Let’s see, a Canon lawyer cites a Pope to say that a Pope can’t change the law.

That must be Common Core Jesuit Logic.

“To be courageous means to address the pain of the divorced and remarried, supporting them and helping them to put into practice what has been said several times in recent years. That is, do not exclude the divorced and remarried from the life of the Church, when in these days people are surprised if a divorced and remarried person even continues to attend Mass.”

Why not be courageous and address the pain of active homosexual couples, child rapists, murderers, etc.?

Why should the Church support unrepentant adulterers in their sins?

No problem. Christian Churches welcome sinners to come to Christ. Send them our way.

welcome sinners to come to Christ

That's what is supposed to be happening. What people want is to be made comfortable in their sins.

"What people want is to be made comfortable in their sins. "

We don't see that. We see people come, meet Christ, repent, publicly be baptized to show they want to follow Him. They are sinners, all ages, pierced, tattooed, divorced, etc. They want to know God and be forgiven, have eternal life and follow Him.

... If the Roman church no longer appreciates a Savior accused of being a "friend of sinners", send the sinners to us. We know the Savior who remains a "friend of sinners."

... If the Roman church has forgotten that "Jesus Christ died for the ungodly", send the ungodly to us. We remember.

We will introduce them to Him. They aren't perfect. They won't be perfect until eternity. We will love them and introduce them to Him.

We remember His Great Commission.

“Bless your heart.”

No problem. I’m from the south and I understand the expression. I also understand Christ’s command to all true believers...

“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

“You “church” condones adultery?”

No Christian gathering condones any sin - ever.

Christ came to save exactly those the Bible describes as “ungodly.”

“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”

If you are unwilling to fulfill the Gospel at your church, please send us the ungodly. Tax collectors, prostitutes, every manner of sinner - including adulterers.

We will trust Christ to do His part.

“Cardinal Kasper and Pope Francis have in their recent “gathering”.

........

Great, we agree!

“On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.””

Mark 2:17

Whatever it is it's not Catholic and the way the "Catholic Caucus" header is ignored speaks volumes about what such folks think of anything other than their own opinion.

Of course, for such folks Sola Yourselfa, their own opinion, is their doctrine.

Wow. Until you said that, I did not realize this was a caucus thread and I stand corrected. Please excuse the intrusion on a Caucus. The Mod should certainly remove my discussions about Christ.

No. We don’t agree. Many Christian churches condone sinful homosexual unions, abortions, birth control, etc.
