Have the Bishops gone “Full Modernist”???

Take a close look at this “O-Antiphon” tweet by the USCCB from Wednesday, 18 December.  Do you see any symbology which looks a little…well…Masonic?

And, yes, I do know that the eye within the triangle, the “All-Seeing Eye of God” has a Catholic history.  You can see it displayed in the artwork of old churches and manuscripts.  But for the last several hundred years, it has been co-opted by the Lodge as a distinctly Masonic symbol.  As such, it has gained a fair degree of toxicity. It’s no different than the rainbow.  What was once thought of as the universal sign of God’s pledge never again to destroy the world with water, it has now become the universal sign of something rather different, hasn’t it?  So it is with this symbol.

The question begs itself:  was this simply a slip-up by the poor seminarian whose collateral duty it is to pretend he’s tweeting on behalf of all the bishops in the USCCB?  Or was the symbology fully understood ahead of time.

Has the USCCB, in fact, gone “full Modernist?”

It’s hard to keep up with all the moves being made during this pontificate.  Many of the pronouncements coming from the Vatican seem to be intentionally ambiguous, allowing for the faithful to fib to themselves that nothing’s changed, and allowing the less heterodox among us to exploit the carefully constructed loopholes in documents like Amoris Laetitia.  No doubt the end product of this month’s synod will produce whoppers of equal magnitude.

Then, of course, there are the outright moves of betrayal, such as the stunning agreement with the Red Chinese which effectively throws the Underground Church in China under the bus.

Even though many faithful Catholics are confused, perplexed, disturbed, and perhaps even outraged by the Pontiff’s moves, there are those whom we suspect would be quite pleased…
