He was asked if young Catholics really were more traditional, as is often claimed. Yes, says the Cardinal.
Great, yes? Ah, not so much:
“I had a discussion with some of the students,” before the
lecture, who asked him, “‘Cardinal is it true that the younger people are more
traditional?’ And that’s true.”
“But that is not dangerous,” he said. “I have no problem
with tradition. But we have also the tendencies that the people want to be
clear in their positions. Black and white populism is growing in Europe. And
that is the beginning, perhaps, of populism, of terrorism, that’s clear.”
“The atmosphere of reducing the complexity of the world, to
give simple answers, to give black and white answers, is growing, and I think
that is very dangerous,” the cardinal said.
Yes, clarity is obviously the biggest threat to the Church
and the world. Thanks, Your Eminence.
When the authorities of the secular order round up Catholics
who stand with the unchangeable teachings of the Church-- and in this case the
words of Our Savior Himself-- don't expect Cardinal Marx to stir from his
comfortable digs to secure their release.
You see, the SPLC labels practicing Catholics as
terrorists. The government thinks
pro-lifers are terrorists. The occupant of the White House is eager to condemn
Catholics as the moral equivalent of murderous Islamists. Even the Holy Father
is very happy to point out that hey, we have our nuts, too! (and I'm looking at
you, trads).
If Cardinal Kasper is the Mr. Magoo of the anti-family
faction, Marx is Der Kommissar. Clarity
(about the sanctity of marriage and the sinfulness of adultery and sodomy),
black and white thinking (about the sanctity of marriage and the sinfulness of
adultery and sodomy), simplistic reasoning (about the sanctity of marriage and
the sinfulness of adultery and sodomy) , TRUTH (about the sanctity of marriage
and the sinfulness of adultery and sodomy), is the beginning of terrorism? Right.
Let's quote two of the greatest "terrorists" in
world history, Your Eminence, namely Our Lord and St. Paul:
3And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and
saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4Who
answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the
beginning, Made them male and female? And he said: 5For this cause shall a man
leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in
one flesh. 6Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let no man put asunder. 7They say to him: Why then did
Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? 8He saith to them:
Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away
your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9And I say to you, that
whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put
away, committeth adultery.
And this:
27Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the
chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of
the Lord. 28But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of the chalice. 29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and
drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
But remember, dear young Catholics, though Cardinal Marx
claims to have "no problem" with tradition, he has a problem with
you. You nascent terrorists.

At least Cardinal Marx has "no problem with tradition." ;-)
...Like Matt Holiday, Mike Methaney...and so on.
Hey, the season fast approaches. It's time to prepare.
The Bear has actually ripped the jawbones off of many people who began to talk about nuance this and avoiding black-and-white that.
Not recently.
If recently means within the past month.
"But we have also the tendencies that the people want to be clear in their positions."
Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?
