It's not the media that has confused things. Francis has granted vague indulgences , most of which have already been given. His putting a time frame, on his "mercy" is ridiculous. Did Jesus Christ put a window on the Sacrament of Confession?
It's a PR stunt, pure and simple. Francis has even confused canon lawyers with his sloppy pronouncement. So unbecoming of a Pope.
Ah! Like Eric Burdon "on a warm San Franciscan night."
John Paul II, Reagan, Maggie Thatcher, Lech Walesa. What an interesting time when these 4 toppled the might of the Soviet Union.

Then he went into how "Qabbalah" is somehow the "secret religion" of the "super bankers" and I just turned him off. He may know Catholicism but when it comes to Qabbalah he (like the vast majority of people who throw the term around) couldn't possibly have a clue as to what he's talking about.
Yep, as the summer winds down.
Lighten up Francis.
Also, the guy’s voice sounds just like that of the late Fr. Nicholas Gruner. I remember listening to Gruner on radio one time (while I was off at school) opining that it’s a good thing most Jews or so liberal or they’d all murder us in our beds as the Talmud instructs them(!!!).
Only infallible when speaking from the throne of Peter. “Ex Cathedra”, on certain areas of Church doctrine.
His Marxist leanings and pronouncements are NOT “Ex Cathedra,” but his personal opinions.
Non-Catholics will be excused for not knowing this, since , sadly, many Catholics don’t know it either...
Interesting how those areas keep shrinking.
This Pope is throwing a Hail Mary pass to regain market share.
For example?
Hats off to you if you’ve actually read it all, or any substantial portion.
That’s mighty meaty stuff right there. I’ve only nibbled few bites of it.
On another website, long ago, some fool, thinking himself a scientist (IOW, Catholic basher) claimed Thomas Aquinas was so dumb he thought women get pregnant through their ears.
Near as I could figure, he may have been wildly misunderstanding the famous treatise on ensoulment, but I wasn’t sure.
Since I didn’t really know what I was talking about either, the best comeback I could think of was, “Well! Aquinas has been published and studied for eight centuries. But your little dingleberries of wisdom will be forgotten in five minutes, bubba!”
I sure told him, huh? Hehe.
It was an interesting article.
No. Dump all the illegals in St Peters and let the Pope deal with them. Then build a wall around the Vatican.
I am vastly ignorant. Something I realize more all the time.
Good. Toss that commie deceiver out already.
Deep things of Satan? And the Deep State? Unlikely coincidence.
What are the deep things of Satan?
Is he going to meet with Trump?
I watched secrets of NY where they talked about the world trade center then and now. I still think twin towers are needed. They were like cathedral towers on either side of the main doors. I worked on the 94 or 96th floor of the south tower. I remember a season of rain taking the elevator and getting out in sunshine.
Organize religion is nothing more than a business.
Establish a new doctrine and get customers.
