I go through life without a care
‘Til I’m as happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron and I’m going nowhere
It seems that Bishop Zurek got caught moving about doing anything (planning a Pandemic Mass on Veterans Day) but what was expected; now he is hurriedly moving about trying to put together in a few days the opening of a synod that he’s known about for months. Is this not another current sign of the “serious mistake”?
Today is the 10th day since the solemn opening in Rome of the 2021-2023 Synod entitled “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission” . Yesterday all other dioceses of the Universal Church answered the call of “journeying together”. In six days Bishop Zurek will finally open the process in the Diocese of Amarillo, even though he has strongly resisted staying in the same house with Jesus, the crowd in its diversity, the apostles (the Magisterium): this is the imagery and the mystery that must be constantly contemplated and explored in depth so that the Church may increasingly become what she is, .
None of the three actors can leave the scene, however Bishop Zurek has moved about instead of being the Lord’s friend and making known the glorious splendor of His Kingdom revealed in this synodal process by staying in the same house with Him and eating and drinking what was offered.
Perhaps His Excellency is using this moving about delay to take Jesus’s place, and fabricate a diocesan Church that is a contract with quotas between the apostles (Bishop Zurek) and the crowd (lambs) and whose dialogue will end up following the plot of the political game.
This moving about has left us for now without the apostles (Pope Francis & other bishops), authorized by Jesus and instructed by the Spirit, and so the relationship with the evangelical truth is broken, and the crowd (lambs) , whether it accepts or rejects Jesus’s call to go and bear fruit that will last, remains exposed to a myth or an ideology about him.
Instead of eating and drinking what was offered, Bishop Zurek moved about imposing uniformity and quotas on the crowd (lambs) , and the apostles’ (Bishop Zurek’s) relationship with Jesus became corrupted into a sectarian and self-referential form of religion, and evangelization, which emanated from the direct self-revelation that God addresses personally to all, offering His salvation, lost its light.
…my prayer is that Bishop Zurek stops moving about from one house to another and stays in the same house and eats and drinks what is offered him!
