Double-Tongued Cardinal Coccopalmerio

Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, speaks in contradictions.

Talking to ncregister.com (January 2) he correctly said that remarried divorcees cannot be admitted to Holy Communion because they live in manifest grave sin.

But a second later he said the opposite. Speculating on the case of adulterers who want to change their lives but "cannot do so", he claimed that they were "only in objective sin", not in a "subjective sin". Such a distinction is purely academical. In reality sin either exists in a person or it doesn't.

Coccopalmerio's theory implies that he is affirming the fourth of the five Dubia which asks: “Can there be circumstances and intentions that excuse or even justify an evil act?”

Such an affirmation is heretical because the Council of Trent condemned the idea, that God's commandments are impossible to keep.

Never has there been a nuttier group of leftists running the Church. These buffoons won’t be satisfied until the Moooslims capture Vatican City, and the Sistine Chapel is reduced to rubble, as has happened to so many other great Christian shrines.

Who are the “prots” you speak of?

This is a Catholic Caucus thread.

Sin cannot ever be subjective - yet, it MUST be considered objective according to all sinners who disregard the Commandments for their own selfish reasons. ***“Can there be circumstances and intentions that excuse or even justify an evil act?”*** Uh, no. Never. "Such an affirmation is heretical because the Council of Trent condemned the idea, that God's commandments are impossible to keep." "... God's commandments are impossible to keep. Difficult, but not impossible. I can reply (privately) if you doubt my commitment to the Mosaic Law and The COMMANDMENTS. These are not merely ten suggestions, Our Blessed Lord has made His Commands known to all...
