"Father Thomas J. Rosica, Spokesman for Pope Francis says that "Certain other issues, he shared, may also make sense to consider locally, such as polygamy.""

I have nothing to say except to repeat what he has said himself: "Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge such that particularly doctrinal formulations no longer mediate the saving message of God's transforming love?" Does he mean that "Doctrine changes when the Church has leaders and teachers who are not afraid to take note of new contexts and emerging insights?" Or does he mean that, "It changes when the Church has pastors who do what Francis has been insisting: leave the securities of your chanceries, of your rectories, of your safe places, of your episcopal residences go set aside the small minded rules that often keep you locked up and shielded from the world?" The combox is open. You can say what you want.

Just remember, he was trying to sue me by not even referring "directly or indirectly" to anything he might say which would have prevented me from even reporting this to you.

Have a good sleep Tom.

And say your prayers.

"...Regarding the idea of divorced remarried Catholics being able to receive communion, he noted how some assert it would be more difficult to come up with a universal response, but instead makes sense to come up with a regional treatment. He said it may make sense to examine and perhaps treat the situation on a more local, regional, even continental level. Certain other issues, he shared, may also make sense to consider locally, such as polygamy..."

Despite his talks, Francis seems hell-bent on defying the Holy Ghost.

If something’s immoral, it’s immoral. I can’t be immoral for one person, and moral for another.
