This Aussie is scathing on the latest from We Are The Church

IMWAC has published a call on their website for the Bishops gathered in Synod to drop the theology of Transubstantiation and sacrifice. The fact that Europe fought immensely destructive wars over precisely these subjects for the best part of a century obviously escapes them. The arrangement we came to was that those who didn’t want Eucharistic Sacrifice and Transubstantiation should go to a Protestant Church and those that did would go to a Catholic Church. Then no one would get burnt at the stake or hung drawn and quartered. Well if you want to go back on the agreement…

I came to his blog via a comment he left at Rocco’s, which was rathe provocative. In part:

A priest ought to consider Holy Orders a spiritual burden that he would be better off without, like John Chrysostom hiding under his bed when they came to ordain him. This isn’t an attitude just for saints. The image of the road to Hell paved with clerical skulls is one that ought to be on vocations pamphlets. The soft focus PR collage of the youngest, handsomest priest liturgising, caring, and generally being a nice guy in twenty poses is sick-making (unless you are a sixty-five year old woman whose real son never visits).
