It is time for Pope Leo finally to send Cardinal Fernandez back to Argentina. I know that Leo moves slowly and cautiously, with an eye toward non-disruptive change that preserves ecclesial unity, as well as amity between competing factions, but the time has come in my humble opinion. My dream would be to see Fr. Thomas Joseph White, OP, currrently rector of the Angelicum, named as the new head of the DDF. And I say that as a "Communio" theologian who does not always agree with Fr. White's Thomism. Nevertheless, the strength of Thomism is its conceptual clarity and the sophistication of its distinctions. And nothing is needed more in the Church right now (at least as far as doctrine is concerned) than clarity and precision in disputed matters. And Fr. White would bring, not just clarity, but a profound scholarly mind.

“Some boast of chariots, and some of horses; but we boast of the name of the Lord our God”. Psalm 20:7
Politics is important. But it isn’t messianic or a proleptic realization of the eschatological.
Am I the only person who does not care that the pope voted in an American election?
These are our concerns? Really?

Ivereigh is an ideological hack of the highest order. Bishop Barron is actually a real theological scholar. And Vesco’s rejoinder only digs himself a deeper hole. Monotheists have “better things to do”? Good grief what a sad attempt at deflection. The word “quisling” comes to mind. Does Vesco actually believe in the Gospel as something true? Seems questionable.
