Ambiguity also surrounded Kasper’s treatment of Christ’s claim to be the Son of God with the Resurrection and Ascension being questionable historical events.

Dump the heretic. There’s gotta be an ELCA congregation that would pick him up.

Heck, what does it matter. A Spanish press has just published the collected press interviews of Pope Francis, which is where he usually says his really stupid stuff. Apparently, he regards these vapid and careless remarks as his “teaching.” (Also, I heard in a Spanish discussion of this that he is now the most interviewed public figure in the world, and never turns down an interview and in fact even arranges them.)

Kasper is just following in his master’s steps, saying any old thing that comes into his mind because now it’s okay to do so.

Kasper should read “Miracles” by C. S. Lewis. A greater intellect than his.

I saw the following book in the St. Paul’s book store yesterday, has anyone read it?

Joseph Ratzinger: Life in the Church and Living Theology : Fundamentals of Ecclesiology with Reference to Lumen Gentium [Book] by Maximilian Heinrich Heim · Ignatius Press · Hardback · 614 pages · ISBN 1586171496

I was wondering about buying it.

Kasper must be Rome’s version of Episcopal bishops,John Spong and James A. Pike.

I haven’t read it, but I’m going to check it out.

Yes, Ignatius Press is pretty reliable, and Ratzinger’s books before he became Pope are all worth reading. I haven’t re-read them recently, but I have all of them, I think.

this volume is not by Pope Benedict, but about him and his writings. I saw a couple of other slim volumes by “Father Benedict” on prayer and another topic, that I will probably eventually buy.

I have not read this one. But I have read cover to cover each one of the following books listed below and they are beyond extraordinary for intellect and scholarship that has rightly earned him the title of the “Theological Einstein” of our times:

Benedict’s books on

1. Jesus of Nazareth;
2. On The Way to Jesus Christ;
3. Jesus, The Apostles and The Early Church.
4. The Infancy Narratives.

And Catholics call US heretics.

That this man is even allowed to remain in any church position of authority is an indictment on this “church.”

“Such innovations in Catholic practice would, in effect, nullify Christ’s teaching on the indissolubility of Christian marriage.”

Actually it doesn’t. Only the two parties involved plus God know if it was a sacramental marriage. It should be left to the conscious of those involved and the Church, since it has know knowledge of what was in the hearts of the couple... Should stay out of it.

We may not know what is in people’s hearts. They may not know themselves. We can, however, know what they say and do. The Church has every right to hold to account people who profess to be Christian.

I have read both of his volumes “Jesus of Nazareth” and found them excellent. I’ve also read “The Infancy Narratives,” which was good. I’ll have to look into the other two. I’ve heard about “Jesus, The Apostles and The Early Church” and will be getting it.

The sacramentality of a marriage is never the subject of inquiry. Tribunals are concerned only with the validity of a marriage.

All valid marriages, not just sacramental marriages, are indissoluble.

All valid marriages between two baptized person are sacramental.

The reason for having a third-party investigation of a marriage is that the two parties usually do NOT know, at the beginning of the investigation, all the facts which can shed light on the question of validity.

What makes you think the two wedding parties have more knowledge than the Church; or God, for that matter, on a sacramental marriage?

What if the two wedding parties don’t agree on their “knowledge”?

“Cardinal Kasper claims that he speaks for the Pope” “Pope Francis hand-picked Cardinal Kasper to write his talking points into the agenda. Kasper has been giving those talking points for a year while stating the Pope gave him his marching orders. There is no reason to disbelieve Cardinal Kasper”
