The Cambridge English Dictionary defines “inversion” as “a situation in which something is changed so that it is the opposite of what it was before, or in which something is turned upside down.”
Many have described the Church for some time now as “upside down” under Pope Francis. What was good is bad and what was bad is good. What was the Church before is over and that which was not the Church and the Faith before is what it is now. This comes to mind also when considering the words of the man who has been named the new head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The word “inversion” comes to mind in the following quote, where the very idea of faith is turned on its head from something revealed by God for our salvation into a reflection only of our wants and needs, irrespective of whether or not they are sinful, whether they are good or bad, without any reference to God.
“You know that, for many centuries, the Church went in another direction. It unwittingly developed a whole philosophy and morality full of classifications, to classify people, to put labels on people. This is . . . This one is like this; this one is like that. This one can receive Communion, this one cannot receive Communion. This one can be forgiven, this one cannot. Terrible that this has happened to us in the Church. Thank God, Pope Francis is helping us to free ourselves from these patterns” (Victor Manuel Fernandez, Sunday homily in La Plata Cathedral, March 2023).
The man who said that was, in Pope Francis’ latest assault against the Church and the Faith, named on July 1 to, within months, undertake the role of defending the Faith on behalf of the Pope for the universal Church. His appointment has rightly been the cause of outrage and consternation, resulting in an explosion of articles in the Catholic world for his assaults on the Faith, but also beyond, given his horrendous track record of dereliction of duty as an archbishop responding to accusations of sexual abuse. His appointment is simply more corruption and will inevitably lead to its further spread throughout the Church. Which explains well the motive for his appointment
