Confusion Reigns Supreme Hello everyone and welcome to …

1 Confusion Reigns Supremevort-2014-07-16 Hello everyone and welcome to The Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. I m Michael very strange has happened in the past 50 years or so in the Church, and it is is the continual Confusion and then the reaction to that Confusion which is somewhat unprecedented on this grand a , the communications technology has added to this greatly, because anyone who has a blog, a twitter or facebook account, or access to Wi-Fi automatically thinks of themselves as for that fact, even professional journalists with their ideological agendas can t convey a story in the Church and among Catholics.

2 This Confusion over practically everything has reached incredible the Vatican has to continually issue corrections and clarifications about what is reported that the Pope reportedly Bishops .. like Cardinal Timothy Dolan .. has his press office people issue statements saying he was quoted out of have just now the case of the new archbishop of Cologne Germany saying things in such a manner that sound like he is approving of same sex relationships in some fashion or another. And then, on the heels of those statements, comes the all these clarifications and follow-up statements often come too little to late.

3 Once the secular media has gotten their hands on these original reports and spun them into sensational headlines it s all she language and lack of precision has been an issue for decades in the Church as numerous interpretations of the Vatican II documents themselves have you go back and read a Church document from before the 20th century or something from a Catechism BEFORE the Council .. it is striking how clear the words is no room for misinterpretation. But since that time, it seems clarity has turned to mush. It is nearly impossible to find something clearly and precisely is it little surprise that when some poorly worded document or imprecise interview is given and reported, that people go bananas?

4 It may not be the right reaction. It may not be the most charitable it certainly is a VERY understandable reaction. Leaders in the Church have allowed such an atmosphere of imprecision and ambiguity and lack of clarity to become common place that faithful Catholics are sometime too willing to believe a news report that something crazy was that often times crazy things aren t in fact said. Of course they are. And they come forth from the mouths of leaders many the issue here is the climate all this lack of precision has produced it is not a healthy climate and the reason is because it has been allowed to fester by leaders either speaking imprecisely themselves, or allowing such massive ambiguity to has gone on for SO long now, that when someone does occasionally say something very clearly like contraception is sinful.

5 He is shouted down as being leaders look at examples like that and pull back from saying things clearly themselves as Cardinal Dolan confessed to the Wall Street last other issue is that all of this ambiguity becomes fertile ground for enemies of Christ within the Church for sowing even more Confusion , so much so that people eventually abandon the truth gets sacrificed because the truth is clear. Heresy, dissent, heterodoxy these are what commonly profit from lack of since many faithful Catholics recognize this reality they are quick, and on a rare occasion too quick to be willing to believe reports of a new crazy comment from a cardinal or bishop or even a on these occasions they should be more discerning, can anyone really blame them for jumping to conclusions?

6 There s plenty of blame here to go around and most of it can be laid at the feet of leaders who will not act boldly and speak clearly in the first Love you. I m Michael Friend in Christ,Let your yes mean yes.
