Pope Francis
No, that can’t be because every loose nut faux traditionalist here said the pope was going to change marriage, or get married, or come out for gay marriage, or come out of the closet, or order pizza with anchovies or some other sort of atrocity.
I hope (and pray) he will continue to give voice to this extremely important issue.
“Zenit staff.” I read Zenit daily during the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Then Francis became pope and my visits to Zenit stopped. Very sad how the journalistic talents from around the world are wasted on a light weight in Rome, just as the journalistic talents in the United States are wasted on the tyrants in Washington.
Pope Francis is very clear in his support of traditional marriage.
Pope Francis is also very clear in his support for anti-capitalists. So sad Catholics have a third world Pope who is clueless about free markets.
If the truth be known, it has been perverted.
Good article.
BTTT!
Yeah, we got that. Pope Francis has proclaimed nothing but one husband/one wife, one father/one mother, two grandfathers/two grandmothers, nine siblings, two cats, and three lizards.
I don’t understand why anyone doesn’t get it at this point.
From the Vatican’s website:
“With reference to the issue of giving communion to persons in a second union (because those who are divorced can receive communion, there is no problem, but when they are in a second union, they can’t…), I believe that we need to look at this within the larger context of the entire pastoral care of marriage. And so it is a problem. But also – a parenthesis – the Orthodox have a different practice. They follow the theology of what they call oikonomia, and they give a second chance, they allow it. But I believe that this problem – and here I close the parenthesis – must be studied within the context of the pastoral care of marriage. And so, two things: first, one of the themes to be examined with the eight members of the Council of Cardinals with whom I will meet on 1-3 October is how to move forward in the pastoral care of marriage, and this problem will come up there. And a second thing: two weeks ago the Secretary of the Synod of Bishops met with me about the theme of the next Synod.”
You're right.
Uh-ohhhhh....
Call Rorate Caeli!!!
Rather, I see it as very perverted behavior.
Beloved:
This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
From today's Mass
1 Tim. 1:15
John 5:14
Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.
John 8
[10] Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
[11] Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
Francis, Bishop of Rome:
“With reference to the issue of giving communion to persons in a second union (because those who are divorced can receive communion, there is no problem, but when they are in a second union, they can’t…), I believe that we need to look at this within the larger context of the entire pastoral care of marriage. And so it is a problem. But also – a parenthesis – the Orthodox have a different practice. They follow the theology of what they call oikonomia, and they give a second chance, they allow it. But I believe that this problem – and here I close the parenthesis – must be studied within the context of the pastoral care of marriage. And so, two things: first, one of the themes to be examined with the eight members of the Council of Cardinals with whom I will meet on 1-3 October is how to move forward in the pastoral care of marriage, and this problem will come up there. And a second thing: two weeks ago the Secretary of the Synod of Bishops met with me about the theme of the next Synod.”
He sounds like Luther, “Sin and sin boldly”; God is ever merciful and this is My Year of Mercy!
Is he going to prevent the cats from tormenting little lizards, next? Yeah right.
(I have a relative who drops lizards into the fish tank. I wish he wouldn't do that)
Find me one sentence in what you quoted from Pope Francis that sounds like “Sin and sin boldly.”
BTTT!
I’m sorry that you cannot even comprehend the paragraph I posted. It seems to explain your inexcusable defenses of Francis’ “mercy” without charity.
Well let’s see if it wasn’t “mistranslated”. Since he’s coming to Philly and it’s the year of the family, you know non-traditional families will be there to make a scene. The Church needs to lead.
When he’s right he’s right. The problem is that he’s so often wrong that something like this is really big news.
