So because other people took the phrase , which Francis didn’t count, and has been used for years, is hijacked by some liberal cause and all of a sudden the Pope is a liberal who is ruining the Church.

If it were just that it would be the benefit of the doubt, but as I mention above, all of these things are adding up.

But your list is rad-trad drivel that is being used to divide.

If it’s any consolation, I sure wish it were just ‘rad-trad drivel’ boy would that be a relief! but it is not! Did the pro-abortionist Lilianne Ploumen receive the award ‘The Order of St. Gregory the Great’ from the Holy See? she either did or she didn’t.

I can’t find any sources denying the fact. Just silence from whatever your favorite sources must be.

Thank you for reading.

Can you imagine St Thomas Moore speaking to King Henry like this? Or St John the Baptist speaking to King Herod like this? Can you imagine them using words like ‘irregular situation’?

Living as brother and sister under St John Paul II is as lenient as it can possibly be without contradiction, Amoris Laetitia crosses the line if divorced and remarried couples can be in full communion in the Church when not living as brother and sister, not to mention how can a couple be in full communion down the road at one Catholic Church and then up the road at another Catholic Church not be? how then is that One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church?

Thank you for reading.

And that Hammer and Sickle Crucifix still gets me, why did Pope Francis not just say ‘Thank you, but I cannot accept this because Christ was nailed to a cross and not a Hammer and Sickle’ and wish him well? He would have been kind and shown respect and curtsy to him while at the same time upholding the truth and being a faithful witness.

“For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

One of my children loves Jesus (praise God!). Unfortunately, I already see that child drifting more toward evangelical Protestantism after increasing frustration with the politicization and confusion in the Catholic Church nowadays.

I’m 26 and I’m frustrated probably similar to him, but I will continue to pray for the Pope and the Church, I know Christ will restore His Church and I know that there is only One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

IMO, the real presence of the Holy Eucharist is key, the hierarchy could go right off the rails, but whenever I can visit Christ fully present, body, blood soul and divinity in the tabernacle at every Catholic Church, there is nowhere else I would go.

The gates of hell will never prevail, I’m reminded of the parable where Jesus calms the storm -

Mark 4:35-41 - Mark 4:35-41 RSVCE - Jesus Stills a Storm - On that day, - Bible Gateway

I hope this has helped

God Bless You

There is some commonality behind the dislike of the Pope, President Trump and President Obama. There are some whose dislike is fed by the type of news they seek. When I was looking up some of the above about Pope Francis, it struck me as familiar, the type of stories I read about the President from places like Huffington Post, and some of the more liberal editorials disguised as journalism. I remember the same type of yellow journalism coming from conservative bloggers and media sources during the Obama administration. He sneezes and he is pro-mucus. He wipes his nose and he is pro-bacteria.

There are real issues one can disagree with the Pope, Trump or Obama. Putting out silliness and slander does nothing but obscure real issues.

No Pope Francis did not clear giving Holy Communion to divorced and remarried Catholics.

Proof? Where has that been clarified? there was a dubia to clarify this very thing, but that has gone unanswered.

Thank you for reading.
 
And that’s wrong, they either try to get an annulment, or they live as brother and sister, this ‘discernment’ with their individual confessor is a cop out, to open the door to heresy without publicly saying so. The same confessor who appeared on TV in Australia and said they’d vote for same sex marriage with no repercussions? the same confessor who says ‘yes’ and then just next door that confessor say’s ‘no’? and Priests are changed around, so they’ll be in full communion under ‘X’ priest, but not ‘Y’ priest? Is that One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church?

And they are not ‘irregular marriages’, they are either married or they are not (annulment process) if they are married, then they live as brother and sister to receive the sacraments because that is not their wife/husband. King Herod was not in an ‘irregular marriage’ and neither was King Henry who killed St John the Baptist and St Thomas Moore.

Thank you for reading.

God Bless

Majority of it I say on my own. Please pick one and help me clarify it if you can.

Thank you for reading.

Dubai wasn’t proof.

It was skeptical Bishops demanding clarification.

Why has there been no clarification? Instead it’s up to the ‘discernment’ of individual confessors one of whom appeared on TV and said publicly they’d be voting for same sex marriage. Instead it’s up to the individual ‘discernment’ for one priest to say ‘yes’ and next door say ‘no’ for them to go to ‘X’ Catholic Church only, but not ‘Y’ or ‘Z’, it’s up to the individual discernment of the confessor to have the wife validly married in the Catholic Church rock up to Mass and see him with his adulteress in the pew in full communion.

Thank you for reading.

That’s a neotraditionalist blog site.

Try providing a credible news source to support your accusation against Pope Francis.

Because the demand in Dubai was inappropriate

But then, Pope Francis did give clarification.

Divorced and remarried Catholics are not free to receive Holy Communion.

They must go through the annulment process

Where was that said? source? And yes, they must go through the annulment process or live as brother and sister.

Thank you.
