He completely lost it when he went to Lund to honor Martin Luther- an arch heretic. We read today that the Episcopal Grace Cathedral in San Francisco engaging in an idolatry “mass” of Beyonce with nearly 1000 in attendance. Just one of the thousands of monstrosities (Creflo Dollar; Joel Osteen; Rev. Jeremiah Wright; Jimmy Swaggart etc) that was spawned by Luther.

As a Catholic, I am so sorry that this man was thrust upon us, at this critical time in our lives when we have so many other problems to consider.

Perhaps this is a test to see just how strong our Faith is.
That thought is what helps keep my sanity.

He never said it would be easy.

By your way of thinking your sect spawned Luther so you guys are just as responsible as you think Luther is for all that garbage. See how that works?

Martin Luther- an arch heretic

Luther is quite on point at the present moment. What should a faithful Catholic do when confronted by corrupt authority in the church? Riding it out and waiting for God to correct the error is not always possible. In Luther's case, he was ordered on pain of excommunication to perjure himself (a mortal sin) and affirm what he believed to be grave error. He refused. That's the spark that lit the Reformation.

Francis hasn't forced things to that point. Yet. So there may still be time. But if Francis in fact represents a majority of the cardinals, and if that majority truly wants (as seems to be the case) to run up the white flag and get right with the progressive agenda and the spirit of the age, the church may not self-correct for a very long time. So: what will you do if the hierarchy propagates error? Keep your mouth shut and go along to get along?

You really need new material.

I guess you must lump Paul into that category along with those he trained as they did not "follow from" the other Apostles.

The Catholic church spawned Francis and these guys.

Y'all are in no position to be pointing fingers in condemnation.
