It is one thing to talk about how Christians should be united in prayer, but to explain the our Father to the Orthodox? And should he be doing the former if he himself hasn't done much to advance reconciliation with the Orthodox? He may not see his office as a principal stumbling block and the Romanian Orthodox might have been polite and not mentioned it but isn't there more that can be done, and should he not, if he is the first of the bishops, do something on that front?

Just saw an Amish girl and was like "dang, she's hot."
Then I realized, she's not really that hot. She's just in a dress, has no tattoos, is simply kept and that American women are so ugly I'M STARTING TO THINK AMISH IS HOT!!! #fuck

The Illich-McCarrick Connection
From a Berkeley Center interview with Theodore McCarrick: A Discussion with Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, D.C.
Nobody knew quite where studying sociology would take me. The famous philosopher, Monsignor Ivan Illich, had urged me to focus on sociology. He was a great scholar, a genius. He was like “a river without banks,” as someone once described him to me. He later left the ministry, and yet he had an influence on Latin American thought in a very special way. Some said, “Go and study sociology as an academic discipline so you can go teach in the seminary.” And others said, “Go and look at it as a research tool, so you can work in the chancery.” And others said, “You can build on sociology as a means of working with the poor, and then you can come and work with Catholic Charities.” And ultimately, I tried to do all three.Not a very big connection.
Triumph of the Mediocre
Unable to separate the office from the personal? Or do we have a third-world papacy, in which personal connections matter more than procedural justice?

Francis, in short, believed the explanation of his friend over and against the evidence.

Isn't there someone in the Curia who is supposed to do the spinning for him?
He never heard anything about McCarrick but he knows that Catholics in China are happy to be united now? Did he talk to the majority of underground bishops? Did he even bother to contact Cardinal Zen? Cardinal Zen must be one of those few dissatisfied Catholics.

Hasn't the Patriarchate of Rome Already Decided?
How many European Latin Catholic bishops with sees in Europe can be considered based? Perhaps there are some in Poland and Eastern Europe.

Let's blame the devil, and then?
Of course in spiritual warfare one must fight through prayer and other acts. But what else is needed to rectify the current situation in the institutional church? Is the latest motu proprio enough? Msgr. Pope, agreeing with Bishop Robert Barron, thinks so:
True Reform Will Come — If You and I Remain Steadfast by Msgr. Charles Pope
As the U.S. Bishops’ June meeting draws near, it’s time for faithful Catholics to regain our focus
Given the continuing breakdown of all traditional roles and failure of the bishops to police themselves, the question is whether the laity should be doing anything else in addition to prayer. According to one model of church authority, no. But what does our Lord want? What if He expects the laity to have a part as well? What if the problem is clericalism, just not in the way outlined by the current bishop of Rome? We pray for our sake, but we may also petition for our Lord to bring about reform through men, but will we recognize authentic reform if our leaders cling absolutely to old institutional structures and practices in the name of "Tradition," failing to differentiate between what size divinely given or instituted from what was initiated or adopted through human positive law (if we can even assume that such law was legitimate or valid in the first place).

Memento Mori
A reminder for Christians, but especially those who will be stuck in blue urban areas when things really get bad.
