Fr Prof. Maurizio Chiodi is the synodist expert of Pope Francis. It demands a fresh assessment of homosexuality so as to come from the "ethic of the concrete life" simply to accept the way homosexuals live. He besides expects synod consent to contraception, again on the basis of the "ethic of the concrete of life".
Fr Prof. Maurizio Chiodi is 1 of the most crucial Italian moral theologians. Not due to the fact that he presented Catholic moral theology in full. On the contrary, Maurizio Chiodi strives for a profound change to her and wants to justify the admissibility of sins specified as the usage of contraception or even homosexual acts. In connection with his ideology, he can number on support... in the Vatican. In the past, he has given highly promoted speeches by the Roman Curia. He was now admitted to 1 of the most crucial Synodal Commissions, which Pope Francis called. It is expected to work on the transformation of moral theology.
In February of that year, Pope Francis appointed 10 peculiar Synodal Commissions. They are to address various circumstantial topics related to alleged church reform. A list of committee members was announced in July. There are many progressives among them, including Maurizio Chiodi. The theologian works in a commission called "Theological Criteria and Synod Method in Discriminating the Distinguished Doctrine, Pastoral and Ethical Issues". another theologians, including Africans, besides sit on the committee, which gives any chance to block Chiodi's progress, but does not warrant that.
– The main nonsubjective of our group is to propose criteria, i.e. methods – kind and way – to deal with controversial questions and subjects – said Fr Maurizio Chiodi in an interview with the German portal Katholisch.de.
He further stated that "a fresh approach to homosexuality is necessary". – I am convinced that present we request to redesign the conventional ethical reflection on homosexuality, which in our times is incomprehensible He said.
Chiodi's problem is based on a misunderstanding of what nature is. The Catholic Church has clear teaching on this subject, but Chiodi simply rejects it and claims that it is not known at all.
– In the past, we have said that homosexuality is contra nature. present we gotta ask ourselves: what does “nature” mean? This Latin word has many very different meanings. said ambiguity.
He then argued that although the concept of nature refers to universalism and universality, it would be essential to consider morality in a "deep relation with experience and individual life" and each time with a "specific culture". In another words, the common morality must be undermined and replaced by local and ad hoc morality, dependent on circumstances.
According to Fr Maurizio Chiodi, this specifically means that in the case of homosexuality, a question should be asked about the "possible good of specified a person", given the fact that the other sex is unattractive to her. So the thought is to admit her real ability to be close, caring, and united with another individual who in this case will be a individual of the same sex.
He then proposed an approach of recognising diversity, i.e. “acceptance of others” in the Church, so as to discover the “good” contained in various “specific situations”.
The same arguments Chiodi uses in the substance of contraception, as he besides mentioned in the quoted interview.
If Chiodi implements his ideas, Catholic Church awaits further degradation of moral science, in spirit Amoris laetitia and Fiducia supplicans.
