“You cite a source demonstrating that while Francis does personally offer Holy Communion (in performing the consecration), that he sometimes chooses not to distribute it.”
When you’re talking about Holy Communion, and if you truly believe in the Real Presence, you wouldn’t refer to the Sacred Species, as “it”. You are doing nothing but reenforcing my ideas about you.
And I don’t consider you to be a fellow Catholic; just like I don’t consider Nancy Pelosi to be a fellow Catholic.
Where is he? I don’t hear him.
What was that schismatic?
You opened up this by agreeing with someone saying that ‘Maybe Pope Francis wants to replace the mass altogether’. As in not celebrate it ever.
That is a serious accusation!
You’re accusing Francis of heresy. Do you not see this? Do you not understand why any practicing Catholic who has submitted to Rome is offended by it?
“I don’t consider Nancy Pelosi to be a fellow Catholic.”
Good, I don’t have much patience for schismatics who attack Francis and make wild unsubstantiated allegations. Why would I be concerned that a schismatic would consider himself out of communion with me? That’s a mark of honor.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Right, because I believe that marriage is a sacrament. You can’t get rebaptized and you can’t get remarried with a living spouse. Deviations from this principle erode the sacrament.
What’s your explanation for attributing heresy to Francis? Is he just not the pope for you? I’m told there are plenty of protestants that believe the exact same thing. Some of them have their own popes.
You should join them since you don’t seem to like Francis very much.
“What’s your explanation for attributing heresy to Francis?”
Once again, please back up you accusation. In what post(s) did I accuse Pope Francis of heresy?
I already quoted the post. Several times in fact.
You didn’t post it one time. I have never accused Pope Francis of heresy.
No, I said he is adverse to offering Holy Communion to the faithful at his Masses. I never said he is adverse to offering Mass. I spoke the truth.
Prove otherwise.
“Schismatic”? You’re making it personal.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
“No, I said he is adverse to offering Holy Communion to the faithful at his Masses.”
Without proof, this is a spurious accusation. Your cited evidence did not show that this is true.
Your own source shows that Pope Francis is only to happy to perform masses and to consecrate the blessed sacrament, contrary to what you just stated.
If you want to continue smearing Francis, I suggest you continue. It will further damage your reputation here.
I'm pretty sure this guy/lady has been here before. Not sure if it's our "fake Traditionalist" or another, but I doubt any ruckus maker who makes a noise so soon after joining.
