I have recently been told that I need to be open and educate myself to the different viewpoints within the Church. I wish I could understand, but to go against natural law seems like lunacy.

On the Risks of Faith.”<BR/><BR/>The book, which was written in an interview style with German Jesuit Georg Sporschill, was presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October, and since then it has attracted the attention of the secular press because of Cardinal Martini’s criticism of the post-conciliar Popes—from Paul VI to Benedict XVI—accusing them of contributing to “regression” in the Church.<BR/><BR/>Martini not only slams Humanae Vitae, but also questions some fundamental aspects of the Church’s faith. <BR/><BR/>Magister points out that the book has not been criticized by the Italian Bishops’ newspaper “Avvenire” or by the L’Osservatore Romano.<BR/><BR/>However, he said, “in private there is harsh and worried criticism of the book’s authors at the highest levels of the hierarchy.”<BR/><BR/>“But in public the rule is to remain silent. The fear is that publicly responding to the book’s thesis only makes the damage worse,” Magister adds.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, Pietro De Marco, professor of the University of Firenze and of the School of Theology of Central Italy, issued a measured but consistent critique of the book by Cardinal Martini.<BR/><BR/>Magister will publish the entire critique by Professor De Marco in his article this Wednesday at http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/?eng=y (CNA)Ellen Wironkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037753678014941848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-23973319821692604562008-11-15T03:19:00.000-08:002008-11-15T03:19:00.000-08:00Catholics will not give their lives for a mere set...Catholics will not give their lives for a mere set of rules and regulations. But they will for a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Who said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments."<BR/><BR/>Cardinal Martini is in need of our prayer. Not only does he view the Church's teaching on contraception as something which can [ and should] change - to what he refers to as a "new vision," but he has expressed his belief that life begins after conception.Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-68933171555732627302008-11-14T13:47:00.000-08:002008-11-14T13:47:00.000-08:00I have always known that Cardinal Martini was a "p...I have always known that Cardinal Martini was a "progressive."
