“Most Of The Words That Come Out Of My Mouth Are Invalid,” Pope Francis Suggests
Eye of the Tiber ^ | June 17, 2016 | Admin

Posted on 06/17/2016 4:49:23 PM PDT by ebb tide

Pope Francis said Thursday that the majority of the words that come “spilling” out of his mouth are invalid because most of the time he doesn’t understand that what he says is permanent.

“We live in a culture of the provisional,” the Pontiff said, responding to a question about the “crisis of his pontificate.”

Francis said he often doesn’t comprehend the importance of what he’s saying when speaking off-the-cuff, which he said is “indissoluble.”

“Sadly in today’s pontificate, I don’t understand that what I say will have ramifications for not only my pontificate, but of the many pontificates to come,” he said. “I say something random, and people do not know what it means. And because people listen to me with the philosophy that I am the Pope, they believe I have fully contemplated and formulated what I am saying, which is, in many cases, not the case. This then makes what I say null.”

Francis went on to say that when Catholics have to spend most of their working lives defending what he says, and having to write blog posts or responses to comments on a combox asking if the “pope really said such and such,” clearly there is something invalid in many of the “weird, weird, weird” things that somehow manage to find their way from his brain to his mouth.

at least he admits that what he says is mostly nonsense....

he's the not ready for prime time pope....not understanding that an eager leftist media will hype everything he says, if they agree...

Is Obama moonlighting as Pope?

Bergoglio, May 26, 2015:

“And it comes to my mind to say something that may be foolish or perhaps a heresy, I don't know.”

John Semmons was told to label his satires and I assumed the rules were for everybody.

Is the pope Catholic? No, really; Is he?

This heretic is neither. He is not Catholic, hence by his own acts, not the pope.

The comment at this link and the comments following it with the official Catholic teaching on the subject may help explain things.

I noticed a few comments on this current thread and at the original source asking if the original source is a satire or parody. What Bergoglio did genuinely say at the link below on May 26, 2015 is even worse:

“And it comes to my mind to say something that may be foolish or perhaps a heresy, I don't know.”

Still listening for a valid word from this pope. Rome has delivered scores of papal clunkers through the centuries, but this guy is setting a new modern standard.

The last time a pope spoke ex-cathedra was before I was born. 1950.

It's because of wackadoo teachers like Pope Francis, that I am grateful for the doctrine of Infallibility, because it guarantees that no matter how wackadoo a particular pope's opinions, he will not be able to make them doctrines to be believed and followed by the whole Church.

What I'm saying is, "infallibility" is not a personal characteristic of the pope. It is a gift to the Church which protects the Church from erratic popes.

Here, this short video (2 min) should give you a good laugh. It's worth a click:

I see him as a man easily swayed and one who will find himself in league with unholy allies.

So what he is saying is that he is unfit for the position. If we can have one retired living pope, we can have two.

Keywords are not in the title. John Semmons was told to label his titles as satire.

Who is/was John Semmons? I can’t even find a freeper with that handle.
