Morning Catholic must-reads: 07/02/13

Coptic Pope Tawadros II has criticised Egypt’s Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in an outspoken interview with the Associated Press.

The Pope has named American Archbishop Michael Blume as the next Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda.

Fr Thomas Weinandy has defended his tenure as head of the US bishops’ doctrinal committee in an interview with the National Catholic Reporter.

Tracey Rowland says that, at its worst, the landmark Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes “became an excuse for correlating, and even accommodating, the faith to the culture of modernity“.

And Micah Murphy argues that Catholicism is “the elephant in Downton Abbey’s drawing room”.

Good article on Gaudium et spes. Worth a read.

And the one about Abp. Paglia….I think he means gay people should be protected from persecution (some cultures have death penalty for homosexuality etc). I don’t think he’s saying homosexuality is ok. It seems to be walking a very fine line though….more clarity needed I think.
