A good reminder that Christians are gonna have to get in the fight if they want their children to keep the faith, or be allowed to keep the faith in real terms.
Fiduci Supplicans was rejected by church leaders in the non-western world by a large margin. The Catholic Church has remained more traditional and doctrinal in the growing sections of Asia, Africa and Latin America, compared to the declining share of nominal Catholics in Western Europe and North America.
Yes, liberalism has a following in the west and that has been reflected in Protestants too (where the Methodists failed to enact gay marriage mostly because of their third-world members so they had to schism as a result)
I think FS gets more attention than it needs, though. No serious Christian entertains homosexual couples and itself expressed a circumstance so remote that it probably would never happen. This is an argument against ever writing something like FS, mind you, as it only serves to cause people to humor the concept.
My “hot take” if I may posit it, is that it was written specifically in response to the Crisis in Germany which was already openly blessing homosexual couples on some lame grounds and FS was an attempt to explain how it could only continue in a highly restricted circumstance, perhaps naively thinking heretics care about what Rome says.

Thank you for writing this.
The regime copies another move from the Soviet playbook.
