What is the meaning of "rigid Catholic" according to the mind of Pope Francis?
Upvote:3
Here are his usages of the word "rigid" (and its derivatives) from the Pope Francis Little Book of Insults, with citations:
- Rigid Christians!
- They call themselves Christians, they call themselves Catholics, but their rigid attitude distances them from the Church!
- They are men who are locked in their calculations! They are slaves to their rigidity!
- Those who take refuge in the slavery of rigidity and know nothing of God's mercy!
- The closed, legalistic slave of his own rigidity!
- God does not love rigidity!
- A rigid idealism that prevents reconciliation between each other!
- The rigidity of the laws and an idealism that harms us!
- Jesus frees us from the chains of the law's rigidity and tells us: ‘But do that up to the point that you are capable!’
- Escape from all rigidity!
- People will try to block you, to make you think that God is distant, rigid and insensitive!
- Behind an attitude of rigidity there is always something else in the life of a person!
- Rigidity is not a gift of God!
- Rigidity conceals the leading of a double life, something pathological!
- It is not easy to walk within the Law of the Lord without falling into rigidity!
- Those who think that by becoming rigid they are following the path of the Lord!
- Unchanging, rigidity…the Law is about moving forward, the Kingdom of God is moving forward, it is not standing still!
- A rigid person only has masters and no father!
- But to make themselves important, intermediary priests must take the path of rigidity!
- They are rigid, [they are] those rigid ones that load upon the faithful so many things that they do not carry [themselves]!
- Rigid Intermediaries!
- ‘This cannot be, this cannot be ...’. And so many people approaching, looking for a bit of consolation, a little understanding, are chased away with this rigidity!
- Rigidity – which wrecks one’s interior life and even psychic balance – goes hand-in-glove with worldliness!
- About rigidity and worldliness, it was some time ago that an elderly monsignor of the curia came to me, who works, a normal man, a good man, in love with Jesus – and he told me that he had gone to buy a couple of shirts at Euroclero [the clerical clothing store] and saw a young fellow - he thinks he had not more than 25 years, or a young priest or about to become a priest - before the mirror, with a cape, large, wide, velvet, with a silver chain. He then took the Saturno [wide-brimmed clerical headgear], he put it on and looked himself over. A rigid and worldly one. And that priest – he is wise, that monsignor, very wise - was able to overcome the pain, with a line of healthy humor and added: ‘And it is said that the Church does not allow women priests!’
- Instead of opening their heart to the gift, they hid, have sought refuge in the rigidity of the Commandments, which they had multiplied up to 500 or more!
- These rigid characters were afraid of the freedom that God gives us: they were afraid of love!
- The rigidity of the closed Commandments, that are more and more safe – with emphasis on the scare-quotes!
