I was only responding to the question,” Why do some ppl not like the Pope?” I do google. Not everyday. My note was accurate to the point of ppl not liking him. I didn’t see the follow up. That’s why it’s open forum so all can fill in blanks. Thank You

There have always been heretical views in the clergy of the Church, I respect them all, that doesn’t mean I am naïve or accept whatever is said either, like that Priest who appeared on TV and said they’d vote for same sex marriage.

Remember, Judas was also among the 12, not to mention the sexual abuse cases.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

If I report about the hammer and sickle crucifix the Pope accepted for example, am I suddenly a schismatic? when St Paul corrected St Peter was he a schismatic? Even if I were a schismatic (which I am not) how does that throw into question the fact that the Pope did err taking the ‘protest art’ of the hammer and sickle crucifix and then saying that he does not regret doing so?

Like I said also, you are free to give me sources, help me answer them.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

If the source is not the Vatican News Service, you can bet the farm it will have some sort of “spin”.

How can this be your source for accusing the Pope of saying that Jesus sinned? From that article:
“He has expressly said that Christ was without sin.”
“Jesus may have said to Mary and Joseph something like, “Oh, I see I caused you worry. I am sorry.” That is not an admission of sin, but a giving of comfort to his worried parents.”
“So the pope affirms, at least these three times, that Christ was without sin. It is just not plausible that the pope changed his mind on a central dogma of the faith some time during the last two months, and now thinks that Christ was a sinner.”

The “source” you give specifically denies and disproves your false accusation against Pope Francis.

You can bet the farm nearly every source will have some kind of ‘spin’, I understand all that and am aware of it when I read.

Thank you for reading.

It’s not, it’s one source (a favorable source) that reiterates what was said. Since it’s a favorable source it’s even more trustworthy for those like yourself which is why I quoted it.

Like I said, it was a small err because ‘begged for forgiveness’ certainly isn’t correct and while I like the authors justification, it was a bit of a stretch IMO in regards to blaming the translation, but I’m happy to accept it, there are bigger fish to fry anyway, such as the Hammer & Sickle Crucifix, Amoris Laetitia, Dubia, Laudato Si, 500th Anniversary Martin Luther and pro-abortionist Lilianne Ploumen receiving the award ‘The Order of St. Gregory the Great’ from the Holy See.

Not to mention the recent fiasco I have heard of in regards to the collaboration between communist China over the appointment of Priests and Bishops e.g. allowing a Country and it’s secular or atheist government a say in who is and who is not allowed to become a Priest or Bishop.

How very sad, that you feel no responsibility to check the facts before making an accusation against the Pope.
 
So you just answered your own question.

It’s in the document, but also repeated by Pope Francis himself.

Amoris Laetitia, is not an open door for divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion.

They must first go through the process of annulment. But as Pope Francis stated, that process must be pastoral.

I read the article. It is thin, very thin. It is all based on one supposed letter that one person said he placed in the hands of the Archbishop. Reading the article critically, it is full of holes and allows for a lot of other reasonable explanations other than the Pope being aware of what happened.

I agree with much of what (name removed by moderator) has said (Still reading) and in other threads I agree with much of what you have to say including some stuff in this thread, I don’t think you look like an idiot at all.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

I know, but we need to discuss it, I didn’t think there was anything personal in (name removed by moderator)'s posts and just wanted to let you know that I think (name removed by moderator) has made some really good points and I don’t think you look like an idiot nor that (name removed by moderator) would think that either.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

Okay, more of a rhetorical question then. 🙂

If anyone suggests a schism, I’m gone, there is only One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, wouldn’t even think it.

On the other hand, I would be careful too, because those who criticize something within the Church, are not always promoting schism, in fact the opposite, trying to bring light to it so it can be corrected so that there is not a schism.

I will continue praying for the Pope, but I think there are many heretical mouths trying to feed off Pope Francis, and when Francis is succeeded or maybe Pope Francis will see the bad fruits of such ambiguity and try to clarify, their delusions will come crashing down, and then there will be a schism for all those who have been led astray by secular society and ambiguous teaching.

For example, just in a thread now regarding Martin Luther, when Pope Francis ‘commemorates’ the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther, it should be a sad occasion because Luther was a schismatic and a heretic, but when he has a joint ‘commemoration’ with protestants who celebrate the life and legacy of this schismatic and heretic, then we have a major problem, it’s highly scandalous and leads people astray by thinking the Church is conceding to Martin Luther and subtly implying what he did was right/acceptable, which it wasn’t.

God Bless

There should be no ‘left’ or ‘right’ in Catholicism, it is true or it’s not, base it on it’s merits, but we should never be divided into such arbitrary categories, I know of that site and to my knowledge, no they do not promote schism nor would they ever.

Tradition, Scripture and Magisterium, as Catholics we need all 3.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

I have been hearing this version of “wait 'til next year” since I was Catholic and St. John Paul was a pope. If the next pope changes some of the disciplines in place, I think you will not find a crash or schism, but support. Not all of us kick against the goads.

And what exactly is wrong with Church Militant? All they do is preach the truth.
