The Ten Commandments are at the heart of most legal systems in the world.
No moral norms, no law.
Hence lawlessness reigns.
I believe he's in material heresy right now, Whether he's in formal heresy I suppose is something for canon lawyers or the CDF to decide. We are not under the rule of canon lawyers, of course. But we are under the rule of Christ. Nothing can change that
As you no doubt are aware, a heretic is someone who obstinately doubts or denies a dogma of the Faith; heretics are not Catholics and cannot be members of the Church. They have no part in the Body of Christ. Pope Leo XIII actually calls this immediate self-expulsion from Church communion a “divinely instituted means for the preservation of unity” (Satis Cognitum, n. 9)
1 John 3:1-10
Pope Francis needs to study the Holy Bible imo, as much as the uniparty Congress needs to study and respect the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
Isaiah 53:36 shows that the prophet had lamented that we have all gone astray, each of us turning to his own way.
And Matthew 5:18 shows us that Jesus taught that the least stroke of the pen will not disappear from the Scriptures until everything is fulfilled.
Yes...another point: only God judges people on a subjective level, so this Pope and his sycophants are trying to play God. Someone may do something objectively sinful, yet be subjectively blameless for reasons known only to God. The point of the Church is to teach OBJECTIVE rules. For example, two women who are ten weeks pregnant both have abortions. Objectively, the actions are evil and exactly the same. However, we can bet our merciful God sees why one woman may be more culpable than than the other. The Church’s job is to elucidate the rules; God will decide why those who broke them were Guilty/Not Guilty/Guilty with an Explanation, etc.
And on what norms will God judge all humans?
His norms, of course. The Ten Commandments, The Beatitudes, etc.
And we can be anti-immigrant now?
Because the Pope has been pretty judgmental about that recently.
The “Roman church” [sic] is completely defined in your view by what some functionary says the Pope thinks? Seriously?
Not my job to judge. That’s God’s role last time I checked. I’m supposed to hold myself separate and apart from those who relish in sin. At least that’s what my Bible says.
Look on the bright side: At least he isn’t a Borgia.
But can I attend the Latin Mass without being called “rigid” or “neo-Pelagian”?
The reference is to administrative power, not any “power” to contradict revealed truth.
Naw, it's even better than that! I'm goin fishing, cause now there's no limits!!!! POPE said so.
you have to hold people to general norms or all is chaos.
What a twit. He’s really likes those “Francis special” kneepads I see.
“The reference is to administrative power, not any “power” to contradict revealed truth.”
A distinction without a difference.
L
Now changed to Ten suggestions? <\sarcasm>
At least that's what my Bible says.
Let’s face it - it isn’t religion’s place to judge - the job is to preach the good news of the Gospel and provide valid Biblical Principles so folks are aware. God is the only Judge that matters and we aren’t qualified to do His job.
This marxist a hole couldn’t carry John Pauls jock.
>>The “Roman church” [sic] is completely defined in your view by what some functionary says the Pope thinks? Seriously?
No. It is completely defined by what Popes have said and done for 600 years. When a person calls themselves the Vicar of Christ and use that power to alter the interpretation of the Gospel, then the entire office and the organization that supports it cannot be trusted.
In light of all the things that Comrade Pope has said and done, do you accuse the functionary of lying?
