Vatican Advisor: Pope ‘Breaks Catholic Traditions Whenever He Wants’
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 8/14/18 | Staff Reporter

Fr Thomas Rosica said the Church is now 'ruled by an individual rather than by... its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture'

Under Pope Francis, the Church is now “openly ruled by an individual rather than by the authority of Scripture alone or even its own dictates of tradition plus Scripture,” a Vatican advisor has said.

In an admiring portrait of the Pope, Fr Thomas Rosica wrote that Francis “breaks Catholic traditions whenever he wants” because he is “free from disordered attachments”.

Fr Rosica, a Canadian priest and media advisor to the Vatican, was writing on the website of Salt & Light Catholic Media Foundation, of which he is CEO.

The article, written two weeks ago, was republished by the news agency Zenit. After Fr Rosica’s statements came to attention on social media, Zenit removed the controversial statement and replaced it with “[…]”.

Fr Rosica said that, as a Jesuit, Pope Francis is guided by the principle of “discernment” which at times results in “freeing him from the confinement of doing something in a certain way because it was ever thus”.

Cardinal Raymond Burke said tonight on EWTN WorldOver, that what this Rosica character is saying is wacko or something like that.

And if there is anyone who can correctly judge such things, it is Cardinal Burke. God Bless this holy prelate.

First, manifest heretic ceases by himself to be pope (and therefore no longer pope, so can be judged)

Just WHO decides just what HERESY is????

I just gave you the 'first' place wherein the 'anti'- instead of Christ is named.

You typed the following; but you GAVE us nothing from the Bible"

Have you never read? From Jesus... HE told us repeatedly who the fake Jesus would be ... even way back in the Garden of Eden...penned by Moses.

The Romanistic Catholic opponent is now in the last of its death-throes …

The religion hating media types are having an almost literal orgasm over the revelation of all of these problems in the Church.

From the 301 in the EAST, to the lesbian that is married to her wife at a Catholic HS in Indianapolis.
