And the official position of the Church is that some divorced and remarried Catholics, without benefit of annulment, are free to receive Holy Communion.
Pope’s letter to Argentine bishops on ‘Amoris Laetitia’ part of official record
P.S. I don't see you attacking the orthodox cancelled priests because they have been stripped of their faculties by francisbishops.
Try taking off your blinders.
But “Amoris Laetitia” isn’t part of the Magisterium; why would you refer to this?
(Maybe he meant the SSPV.)
We have no reason to suspect that once you reject the authority of Rome, you won't be splintering off into different sects. Even the SSPX is learning this.
Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, told Catholic News Service Dec. 5, “The fact that the pope requested that his letter and the interpretations of the Buenos Aires bishops be published in the AAS means that His Holiness has given these documents a particular qualification that elevates them to the level of being official teachings of the church.
“While the content of the pope’s letter itself does not contain teachings on faith and morals, it does point toward the interpretations of the Argentine bishops and confirms them as authentically reflecting his own mind,” the cardinal said. “Thus together the two documents became the Holy Father’s authentic magisterium for the whole church.”
Like those heretic German bishops who are in your precious "full communion" with Rome?
(Maybe he meant the SSPV.)
Now you're being childish. Not atypical for you.
Barron is an outright heretic who denies the dogma of “extra ecclesiam nulla salus” and supports the homosexualist, James Martin, S.J.
There are plenty of heretics out there running “non-profit” website scams. You have just happened to hitch your wagon to Barron’s. Ride with him to that empty Hell of his at your own peril. He hates the traditional faith and the Catholics who hold it fast, as you also apparently do.
You should be ashamed of pimping such a heretic.
1. You hear the word “visitation,” and you don’t think Mary and Elizabeth. You think Provincial.
Boobie Barron is francisbishop, consecrated in 2015.
One of his co-consecrators was franciscardinal, Blase Cupich.
The heretics promote their own kind. They like to keep it in the “francis-family”.
How much does Barron pay you to parrot and pimp his website?
Robert Barron was ordained a priest in Chicago in 1986.
Guess who was bishop of Chicago in 1986?
Joseph Cardinal Bernadin, another infamous heretic.
Bernadin, Cupich, ... Barron has a long line of sponsors.
It's certainly his right not to address these questions, but until he does so, that document carries absolutely zero weight in the teaching authority of the Church.
The Pope can't change that.
This pope does anything he damn well pleases.
T]he “private” letter of Pope Francis to the Argentine bishops was published in the October 2016 edition of Acta Apostolicae Sedis, after they had issued directives for the application of chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia (the chapter with the famous footnotes on giving communion to the divorced and remarried). Directives which, as has been noted and emphasized here, are anything but clear.
The publication of this letter in the Acta is accompanied by a brief note from the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, together with an official rescript from a papal audience in June 2017, announcing that the Pope himself wanted the two documents — the guidelines and the letter — published on the website of Acta Apostolicae Sedis.
The announcement can only serve to further fuel the confusion and uncertainty surrounding the controversial apostolic exhortation as well as the Pope’s way of doing things, which yet again appears to be a far cry from the clarity and straightforwardness that many of the faithful would expect [from the Holy Father]. He has given no response to the dubia Cardinals, no response to the letters, petitions and other initiatives written by scholars, theologians, and ordinary faithful people who have been confused by the deliberate ambiguity of the document. Yet, at the same time, he has given a veneer of officiality to one letter sent to one member of one bishops’ conference.
To what end? To obligate all to give religiosum obsequium [religious assent] to a magisterium expressed in oblique and ambiguous forms, or to respond without committing himself in a direct response which would express the mind of the Pope in an unequivocal manner to the doubtful and perplexed? One is given the feeling that the only thing this does is cause the simple believer annoyance with the Pope’s comportment, which may be defined as a “pretext” in the worst sense of that term.
How can I get an invitation?
