Francis claimed that everyone will be saved during his September 15 in-flight press conference thus qualifying Christ's death as superfluous.
The blasphemy went unnoticed until NovusOrdoWatch.org (January 3) paid attention to it. While taking about the vice of homosexuality, Francis said,
“Respect everyone. The Lord is good and will save everyone — do not say this aloud [laughs] — but the Lord wants to save everyone. Please do not make the Church deny her truth. Many, many people of homosexual orientation approach the Sacrament of Penance, they approach to ask priests for advice, the Church helps them to move forward in their lives.”
Reality is different:
• The Novus Ordo sacrament of penance has virtually died out;
• Countless homosexuals boast of their problem, refuse pity, and demand that the whole society be transformed according to their wishes.
The Bible says that homosexual acts cry out to heaven for vengeance. Christ speaks with graphic details about hell warning that “none may cross from there to us.” At the Last Judgement, mankind will be separated into two groups, one rising to eternal life, the other banished to “outer darkness,” “unquenchable fire,” “eternal torment,” where "the worm does not die," people will "gnash their teeth in anguish and regret" and from which there is no return.
There have been lots of bad popes. The doctrine of papal infallibility has always been severely limited.
Good Catholics have disagreed with the pope for many reasons over millennia.
That’s the exact same thing I learned in Catholic schools of that era.
Most of the nuns terrified us by telling us that during Lent if we ate meat on a Friday that was it, we were going straight to hell.
Yeah, I get it. He didn’t say “Simon Says” so the statement (and the man) can be ignored, ridiculed, mocked, whatever. My point is that the papacy has become functionally irrelevant.
Pastor Aeternus (Vatican I) set out four conditions for papal infallibility to come into play:
Yes, I agree; that is my point. Papal infallibility is a paper tiger. It was only invoked once, in 1950, since the doctrine was formalized. It will never be invoked again. A Pope has no incentive and every disincentive to invoke infallibility. Without it the Pope is just a man, just a figurehead who can be dismissed, derided and mocked by Catholics with impunity since they have deemed him to be a “bad” Pope. Guess what, if the next Pope is a “good” Pope in the eyes of conservative Catholics like yourself, he will be dismissed, derided and mocked by liberal Catholics. My point is that the Pope is functionally irrelevant with regards to Catholic doctrine.
Apparently, your ORG isn't the Catholic Church.
I don’t know how much more the Catholic Church can take of this lunatic.
He is supposed to deal with the beliefs of the Church and nothing else. He is all over the board talking incessantly about things which do NOT concern him.
The Cardinals had better do something about this cancer in the Vatican.
Good catch.
