‘If I am too stupid to make you understand, it’s your fault!”
As a kid I always thought it was my responsibility to seek And find God even if authority figures were pointing in the wrong direction.
Spadaro is mistaken. The answer has never been given clearly. It was only exposed when Bergoglio's private letter to the bishops of Argentina was leaked. It took the Vatican days to admit that the letter was authenic.
Bergoglio is, by nature, a stealth heretic. And sometimes a public one.
The first thing you learn when you begin learning how to think is that a statement is true or false, and that there is no middle ground between true or false. The original “binary”.
“Don’t know” and “maybe” don’t count. What you know doesn’t matter. This is about the objective truth of the statement.
Looks like the pope was out drinking when they gave that lesson in seminary.
Spadaro would have made a great employee at Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.
Binary questions must be answered when a pope promulgates new doctrine at odds with existing doctrine. The binary question: if both doctrines can not be true at the same time... which one is true?
I think we’ve successfully reached the point that I’ve seen suggested elsewhere. His silence is consent for the misinterpretations — for if he answers one way he is outed as a heretic, and if he answers the other, his revolution dies.
No one gets any grace from sacrilegious Communions.
I have known this, literally, since I was SEVEN YEARS OLD, as has every properly-instructed First Communicant.
Adulterers cannot be “fortified” by making sacrilegious Confessions and Communions.
I think, at this point, there isn't any article, blog, etc that sheds any further light on this matter for me. We are in a holding pattern until The Four actually follow through on their promised "formal correction". I'm not convinced that it will actually happen, so I will believe it when I see it.
I read the whole article and my Gaydar is alarming. Spadaro's behavior through all of this has been childish, petulant, hysterical, shrill, personal and girly. He referred to the four cardinals as "witless worms." In this article, he refers to the circumspect, terse questions of the cardinals as "yelling" and then turns around and talks about his and the Pope's response as "serene dialog", as if invective like "rigid" (repeated ad nauseaum), "doctors of the law" and "witless worms" are examples of "serene dialog".
This guy is a fully paid up member of the lavender mafia. He's a real sissy boy.
Specifically this:
As the same website has now also revealed, in a separate article although Professor Spaemann appears not yet to know of this speculation the other two prelates who had earlier also signed the dubia which were sent to Pope Francis are in all probability the retired Curial Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes of Germany and His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
The two other mystery signers of the dubia. I thought the involvement of an Eastern Rite bishop was particularly interesting, and might have something to do with the fact that Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew I has suddenly, out of nowhere, found the need to become involved in this mess.
Eastern Rite involvement is a bit of a "wild card" and one on which Francis may not have counted.
But the Popes do give euphemistic and abstract answers to direct questions, binary and otherwise; always trying to be like Paul - all things to all men.
There are lots of statements whose truth or falsity are matters of opinion.
You mean additional prelates who wrote the private letter? Also, it sounds like this is only at the level of speculation.
Why assume he was drunk instead of a fundamental moral character issue with him? :)
But if true, it could mean that has potential for upheaval beyond the confines of the Latin Rite.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Bergoglio's housemother, and Prelate of the Vatican Bank, is also a verified member of the lavender mafia.
Given the universal nature of the moral teachings, it should be beyond the confines of the Latin Rite.
