Because I’m a Catholic.

So is Pelosi.

How'd you like Francis' latest showboating act of "mercy"? This past Thursday, he asked for all the world's Catholic Churches to hold 24-hour confessions the following Friday and Saturday. How's that for the late notice, an impossible request, but a great PR stunt? Just like his so-called "Year of Mercy".

“So is Pelosi.”

So you’re saying that you and Pelosi are the same? After all, you just said she is Catholic and you claim you are too do you not?

“How’d you like Francis’ latest showboating act of “mercy”? This past Thursday, he asked for all the world’s Catholic Churches to hold 24-hour confessions the following Friday and Saturday.”

I think that’s a great idea. Especially if there was simultaneous adoration going on in the sanctuary for that 24 hours as well.

“How’s that for the late notice,”

It is late notice.

“an impossible request,”

Not at some parishes. If a parish has several priests, it can be done.

“but a great PR stunt?”

What proof do you have that that is what it was?

“Just like his so-called “Year of Mercy”.”

And, again, are you looking to ditch your husband and “marry” another?

By the way, apparently there was a bit more notice than you thought:

“Asked how the faithful around the world can best become involved, the pontifical council’s president, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, told the National Catholic Register last month that the success of the event depends on how much “we priests are convinced about the good of the initiative” because to open churches for such a period of time “is a challenge everywhere.”

See that? LAST MONTH. I guess the word just didn’t get out very well. http://www.aleteia.org/en/religion/article/pope-francis-opens-worldwide-day-of-confession-this-friday-5907801742245888

Just like his so-called "Year of Mercy".

Another "mercy" salvo in the contrived, thematic putsch by modernists to undermine the Sacraments. Kick-off by Kasper (author of the book "Mercy"), relentless focus on "mercy" by Pope Francis and his talking heads, and now a whole year dedicated to the corrupt Kasperian interpretation of this holy virtue. The synod is being packed, with the transparent goal of mainstreaming "serene theology".
