>>I yearn for that old-time, pre-Vatican II Catholicism. Starting with the Latin mass.<<

I completely rejected the entire VC-11 debacle when it happened. Thankfully Tridentine Mass communities were almost immediately formed all over the world. Unfortunately, I now live over a hundred miles from the nearest one of them.

>>We are Lutherans here. The pope is just a man.<<

We are Catholics here, and I’ve never met any other Catholics who would disagree with you, nor I suspect have you. Which begs the question: What’s your point?

Well and truly said.

>>And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your spiritual Father.

Matthew 23:9<<

You interpretation of this passage is incorrect for an obvious reason: The divinely inspired sacred scriptures include the use of the word “father”! GET REAL!

>>You and I need to go to Holy Scripture as our reliable guide on this, rather than a merely human interpretation.<<

Thank you so much for your excellent response to one of the silliest of anti-Catholic arguments still being thrown around by religious bigots.

>>this surprises me since the church gives communion to unrepentant people who support and fund abortions.<<

I’m a traditionalist Catholic who firmly believes that one of the PRIMARY causes of the degradation and disintegration of western culture has been the failure the Church to teach and to PRACTICE the fundamental doctrines of the faith.

I suspect there is also a whole lot of criminality going on as well.

The people who give Holy Communion to unrepentant accomplices/cooperators of abortion, are in violation of Canon Law. All of them.

Sacrilegious reception or distribution of Holy Communion not an expression of Catholicism, but of anti-Catholicism on the part of the ministers of the Sacrament.

All of them.

Actually,Pope Francis made two correct statements right in a row: one against gay 'marriage,' and one against abortion.

I know what you mean about "what's he going to say next?"

But when he says something that's actually Catholic, we have to give him credit -- him, and the Holy Spirit.

Pray for the Pope. Seriously.

The French Popes at Avignon were not impostors; they were deserters.

In other words, they were legitimately elected, but were derelict in their duty.

St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church, finally got the pope to come back to Rome. But after that, the Church got 40 years of something worse: "dueling" conclaves, with different groups of Cardinals claiming to have elected the legitimate pope, resulting in a schismatic scramble for 40 years when two, and sometimes three men claiming the papacy at the same time.

So you see, the Church has been in a mell of a hess before, but --- thanks to the Holy Spirit--- survived it.

Pray for Christ to rescue His Bride.
