Pope Francis Meets Evangelical Delegation

TruNews ^ | June 27, 2014 | Rick Wiles

[NYer]

Ping!

[SpirituTuo]

I pray for the reunion of the entire catholic church every morning! Let’s hope all people of good will can respond to God’s call every day.

It was good to a positive meeting, with Jesus being the subject.

[Biggirl]

AMEN!

” That all will be ONE “.

[miss marmelstein]

I wonder if they asked that eternal question: do you guys worship statues?

[GreyFriar]

“The world is suffering,” said Robison. “We as Christians have too much love to share without fighting one another.”

Amen to that.

[GreyFriar]

I would expect Moslems to ask the statue question, not this group who met with the Pope.

[piusv]

And here it seems opportune to expound and to refute a certain false opinion, on which this whole question, as well as that complex movement by which non-Catholics seek to bring about the union of the Christian churches depends. For authors who favor this view are accustomed, times almost without number, to bring forward these words of Christ: "That they all may be one.... And there shall be one fold and one shepherd,"[14] with this signification however: that Christ Jesus merely expressed a desire and prayer, which still lacks its fulfillment. For they are of the opinion that the unity of faith and government, which is a note of the one true Church of Christ, has hardly up to the present time existed, and does not to-day exist.

Above stated by Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, On Religious Unity, 1928.

Didn’t the women know they were to wear chapel veils and be dressed in black?

[Mrs. Don-o]

"I wonder if they asked that eternal question: do you guys worship statues?"

HaHa. No, they're more sophisticated than that. They realize we now worship felt banners.

[miss marmelstein]

LOL! Boy, give me the statues over the banners any day!

[trisham]

“The world is suffering,” said Robison. “We as Christians have too much love to share without fighting one another.”

Amen.

[trisham]

Maybe not. I did think that they were nicely dressed, though.

[Biggirl]

Amen and AMEN.

What is you definition of "the entire catholic church"?

Do you not recite the Nicene Creed at your Masses?

How are Evangelicals "apostolic"?

They must have received a special dispensation, since the pope have power he can exercise unhindered, regardless of what was once required or exhorted.

The levitous coziness with the pope here indicts such ministers as serious compromisers with Truth, and the pope as conveying sanction of what in the past would be deplored.

No one shall join in prayers with heretics or schismatics. - Council of Laodicea, can. 33.

Do not converse with heretics even for the sake of defending the faith, for fear lest their words instil their poison in your mind. Bl. Isaias Boner of Krakow (Polish, Augus tinian priest, theologian, professor of Scripture, d. 1471)

“the Church forbids the faithful to communicate with those unbelievers who have forsaken the faith they once received, either by corrupting the faith, as heretics, or by entirely renouncing the faith, as apostates, because the Church pronounces sentence of excommunication on both.” St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica; http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3010.htm

Pope Leo X: That it is against the will of the Spirit to burn heretics at the stake is condemned as false. (Pope Leo X, “Exsurge Domino,” 1520)

• Pope Innocent IV, Ad extirpanda: The head of state or ruler must force all the heretics whom he has in custody,{8} provided he does so without killing them or breaking their arms or legs,as actual robbers and murderers of souls and thieves of the sacraments of God and Christian faith, to confess their errors and accuse other heretics whom they know, and specify their motives, {9} and those whom they have seduced, and those who have lodged them and defended them,as thieves and robbers of material goods are made to accuse their accomplices and confess the crimes they have committed. 

Those convicted of heresy by the aforesaid Diocesan Bishop,surrogate or inquisitors, shall be taken in shackles to the head of state or ruler or his special representative, instantly,or at least within five days, and the latter shall apply the regulations promulgated against such persons...- http://userwww.sfsu.edu/%7Edraker/history/Ad_Extirpanda.html

[Salvation]

I doubt that dispensations are granted.

This is just the proper protocol for people meeting the Pope.

You do realize, I hope, that he is trying to bring people back into the Church, don’t you?

[CynicalBear]

Duplicitous comes to mind.
