Cum Petro et Sub Petro

Above is a full – page ad in the 1/2023 Fairfield County Catholic (the newspaper of the Bridegeport Diocese). The “Bergoglio lectures” at Sacred Heart University – a fourth-rate “Institution of higher learning” – showcasing “leaders in the Catholic intellectual tradition” – the noted thinkers Tobin, McElroy and Pierre. The last, of course, is the nuncio leading the charge in the US against the Traditional Mass. Note that the descriptions revolve entirely around the person of Bergoglio (Pope Francis).

if you glance at the top right hand corner of this ad you see a mosaic of Rupnik:

(Below) A better quality image taken directly from the online presence of the Center for Catholic Studies at Sacred Heart University. This is the logo of the Center. The photograph of the mosaic is taken from the chapel of the University, decorated by Rupnik at considerable cost.

So Sacred Heart University is reconfirming its commitment to Rupnik. The new “Bergoglio Lectures” are also consistent with other series of lectures sponsored by the Center – both upcoming and in the past. And, under Francis, all this is cum Petro et sub Petro; the union of sycophancy, heterodoxy and tolerance of sexual abusers(at least those enjoying official favor).
