On the last day of Parish Priests for the Synod—an international meeting of parish priests at the Vatican—Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, SJ, encouraged participants “to become ambassadors of synodality, to be full participants in a synodal Church, to become with all the people of God, missionary disciples of Jesus.”
“Many times their training and their reality have been oriented towards a Tridentine model of the priesthood,” Cardinal Hollerich, the relator-general of the synod on synodality, said of parish priests, in an address to Pope Francis in the presence of participants. “And now they see that the identity they had for centuries is crumbling, and sometimes this identity is lost ... and there is the danger of wanting to build a new identity based on the experience of the past.”
“The identity of priests and parish priests (even bishops) is given to us by the Holy Spirit when we walk with the people,” he continued. “Then the sacraments are no longer the expression of a ritualism in …More

They think they're being progressive. but actually it's little else than attempt to turn the Church into 19th century Liberal Protestantism.
Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here.More

I cannot discuss with Card. Hollerich as he has made strong and judgmental and political statement. He and others who are in the same page use all kind of tricks and twisted teaching to appear to be Catholics. However these people do not want the truth and they do not want Catholicity at all! This is sad discovery.
I am simply speechless and full of inexpressible pain.More

He prefers priests oriented toward a Protestant model.
The Jesuits are a dying religious institute and determined to take the rest of the Church with them.More

These high ranking clerics just hate the traditions of the Church, don't they.

They hate Tradition because it prevents them from perverting the Church into One world religion as their master demands. But we know how that will end…

The priests who were selected by their bishops to attend this were already true Francis believers, so this was really just a political meeting.
