In yet another motu proprio, entitled in Latin "Ad theologiam promovendam" (November 1) but published only in Italian, Francis issued new statutes for the irrelevant Pontifical Academy of Theology.
“Promoting theology in the future cannot be limited to abstractly re-proposing formulas and schemes of the past,” Francis repeats one of his abstract formulas of the past.
A Church that is “synodal", "missionary", and "going forth” also needs a theology that “goes forth”, says the Motu Proprio, while the Council Church is neither synodal nor missionary and regresses every year together with its infantile theology.
Francis calls for a “a paradigm shift” and a "cultural revolution”, two ideological terms borrowed from outdated Marxism. The Gospel should be read and interpreted “in the conditions in which men and women daily live” - but what are these conditions concretely?
The motu proprio is embarrassingly self-referential with Francis mostly quoting himself.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
