WHAT'S RIGHT AND WRONG WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH #239


Rapid Response for MONDAY, May 27, 2019

POPE FRANCIS CONTINUES TO FLIRT WITH THE BASIC PROBLEM INHERENT IN THE "RELIGION" OF ISLAM.
Islam is not only a Religion; it is a Secular Government, with secular Sharia Law injecting itself throughout the lives of practising Muslims. And that is what makes the acceptance and support of Muslims in non-Muslim countries untenable. It is Sharia Law that is unacceptable.
This was the structure - and the inherent weakness - of the Catholic Church for many centuries until the Laity refused to abide by that structure, formalized in the Lateran Treaty in Italy.
I witnessed that first-hand in 1950 in the little town of Colonnella, Abruzzi, Italy, my father's hometown. The entire Faithful went to Mass on Sunday. When the  priest left the altar to give his homily, all the men left the church - to have a smoke. They returned when the priest returned to the altar.
Among the several other flash points among the Laity that the Holy Father is choosing to ignore - or to treat with "ambiguity", his incursions into the secular life of Italy, Italians and the Faithful everywhere with his broadsides about international migration and migrants stand out as an unwise return to Church involvement in secular life. For such inclinations, he will not be attacked. Worse, he will be ignored - as we all go out "to have a smoke". Very disappointing.
