Those that are divided are dividing themselves from GOD.

It’s becoming rather interesting to watch the RCC attempts to conform to society.

The MSM believes that the Catholic Church operates like a soulless politician. The MSM believes that the poll should be used to change church policy.

The MSM believes that absolute morals have been replaced by the morals of group-think. Of course the MSM likes group-think because the MSM is able to influence group-think.

The MSM couldn’t be more wrong about the Catholic Church.

The Church conducted the poll to assess what areas need teaching, where the Church has failed to properly express the reasons for its laws.

CINOs are divided. Catholics are not.

Hasn’t this been debunked multiple times? There is no such survey.

This is hugh! Boy is this Sirius!

Just kidding. And according to the media, the Church is about to allow gay marriage, women priests, totalitarianism as the recommended form of government and the Republicans (especially conservatives) are about to fall off the face of the earth and BOTH GROUPS are better off to just abandon their principles.

I wonder how many marriages there would be left if one condition of staying married is that you have to agree with your spouse 100%.

If these people don’t agree with Catholic (or Christian for that matter) teachings, why don’t they just leave?

Related: Caucus thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3123469/posts) states based on the Vatican’s own survey (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2013/11/vatican-releases-full-text-of-document-and-survey-questions-for-2014-synod-of-bishops-on-the-family/

Before the Vatican ACTUALLY did its OWN poll, they would blow off every poll and survey that came down the pike.

They had to – really. To even acknowledge or lend any credence whatsoever to the results of past surveys would be to admit that there has been a never before in the life of the Church anything like it collapse of the faith.

That would immediately necessitate a conversation of how this happened, which would lead directly back to the bishops...Every excuse in the books – anything to deny, lie or refuse to comply with the truth.

Well, they can’t do that ANY MORE. These are the Vatican’s OWN OFFICIAL numbers – and they show – heck in some cases – results EVEN WORSE than originally thought...

So consider the whole picture. On the one hand, we have an official Church survey PROVING what we have long known – global apostasy as John Paul termed it.

And then we have prominent Church leaders who couldn’t care less and who come out and say it publicly. They are more concerned with the press ASKING about IT then they are with the actual IT.

Nothing new here. This is what RCs keep denying when i provide the evidence: /RC-Stats_vs._Evang

Other issues of doctrine in the Catholic Church were decided based in part on the Sensus fidelium which literally means 'sense of the faithful. I wonder if this will also be the case on these points?

The faithful are not divided.
