Francis Encourages Lisbon Cardinal to Keep Promoting Mortal Sin

[frog in a pot]

He lays out two reasons why: the first is Francis’s autocratic style and the second is the divisive program he is advancing.

The latter certainly nails it. The "program" does much more than simply fail to promote unity, rather it sows the seeds for disunity. That, of course, has been the world-wide left's agenda for more than 50 years and it has been obvious even to casual observers.

[Mrs. Don-o]

From the final paragraph:

"...we should pray for Pope Francis and for the Church in this uncertain time knowing that:

• the Faith has overcome similar challenges in the past,
• Pope Francis does not have the authority to permanently alter magisterial teaching, and
• harmful changes in pastoral practice can be reversed."

Meanwhile: Faith. Hope. Love.

And Resistance.
