Francis Rages Against Young Priests
The decades-old myth of an "unimplemented Vatican II" is a form of denial of reality. Francis' work of destruction is a de facto Vatican III.
As usual, when talking about Catholics, Francis gets angry, claiming that "traditionalism" is surrounded by "moral problems", "serious vices", and "double lives". Reality check: Immorality, vices and double lives exploded when the clergy abandoned faith and tradition in the 1960s and ran after the Vatican II ideology.
Francis said that "I do not like rigidity because it is a bad symptom of interior life. The pastor cannot afford to be rigid.” Reality check: Francis' tenure has been the most rigid and unforgiving in decades.
He longs for seminarians who don't have the face of a saint, but who are “normal”, who "play football, who don't go into the neighbourhoods to dogmatise”. Reality check: The result of such a profile are guys who become priests because it is an easy life without work ("football"), where laziness is rewarded with a career leap.
Francis was recently told that the "rigidity of young priests" arises because they are tired of the current relativism [= religious indifference].
According to Francis, younger priests should be accompanied by clerics who are "alive and past middle age”. He hopes that once the younger priests see that welcoming the [failed] Vatican II is "not a threat" to the magisterium, they will 'soften' [= become indifferent].
Francis is afraid of people who live "trapped in a theological handbooks", "unable to get into the problems" and "move theology forward". Reality check: Novus Ordo priests are trapped in mobile phones, full of problems, and don't know even how to spell "theology."
