In his speech to the Rota, the Pope said a judge on a Church tribunal must sympathise with the “mentality and legitimate aspirations” of the community he serves, and thus render “justice that is not legalistic and abstract, but appropriate to the needs of concrete reality.”
That is that frightening. Let’s just toss out the Ten Commandments then. Let’s toss out the Sacrament of Marriage.
Yeah, that doesn’t sound good, but for some reason, with this topic, I’m withholding judgment. Things aren’t clear o where this is headed, but it won’t be long before we know exactly what is going to happen. I certainly won’t be surprised if/when Francis makes huge changes that go against Traditional Catholic teaching. I’ll be more surprised if he doesn’t.
