“THAT GUY IN ROME”: A CATHOLIC TOWN IN IDAHO WHERE THE POPE IS A HERETIC

[rug]

Last December, at the end of his tour of Africa, Pope Francis answered a question about Islamic fundamentalism by pointing to the same malady in his own flock.

“We Catholics have some—and not some, many—who believe they possess the absolute truth and go ahead dirtying the other with calumny, with disinformation, and doing evil. They do evil. I say this because it is my Church.”

He didn’t name names, but for some, it was hard not to take it personally.

Father Dennis Gordon, for one, pastor of the St. Joan of Arc in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, says that “a lot of traditionalists took it that he was talking about them,” allowing himself a wry smile.

1. Thank you

That's a good article. I don't envy Fr. Gordon in his job reaching out to people who might not be happy with the direction the church has taken over the past 50 years.
