Martin Luther (like Francis) opposed many of the ancient teachings of the Church. But how could he convince people that the historic church was wrong in its beliefs, and that he was right? He needed an authority that he could appeal to, and claim was higher than that of the Universal Church. He seized upon the Bible, introducing a new doctrine, Sola Scriptura, which said that Scripture Alone could be used to define Christian doctrine. The ancient teachings and Apostolic tradition of the Church could then be discarded as of no value whatsoever. So how can Francis do away with that which he is opposed to?

Francis acts as if no pope or council came before he and Vat II and that they arent subject to the council of Trent, other councils, and popes who taught opposite if Francis.

Francis is doing the same, he is introducing tbings contrary to numerous popes, councils, etc. His inviting of the pagan, demonic Pachamama devotees onto sacred ground and blessing the idol and allowing it to be paraded in front of the high altar goes against everything past.

Francis acts as if he and Vat II are pope of popes, council of councils, look upon them and despair! But he cannot ovverride the following:

Ecumenical Counsels, the Magisterium, Sacred Tradition, or the solemn teachings of supreme pontiffs are binding to the faithful, to Francis, etc, and must be a continuation of them from Sacred Scripture all the way through church history until now:

“But when either the Roman Pontiff or the Body of Bishops together with him defines a judgment, they pronounce it *in accordance with Revelation itself,* which all are obliged to *abide by and be in conformity with,* that is, *the Revelation which as written or orally handed down is transmitted in its entirety* through the legitimate succession of bishops and *especially in care of the Roman Pontiff himself,* and which under the guiding light of the Spirit of truth is religiously preserved and faithfully expounded in the Church.”

Why that dirty dog!!


"What more shall I teach you than what we read in the apostle?
For Holy Scripture fixes the rule for our doctrine, lest we dare to be wiser than we ought.
Therefore I should not teach you anything else except to expound to you the words of the Teacher."

 Augustine  (De bono viduitatis)
