To: BlatherNaut; ebb tide; annalex

Clearly annalex better understands Francis’ homily than any other traditional Catholic on the internet. All Traditional Catholics know nothing. If I’m not mistaken even the resident Freeper priest took issue with this homily early on in this thread. But Annalex knows all.

It is amazing to me how one minute Francis speaks off the cuff and therefore his comments are simple, or they were mistranslated, or they were taken out of context. But in *this* case, his off the cuff remarks are so theologically deep that we all need to study things like annalex to actually comprehend them.

Fascinating how that works.

To me, it’s much more likely that these off the cuff remarks weren’t thought out that well and he most definitely said something that was NOT traditional AT ALL.

I still wait for Annalex to show me some quotes from saints and other popes that even come close to what Francis said (rather than putting me down) to prove that what he said was in line with Catholic teaching. He hasn’t offered any because there aren’t any out there. This pope speaks novelties at best. Heresies at worst.

God help us. He’s only just begun.

We first need to come to agreement as to what is it he said. You attach to his homily an assertion that Mary accused God of lying. That is not in the homily. The homily points out that at the Cross the promise of Archangel Gabriel seemed to fail, which it did, and concludes that Mary

"was overshadowed with the silence of the mystery that she did not understand, and with this silence, she has accepted that this mystery can grow and flourish in the hope"

When I see an ability to comprehend the written text in you three, I might be willing to do some research for you.
