Hell will freeze over and Antarctical will bloom like a rose before the Pope could introduce "fundamrental changes in the Church."

This little 2-minute YouTube explanation of why the Pope can't do that, is consoling and insructive. As well as pretty funny.

“Why do you think liberals are so happy about Pope Francis?”

Don’t really know. He’s not changed any social doctrine of the 2,000 year old Catholic Church and he’s not going to. You can change the Word of God, you can’t change the truth and that’s what Catholic social doctrine is based.

I think the worse thing Pope Francis could done was say “who am I to judge”. The quote was taken completely out of context and the liberal media ran with it and posted stories all over the world that the Catholic Church was going to allow same sex “marriage” and change it’s teachings on homosexuality. So like I said you can’t change scripture. So the liberals that love Francis will be disappointed when the finally realize he’s a Catholic. It’s really funny.

“A man joins a woman” Christ said it. There is no “evolving” the Holy word of God Almighty!

The title reminded me of the joke where a priest has a vision of the Lord and asks him, "will we ever have a married priesthood?"
The Lord looks at him tenderly and answers: "Not in your lifetime."

Then he asks "How about gay marriage?" and the Lord shoots back, "Not in MY lifetime!"

It’s certainly evolved on Biblical inerrancy, higher criticism, and—well—evolution, hasn’t it? Why shouldn’t it just keep on evolving?

That`s why I said the “ALL BLACK Church” I always add the ALL in caps, to point this out clearly....

The ALL black churches, with only blacks, pentecostal or not, are all liberal and vote democrat , support abortion homosexualoity and every anto Christian thing you can think of.

I have been consistent on this all the years I have been here, I normally add that this does NOT include the wonderful Black Christians that have left the plantation, such as Dr Ben Carson etc

I say the exact same thing about anybody that votes Democrat, I add often that the term “Christian Democrat” is a oxymoron

Loke it or not, anybody that votes Democrat in any way shape or form supports abortion and homosexuality period, even if the deny it.

If they voted for Clinton or Kerry or Gore or Obama they have stated that they are anti Christian period. I will go farther than that, if they only at the water cooler voice their opinion to others that they support, Obama, The Democrat Party, The Clintons etc it`s just the same as voting.

It`s my experience that Blacks that have left the plantation, have left the ALL ALL black church, no longer attend Black only Churches.

The ALL BLACK church, I said ALL, as in ALL BLACK CHURCH are all democrat Obama loving Churches that dont have a kind word to say about Conservative Christians, and yes they mock pro life pro family folks like myself

So no mistake I stand by this 150%

BTW I find Church services to show my shut in mother 92 years old, I go to a website that has almost all the churches in the USA that broadcast live on the web, many we watch that are ALL BLACK and Pentecostal

Pentecostal is my choice btw, but when you select ones to try you dont know from the title what you get, quite often it`s ALL Black church, and you dont generally have to listen very long before we have to turn away in disgust with Al Sharpton like comments

So actually the all black congregation is a giveaway of what they are about. if it`s a mix of skin tone, generally it`s a conservative church

ALL BLACK =lib

mix of skin tone, more likely conservative

Sounds like this shift is about butts in pews and all about the $$$$$$$$$$. Same with the embracing of illegals.

I attend a local Methodist church that has gone back to being more ecumenical as we’ve gone through different pastors....but if they allow ‘gay marriage’ in my place of worship.....I’m gone. Caput.

I hope you are right about the libs being disappointed in the Pope at some point in the future.

You are correct, The Word of God can NOT be changed!

The only reason to post anything from Time magazine is to make Freepers angry. It is pure liberal fantasy

Here is their cover from a couple of weeks ago:

The cover depicts a scene that never happened. But it fits in with what liberals wished had happened.

Likewise with the Catholic church and gay "marriage". The credibility of Time magazine is rock bottom.

Oy Vey!

THe USCCB that is, the American Bishops can do whatever they want.

that’s free will.

If they were to think and/or act as if they can go against Catholic teaching on any such matter, they would be simply wrong.

That’s all.

And Hell is an entity. They have zero control over it and the rules about staying out of it

The Catholic Church isn’t going to change. Liberals are wishing it to happen. But it won’t.

Two people of the same sex simply can’t marry each other; it’s an impossibility.

They cannot consumate the marriage. Gay sex doesn't produce babies so it isn't sex at all. And it isn't a marriage.
