Edit: this groomer has been at this for a long time. You might wonder what Bergoglio’s predecessors were thinking by presiding over the election of this degenerate to head the Dominican Order.
If anyone is a poster child for Amoris laetitia, it’s this man.
This is the calibre of man who has been controlling church institutions for the last 70 years, but as with Don Marco Bisceglia, who died penitent and reconciled to the Church from AIDS in 2018, there is hope.
[Catholic Snooze Network] Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich announced Monday that the October 2023 session of the Synod of Bishops on synodality will begin with a three-day retreat led by a Dominican preacher whose statements on homosexuality have previously sparked controversy.
Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe will lead the Catholic bishops and participants in the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in a retreat near Rome from Oct. 1–3 at the invitation of Pope Francis, according to the cardinal.
Radcliffe, 77, served as head of the Dominican Order from 1992 to 2001. His heterodox statements, particularly those on homosexuality, have previously caused controversy in the Church.
In the Anglican Pilling Report in 2013, Radcliffe wrote that when considering same-sex relationships, “we cannot begin with the question of whether it is permitted or forbidden! We must ask what it means and how far it is eucharistic. Certainly it can be generous, vulnerable, tender, mutual, and nonviolent. So in many ways, I think it can be expressive of Christ’s self-gift.”
