Pope Francis won’t respond to the dubia because he can’t respond. If he answers honestly, his heresy will be plain to see to all the Cardinals and he’d be subject to removal from his position. If he answers in such a way as to uphold previous teaching, then his revolution would be dead. It’s lose-lose for him. Thus, he will NEVER answer the dubia, and his surrogates will declare war on these heroic cardinals. Within the next week or so, expect another classic Bergoglian sermon attacking the “Doctors of Law” who try to use facts and logic to impeded the “New Mercy” and the “God of Surprises.”
There are few utterances of Jesus more (literally) damning than what he said to those who refused to answer one of his straightforward questions. (Was John the Baptist’s preaching of God?)
You are right. Bergoglio will not answer, because THE QUESTIONS HAVE ALREADY CONVICTED HIM OF HERESY. His papacy is about nothing but POWER.
