[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis on female deacons: ‘NO’
Catholic News Agency ^ | 5.21.24 | Daniel Payne

Posted on 05/22/2024 5:20:44 PM PDT by MurphsLaw

Pope Francis has once again come out strongly against an ordained female diaconate,
reiterating what for the Holy Father has been a consistently firm stance against women becoming clergy.
....
“You will have many young boys and girls that will come here at the end of next month for World Children’s Day,”
O’Donnell said to the pope at one point during the interview.

“And I’m curious, for a little girl growing up Catholic today, will she ever have the opportunity to be a deacon and participate as a clergy member in the Church?”

"No,” the pope replied.

A true Peronist.

Pope Francis ‘Very Much in Favor’ of Women’s Diaconate, Says Italian Theologian

Vatican, with Pope Francis’ approval, says priests cannot bless same-sex couples (March 15, 2021)

Better pick up that mike again, Murph. Because there's no telling what Herectic Jorge will come with tomorrow.

normally I would be against female deacons/priests...

but think about it....this pope and his ilk allow practicing homosexuals and transgenders whatever that means, and pedophiles...

yet females aren't good enough ?...would break some cardinal rule?...

Pope John Paul II told Mother Teresa that as long as he was Pope, there would never be altar girls. Two days later she was greatly shocked by the nonsensical clarification of liturgical law permissive of altar girls from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. What happened in 1994? The Holy Father was in the hospital. The prefect took it upon himself to make the change. Afterwards, the Pope was furious. He told Mother Teresa that he allowed the change to stand because he did not want the public scandal of a Vatican fighting itself. If you look at the document in the ACTA, you will note that it is signed by the prefect, but the Pope never put his name to it.

Cardinal Ratzinger was a close friend and supporter of the Pope and he did not forget those who took advantage of Pope John Paul II.

Maybe they like the ‘ practicing homosexuals and transgenders whatever that means, and pedophiles...’

and having women around will ruin the party.

Unlike the celibate ministerial priesthood which is deemed a discipline (or rule, if you prefer) that can be changed, the exclusively male ministerial priesthood of the Catholic Church is deemed to be divinely instituted and therefore unalterable.

He is a master gaslighter, so I don’t believe he means it.

"Better pick up that mike again,"...

"NO"..means "NO".
Better pick up your reading COMPREHENSION of your own citation,
instead of buying into personal opinions.. and Society propaganda.

From YOUR OWN citation you AND Sister Linda-should re-read:

The Italian theologian added that
there was “no reflection on the presbyteral ordination
of women in the Catholic Church.”

Sister Linda’s comments on a women’s diaconate
appear to be at odds with Pope Francis’ own public pronouncements
on the subject.

Last October, in an interview for a book in Spanish,
Francis reaffirmed the impossibility of women becoming priests, or even modern Church deacons.

AND... You are violating the Catholic Caucus.
Save your alinskyite Society agit-prop for your friends.
Not my job to expose you.

In case you didn’t notice, MM, he picked the mic right back up again.

To restart the apparently unending process of contradicting himself and injecting strategic ambiguity.

Really, Murph?

Bergoglio said "NO" to the blessing of homosexual couples in 2021.

Bergoglio said "YES" to the blessing of homosexual couples in 2024.

You seriously trust the man to keep his word?

Francis replied: “If it is deacons with holy orders, no.”

Note the caveat, Murph:

"If it is deacons with holy orders, no."

There is now no such thing as a diaconate without holy orders.

So guess what he and his pet homosexual, Tucho, are up to next for their upcoming "Sin-Nod"?

This is nothing new for Bergoglio and his duplicity:

Francis changes Catholic Church law: women explicitly allowed as lectors, altar servers

What's next?

(2025 A.D.) Francis changes Catholic Church law: women explicitly allowed as non- ordained deacons

(2025 A.D.) Francis changes Catholic Church law: celibacy requirement for priests is lifted

(2026 A.D.) Francis II (Víctor Manuel Fernández) changes Catholic Church law: women explicity allowed as priests

Pope Francis reverses Catholic Church's support of death penalty

He's his only little pope in his own little church, and Murph is his publicist.

The point Archbishop Fernandez is keenest to drive home is that there will be "no turning back:"

The pope goes slow because he wants to be sure that the changes have a deep impact.  The slow pace is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the changes.  He knows there are those hoping that the next pope will [] turn everything back around.  If you go slowly it's more difficult to turn things back. . . .

 

[Interviewer] :When Francis says he will have a short pontificate doesn't this help his adversaries?

The pope must have his reasons, because he knows very well what he's doing. [SIC]  He must have an objective that we don't understand yet.  You have to realize that he is aiming at reform that is irreversible.  If one day he should intuit [sic?] that he's running out of time and doesn't have enough time to do what the Spirit is asking him, you can be sure he will speed up.

So, to recap: The Pope will go slowly to make irreversible changes until he "intuits" that he needs to hurry up if he's to succeed in making irreversible changes.  

"He knows very well what he is doing"

Why did you truncate and excerpt this article, Murph? There was no reason to not post the full article as you have done with other articles.

Were you trying to hide something?
