NO BETTER EVIDENCE OF THE FALSEHOODS OF NEO-DOCTRINES THAN THIS



I just read the article in the PDN and I think it important to note that Fr. Zoffoli passed away in 1996, several years before Saint Pope John Paul II had the statutes reviewed by 5 Dicasteries in the Curia and 12 years before the statutes were approved. Additionally, Fr. Zoffoli was a strong GLBT supporter. You decide.

Again we have a classic example, EXHIBIT A, of what Kiko Arguello produces. As expected, not a single point of Zoffoli's is engaged, but he is attacked as a "strong GLBT". (Umm, it's LGBT, btw.)

The commenter also chose to ignore the prefatory remarks in my post where I specifically noted that Zoffoli's analysis was published in 1995, several years before the final versions of the NCW Statute and catechetical directory were approved in 2008 and 2011.

THE ZOFFOLI REPORT

Part of the reason I made posts about the Legionnaires of Christ scandal and the horrible consequences of Arianism was to give some background as to how the Church has had to deal with the "smoke of Satan" in the Church, even at the "highest levels" (as Paul VI said) throughout its history and to show that the problems with Kiko Arguello and the protection he has at "the highest levels" is nothing new. 

Twenty years ago the problems posed by the errors of Kiko Arguello were thoroughly pointed out to Vatican authorities by the eminent Italian scholar, Fr. Enrico Zoffoli. At the time, the Vatican (Cardinal Ruini) replied with an admonition to Zoffoli not to make premature judgments on topics that are reserved to "competent bodies" (meaning the Roman Curia). 

Zoffoli's reply to Rome is an example for us today. He replied that he was not presuming to act in the place of "competent bodies" but that (as a Catholic and a priest) he had the "right and duty to act in this way" because of observable errors and especially since it appeared that the "competent bodies" did NOT have access to all the facts, namely Kiko's catechism ("secret texts").
