Pope Francis marks 50th anniversary of Synod’s institution
“Finally,” explained Pope Francis, “the synodal process culminates in listening to the Bishop of Rome, called upon to speak authoritatively [It. pronunciare] as ‘Shepherd and Teacher of all Christians’: not on the basis of his personal beliefs, but as the supreme witness of the Faith of the whole Church, the guarantor of the Church’s conformity with and obedience to the will of God, to the Gospel of Christ and the Tradition of the Church.”
And in totally, we swear, completely unrelated news…
Traits of narcissistic personality disorder: The most telling thing that narcissists do is contradict themselves. They will do this virtually in the same sentence, without even stopping to take a breath. It can be trivial (e.g., about what they want for lunch) or it can be serious (e.g., about whether or not they love you). When you ask them which one they mean, they’ll deny ever saying the first one, though it may literally have been only seconds since they said it — really, how could you think they’d ever have said that? You need to have your head examined!
UPDATE: an explanatory comment from my Guy Inside
“He’s fudging… he’s strongly implying infallibility, but not saying that he will pronounce infallibly.
“He wants everyone to come away with ‘Whoa… this is infallible. We hear and obey!’ but leaving plausible deniability to say, ‘No, no, I never claimed this particular bit was infallible….'”
Talk is one thing but its usually propoganda to throw the scent off. Like terrorsts threatening Obama. Usually sounds scriptish. Its all smoke and mirrors. Vatican assists Isis and is in this game .
Suppose meth use is my Holy Sacrament?
Yer killin me. :-)
“So if you are not Catholic don’t worry about it. Go play golf and STFU. We don’t intervene in snake handling. :-)”
1. Open thread. If you want secrecy, post in a caucus thread.
2. At least the snake people - all 300 of the - have a verse of scripture to hang their practice on... Having said that, please feel free to intervene! Just watch out for the snakes with rattles.
And finally...
3. “Go STFU”
“For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.”
Apostle John
I think you could write everything that you KNOW about the Catholic Church on a postage stamp in capital letters. There is so much misinformation floating around about Pope Francis, mostly because the reporting is coming from left wing news organizations( I know that is redundant).
Catholics and Islam one church???? WTF?
“Finally,” explained Pope Francis, “the synodal process culminates in listening to the Bishop of Rome, called upon to speak authoritatively [It. pronunciare] as ‘Shepherd and Teacher of all Christians”
>The belief that this Pope, any Pope, is the foundation/rock or cornerstone (successor to Peter), and, as we see here, the alleged head of Christianity - in opposition to the NT which says Jesus Christ is both cornerstone and headstone (head) of the church - is what lies at the heart of the Reformation.
I join with the martyrs of medieval times who have been burned at the stake, and all Biblical Christians, who utterly reject such arrogant, narcissistic, and dispicable blasphemy. “Blasphemy,” because mere men have put themselves in the place of Jesus Christ, the true foundational rock and head of Christianity. They attempt to supplant God.
Despite centuries of blending pagan thought and practices into their institution, they steadfastedly resisted the temptation to officially make socialism part of their system. They were once anti-communist, but now with this Marxist Pope before our eyes a dramatic change. Make no mistake about it, with this Pope, socialism/communism has now officially become part and parcel of what the Papists claim as “Christianity.”
If this isn’t the ultimate slap in the face to true Biblical Christianity, which has only Christ their foundational stone and head, and which is also anti-socialist, anti-communist, then I don’t know what is!
Your posts are hilarious and well stated. You go, girl! (I mean, before you and I, join with the Islamists, of course...)
LOL!
Since your comment appears with two question marks and one “I-imagine”, and a couple of grossly ignorant insults that Catholics don’t know their Bible, and that only some Catholics are Christians, and then end your little opus with a declarative conclusion for which you posit no basis for having, other than you can read plain English of the Holy Bible, so long as your interpretation doesn’t precede 1954. LOL!
Perhaps you may be interested in becoming informed. There are plenty of Catholic websites to educate yourself. Catholic Answers, sounds like the place for you.
Otherwise, you may need reminding that Mr. Robinson has cleaned up the place from open ended Catholic snark and bashing that got out of hand. Catholics are trying to appreciate that they too must live up to the same rule. So, I won’t lay you to the curb today. I will just suggest that you spend your time more profitably by searching for a clue. The first shocker is that it was, indisputably, the Catholics who gave you your Holy Bible. Catholics certainly fear nothing that is contained therein.
Again I repeat myself if you are not Catholic why do you care what Catholics do or think?
Did Jesus command you to attack your fellow Christians also? If so my advice to you is the same. Get off Meth and you won’t hear from Jesus so often. :-)
Excuse me but it is protestants who insisted on reading the Bible and making correct translations of the law in multiple languages.
That being said, the demoniation need not fall into secular sectarianism and argue over the abrogations by science. The spirit is of foundational justice, and all denominations fail in that they tend to make thenwomen spoil the priest and preacher boys instead of following Christ who rejected to be crowned and instead served.
PRICELESS!
You probably NAILED it, too! Who else would speak like this?
From whom did you get the bible that you read.....through the ages I mean....Lutherans????, Methodists???? Unitarians?????, Evangelicals????, Nope...those darned old Catholics....the ones who compiled it, edited it, arranged it, transcribed it, copied it (by hand)preserved it for 1,600 years against all sorts of attempts to silence it....finally published it (the full, not readers digest version) and presented it to you for your education, edification, and aid toward salvation...........
but what do they know......sigh.

Doesn't happen often, two in modern history, the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption.
Ignoring God’s command for those who claim to love God, you double down. Noted.
Onwards.
“Again I repeat myself if you are not Catholic why do you care what Catholics do or think?”
I care about what is purported in my Savior’s name. In this instance, the thread is Catholic-related. If it were cultic or orthodox or anything else, I still care about what is discussed on FR in His name.
“Did Jesus command you to attack your fellow Christians also? 0”
See first sentence. Think.
“If so my advice to you is the same. Get off Meth and you won’t hear from Jesus so often. :-)”
You really need some new material FRiend. :-)
“You really need some new material FRiend.”
I don’t think so. I think you need to spend your afternoons doing something for your own church. The Church of What’s Happening Now probably needs a coat of paint. :-)
Nope It’s a heretical dictatorship based in part on the belief that a very fallible human can speak as the “vicar of Christ” Enjoy the fruits of that one cause here they come....
Oh-Oh-, you obviously missed history class the day or two where they taught about the Christian(Catholic) Crusades against the Moslems....and remember Charles Martell, we need him now!!
