And process theology is just warmed over Hegelian dialectic.

No. And, as always with this “pope”, the truth is exactly opposite of what he says.

Behind EVERY instance of “rigidity” (that has been tested by the trials of time, and is based on the foundations of faith, lies stability and safety.

It is the false pride of always and needlessly demanding “change” (evolution, progressive, socialism, ...) that CREATES instability and chaos!

So can we expect God to eventually begin siding with pelosi and begin cheerleading the slaughter of innocent children?

It all follows the theology of an evolving “everything” from the earth to humanity to the Omega point - The Cosmic Christ.

Read de Chardin as an 18 year old senior in a Catholic School. It was heady stuff at that time going into Vatican II with the idea of an evolving church.

It is rather bunkus to my very aged eyes now.

It would seem to me that the concept of an evolving God places limits on the God of Creation who exists outside time and the universe, and makes the Christ an artifact of history.

IMHO. Been a long time since I have read de Chardin.

“So can we expect God to eventually begin siding with pelosi and begin cheerleading the slaughter of innocent children?”

************************************************************

Why certainly anyone can see God and Holiness in the death of children. It’s right there in the Bible, somewhere around where God tells us how righteous it is to have sex with children, and how good and righteous homosexuality is, and right there around where he commands man to marry man, and woman to marry woman. I’m telling you this Pope is absolutely kicking it. God and the media and the Democrats are all on the same page, and the world is going to be a better and more righteous place.

(no /s needed please)

“Let us always remember that behind every form of rigidity lies some kind of imbalance.”

The Pope simply forgot to add the Bible verses he based this on, Matthew 7:24-27, where Jesus said there should be nothing solid in the world and we should not look for it. /off SARC

This Pope may have only intended to prove Luther correct, but he is rapidly showing the wisdom of Calvin and John Knox. Pretty soon, he will have people begging for Cromwell, too.

" . . . we are urged to read the signs of the times with the eyes of faith . . . "

It was in the wake of Vatican II that many in the Catholic Church (and liberal Protestantism) began to follow "the signs of the times," and they - amazingly - viewed the leftist counter-culture of the sixties as the primary sign of the times, using it as their model and inspiration. I clearly remember how left-leaning Catholics viewed the counter-culture with envy, feeling that they were being left behind. So they jumped aboard, and the result is what we see now.

At the same time, Eastern Orthodox, traditional Catholics, and Evangelicals viewed the same signs of the times with an opposite instinct - that the signs of the times pointed to mass apostasy, flirtation with Eastern religions, false ecumenism, syncretism, sexual anarchy, drug abuse, and family and cultural decline.

There is also the parable about building on a solid foundation of rock, and Peter was dubbed “the rock,” and Jesus was the “cornerstone” - all symbols of firmness and stability.

“Pope”???

Frankie vomits heresy. Again.

We learned The Faith in our youth. Keep The Faith. Teach The Faith to all children in your care. Frankie’s verbal regurgitations and excretions have little to do with The Faith.

Sorry. All my life I’ve been accused of being too subtle. I think that Matthew 7 citation may be the parable you refer to, where Jesus says to build your house upon the rock, and not upon the sand. I was being a bit too sarcastic.

....” an attempt to weave theory into theology”.....

They've been ‘weaving’ a great deal more than evolution into their doctrines and theology for centuries, God wasn't and isn't in those changes or processes of distortion and deception........Further, the Popes ideas of seeking a Utopian world of all faiths inclusiveness, permissiveness and acceptance for any and all behaviors without judgment or consequences is diametrically opposed to the clear teachings recorded in Gods Word.

If I was looking to destroy the Roman Catholic Church I would make sure that someone like Franky was the Pope.

We are imperfect beings, and will always be so, hence our need for salvation and our gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice that paid our way into heaven.

However, it seems like the Pope is insinuating that Perfection itself (God/Jesus/Holy Spirit), can be perfected.

My question to the Pope would be, “Do you think God needs to be perfected?

circlecity : " And process theology is just warmed over Hegelian dialectic."

Hegelian-Dialectic theory (philosophy)
SOURCE :< https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/hegelian-dialectic >

Step #1 : An "assertible proposition ( thesis )
Step #2 : is necessarily opposed by an equally assertible and apparently contradictory proposition ( antithesis ),
Step #3 :the mutual contradiction being reconciled on a higher level of truth by a third proposition ( synthesis )"

Step #1: is orthodoxy/ fundamental belief
Step#2: is contradictory belief
Step #3: is reconciliation, or compromised belief as an 'end-result'

I do not believe in 'Evolutionary Theology' as identified by the catholic Church leader.
I do NOT believe that my eternal God has changed, nor do my religious beliefs need updating.
That is why I refer to the Roman Catholic leader as the 'catholic Jesuit poop'
which includes the small 'c' for catholic, and intentional misspelling of his title.
I do not think that alternative religious belief are grounds for killing someone (Islam),
nor do I believe that worshiping pagan idols in the Vatican, or elsewhere is acceptable,
since many have been warned of apostasy in the Church.
My eternal relationship with my God is too important to me to need updating
or include a more humanistic and pagan concept of an updated Baal.
Francis is the 'jesuit catholic poop',.. just NOT MY POPE !

Love it! For whatever reason, when I read your response, I hear it in the French accent used by the soldiers on the castle wall in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. LOL!
