My policy re: Pope Francis, right now:
1) Take some aspirin.
2) Pray for his soul.
3) Pray for those under his charge (especially those at risk of being led astray).
4) Avoid as much of his writing as I can.
5) Hide under the bed and pray to the Holy Spirit to send a replacement pope A.S.A.P.
Sede Vacante

The Eveready heretic, Bergoglio, just keep going, going and going...
This Pope just can’t seem to help himself - he has to tell the world his opinions. Why is he the Pope? Does he want to run for head of the UN? Tell him to try politics and get out of the Vatican.
well he’s not the first anti pope we’ve had. So how did we deal with the others in the past?
Ergo, FUPF.
When one reads the below excerpt, it's clear why.
However, the church reaffirms her practice, which is based upon sacred scripture, of not admitting to eucharistic communion divorced persons who have remarried. They are unable to be admitted thereto from the fact that their state and condition of life objectively contradict that union of love between Christ and the church which is signified and effected by the eucharist. Besides this there is another special pastoral reason: If these people were admitted to the eucharist the faithful would be led into error and confusion regarding the church's teaching about the indissolubility of marriage.
Reconciliation in the sacrament of penance, which would open the way to the eucharist, can only be granted to those who, repenting of having broken the sign of the convenant and of fidelity to Christ, are sincerely ready to undertake a way of life that is no longer in contradiction to the indissolubility of marriage.
This means, in practice, that when, for serious reasons such as, for example, the children's upbringing, a man and a woman cannot satisfy the obligation to separate, they "take on themselves the duty to live in complete continence, that is, by abstinence from the acts proper to married couples."[180]
Similarly, the respect due to the sacrament of matrimony, to the couples themselves and their families, and also to the community of the faithful forbids any pastor for whatever reason or pretext, even of a pastoral nature, to perform ceremonies of any kind for divorced people who remarry. Such ceremonies would give the impression of the celebration of a new, sacramentally valid marriage and would thus lead people into error concerning the indissolubility of a validly contracted marriage.
Catholicism has way too much man made theology.
Divorce is clearly explained in God’s word when it’s not a considered a sin.
Divorcees otherwise are guilty of sin and therefore in need of redemption JUST LIKE EVERYONE.
That redemption requires one to be born again, forgiven with the blood of Christ, made new with desire to follow and obey God’s word henceforth, best proclaimed with public testimony and baptism.
Then continue to apply God’s word.
A believer should not be yoked to unbeliever according to God’s word. If a believer knowingly marries or remarries an unbeliever, then continued participation in the Church should not be allowed. If unbelievers are married, when one spouse comes to Christ, they should remain yoked to the unbeliever.
Is there further redemption? Only God can know the heart. A serious heart change is required, evident-ed in actions and word as discerned. An example could be, after a time, public confession by the born again believer to the church body combined with the yoked unbeliever’s public testimony and acceptance of Christ.
I think that you totally misinterpret that entire scenario. He changed NOTHING and opened no doors to remarried divorced Catholics to receive the sacraments thereby endangering no rules pertaining to their reception. He undermined NOTHING and I thought, left no room for doubt that he couldn't even if he wanted to which he didn't.
