Meanwhile in Vienna

their Youth Church shows the anti-Catholic movie to end all anti-Catholic movies, Dogma, roundly condemned by the Catholic League.

Yes, the movie was shown in the Church. Here is one of the discussions afterwards. Doubtless discussing whether Catholicism is actually necessary for salvation. The message of the film is that it is not. Strange message to be given by Catholic youth workers.

Any chance the Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna will put an end to the nonsense that he started? Fat chance: they are too busy in the Cathedral blessing homosexual couples on St Valentine's Day (and regretting that the Church cannot provide more for homosexual couples. Never has, never will, so what's the point of the mock tears.)

Again from the excellent kreuz.net.

Cardinal Schonborn remains an absolute mystery to me, I mean, what his connection can be with that place called Vienna, and all the antics happen in his archdiocese and the dioceses of which he is metropolitan.

He is a co-author of the Catechism and a gifted thinker, certainly. Just earlier today I was reading a great piece by him in First Things, in defense and further explanation of the position he had taken in an NY Times editorial about evolution and design. He seems to be a very careful, Thomistic thinker.

I just don't get it.

In Russia, when a Russian Orthodox priest took money to perform a "marriage" for a homosexual couple, the response was typical. The priest was defrocked and the church he had performed the "marriage" in was burned to the ground. I imagine there must be a Russian Orthodox ceremony on the books for the demolition of churches profaned by sacrilege. Maybe they'll send Pope Benedict a Latin translation?
