This moto proprio, released Friday November 3, is Francis' latest attempt to justify the deconstruction of Christ's teaching. The official English translation has not yet been released, but Return To Tradition offers us an unofficial translation.
Notice that in the first two sentences, he dismisses nearly two centuries of Church teaching as "formulas and schemes of the past". In section 4 he speaks of a "paradigm shift". Hmm! Why does that phrase sound familiar? Oh, yes! He tried
that crap over five years ago! That canard was roundly debunked then and still stands debunked in its reincarnation via this new moto proprio. To briefly reiterate, there can be
no "paradigm shift" for
God's teachings, like God Himself, cannot change. If any difference arises between the Church's teachings and contemporary culture, it is the culture that must give way to the Church. There is no "dialogue", no compromise. The Church contains the fullness of truth and all must assent and submit to it.
With this new tome, Francis is laying the groundwork for the notion that God's timeless teachings regarding faith and morals can change, even to the point of being reversed. Of course that notion is a pernicious lie, a heresy in and of itself.
