Pro-Francis National Catholic Reporter Accuses Francis of "Clericalism"
The National Catholic Reporter, a rabidly pro-Francis outlet, has accused Pope Francis of – quotation marks – "clericalism". Clericalism is a general insult which Francis himself likes to use. But this time the columnist, Jamie Manson, is angry at Francis because he did not drop Cardinal Pell like a hot potatoe although he was convicted last week in Melbourne of child abuse, a verdict that is manifestly unjust. Manson even calls Pell "rot" and "evil". There have been unjust condemnations of Catholics clerics in Socialist and National Socialist regimes. When the dust has settled, Manson will have to apologise for having defended such a condemnation.
Bishop Asks For Fasting But Not the Way You Think
On December 9, Bishop Xavier Novell of Solsona, Spain, on the webpage of his diocese, called his faithful to fast. This fasting has no spiritual background but is in solidarity with – quote - "Catalan prisoners", four nationalists arrested because of their involvement in last year’s illegal independence referendum who presently observe a hunger strike. Bishop Novell called his faithful to join them suggesting a total fast, a fast on bread and water, or a considerable reduction of food or other things. He also calls for – quote - "transversal and open" Friday prayers which he calls "Spirituality and Solidarity with the Catalan Prisoners on Hunger Strike".
