• This unanticipated but pathetically inevitable post is not part of our ongoing sub-series (Link 1, Link 2) concentrating on the issue of His Grace and the matter of women priests, the next part of which (note for our monitors' attention) will appear this week.
Less than 50 minutes ago we read in the Catholic Universe (Feb. 11th, 2016) that His Grace, Most Rev. Malcolm McMahon, ninth Archbishop of Liverpool cares "passionately about social justice and Progressio’s work".
Furthermore, he – and the Archdiocese of Liverpool in general – is supporting a Lenten challenge directed towards supporting the most "vulnerable" in Zimbabwe.
N.B. Progressio just loves the interchangeability of words like "vulnerable" and "fragile"...in one sense they can mean people who are starving and poverty-stricken or in another they can refer to girls/women denied their rights to the Culture of Death.
Just as an exercise, it took us less than 20 minutes, simply by Googling a combination of "Progressio", "Progressio Catholic", "Progressio Church teaching", "Progressio abortion contraception", "Progressio planned parenthood" we came up with the following links (at the foot of this post) about this rancid but brightly and florally marketed – always with the smiling black faces – post-Catholic organisation that is yet another of the myriad of "mercy-based" evil tentacles attached to the worldwide Culture of Death.
That's how easy it is.
That's how quick it is.
40 minutes later, we've posted this.
And for those who are uninitiated: the name Progressio is the biggest dog-whistle there is.
The clue is not so much in the name, the clue IS the name!
So:
Option 1) Huge worry:
His Grace's radar is not alert enough to hear the name "Progressio" and be instantly alerted to yet another branch of the massively duplicitous worldwide industry of family-planning/abortion rights/sexual health provision/reproductive rights/contraception provision/gender inequality elimination/male hate etc., etc., all of which vomits into the abyss of the Culture of Death;
or:
Option 2) Bigger worry:
His Grace knows all about Progressio and what it stands for, has done for years, and "passionately" supports it...indeed he wouldn't be so stupid to say so unless he knew what he was on about would he?
Would he?

This is the bit, for those who think we're being harsh, or without "merr-cee" where we have to balance things by mentioning the FSSP being introduced to Warrington.
