Pope’s Teaching on Divorce Divides Bishops [Catholic Caucus]

Wall Street Journal ^ | July 10, 2016 | Francis X Rocca

Conservative and liberal prelates in the Catholic Church have put forth sharply different readings of Pope Francis’ teaching on divorce—a situation complicated by the pontiff’s own ambiguity.

“There may not be a schism in the sense of a rejection of papal authority, but there is going to be a debate in the church about the directions in which the pope is taking the church and whether we should go along or we should resist,” said Father [Gerald] Murray [of EWTN}.

Pope Francis’ teaching on divorce

"His" teaching shouldn't cause debate either way.

If the Pope's teaching on divorce is what the Church has always taught on it, the any bishop who says otherwise is a heretic.

If the Pope's teaching *differs* from what the Church has always taught, then he is the heretic, and no one owes him any obeisance on this point.

Either way, there's no debate.
