Your weak arguments have become repetitive and tiresome. I know for a fact that the tranny was engaged to a member of the same sex during her correspondence with the pope and at the time of their personal encounter. I have no idea of when she goes to confession.
Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden may go to Confession weekly for all I know. Do I think they're repentant? No!
Francis and Lombardi are both Jesuits. Why did neither of them deny the published content of the phone call if it was false? I understand doctrine was not determined by a personal phone call, but discipline, for that particular sinner, was lacking.
I think Pope Francis is sometimes impulsive in his communications, and naive about how it will play out in public. Since he's not going to disclose line-by-line what he said the woman, and how it conceivably differs from what her husband put on Facebook, he subsequently had to face the natural consequences of his blathering.
The most he could do for damage-control was to say, "This is not doctrine or discipline." OH-kaaayyy.
I miss Pope Brenedict's self-discipline and precision.
Pope Francis compares arguments for transgender rights to nuclear arms race
The money quote:
"[Pope Francis] said every historical period has "Herods" that "destroy, that plot designs of death, that disfigure the face of man and woman, destroying creation."Let's think of the nuclear arms, of the possibility to annihilate in a few instants a very high number of human beings," he was quoted as saying. "Let's think also of genetic manipulation, of the manipulation of life, or of the gender theory, that does not recognize the order of creation."
"With this attitude, man commits a new sin, that against God the Creator. The true custody of creation does not have anything to do with the ideologies that consider man like an accident, like a problem to eliminate. "God has placed man and woman and the summit of creation and has entrusted them with the earth. The design of the Creator is written in nature." The interview was conducted in October and major parts of it were published online in January. However, it was only recently picked up by the English-language press.
[Gee, I wonder why...]
In the case of Biden and Pelosi, we do know: because their offenses were public, and often part of their official legislative goals as programs and policy preferences.
They would have to make amends for this public scandal by means of a public recantation. If they do not, we are right to regard them as being unrepentant.
I do know. And I don’t appreciate you insinuating that I’m a liar.
You said, "I have no idea of when she goes to confession."
And I said, "In other words, in the case of the tranny, you don't know."
I'm agreeing with you that you "have no idea." That's not insinuating that you're a liar.
I'm not that good at insinuations., If I want to call someone a liar, I'll generally do it straight out.
No, I think you just know how to get around the forum rules.
Wow, suckered right into a change of subject.
This is nuts. I’m outta here.
Check the post. Kennedy’s not mine, liberal abortion pushers was mine.
Nevertheless, the solution in every case is repentance, Confession --- THEN Communion.
Communion without repentance is a dangerous delusion: it's another meathook in your soul, dragging you down to destruction. Anyone who had even a bit of love in their heart for a fellow sinner, would try to tell them the truth about this.
“Communion without repentance is a dangerous delusion: it’s another meathook in your soul, dragging you down to destruction. Anyone who had even a bit of love in their heart for a fellow sinner, would try to tell them the truth about this.”
But someone who cares about fellow sinners would want to be Biblically accurate. In this case, what is represented by the Catholic denomination and promoted in your post is not the truth in a multitude of ways. This leaves the person not only out of fellowship, but not understanding the truth.
Well ((((sigh)))) tell me where my post was in error, then.
Well, do you really want to detail it all?
The Roman teaching on the topic of divorce is like many topics - a verse or two without a systematic exposition. the post and comments go downhill from there.
Really, your best bet is to just send all sinners to a local Protestant church that loves Christ in word and deed, teaches and loves all of revelation consequently loves sinners to Christ. Sinners will be welcomed and taught what they need to reconcile with him, have eternal life, walk with Him daily and mature.
Please send us all the sinners. Send us the pierced, tattooed, broken, the adulterers, etc. We’ll take them all. We will start where they are at and lead them to Him.

“Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”
I invite you --- and all of the others you mentioned --- to come on down to the Catholic Church! Come one, come all!
I can imagine this do-si-do going on for quite some time.
:o)
It seems simple to me.
Not always easy, but simple it is. Let's encourage each other, fellow sinners, to find Him who is the Way.
Let’s split ‘em up!
Send us sinners.
We’ll send you perfect people.
:-)
And I am sincere.
Cue "Catholics Come Home" promo...
Whatever happened to that series of "The doors of the Church are open" commercials? I can't find them anywhere.
Is that TV? Everywhere, or just your diocese? I can’t answer your question. I haven’t watched TV since I can’t remember when.
