Ignorance is not bliss it is dangerous....

I see that our former Prime Minister is opining that the Pope needs to change his teaching.

Besides displaying his theological ignorance for all to read he also shows a woeful ignorance concerning the position of the Pope whose role from ancient times has been to uphold the Faith once delivered to the saints. He simply hasn't the authority to change the nature of the Church's moral teaching. And as for our erstwhile political leader thinking that this would be the right and popular thing to do - he really does need to grow up. A look across the pond at ECUSA imploding and gradually disappearing leaving only an increasing number of bishops behind should be a wake-up call to any one with any sense.

And, of course, on top of all this there is the issue of whether he is an obedient son of the Church or whether he sees it as his role to guide it himself - presumably in the same way as he led this country which now finds that the legacy left it has no substance to it at all. Rather like the Emperor there were many queuing up to compliment him on his new clothes - but now many are admitting that there were none at all, but not because a young boy pointed the obvious out for many, many were deluded. No, they now admit that there were no clothes, because they are seeing their own being taken off their very backs to pay for grandiose schemes and vague ideas, diversity officers and all manner of advisers and other none jobs.
