It is exactly the "jumping to conclusions" type of comments that I see on Twitter from the source you mentioned that cause alarm and confusion in the faithful. And those are things that prevent clear thought. Anyone can use sound bites and "leaks" to create any situation they want, depending on their agenda.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968810669834802481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-84621458488453948532015-10-17T15:45:00.765-05:002015-10-17T15:45:00.765-05:00St. Jerome was, of course, invited to synods.
You ...St. Jerome was, of course, invited to synods.<br />You and I aren't. <br /><br />The Arian heresy started prior the the First Council of Nicaea, 325 AD.<br />The councils that generated St. Jerome's remark all met between 340 and 360 AD. <br />Arianism pretty much ended by Second Constantinople, 381 AD.<br />St. Jerome wasn't even baptized until 360-366 AD, he didn't entirely devote himself to the study of theology and the things of God until 373, and wasn't ordained until 378 AD.<br /><br />In short, St. Jerome comment was part of a HISTORY, written years after the fact.<br />If Rorate Caeli were to refrain from remarking on the synod until a decade after the fact, I would have no quarrel. <br /><br />So, follow the example of St. Jerome.<br />Shut up until such time as the Church has settled it. <br />Steve Kellmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509461318016670424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-57537162194295892062015-10-17T12:48:33.471-05:002015-10-17T12:48:33.471-05:00"It doesn't matter if the bishops who pro..."It doesn't matter if the bishops who propose the nonsense actually believe the nonsense they propose."<br /><br />Well, THAT sure is a relief. We wouldn't want the faithful to notice the remarkable phenomenon of a pope giving permission for something the Church has always said is incompatible with the Faith to be presented as a serious option. And it's great to know that even if the majority of the world's bishops believe damnable, heretical nonsense, and encourage its spread in their dioceses, none of us need to have the slightest concern about that. Silly St. Jerome decrying the time when "the whole world groaned, and was astonished to find itself Arian"! St. Jerome shouldn't have been reading Catholic media, because their telling people what bishops think and believe only invoked storms instead of calming and soothing faithful Catholics into thinking everything was fine in the Church.Confiteborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951083063448447552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-5866325520109922532015-10-13T14:53:53.233-05:002015-10-13T14:53:53.233-05:00Thank you!

That is exactly the conclusion I have come to after reading the latest alarmist "news" from a so called "orthodox" media source.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968810669834802481noreply@blogger.com
