How does Mr Crowley’s discernment differ from the Pope’s “ moral “ philosophy of discernment in any significant way?

This pope is a Jesuit. Jesuits are catholic mandarins who think they know what Jesus meant to say, but just wasn't as smart as jesuits are, so He needs them to correct His clumsy words,

Rigid is connected to what vice? Imprudence? Uncharity?
Sounds like newspeak.

So discernment means ignoring the obvious and repeating what you are told.
This moron needs to spend less time listening to Obama and more time studying the dictionary.

CHAP. XXVIII.—THOSE PERSONS PROVE THEMSELVES SENSELESS WHO EXAGGERATE THE MERCY OF CHRIST, BUT ARE SILENT AS TO THE JUDGMENT, AND LOOK ONLY AT THE MORE ABUNDANT GRACE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; BUT, FORGETFUL OF THE GREATER DEGREE OF PERFECTION WHICH IT DEMANDS FROM US, THEY ENDEAVOUR TO SHOW THAT THERE IS ANOTHER GOD BEYOND HIM WHO CREATED THE WORLD.
1. Inasmuch, then, as in both Testaments there is the same righteousness of God [displayed] when God takes vengeance, in the one case indeed typically, temporarily, and more moderately; but in the other, really, enduringly, and more rigidly: for the fire is eternal, and the wrath of God which shall be revealed from heaven from the face of our Lord (as David also says, “But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth”)
Irenaeus of Lyons, “Irenæus against Heresies,” in The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, ed. Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A. Cleveland Coxe, vol. 1, The Ante-Nicene Fathers (Buffalo, NY: Christian Literature Company, 1885), 501.

So, if someone asks him, “Is it legitimate for the church to have a Pope?”, how rigid will his answer be?
Oh, and is he being rigid when he tells people not to be rigid?

“Discernment does not decide what is right or wrong but leads the person to inform himself as fully as possible, so that he can make a right judgment in a particular matter, that is, so that he can act in accord with the truth which God has written upon his heart or conscience,” he added. Ted Bundy's 'heart and conscience' told him it was OK to be a serial killer...Every psycopaths dream 'religion'...
Maybe we should all make up our own 'laws' too... It's like the Pope has taken on the 'wisdom' of a 1968 California hippie commune....

"Pope Francis told a group of newly ordained bishops that 'authentic discernment' cannot be reduced to repeating 'rigid' moral formulas to persons whose situations 'can’t be reduced to black and white.'" He's probably discerning situations that display "Fifty Shades Of Grey".

I don’t think Jesus, aka God Almighty, sees this Pope’s moral relativism as correct.
I wonder who will win ?
