I did answer; did you not understand the answer ?

[ebb tide]

Because I have liberty

Not on catholic caucus threads.

[ebb tide]

Yes or No? Do agree with the heretic Bergoglio?

[af_vet_1981]

Not on catholic caucus threads.

Yes I do; I'm Catholic; this is a Catholic caucus thread, not a SSPX thread.

Please clarify how the same quote says something different in your article.

Actually, I do not have a problem with this. He is calling on them to witness to them regarding the sacrament. Do you support the sinner who has determined that their sin is in grave danger and answers the call to forgiveness? I sure hope to hell you do!!!

Full context requoted:
Francis told the priests that for “every person and every situation you are called to be fellow travelers to witness and support.”

He urged them to “support” all couples who have determined by themselves that their marriage is invalid and want it officially declared as such.

“When you offer this witness, may your care be also to support all those who have realized the fact that their union is not a true sacramental marriage and want to come out of this situation. In this delicate and necessary work, proceed in such a way that your faithful recognize you not so much as experts of bureaucratic acts or juridical norms, but as brothers who put themselves in an attitude of listening and of understanding,” he said.

I read it in context and saw how absurd the lifesite news propaganda hit piece was.

Isn't Lifesite News a Catholic website? Are the Catholic websites now being accused of fake news/propaganda about Francis?

[Carthego delenda est]

The article you linked to sure does present it quite differently!

Actually, I do not have a problem with this. He is calling on them to witness to them regarding the sacrament.

There is no sacrament or sacramental grace in cohabitation, i.e. fortification.

You don’t appear to be Catholic. You have been proven wrong in saying the posted article is fake news yet you won’t admit it. You have twice falsely implied I’m SSPX (bearing case witness) and you quote protestant bibles.

Is is Catholic to call the Pope by his last name instead respectfully using his given title as the elected Pope of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis ?

[af_vet_1981]

Do you call him Pope Francis ?

[ebb tide]

Do you consider the man below to be Catholic?

The Pope Francis Little Book of Insults

[af_vet_1981]

It is cognitive dissonance on a Catholic Caucus thread to argue that Pope Francis is not the successor of Pope Benedict XVI. Are you asserting neither of them are Catholic Popes ?

[ebb tide]

Where I have mentioned Pope Benedict XVI?

Are you making up stuff again?

[af_vet_1981]

1. Do you recognize Pope Benedict XVI as a Catholic Pope ?
2. Do you recognize Pope Francis as a Catholic Pope ?

[af_vet_1981]

You have been proven wrong in saying the posted article is fake news yet you won’t admit it.

It is fake news, a twisting of Pope Francis' words which I demonstrated by posting the fuller context of his comments from a different source.

[ebb tide]

Nothing was twisted, except maybe your posts and false accusations. Where have I identified with the SSPX?

[af_vet_1981]

The lifesite article was biased and twisted Pope Francis’ words out of context. I’m still awaiting your answer on a Catholic Caucus thread as to whether you recognize Pope Benedict XVI as a Catholic Pope and Pope Francis as a Catholic Pope. It’s a simple pair of questions.
