A shocking new piece of information comes to us from Germany, from the website Katholisches.info, which is principally run by the well-informed Vatican expert and loyal Catholic layman, Giuseppe Nardi. He reported on 18 November – the day before the controversial “non-existent” Consistory of Cardinals in Rome – that Pope Francis has decided to re-write the statutes of the Pontifical Academy for Life in a way which essentially re-makes this organization.
Relying on a 5 November 2016 report published by the German branch of Vatican Radio, called Radio Vatikan, Nardi has published the new statutes of the Academy. Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia was appointed as the new head of this Dicastery in August of 2016, which in itself signaled a change of direction for the Academy. Now, as Nardi reports, with these new statutes, all current members will be removed and a new set of up to seventy members will be installed.
As the new statutes say, these new members will be appointed independently of religious orientation. From the revised statutes:
§ 5 – Directions and Norms for Members
a) Academicians are selected, without any religious discrimination, from among well-known ecclesiastical, religious and lay persons of various nationalities, who are expert in the disciplines pertaining to human life… [my emphasis]

This Pope is not a Catholic.
This Pope sucks.
Benedict may have to be recalled. It’s like living in the 14th Century. Years ago James Blish wrote a series on the end times where Lucifer wins. The world endures nuclear war. A new Pope is invested in Venice. He is the Demon.
Can we have some muslims in the group?
How about searching for wisdom not by asking God about it, but by inquiring of the world’s idols?
I’m a Protestant, and even I am wondering if this is fake news.
Guys, Francis is compensating left for the world (and Trump) moving right.
.
I said there were going to be serious repercussions in this power struggle and people beat me up for it.
I really didn’t think it would start this soon..and I suspect it will get worse.
“Important in this context is that several members of the Pontifical Academy for Life have been strong defenders of Catholic Doctrine in the face of the Francis Revolution. No less prominent a Catholic figure than Professor Josef Seifert — who has written one of the most compelling, merciful and convincing rebukes of the post-synodal exhortation Amoris Laetita — has himself been a member of this papal institution, and will now most probably be replaced by someone more lenient with regard to the laxer “Francis Doctrine.””
Lighten up, Francis
Well, so much for papal infallibility.
This has nothing to do with infallibility.
But surely you must have known that?
From the article:
“When will Catholics around the world wake up and stand up to a man who is increasingly undermining the very foundations of our beloved and holy Catholic Faith?”
Pope Peronista I has spoken.
How long, Oh Lord? How long? Please send us a Catholic pope and ASAP.
take a look at the ecumenical event in Jerusalem Sept 4 - Sept 23. FRANCIS was there. Concurrent the consecration of the Arch of Baal in New York and all over the world was carried out simultaneous with the event.
Does that mean no more "is the Pope Catholic" remarks?
That only applies ex-cathedra
Not in a case like this.
Shocking? Really?
As the new statutes say, these new members will be appointed independently of religious orientation.
As Francis said, he is just following in the (Vatican II) Council's and his predecessors' footsteps: the false religion of ecumenism at full speed ahead. So nothing shocking here...
“Well, so much for papal infallibility.
Popes as bad as this one are the reason there exists the doctrine of papal infallibility...think about it...what papal infallibility means is that IN SPITE of what a LOSER or QUISLING any particular pope may be, God will prevent him from officially changing true teachings of the church...the worse Pope Francis sis revealed to be, the more often I remind myself about papal infallibility.
