What should the faithful do? This article by Archbishop Gianpaolo Crepaldi is most disturbing. The Archbishop is from the Diocese of Trieste and is the president of the Cardinal Van Thruan International Observatory for the Social Doctrine of the Church.

“It is necessary to ask oneself how this Pontiff, despite his evangelical meekness and honesty, the clarity of his words joined to the depths of his thought and of his teachings, arouses in some places sentiments of disgust and forms of anti-clericalism that it was believed had been surmounted. And this, it must be said, causes even greater astonishment and also distress when those who do not follow the Pope and criticized his alleged errors are men of the Church, whether theologians, priests or laymen.

“The unheard of and clearly force accusations of theologian Hans Kung against the person of Joseph Ratzinger, theologian, bishop, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and now Pontiff for having caused, according to him, the pedophilia of some ecclesiastics through his theology and magisterium on celibacy profoundly distresses us. It never happened before that the Church was attacked in such a way…

“These attacks are echoed sadly by those who do not listen to the Pope, also among ecclesiastics, professors of theology in seminaries, priests and laymen. Those who do not accuse the Pontiff openly, but are deaf to his teachings, who do not read the documents of his magisterium, who write and say exactly the contrary of what he says, give life to pastoral and cultural initiatives, for example in the area of bioethics or in that of the ecumenical dialogue, in open diverge with all that he teaches. The phenomenon is very grace as it is very widespread.

“Benedict XVI has given teachings on the Second Vatican Council that many Catholics reject openly, promoting forms of counter-formation and of systematic parallel teaching, led by many “anti-popes”; he has given teachings on “non-negotiable values” which very many Catholics minimize or reinterpret, and this also happens on the part of theologians and famous commentators guest of the Catholic press in addition to the secular press; he has given teachings on the primacy of the apostolic faith in the wise reading of events and very many continue talking of the primacy of the situation, or of the practice, or of the data of human sciences; he has given teachings on conscience and on the dictatorship of relativism but very many put democracy or the Constitution before the Gospel. For many, “Dominus Jesus,” the Note of 2002 on Catholics in politics, the 2006 Regensburg address, “Caritas in Veritate,” is as if they had never had been written.

“The situation is serious, because the gap between the faithful who listen to the Pope and those who do not is spreading everywhere, even in diocesan seminaries and Institutes of Religious Sciences, and animates two pastoral programs that are very different in themselves, so that they almost no longer understand one another, as if they were the expression of two different Churches, causing insecurity and error in many faithful in following him...
