“You cannot serve both God and mammon”?
OK, and that’s why the regular clergy
withdraw from the world to spend their lives in service to God, making prayer
and contemplation and other acts of worship their full-time job, their career,
their whole life.
So why do lefties read this as if it meant “you cannot serve
both humanity and mammon,” as if had been said by some career social worker,
peace corps fellow, or community organizer?
Does the new pope intend it that way?
He has not budged on anything related to sex, morals, church
order, or actual theology.
St Francis, apparently his model, was not a sexual
revolutionary or champion of feminism.
His big thing was that the clergy ought to be more
diligently poor, and so should the godly laity.
Hard to see how that bodes well for those already poor,
though not voluntarily.
