One heretic praising another. And don't believe for one second that Francis did this without meaning. He has already chastised a Catholic mother of eight children for being "crazy".
And this article has been published in a Catholic Church's bulletin.

Thomas Aquinas turning in grave?
The parallels between the political and the religious machinery are uncannily alike.
The authority of his office MY FOOT.
The Pope of Rome has NO AUTHORITY to change the deposit of the faith. Period. Full stop. Any Catholic who thinks he does is severely misinformed and ought to read up on Honorius I.
Liberal masquerade as for the common man, and they are the ones who, having procured an office, seek to expand its autocratic power beyond all reason.
The Pope has one job: to protect the revelation passed down by Christ to the Apostles. If he fails at that, he needs to be removed.
I sure hope SSPX doesn’t reconcile with the Vatican and compromise their positions. Then I’d be essentially without a truly Catholic organization.
Typical “New Order” church.
I’m not surprised, but then again it seems you and I are on the same page. Most seem to think Francis is an anomaly.
” Instead, “it is a source of objective inspiration for the deeply personal process of making decisions”.”
So the discovery of natural law through reason is replaced by “objective inspiration” mitigated (or vitiated) by the “personal process of making decisions”.
It would seem to be that when we can know natural law by reason its application is through Divine Law through revelation. Instead, we have trivial inspiration replacing reason and Divine Law. Either way we are left with an insipid theology.
One has to be blind not to see that Pope Paul was right. But we seem to be blind to reality, even to what is in front of us. No doubt that western society is decadent. No wonder that the scourge of radical Islam has emerged.
Truly, the more screamin’ obvious it becomes that Humanae Vitae was right, the more these shallow sophists flick it away like a piece of lint. It is breathtaking how obtuse people can be when they really want to be.
What if he speaks "ex cathedra"?
At this rate, everything any pope says is excused as “ex cathedra”, preserving the pretense of infallibility by never actually identifying any statement as such.
“What if?” Then he isn’t Pope.
We’ve been told not everything he says is official unless it’s ex cathedra. Are you saying otherwise?
Your question makes no sense because you don’t know how to use Catholic terminology properly.
Well by all means explain it to us.....if you can.
What’s your question?
Remember, it is Christ’s Church, not the Pope’s, and it is He who sustains its teaching authority and who ensures that the gates of Hell never prevail against it. If Christ let the Pope speak falsely ex cathedra, that promise would be null and void.
Remember how Paul rebuked Peter’s behavior, not his teaching?
And the case of Honorius is also instructive. He never taught Monothelitism, never formally proclaimed it. But he played cute with Sergius, refused to condemn his error, and for that earned an anathema from an Ecumenical Council.
The perpetual verginity refutes your statement.
