"It is no longer time simply for analyses, it is time for action in order to begin that work of justice and mercy so long awaited - by re-ordering the pastoral practice and canon law, to a large extent in effect for almost three centuries."
"following the invitation of Christ, present in their brother, the Bishop of Rome, to pass from the restricted number of a few thousand annulments to that immeasurable [number] of unfortunates who might have a declaration of nullity -- because of evident absence of faith as a bridge to knowledge and thus to the free will [necessary] to give sacramental consent "
"The Jubilee Year of Mercy expects this sign of humble obedience (on the part of the Churches’ shepherds) to the Spirit who speaks to them through Francis."
Francis, “The Channeler” ping
H’mmm, a clear channel or a Claret channel?
I think he is more like channeling Obama.
He’s everything I despise about MORTAL MEN even suggesting the way I should love my LORD and all it encompasses.
Bullshi’ite!
If he’s a Marxist, then for him the ends justify the means. Therefore he might claim to be channeling anyone.
I’m not a Marxist, and I believe I’m channeling John Calvin. So there.
Francis, like Peter s the Vicar of Christ. The rest is all pure rot.
There is nothing incompatible with the concept of Divine Mercy and the indissolubility of marriage. Marriage is not just a label as the gays would propose. Form must not be elevated over the substance of the marital union if the latter has been reduced to a mere shell of itself.
Yes, that was my feeling too. Obama - or maybe Castro or Lenin. Whatever, we have a serious lefist dictator on our hands here.
This Pope is an embarrassment. It is pathetic we have to pay for his security.
He does look like Harry Reid though! Acts like him too.
I know which spirit is speaking through Francis (not necessarily on this one but on may other pronouncements)
Takes one to know one.
He looks like Stan Laurel.
Does this mean, then that Catholics MUST accept what the pope is saying?
Of does this mean that its an ex cathedra pronouncement?
So you disagree with the pope, who is claiming to have Jesus speaking through him?
On what basis do you make this determination?
Your own personal interpretation of what? Scripture? The CCC? The magisterium?
Do you have the authority to pass judgment on the pope?
You have just made several false inferences from a five word sentence that I stated.
You and the other “mom” can discuss amongst yourselves. I’m not interested in what non-Catholics have to say about the Catholic Church.
Are you accusing me of channelling satan because I disagree with this obviously way off base leader of your denomination? Wow
No false inferences.
Your comment was clear as a bell.
So, care to answer the questions instead of deflecting them?
Nope. But I don’t think you, nor Francis, is channeling the Holy Ghost.
