EWTN Anchor Complains About Political ‘Edge’ of Pope’s White House Address

Is this not the Pope who publicly kissed the Koran, with lips that kisses the Bible, when he visited Istanbul?
Sorry to mention it, but it still sticks in my craw.

[Arthur McGowan]

I suppose a consensus just has to build until the “Pope” (who actually ceases to be Pope when he becomes a heretic) can no longer hold on to office. When no one answers when he pushes the buzzer.

[Biggirl]

From today’s daily mass:

Mark 1:15.

The Kingdom of God is at hand;
repent and believe in the Gospel.

That is what the Pope should be saying!

[mware]

I can only hope that he is as vocal on pro-life and traditional marriage, as he was today on environmental issues. He is letting himself be used by Obama.

[Mrs. Don-o]

That doesn’t sound like a lawful canonical process.

[Arthur McGowan]

It isn’t. There is not a word in the Code of Canon Law about the removal of a Pope—or even the resignation of a Pope. But since the Pope has absolute power (limited, of course by moral and divine law) he can always resign, as Benedict did.

If a Pope came to be universally judged a heretic, he would have to resign because, literally, no one would answer his buzzer.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It seems to me that could never happen, since there would always be fellow-heretics, as well as the many confused and misled, who would "answer his buzzer".

This seems the only solution:

I have the feeling that not nearly enough people appreciate just how much of a scandal the Pope’s endorsement of the Global Warming Hoax is. First of all: It’s a huge lie. Second: It means he’s enlisted in the central totalitarian project of the moment.

I’ve defended people like Chris Christie because he has “all the right enemies”; this Pope seems to have none of them. Very telling...

[kearnyirish2]

Never mind criticizing communism; the Vatican openly condemned SOCIALISM in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries...

As to the Pope’s legitimacy - my wife had the same question when he became Pope. She’s Catholic and said a pope “retiring” just never happens. It sounds like some cabal of progressives forced the issue on Pope Benedict. I think we’re seeing why.
