And with this I come to the key word: to discern. We need to discern. It’s not all black or white, or even grey. It’s all a journey. It’s all a journey. But let’s walk on the right road, the road of Revelation. We cannot walk on another road. 

To hell with the Ten Commandments, mortal and venial sin and the Catholic Catechism; it's all about discernment now and the "development of doctrine".

Critics would be ‘happy’ if ‘we had hung 100 abuser priests in St. Peter’s Square’

AND—Critics would be ‘happier’ if ‘we had castrated 1000 abuser priests in St. Peter’s Square’

Priest abusers: Jesus said to tie a mill-wheel around their necks and throw them in the ocean.

I didn’t read the article, but the premise works.

I’m actually thinking that it certainly would solve the problem.

How many pedo preists would rethink there proclivities ?

All of them.

Blah blah blah. Talk, talk, talk. How about not promoting guys credibly accused of either being abusers themselves or of protecting and hiding abusers? No, that won't do. Better to give a tough sounding speech that you don't mean but gets the newspapers out of your hair, maybe gets the collection plates filled up again.

I just don't believe him. When he talks about discernment, he means "Don't believe anything I say, it's all subject to change without notice". When he talks about rigidity he means "people who have strong beliefs based on biblical teachings are stupid cavemen and should be marginalized until they are gone." This is the pope of today, he's not even Catholic.

What the Saints say about the sin of homosexuality...

What Jorge Bergoglio has to say about the sin of homosexuality:
Who am I to judge?

If the Church had “hung 100 abuser priests in St. Peter’s Square”

Well, it would focus the minds of other potential pedos, wouldn't it?

No, shit-for-brains, I’d be happy if you hung ALL of them.

When the Church hierarchy allows children to be molested and their innocence taken from them, they are no longer have a connection to the Church Peter founded.

He noted, however, that Revelation and moral conscience is “in continual movement to clarify itself” ...

Yep, you have to keep sweeping the light under the rug...

St. Peter Damian: Gay Clergy ‘Are Deserving of Death’

But with Francis' "development of doctrine" and personal "discernment", he has a better understanding of morality now:

Homosexuality, adultery - good

Capital punishment - bad

I would prefer that they be castrated, then burned at the stake.

Maybe try reading the article next time. All this means is that priests and religious are supposed to spy on each other or carry out vendettas on each other (sort of like the fictional charges against Trump) and it will all go to the bishop who, if they are politically inconvenient, will punish them, guilty or not - or protect them - guilty or not. But it will never go to civil legal authorities.

So essentially, he has put McCarrick and his ilk in charge of the whole thing.
