Kazakhstan Bp’s Call Comm for Remarried “Alien to Entire Tradition of the Catholic Apostolic Faith”

Almost exactly a year after they issued a call for prayer that the pope would uphold Catholic teaching on marriage, three bishops from Kazakhstan — Tomash Peta, Metropolitan Archbishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana, Jan Pawel Lenga, Archbishop-Bishop emeritus of Karaganda, and Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of the archdiocese of Saint Mary in Astana — have issued a new statement, saying that any change in sacramental discipline that would allow Catholic divorcees living in new sexual unions to receive Holy Communion is “alien to the entire Tradition of the Catholic and Apostolic faith”.

One year ago this month, these same bishops issued a joint statement urging the faithful to pray that Pope Francis would “confirm the unchanging praxis of the Church with regard to the truth of the indissolubility of marriage.”

Every Catholic bishop who doesn't subscribe unequivocally to the statement of the Kazakhstan bishops is no longer a Catholic and should do the only honest and honorable thing and resign his office and leave the Catholic Church.

God will not be conned. He will be the true God of surprises, as our heretic bishops will find out when they die. Just follow Bergoglio, boys. Follow him straight to hell.

And I though Christians believe in forgiveness - but what do I know . . .

What we are seeing is anti Pope using the power of incremental-ism to dismantle the Catholic church. Next up gay “unions”.

I agree. Somebody elsewhere (on a Spanish source I read) said that this is the formal correction. I think they’ve initiated it, certainly.

- but what do I know . . .

Nothing, apparently.

really! Have you been forgiven? It really is an important question.

To make a good confession five things are necessary:
(1) Examination of Conscience; (2) Sorrow for having offended God; (3) A resolution of sinning no more; (4) Confession of our sins; (5) Satisfaction or penance.

That is true - but this is between the sinner and God - who is man to judge what God has forgiven. I agree there is great risk/danger for the repentant sinner, but this decision/judgement is not up to another man. God sent His Son so that we could be returned to the full relationship (communion) with Him enjoyed by Adam before the first sin. Who is man to stand in the way once Jesus has died to offer us mercy? Please, leave the judgment for God - that’s His job.
