Because he was speaking parenthetically about what the Greeks do.
Francis wasn’t speaking parenthetically when he praised Kasper, in front of the bishops, after Kasper made his case for the Catholic Church to allow giving Holy Communion to adulterers, just as the Orthodox do.
Francis later allowed the same sinful proposal to brought up in the SinNod. Why doesn’t he allow incest to brought up next year?
You have falsely accused me of calling Cardinal Wuerl a homosexual; you have twice implied I’m doing the work of the Devil; yet you deliberatleyl parse interviews to fit your Pollyanna view of Francis.
Any good Catholic would expect a good Catholic pope to immediately shut-down all talk of willingly compounding mortal sin with more sin. But from a previous post (Post 33) of yours, it appears you’re open to such a move, as Francis obviously is. Yet, when I plead the case of the past Magisterium, you accuse me of doing the devil’s work.
It looks like you and I are on different teams; but mine has a better track record than yours.
Again, you read only what you want to read.
