...as always, by not being liberal enough.

This article stinks of mainstream Francis-friendly sympathies.
"people brought little statues of the Pachamama, a pregnant Mother Earth figure, which were at the centre of some worship during the gathering."
So now even the moderates are conceding worship of Pachamama DID occur.
"But Francis made his support for the statues clear, in effect recognising that they symbolise how Catholics in the Amazon basin have adapted their faith to incorporate native traditions."
..."incorporate native traditions" is a euphemism for so-called "Catholics in the Amazon basin" (aka savages still shoving bones through their noses) who continue to worship a pre-Christian pagan diety.
Cut off the Catholic charity hand-outs to those "Catholics" and just watch how many of them instantly revert to what they still are and always have been.

(Modernism Resurrected: Benedict XVI on the Resurrection by Most Rev. Donald J. Sanborn)
A Review of Ratzinger's Ideas on the Resurrection;
Let us stop briefly to review the points which Ratzinger makes concerning the Resurrection. Unlike Catholic theologians, who are perfectly clear in their presentations, Modernists present a hodgepodge of gobbledygook which, in my opinion, is purposely obscure, both for the sake of hiding heresy, and for the sake of appearing scholarly by using large, manufactured, and foreign words which they never define.
Here is what he has said concerning the Resurrection of Christ: • It is not the resuscitation of a corpse. • It is an evolutionary leap into a new dimension of human existence. • It is not a historical event like the birth of Christ or His crucifixion. • It is outside of space and time, i.e., it did not happen in a specific place and at a specific time, and is something which cannot be sensed by the senses.4 • Our Lord’s eating of the fish was an exaggeration of St. Luke, in which he contradicts himself. • The appearance of Christ to St. Paul was “light.” • The appearances of Christ to the other disciples are “real encounters with the living one who is now embodied in a new way.” • The witnesses to the Resurrection of Christ “experienced a real encounter, coming to them from outside, with something entirely new and unforeseen, namely the self- revelation and verbal communication of the risen Christ.” (p. 275
In my opinion Benedict is certainly no Francis but he certianly is not a traditionalist either.
When I italicized "Benedict XVI, was an old-school Catholic..." That's the article's opinion, not mine. Old-school would imply Pre-Vatican II, not the craziness Benedict helped to usher in. "In my opinion Benedict is certainly no Francis but he certianly is not a traditionalist either." Agreed. A fact that is lost on his supporters. Just because someone is less of a modernist does not make them a …More

In a political sphere, the left adores elections where the choice is between a radical and a left-leaning centrist. To misquote the AVP movie tag-line, no matter who wins, we lose.
