Archbishop Héctor Aguer, the retired archbishop of La Plata (Argentina), has criticized the positions of the Cardinal Matteo Zuppi of Bologna and Cardinal Giuseppe Betori of Florence in favor of Fiducia Supplicans, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith’s declaration on the pastoral meaning of blessings.
Lamenting the “division pulsating in the Church,” Archbishop Aguer said that the “spirit of the revolution has devastated Christian culture; the crisis is expressed in ecclesiastical progressivism, complicit in a revolution that liquidates the natural order of creation.”
