Archbishop Mark Coleridge - The profane heresiarch of Brisbane leaves one to ask, "where are the Catholics there?"

UPDATED:

From a reader in the combox at The Stumbling Block.

"The church is St. Patrick's Fortitude Valley. It is not a closed church. It is listed on the archdiocesan web page and has a Mass schedule."

Mark Coleridge is the Archbishop of Brisbane. We've written about this heresiarch before; here, and here. Both, were during the Synod in October 2015. I was going to write another on his comments that the four Cardinals' are unnerved and that their actions issuing a dubia, are "false charity." You can read all about that at EWTNUK by Deacon Nick Donnelly who is really doing incredible work there.

As I was stating, "I was going" to write on that until I came across this,courtesy of Frank Walker at The Stumbling Block and Canon 212, which you can view below.

Good grief, what is wrong with Coleridge?

Does he have any faith? Is he a satanist? A Freemason? A homosexual? He is certainly not a Catholic anymore. He cannot be, it is not possible. Not with the statements he has made and not with this sacrilege. Regardless of whether the Blessed Sacrament is present on not, this is a church owned by the Archdiocese handed over to profane use for money. The altar, crucifix and holy images remain.

Better that the church should have seen the wrecking ball, than this.

No, better that the Coleridge wear sackcloth and ashes crying from the porch crying "Parce Domine, parce populo tuo." But why should the LORD spare His people? Why? If the Catholics of Brisbane, and in particular the Catholic men of Brisbane are two emasculated, two cowardly, too feminised, too drunk on their comfortable lives to stand up to Heresiarch Coleridge, why should I care on the other side of the world?

Because friends, I am a Catholic and so are you. And this Coleridge and what you now see, are straight out of Hell.

Here is one.

Shut-up you stupid little Catholic. It is I, the great Clericalist Wizard of Coleridge who knows best - The Faith is not "timeless" and I've seen the "risen lord"

This proves that we are getting to them and we must not stop.

It also proves that they don't give a rat's patootie what you or I think.

They are clericalist on top of being heresiarchs.

Whatever about the press conference itself, the big surprise for me has been the ferocious reaction in some quarters to what I regard as my quite moderate remarks. Twitter has been frothing with invective, which shows what’s out there – by which I mean the fear, even the panic this Synod seems to have provoked in some. That sort of thing doesn’t look like the Holy Spirit to me – red-eyed joylessness cannot be of God. The impression is that, if you touch the slightest jot or tittle not so much of what the Church teaches but of what her pastoral practice has been or how her truth has been expressed, then the whole edifice built up over 2000 years will come tumbling down. If I believed that, I’d be panicking too and hurling lemon-lipped diatribes this way and that. But I don’t believe it and therefore find myself trusting in the path that’s opening before us, with the abuse rolling like water off a duck’s back. Voices of fear, even panic, have also been heard in the Synod Hall and the small groups, but what’s clearer to me now is that those voices within have strong links to similar voices without. It’s also clear that those voices, clinging desperately to some imagined or ideologised past, cannot point the way into the future. History will have its way, however much we try to cling to illusions of timelessness.

Once we’ve done our work, it goes to the 10-man commission who are writing the final document. They’ve been hard at it, dealing with the first two parts of the working document. Cardinal John Dew told me that they were huddled over the work yesterday afternoon and into the room unannounced walked Pope Francis – like the Risen Lord, though not (I think) walking through a locked door. He simply wished them well in the work and urged them to give him a good document. They promised to try. Another moment of the Pope of surprises. Let’s hope for some surprises from the final document.

Mark Benedict Coleridge. Is he our latest heresiarch?

Today's press conference from the Synod to destroy the family featured Brisbane Archbishop Mark Benedict Coleridge.

Shall we take a look at what this episcopal eunuch had to day?

The Church has traditionally spoken that the second union is adulterous and I understand why. I understand the teaching and what lies behind it, including the biblical background. But at the same time, not every case is the same and that’s where a pastoral approach needs to take account of the different situations. For instance, just to say that every second marriage or second union whatever you want to call it is adulterous, is perhaps too sweeping. For instance, a second marriage that is enduring and stable and loving and where there are children who are cared for is not the same as a couple skulking off to a hotel room for a wicked weekend.  So the rubric, adultery, in one sense, it’s important but in another sense it doesn’t say enough and I think what a pastoral approach  requires is that we actually enter into what the synod is calling a genuine pastoral dialogue or discernment with these couples and the start of that is for people like me to actually listen to their story not just swamp them with doctrine or Church teaching. (Coleridge's commentary begins just before the 24:00 mark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=timmt6EvF-0)

 

I had a conversation, not too long ago, with a priest - someone who should have been a bishop except he would not dissent on Humanae vitae back in the late 1970. He opined how angry it made him when he would hear Pope Francis say that priests were not "pastoral" or "merciful." He could not understand who it was that the Pope was speaking about. I have certainly not seen a priest any less than pastoral and merciful provided I was repentant for the wretched things that I had done and brought them to either the confessional or spiritual direction.

 

Coleridge waxes on that a "second marriage or second marriage" if it is nice and all is well, is "different from skulking off to a hotel room" and therefore, not really adultery. Well, what if the second marriage began because one or both skulked off to a hotel room? Would it be adultery then?

 

What if the first wife is at home with the other children and struggling? Is there no sin in that for the person who caused the break-up and now lives in something other than adultery?

 

Truly, who educated these men? Have they all been emasculated?

 

There is something, however, even more troubling.

 

We see and hear lots of heterodox commentary at these daily briefings. Why is there no bishops speaking orthodoxy.

Perhaps Fathers Lombardi or Rosica might wish to comment and let us know.

 

We're waiting.
