• Chiesa.expressonline.it  (Sandro Magister) >> Francis, the Pope of "Humanae Vitae"  ("...And yet Bergoglio is anything other than tender with what he calls the dominant "uniform thought," atheist and "libertine," the "new opium of the people." His vision of the world is apocalyptic, of a cosmic battle with the devil as the great adversary. He speaks of it often, especially in his morning homilies. He is not silent about his aversion to the advent of new self-proclaimed families without "the masculinity and femininity of a father and a mother." He is inflexible in calling abortion an "abominable crime." ... But he is very careful never to allow his denunciations to coincide with laws, acts of government, judicial rulings, current events, opinion campaigns that in many countries attest on a daily basis to the advance of precisely the "uniform thought" that he detests. And this is enough for him to be kindly allowed to say everything, as long as it remains in the abstract...)

Canon 277 requires all clergy in the West, including married clergy, to observe perfect and perpetual continence. Notwithstanding, however, more than fifteen centuries of unbroken attestation, this obligation has been nearly-completely forgotten in a hardly a generation. But neither this institutional amnesia nor the fact that no recently ordained married clergy and their spouses were sufficiently (nay, remotely) aware of the obligation so as to have given consent to it, suffices to abrogate the canon law of clerical continence or to obviate the profound Western tradition behind it. Now at this point, one can either pretend that this conflict between clerical life and law does not exist or one can deal with it....")
