In Homily, Pope Warns Against Conflicts Within Hierarchy
Catholic Culture ^ | 2/13/17

Posted on 02/13/2017 6:23:41 PM PST by marshmallow

In his homily at a morning Mass on February 13, Pope Francis said that in the absence of a true sense of brotherhood, conflicts can fester and lead to destruction.

The Pope spoke about how Cain allowed his resentments against Abel to grow until they led them to murder his brother. He said that in the same way, small complaints can grow and “end up destroying the bond of brotherhood.”

The Pope said that these small conflicts can be visible “even among our episcopal colleagues.” He urged the faithful to fight against them, to preserve the sense of brotherhood.

or conflicts can lead to the truth IF that is the goal.

1Co 11:19 But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!

So, what he is really doing is stumping for a Catholic Spring?

More of an anti-Catholic Spring.

He's leading where the faithful already know that the path is away from Jesus Christ, and toward Karl Marx.

I can only see Bergoglio as the “Cain” and Cardinal Burke as the “Abel”.

Cardinal Burke is in the hierarchy, so perhaps to avoid conflict, his questions should be answered.

Podesta essentially mentioned, along side the spirit-cooking in the wikileaks, that what the American Catholic Church needs a good old-fashioned Spring like that muslim thing that happened in Egypt.

The more I read about Francis the more I worry and I know I need to pray.

Rumors have it that the dubia will be answered tomorrow in the affirmation of condoned adultery.

But it is not expected to be answered by Bergoglio or Muller. If it does happen, it will by more formal heresy from Jorge by proxy. Bergoglio is the sneakiness pope in the history of the Catholic Church.

If it is done by proxy, what’s the point? Then it is not a solemn declaration on a matter of Faith and Morals intended to be binding on all the Faithful.

Francis defaced St. Peter’s Basillica with a U.N. light show on the Feast Day of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception.

If he addresses the dubia on marriage, as expected, tomorrow, on the Feast Day of St Valentine, I can’t see it as being innocent coincidence anymore.

That's Francis’ method. He's no different than Pontius Pilate, both washing their hands. Problem is Francis can fool adulterers but he will have to answer to the "God of Surprises" and I fear he may be surprised.

Precisely because he's a heretic.

I have 265 Catholic popes who preceded Bergoglio. Many of them saints. I know who to follow and I don't need protestants telling me otherwise.

Catholics follow Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Pope is supposed to as well.

It almost reads like a veiled threat against Burke. Maybe there is some George Soros money in play here?

A protestant is someone who adheres to Martin Luther’s 93 theses.

A Pope speaks from the Chair of Peter, ex cathedra. He is to be well regarded for defending Doctrine and Dogma, from the Chair, as his words are proven already and re-enforce what is already known.

You are in error to imply fascitiously or seriously that the faithful are too stupid to recognize heresy when they hear it or will recognize it and will nevertheless follow like lemmings. Surely, you jest.

This Pope has done nothing ex cathedra and his controversial mouthings are just that— his personal babblings of opinion.

We have nothing to fear. Bergoglio is no match for the Holy Spirit. We are observers of a catastrophe it causes to the ignorant and foolish, the poorly catechized, for sure, but the Church is God’s own kingdom on earth.

Why do you think the Enemy wants her and mocks her so? There are wolves among the shepherds. The Devil recognizes where God resides and knows His voice. As was Israel, the new Israel, the Church, will be made small also, and surrounded by wolves and mockers, inside and out. Her name is Holy Mother Church, and she is and forever will be Catholic.
