So are you admitting that by changing practice, Francis is changing doctrine/theology?

No. He's not changing doctrine. He's allowing "pastoral practice" to proceed untethered from it, which is pastoral malpractice to the highest degree.

This is the very definition of corruption.

Don't you get the significance of that?

To use Cardinal Robert Sarah's metaphor, he's not throwing doctrine into the dumpster. Oh, no. He's putting doctrine in a jeweled reliquary, giving it a couple whiffs of incense and then storing it in the back of the closet behind the old altar linens, where (maybe) seminarians will still be permitted access to it if they want to write their feckless theoretical academic papers.

He's savvy enough not to officially rescind anything in the Catechism or Canon Law.

Rather, he turns it into a dead letter.

In some ways, this is worse, because the disorder, though deadly, is subtle enough to slip past the immune system.
