Aren’t these the kinds of questions the cardinals should have considered and received answers for BEFORE making him a Pope?
The whole process of determining a Pope is supposed to be a God thing. God doesn’t make mistakes, so what went wrong?
What happens if the cardinals decide that he isn’t fit for the job? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in my lifetime and don’t have a clue as to what would come next.
The question is whether we want a church that is small but very pure or one that large but stands for less. The second is the easier choice, but the first is, in my opinion, the only way to assure the long-run strength and health of the church.
They’re asking him to clarify a document that he wrote. They couldn’t have known before he was elected that he was going to attempt to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion. Dubias are issued frequently for all sorts of issues. They’re just not usually directed at the Pope.
Oops, I should have responded to your second point too.
No, the Holy Ghost does not pick the Pope. The cardinals in the conclave are guided by the Holy Ghost but they can ignore Him... But everything happens for a reason. God will have good come out of this.
