Scrupulosity or Scruples has a particular meaning in Catholicism. It has nothing to do with wanting a return to ritual and tradition no matter how much this guy spins it.

Indeed. There is nothing wrong with being scrupulous.

I’m a lapsed Episcopalian, but wouldn’t the Catholic Church want to encourage discussion with its flock? Very weird.

The current Pope seems to be a communist. Somebody tell me I’m wrong...please.

He's not called Red Frank for nothing. I saw a post today that said "I remember when "Is the Pope Catholic?" was a rhetorical question". Perfectly expresses my thoughts about him.

Rosica is a POS of the first order. He and his buddy who lives in the Vatican hotel have been a disaster to Catholics worldwide.

An interesting read is this Canadian website, and yes, there are lots of similar sites for Catholics who long for the days of John Paul and Benedict.

What do they say about us now? What do they say about the pope? People are speaking about our leader who is unafraid to confront the sins and evils that have marred us,” he continued..

uh, the problem is that he is not "confronting" them, but comforting them in their sin.

Rosica is a kingpin in the Gay Mafia in the Vatican, of which Bergoglio is the head.

If you let a stupid, Marxist Pope drive you away from the sacraments, he wins.

He’s for sure a leftist socially and socialist economically. Can’t imagine he’d be a communist unless he wanted the Catholic church murdered and imprisoned. He might not mind that...I don’t know him.

Very interesting. I was completely unfamiliar with the meaning of scruples within Catholicism.

I can see how the lefties would want to take it and twist it around to make it more useful for their purposes.

Our Lord offers exceptional and amazing Graces to those who stick it out the end through thin and thinner. If you want to be fed by truth without silliness go to Latin Mass. Your son would enjoy serving that Mass.

It has nothing to do with expressing dismay at awful changes in the Church. It has to do with an unreasonable fear of self-sinfulness. A psychological condition that the Church recognized very early on in its history.

I guess he doesn’t like being exposed so decides to play leftist word games.

The pontiff “has changed the image of the church..."

'Cuz that's been the primary job of the pope for over 2,000 years! Who needs that outdated salvation stuff! /s
