What can we faithful do when faced with a heterodox Jesuit rector of a Catholic

uis Fernando , on 09/04/13 at 12:09 PM Pope Francis is a Jesuit. Saint Ignatius of Loyola is one of the greatest saints in history. The Company of Jesus has been one of the great glories of the Church. Without a doubt there are thousands of Jesuits faithful to their charism who do not make headlines in the press . But unfortunately, the media pick up what is strange, scandalous, strange, peculiar, funny, spectacular, etc. The Catholic University of Córdoba (Argentina) is the first private university in the South American country. And it has had Father Rafael Velasco, sj, as rector. He actually still has it, but it looks like he's going to step down. On his website he still appears with that position .




Well, this is an excerpt from some statements he made to a media outlet in his country: …There are very important reforms to be made, for example that divorced people can be admitted to communion; For example, if a homosexual lives stably with his partner, he can take communion. Those would be more understandable signs. We say that there should be no differences between men and women, we say that women  Job Function Email List  are important, but we exclude them from the ministry of the priesthood. -Francis said that this thing about women priestesses is impossible, that it is absolutely closed. -Yes, because John Paul II closed it definitively. -But could a Pope come and open this topic? -And, yes, I could open it. There is nothing that a Pope cannot open. A Pope or a Council. I am not going to go into refuting these atrocities, which demonstrate, among other things, Father Velasco's ignorance of what popes and councils can do. But I wonder: what can the faithful do about this? Please have someone with authority in the Church explain it to us .





These days, various initiatives to collect signatures are proliferating to ask the ecclesiastical authorities to intervene in the face of statements contrary to the teaching of certain consecrated persons. Although in the past I have participated in some similar act, today I say that this system of doing things does not convince me at all and I even consider it counterproductive . The progressives can organize another collection of signatures for the opposite. In fact, they usually do. And furthermore, if there is a process opened against these consecrated persons and it ends in some reprimand or canonical sanction, they will end up saying that it was due to pressure from “ultraconservative sectors.” That is not good for the Church. But at the same time, I understand that many people are so fed up that they think the best thing to do is to put pressure on the hierarchy in some way .
