Ow, that’ll leave a mark
“Archbishop Geremias Steinmetz of Brazil gives communion to Sheikh Ahmad Saleh Mahairi in late August 2023. (Credit: Youtube screen capture.)”
Arguably, neither is Archbishop Steinmetz.
“...the very man who has rejected the title of “Vicar of Christ”.”
Exactly This Guy’s current bone to pick with Bergoglio.
When and where has Bergoglio claimed this title? Hoisted this standard? Maddening...
As a protestant who has attended Mass for 15 years ( Catholic spouse and kids) without Communion, I say you’re wrong
No transubstantiation for me
Do you receive holy communion at the Catholic masses you attend?
If so, you’re in a state of mortal sin, whether you’re a Catholic or not.
Is there some part of “ without communion” you are not comprehending?
You can sleep tonight reassured that my mortal soul was not jeopardized by consuming a wafer
Do your catholic children sleep well at night, knowing that only one of their parents has rejected the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church?
Do you tell your children that they are just consuming a “wafer”?
The Catholic school they attended with its mean teachers and snotty kids…did a pretty good job of turning them against faith in anything. But at least I tried and they got the sacrament of communion, if they ever choose to trust again. It was a gift from me, to them and my spouse, to be raised as Catholic, whether they ever fully absorb it.
Bitter judgmental zealots like you…and the idiot Pope that usurped Benedict…. are what keep me in my protestant safe space.
Enjoy your vision of salvation!

That's pretty pathetic: blaming teachers for your childrens' bad formation, while washing you're own hands.
If they were bad teachers, why didn't you yank your kids out that environment?
I’m not Roman Catholic, but Scripture is clear that communion is for followers of Christ alone. It is blasphemy to offer the bread and wine to someone who rejects Jesus as Savior.
