Pro-life Leaders from 13 Countries Accuse Pope Francis of Failing to Uphold Church Teaching
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 12/12/17 | Staff Reporter

One signatory accused the Pope and other members of the hierarchy of spreading errors

Leaders of pro-life organisations from across the world have signed a letter accusing Church leaders, including Pope Francis, of undermining their movement through ambiguous statements and actions contrary to Catholic teaching.

The letter says that over the past 50 years the pro-life movement has “relied in a particular way on the immutable teaching of the Catholic Church, which affirms the moral law with the greatest clarity.”

However, the signatories say that in recent years that teaching has increasingly been replaced by “ambiguity, and even by doctrines directly contrary to the teaching of Christ and the precepts of the natural law”.

The letter then lists the concerns of several documents and letters to Pope Francis over the past couple of years, including the Filial Appeal in September 2015, the ‘Dubia’, the Filial Correction earlier this year, and Fr Thomas Weinandy’s letter last month.

On top of these, the signatories accuse the Pope of statements and actions which “contradict the Church’s teaching on the intrinsic evil of contraceptive acts”, “contradict the Church’s teaching on the nature of marriage and the intrinsic evil of sexual acts outside the union of marriage”.

They also criticise his approval of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which they say “effectively call for member states to achieve universal access to abortion, contraception and sex education by 2030”.

On for another Schism. Time to separate wheat from the Chaff, and it never happens through an institution but breaking from a corrupt institution.

Catholics realizing Frances” is an imposter run by the antichristians.
Guess it’s time to drain the vatican swamp too....lutherans are no better and both taking millions from Obama’s government to haul enemy combatants into the US. They are no longer churches, just government agencies.

Satan has been ~trying~ to hijack the Catholic Church for a long, long time. The Evil One’s plans were certainly in play at Gethsemane.

Amazing indeed. This charade started with the creation of a big government privileged charity non profit called the Fed Reserve to care for the economy.

It all violates the religion and speech establishment clauses. My opinion is that progressif theocracy is being built in America and islamists want a piece of it.
