Yet the Church elects to show itself magnanimous and merciful, though it has been empowered by the Lord to "command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer."
Would that the enemies of Christ's Church would repent from their harsh libels of her!
"It's a shame that the this pope will do what the Atlactl Batallion could not do--silence Father Sobrino."
"makes sense to me if the right wanted to take over the left via the church since opus dei is almost cult like and major conservative"
"crack down on Jon Sobrino! It certainly brings to mind Father Grande's aphorism that the powerful prefer "Christ with a muzzle."
"Jon Sobrino is just another victim of the oppressive Vatican. The Nazi Pope strikes again..."
I agree with E-V that the intemperate comments made on this blog are inappropriate.
Me too.
What we know i that the Christian Church have so many groups or interpretations, so many people within the vatican had defended liberation Theology, and that's one of the reasons for the vatican to stop the punishment again father Jon Sobrino.
The OPUS DEI is not the church, as EV wants to place it, as the absolute voice of the church.
Seems to me, the same happens when so many people critizice the republican administration, and the bush's fans accused the oposition to be un patriotic and anti-USA, just to marginalise the opposition to the war.
Vatican is a state, with so many groups within.
The church has prohibited the rest of it bishops to allow Father Jon Sobrino to participate in any assemblies.
That is another way of the political way the Vatican to stop Father Sobrino and silence his voice, since they couldn't stop or punished him, neither take him out from the church where there are so many bishops that defend him.
