What did Christ do after Peter denied Him three times? Put him down by force?
No, He restored Peter and put him back to work for the flock.
"Peter, do you love Me? Feed My lambs. Feed My lambs. Feed My sheep."
What did St. Paul do in the Book of Acts when Peter was "clearly in the wrong"? He confronted him to his face.
We need to pray for Francis so that he will get back to his job of feeding the sheep, caring for the flock.
And when he's wrong, we need to confront him to his face.
“Your so-called Scriptural solution is neither Scriptural ...”
Not Scriptural? Hello? Saint Paul, “not Scriptural”?
You don’t like the crystal clear reading of what St Paul wrote about Who really is Head of The Church, so you get a free pass to cherry pick, and exclude certain verses as “not Scriptural”?
You want to say my take on those verses isn’t “Scriptural” then you demonstrate why. You lay out the plain text of each reference I gave you, and you give me THE MEANING of each one; you tell me what those verses really mean, if they don’t mean what they appear to mean in plain language.
“And when he’s wrong, we need to confront him to his face.”
Who? You? When? How? You got your flight booked? You got a Papal audience booked on his calendar?
If he refuses you audience or doesn’t listen to you, Matthew 18 says leave and come back with one or two others. Who’s going with you on that trip?
If he refuses to listen to the group of you on that second encounter, Jesus’ directive in Matthew 18 is to tell it to the whole church. NOT the same thing as a media press conference, this would be you and your other witnesses bringing the matter before the entire church as an internal adjudication. Again, with the goal that he’d listen to the decision of the greater body.
By what authority will you bring him before that body for a hearing, and if he refuses to listen to the whole church, by what authority will you take the next step, cast him out, and treat him as an unbeliever?
You’ve got a VERY long row to hoe, if you think this is how you’re going to bring this un-Biblical Pope back into the fold of Christian orthodoxy.
