I don’t need Pope Francis’ forgiveness but I’m sure he’d forgive your homophobic screen name. As a former altar boy and 16 years of Catholic schooling, I don’t need to be chided on whether or not I should be ashamed. If you think the pope is “infallible” you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Maybe I should have put “lol” after my post. The church has major problems and pope Francis isn’t helping at all. It would be nice if he came out and condemned the school but he didn’t. It would be nice if the democrat “Catholics’ Kerry, Biden, Pelosi etc were denied Communion but they’re not. As long as you keep dropping coin in the basket you’re cool!

Global leader?

Is that what you think of this man? That is the same position Lucifer offered to Jesus Christ if He threw Himself off the mountain cliff.

The adjective paptist is one thing, but papolatry is quite another.

It only takes a couple of drops of poison, whether in an airplane or newspaper interview, a homily, an encyclical that appears to be co-authored by the U.N., etc., to ruin whatever pro-life message he may try to portray.

Francis was silent before and after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of queer marriage. The same with the recent referendums in Ireland and Italy.

The Vatican made quite a display of Francis' private meeting with a lesbian couple, engaged to be "married" and another one with a married gay couple, one of whom was his former student. Photos of both meetings have been widely published. But Francis' meeting with Kim Davis seemed not have been initiated by him, but caught him by surprise. That meeting was later downplayed by the Vatican and there are no photos of the same.

Excuse typos, I’m on my Kindle. I meant to say, shall we post “The Instruction” in serial form here on FR, so we can discuss it with our Jewish Freeper friends?

Clueless response. Are you attempting to be deliberately divisive here? If so, not very Christian of you.

Here's your homework. Read it and get back to us.

HUMANUM GENUS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON FREEMASONRY

[Mrs. Don-o]

Inviting people into a discussion is divisive?

O--Kayyy...

[ebb tide]

The Pope didn't complain about Catholics "breeding like rabbits". He said --- if you will check the original quote and context --- that it's it’s not true that to be a good Catholic "you have to be like rabbits". You will see that --- in the context of DEFENDING the teaching of Humanae Vitae against artificial birth control --- he was likewise defending the use of licit means (periodic abstinence) to space pregnancies given sufficiently serious reasons.

Yet less than a year later, he proposes artificial birth control for eugenic reasons by quoting false history. False history created by members of his own Jesuit order.

[BlatherNaut]

The church has major problems and pope Francis isn’t helping at all.

Fact.

[ebb tide]

And some don't want Pope Francis ever, ever, ever to be right.

Give me some time. I'm trying to think of time when he was. I'm sure he was a few times, but he always seems to negate them later on.

[BlatherNaut]

Inviting people into a discussion is divisive?

No, but falsely implying that the Church's condemnation of Freemasonry is related to Judaism is divisive (as well as weak).

From your link:

>>He cited the case of a woman he met who was pregnant with her eighth child after seven cesarean sections.<<

>>“That is an irresponsibility!” he said. The woman might argue that she should trust in God. “But God gives you methods to be responsible,” he said.<<

Where did Francis get his medical degree?

[Mrs. Don-o]

I think he was in error there.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You want the quotes from “The Instruction”?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Some Catholic FReepers invariable negate them, and immediately.

[Mrs. Don-o]

This was a true turning point: when Fr. Federico Lombardi said that the Pope's dangerously ambiguous statement was not just about postponing pregnancy for sufficient reasons by licit means, but was indeed about artificial contraceptives, and Pope Francis did not correct him.

I'll be posting something I wrote about this on FR shortly.

[BlatherNaut]

Take any complaints you may have to Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII (the two popes who asked that it be published). Or do you reject their teachings while embracing Francis’ globalist, anti-life cult of personality?

[ebb tide]

Yes. They negate his unorthodox statements immediately; and good for them.

[heterosupremacist]

The Pope is only infallible Ex Cathedra and this is not my opinion, rather it is a fact.

I also am a former altar boy with a parochial education, but what does that have to do with anything?

Finally, homophobic is a nonsensical word, any Catholic should acknowledge that...

Have a pleasant day.

[Mrs. Don-o]

No, you've misread me. You said "I'm trying to think of time when he was [right]. I'm sure he was a few times, but he always seems to negate them later on."

Then I said "Some Catholic FReepers invariably negate them [the "right" statements.]"

And then you said, "Yes. They negate his unorthodox statements immediately."

Hold on there. I noted that some FReepers were negating his "right" statements.

Wittingly or not, you are consistently distorting what I say. That makes communication truly impossible.

Bye.

[ebb tide]

Vade in pace.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Et pax -— cum spiritu tuo.

[Mrs. Don-o]

"...embracing Francis’ globalist, anti-life cult of personality"

You know very well I don't embrace that. What a craptitious idea.
