This guy sucks. I am starting to be seriously annoyed by the stupid things this pope and his minions say.
Francis wanted a “poor” Church. He sure is on his way to getting it.
Obviously NOT.
Probably a bad bad translation./sarcasm
“The first is that we should never identify people by their sexual orientation”.
Why not? That’s how they want to be known. Not as a man or a woman, but as a “gay’ man or woman! They are proud of their degeneracy and flout it to the world!
That's what Modernists do.
He should found his own religion.
If an unmarried woman lives with and sleeps with a man, she is a mistress. Now women consider such degradation “empowering”.
Mistresses, prostitutes, etc. are also marked with “real goodness” I suppose.
as my dad used to say: “I sin so Jesus didn’t die in vain”
Crazy. Believe me, I am a sinner, who has cohabitated with my wife of 43 years before we were married but I don’t expect the Pope to celebrate my sins. I am near wits end with the Pope and his liberal cohorts. Craziness
Remove me from your ping list immediately. I don’t believe I ever asked to be on it in the first place.
This is nonsense. Read his message carefully. He talks of pastoral care as a means to conversion. Christ did consort with sinners. You don’t Bible thump like the Pharisees are a way to conversion. This not about a “Jesus franchise.” The Church teaches the eternal verities based on Petrine authority. All the rest is pure mush.
Why do we have to read his message carefully? The Pope and people like this guy mince words so the hope is that anyone who reads them get what they want out of it. BTW, I’m Catholic.
Well, thats a different matter if you think they are being dishonest. I’m not there yet. If it means either “accepting” or “accommodating” deviations from established doctrine I’m with you 100%. I do believe that what we have is an absence of the German mind of BXVI and instead a South American cultural trait to speak somewhat loosely.
see the goodness in the lives of adulterers.
see the goodness in the lives of rapists.
see the goodness in the lives of spouse abusers.
see the goodness in the lives of people who torture animals.
see the goodness in the loves of muslim jihadis.
see the goodness in the lives of abortion butchers.
see the goodness in the lives of whores and pornographers.
see the goodness in the lives of child molesters.
see the goodness in the lives on thieves and burglars.
see the goodness in the lives of drug dealers.
see the goodness in the lives of murderers.
the guy is nus. goodness done by unrepentant reprobates doesn’t give them a pass or minimize their badness.
Nichols and all but one English bishop insist on giving Communion to members of Parliament who are pro-abortion and supported the recent legalization of gay marriage.
Neither the Bible nor the constant teaching of the Catholic Church is the handbook for these apostates.
We are in the midst of a “constitutional crisis” in the Catholic Church—in which the POPE is not Catholic.
Exactly. According to all but one English “Catholic” bishop, Bishop Saint John Fisher, and Saint Thomas More were fools.
Actually, we’ve already reached that point. Only about 12 American bishops, and only about three bishops in all of Europe, insist that people who support sticking scissors in babies’ necks MUST be given Communion.
But his version of “pastoral care” includes giving them Communion. THAT is a mortal sin for the priest, and for the bishop who tolerates it.
You don’t “bring people to Christ” by joining them in mortal sin.
