We post the arguments of canonists because they interpret the Pope's own canons. The Pope has a canon law. In it he provides exceptions to his own rules--which the good Archbishop availed himself of. Nor could the Pope deny him this opportunity. Laws are laws precisely so that they may be applied justly and uniformly. To do otherwise would be tyrannical and evil and would oppose a higher law--God's.

<> LMAO You really do think that Canon Law trumps the authority of the Supreme Pontiff. LAMO. THat is ANOTHER heresy. Please read Vatican One. (I am assuming you DO accept that Ecuemnical Council).And you have the audacity to intimate others are lacking in knwoledge or are "in over their heads."<>
