What I don’t understand is how the author of this article can believe that Francis is a “Pelagian Lutheran” and still call him “Pope”. Non-Catholics can’t be pope.
I know, right?
I don’t get it either.
If the Pope is acting badly, blaming the Protestant/Lutheran boogeyman is one of the least mature things to do. Especially when it’s far more likely that he’s communist/liberation theology.
As a lifelong Lutheran I can assure you your pope in no Lutheran. He would be tossed from the confessional Lutheran church in a heartbeat not only for his Roman heresies but also for his many heresies against Christianity. As long as he is pope he belongs to the Roman Catholics lock stock and barrel. If they don’t like it they should toss him, but pawning him off on the Lutherans is a no go.
Maybe this will help...a number of people say that Donald Trump is NOT their President but as long as he lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, is known throughout the world as the President of the United States, can hire or fire anyone he wants for the Cabinet, signs bills which enact them as the law of the land, is able to pardon criminals, travels onboard Air Force One, is the Commander and Chief of our armed forces, etc., then he IS the President.
Pope Francis IS the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, no matter who likes it or not.
