There is "a lot of confusion" in the Church, retired Bruxelles Archbishop André Léonard preached during the annual Old Rite Pentecost pilgrimage to Chartres, France (June 11).
Léonard was a reform bishop who attracted many vocations and therefore was hated by the oligarch media and by Pope Francis who quickly replaced him with a Stone Age liberal.
Confusion [produced by Francis] is visible for Léonard regarding the indissolubility of marriage, the relationship between marriage and Eucharist, homosexual practices, clerical celibacy and more.
Nevertheless, Léonard claimed to the astonishment of many that "we must be grateful when our current pope, Pope Francis, speaks on some of these points in a clear way.”
Not surprisingly, Léonard was not able to quote such Francis statements.

Bishop Léonard: "I have already had many contacts with them in Namur, I like a lot at home and among the laity who are sharp friends of reason, I also have a bit of a rationalist side, if I was not Christian, I would be Spinozist or Hegelian It is our great common good: in the sciences and elsewhere, reason inspires us, I like to debate with them and feel in good company there more than with some weird brothers."

Question: You said that you are not hostile to dialogue with the laity. And with the Freemasons?

This Archbishop did much in the time he had, including supporting a small priestly society which managed to have more seminarians, or close to that, than the Belgian national seminary. If Benedict had installed more bishops in Belguim, the vile legacy of Danneels could have been effaced, and the present error from the Vatican could've resisted.

Gotta love the fact the Archbishop has to clarify who the current pope even is. :D In all fairness to the man, he said our current pope "speaks on some of these points in a clear way." Nowhere did he say our current pope's clarity is in any way supportive of The Church's traditional magisterium. He didn't say that.an' we all know why.
