Pope Francis has stated that the Church “must not withdraw into dogma” and should recognise that “the world has changed”.

Aren't the ways of "the world" the problem here? Maybe I'm missing something...

Cardinal Kasper has also indicated we need to rethink Humanae Vitae, and the Synod of Bishops on the Family's General Secretary, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, has waffled on civil unions.

As I said in the original post, One gets the real impression that some Synod members are asking us, in the name of "mercy and compassion", to give a pass to this modern mass apostasy on matters of sexuality and marriage.

“Aren’t the ways of “the world” the problem here? Maybe I’m missing something... “

Your point is a great one, but IMHO it depends to what he is referring to when he says the world is changing. The world ‘changed’ a lot when the dogma about the earth being the center of the universe was challenged. People were put to death for that one before the dogma was abandoned. Martin Luther helped change Catholicism, as well as promote the formation of a broad array of protestant churches by his actions - which got him excommunicated at the time. God is eternal. What God deems correct is eternal. Our interpretation of the mind of God is at best, nascent, and some dogma is from God and some from man. The dogma that comes from man is subject to review and change, and maybe that’s what he’s referring to.

What did PaulVI say, “The smoke of Satan has entered the sanctuary? HMMM. Becoming visible?

You're not missing anything. It's pope obama who's missing Truth.
