"...Bruno’s disclosure is significant for another reason: It confirms the utter futility of petitioning Francis for an “authentic interpretation” of Amoris Laetitia that would reaffirm the Church’s constant teaching on the impossibility of admitting public adulterers to the sacraments. Why would Francis “interpret” his own document in a manner exactly contrary to the aim of all his scheming and plotting with the likes of Forte?..."

I’m guilty. The genetic fallacy. I don’t read articles from the Remnant.

[Rurudyne]

There are plenty of unrepentant lavender lackey losers scattered among congregations of all stripes so it’s at least a believable claim.

It’s almost like tares are coming to maturity ... now, where did that comparison come from? /wink

If true of any leader (that isn’t planning to vacate immediately as they shoul if they were honorable) it would be really bad: time to run screaming out of the building bad.

Also, about the rest of the article, it didn’t mention again or build on the comment about homosexuals ... just saying.

Rather it dealt with divorce and remarriage, presumably willy nilly American / Western Europe style.

Not like the world hasn't been warned.

A fwiw reminder from Our Lady of Akita, Akita-Shi, Japan 1973:

On October 13, the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, 1973, Sr. Agnes heard the beautiful voice speaking from the statue once more:

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres, churches and altars will be sacked.

The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the devil will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon would be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God.

The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer any pardon for them."

She continued,

"As I told you, if people do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the Flood, such as one will never have seen before.

Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.

The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests."

Could it be that what was once farfetched to all but the faithful is now our reality?

Voice of the Family calls on Pope Francis to withdraw Amoris Laetitia

Smeaton highlighted several grave concerns with the exhortation, including:

+the section about sex education, which speaks at length about sex education in schools, without reference to the rights of parents;

+references to public adultery which fail to point out the intrinsic evil of adultery;

+the suggestion that adulterous sexual acts may be justifiable; and,

+the false message that marriage is not indissoluble.

Just when the Cath/Prot backbiting dies down and I think I might once again enjoy browsing the Religion forum, I have to endure the maniacal machinations of a nutty nuncio.

[marshmallow]

A railroad job from the outset but one which encountered more resistance than expected or appreciated. See +Francis' closing address to the 2015 Synod where he excoriated the bishops who had raised objections to the malarkey which was occurring.

He ranted about..."the closed hearts which frequently hide even behind the church's teachings and good intentions, in order to sit in the chair of Moses and judge, sometimes with superiority and superficiality, difficult cases and wounded families."

Then he moved on to his favorite topic; doctrine:

"The synod experience also made us better realize that the true defenders of doctrine are not those who uphold its letter, but its spirit; not ideas but people; not formulas but the free availability of God's love and forgiveness," he said.

[Prince of Desmond]

For a Vicar of Christ to so blatantly defy the sanctity of Christian marriage is tantamount to blasphemy.

[onedoug]

...(with Francis’s full approval)....

When will the Pope come out of the closet?
