[Mrs. Don-o]

"He [Pope Francis] has done nothing to change church doctrine, nor will he, nor can he."

Exactly.

As usual Mrs. Don-o, you are attempting to have it both ways. Your "Vicar of Christ on Earth" is such an embarrassment that you now want to hide him in a shelf, and say that the Roman church is above all this, and in the same breath you who are still ensared by the cult of Catholicism will argue that because of Matthew 16: 18 gives Jorge ultimate Authority and Succession.

Which is it?

My Salvation depends and belongs on one thing - Jesus Christ.

You may forget that I know where you are coming from. I was baptized, confirmed, married, in Romanism and spent decades there. I was going to Hell, and I knew it, before I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I am not "lapse" anything, except united with God now. He gets all the credit.

The Last Days appear to be before us. I pray that you come to Christ (the real one) before the Tribulation.

"He [Pope Francis] has done nothing to change church doctrine, nor will he, nor can he." Exactly. Exactly.

By the way Mrs. Don-o, do you even know the relationship between Encyclicals, Synods, and catholic doctrine?

Don't you know what the very definition of those are?

Don't you know that Jorge is about to sign a new Encyclical, and that he is bringing all the power he has to bear on the Synod?

Pope Francis Sends Encyclical To Republicans In Congress - 16 Sep 15

For the modern Catholic Church, a Papal encyclical is a kind of letter concerning Catholic doctrine sent by the Pope addressed to bishops, patriarchs, primates, and archbishops who are in communion with the Holy See.

I have never seen such ignorance on the part of posters on FR as this. You make yourself look incredibly foolish.
