Heartbreaking.

Tell me about it.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Pope Francis hasn't written any encyclicals. This was an Apostolic Exhortation, which Cardinal Burke says contains no definitions of doctrine and is not a part of the papal magistgerium.

Burke: "Not Part of the Papal Magisterium" (Link)

It was indeed a stupid thing for Pope Francis to day. Remember when in 2006 (the Regensberg speech) Pope Benedict asked, in an academic philosophical forum, whether Islamic doctrine had roots in the Logos (Reason) --- and the Islamosphere's response was rioting on 3 continents and 19 people dead, including an elderly nun who cared for orphans, who was shot in the back.

Magdi Cristiano Allam and Pope Francis should have a good, long talk.
