Dear Professor, we are astonished at Your courage or rather impudence with which You propose a reform of the Church. If Your proposals were to be taken seriously, the Catholic Church would cease to be Catholic and even Christian. Admittedly, Your letter does contain certain truths.
However, moral offences have their root in the crisis of faith which is caused by the Church having opened up to a false postconciliar spirit. This spirit comes from two poisonous principles. The first one is historical-critical theology, which is founded upon atheistic philosophy and denies all the supernatural in the Word of God. The second one is the tendentious interpretation of the Second Vatican Council’s Nostra aetate declaration and John Paul II’s gesture in Assisi in 1986 and 2002. Unfortunately, You do not point to these roots and therefore Your condemnation of the present Pope is hypocritical.
