So those 4 Cardinal are not part of the College of Cardinals?
So now they’ve gone from being ambiguous (the paragraph in Amoris Laetitia) to trying to deceive (Cupich saying that the bishops had voted on it, without saying they had voted it down) to flat-out lying?
> he also has been under critique for questioning whether Jesus Christ really was opposed to homosexuality.
Should have been defrocked.
The elites of all stripes are realizing that the pendulum has reached its apex and if they don’t cram through their fundamental transformation right now they will never be able to.
Just as science isn’t about consensus, neither is religion. There is faith and truth. If you’ve been asked a question, answer it. Deflecting to how many friends you have doesn’t serve the cause of truth.
The Pope has sown confusion. He should clear it up. If he is in error, admit it. If he is not, he should be able to defend his teaching.
Without having reviewed any particular history, I am suspicious of this BRAZILIAN Cardinal’s opinion on the subject.
Lord, have Mercy.
The ongoing absurdity of this Puntif (pun intended) and this Vatican has brought me to realize that the Church Militant is surely experiencing the purification, represented by our endurance and our devotion to the true faith and Holy Mother Church.
Through the warnings of Sacred Scripture itself and in the words of past Popes of Holy Church, we should not be surprised or taken unaware by the chomping jaws of the wolves.
It should be an honor to be so tested, as we were each created for a time like this. Thanks be to God that we are even still clear eyed, able yet to stand, and not blinded to the prowling evil spirits seeking the destruction of souls.
Pray that we are always made able to stand, by the Grace and Mercy of God, our Saviour.
Really?
I am beginning to think the vatican has adapted the muzzie practice of takkiya.
I’d love to read Dante’s take on our current pope and cardinals.
Well, if they are all in agreement, Francis shouldn’t have any problem giving a clear five word answer consisting of some combination of “yes”es and “no”es to the dubia presented.
If he wants to double down, he can even attach a penalty to it or try to formally promulgate it and make it binding in some comprehensible manner on the whole Church.
Another straw man.
The Church has never excluded anyone. It has always been open to those who accept its teachings.
It is we who separate ourselves from the Church (and Jesus) by our sins freely committed. The doors of the Confessional have always been open to the contrite and repentant.
Perhaps then, the Cardinal should advise the Ope to answer the 4 questions.
Let’s see if there is full support.
The Four Cardinals posed questions that are characterized by simple YES/NO answers.
Why not just answer the questions instead of talking and talking around them? That reaction is too common in politics.
This is a pile of nonsense. Not ALL the Cardinals are with this.
