CARDINAL CARLO CAFFARRA AND HIS TEACHING ON THE VITAL PLURALISM OF THOUGHT WITHIN THE CHURCH

May these words lead to reflection certain emulators with the wooden cross hanging from their necks, the poor at heart, the sacred migrant on the mouth and the wooden crosier in the hand, terrified at the idea of ​​not conforming to that system that the Archbishop Emeritus of Pisa Alessandro Plotti defined bluntly as the conformism of mediocre and pandering bishops.

I was very close to the Cardinal Carlo Caffara in the last years of his life and I knew his discomfort when some tried to pit him against the Supreme Pontiff Francis, this touched him so much that he made a statement:

«I would have been more pleased if it were said that the Archbishop of Bologna has a lover rather than if it were said that he has a view contrary to that of the Pope. If a bishop has a thought contrary to that of the Pope, he must leave, but just you have to go by the diocese. Because lead the faithful on a road that is not what Jesus Christ. So lose himself forever and would risk eternal loss of the faithful " (see video WHO).

Today someone tries to argue that statement he did it in October of 2014 and who changed his opinion in the following years, after the results of the Synod on the family (!?). I can testify that the whole thing is false and that in May 2017, four months before his death, in one of our long conversations he returned to the topic by telling me:

«In the Church, the different voices, they have always been extremely valuable. In fact, it would be fearful if the bishops all had the exact same thoughts. In the Church it is necessary for Bruno Forte and Carlo Caffarra to live together and express themselves. A Church formed solely by Bruno Forte or formed solely by Carlo Caffarra would be a dangerously unbalanced Church, if not worse dead to any form of theological speculation".

May these words lead certain emulators to reflection with the wooden cross hanging from his neck, the poor at heart, the sacred migrant on the mouth and the wooden crosier in the hand, terrified at the idea of ​​not conforming to that system that the Archbishop Emeritus of Pisa Alessandro Plotti he defined bluntly as the conformism of mediocre and pandering bishops (the full text of the interview in the monthly magazine Jesus of February 2014 "Enough ruffians, now we need courage", is reported WHO).
