadcaster who has contributed to The Guardian, Tablet, Universe, Irish Post and Independent Catholic News. (CNN) -- The announcement of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI came as a bolt from the blue to the world but not a moment too soon for many Catholics. The Catholic Church has continued to march backwards under Pope Benedict, seeming at times to be in a state of perpetual denial, whether the issue be that of child abuse, birth control, homosexuality or the role of women. At the heart of the church there lies a deep chauvinism that seems to have infected the whole edifice.

Yes. It is usually an indicator that what is about to come is not all that Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Catholic Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Article basically nails it. The Church is suffering from the same problems as the GOP. Retreating backwards into the dark only reinforces the problems that the Church is suffering from. Time for someone to open up a new era and return to what Jesus and Peter wanted.
