“No doctrine has changed or will be changed because of what Francis might have said to a woman. End of story.”
What have you really said here? You have said that, because a short conversation between the Pope and a laywoman is unlikely to result in changes to Church doctrine, it therefore follows that Francis has no intent to bring about such changes. End of story.
What? Really?
Utter nonsense.
One can accept the obvious truth that this short conversation is not likely to change doctrine without in any way falling for the nonsensical assertion that Francis is planning no changes in doctrine
The priest at the church near me almost peed his pants rejoicing at Benedict’s exit and Francis’s election.
And that was specifically because he—and everyone else with half a brain—can see that Francis is a theological leftist and will be encouraging all sorts of things that no faithful priest would condone.
What are some of the things that Francis would like to see, and will bring about if he can?
1. Women priests.
2. Even before that can be introduced, women “pastors” who take charge of a diocese in the absence of a priest.
3. Prohibition of the Tridentine Mass.
4. Prohibition of Latin in every possible context.
5. Divorce.
6. Provision of the Eucharist to unrepentant, flaming sodomites.
7. Sodomite play-pretend marriage.
8. Misuse of Catholic social justice theology to support communism and, ultimately, the removal of the Catholic Church as an obstacle to establishment of the communist worker’s paradise throughout the world.
9. The flushing of all remaining scraps of reverence out of the Mass.
10. Malicious mistranslation of Church documents with the intent of robbing them of their power to move hearts.
11. The increased use of horrible, horrible anti-music at Mass, until Catholic music passes from living memory.
12. The promotion of bad theology that endangers the immortal souls of all Catholics.
13. Vicious persecution of all who oppose any of these goals, just as SSPX was persecuted under JPII for their efforts to keep liturgical Latin and the Tridentine Mass alive.
These are just a few of the things that the enemies of the Church are determined to bring about.
I really think you misunderstood me based on your post #62 to NKPVet. I tend to agree with you about Francis.
“is a theological leftist”?????? I needed a good laugh.
No abortion, no women ordaination, no homosexual “marriage”. No communion unless your first marriage is annulled. Francis will not change any of this teachings? The reason? They are the Word of God. The doctrine of the Catholic Church is not up to the personal whims of any particular person. Doctrine is not determined by a show of hands. The Catholic Church does not change to appease the people. The Catholic Church can not change what God has declared. If you’re a Catholic you of all people should know this.
Oh go ahead and say it Pope Francis is the anti-Christ. The Holy Spirit has really selected someone to lead His church that’s not really a Catholic. Afterall he believes in no Catholic doctrine which means he is either the anti-Christ or a heretic just waiting for the right chance to convert to protestantism.
