“Pope Francis is not making a doctrinal statement about the illegitimacy always and everywhere of the death penalty but merely a prudential judgment about the inopportuneness of its use at this time in history.”
Has he said anything about the inopportuneness of the use of abortion at this time in history?
Honestly, I simply do not understand how the Catholic church has not run this heretic out on a rail. I mean this guy is so over the top bad, and yet no one seems to be able to say or do anything about it.
I am a practicing 50's Catholic and I can proudly say this...
NOT MY POPE!
Simplicio is trying to have it both ways. A logician he is not.
The pope is first and foremost a liberal. His current job is to be a clown with a pointy hat and red shoes in Rome. He is certainly not fit to be the successor of Peter, and must resign.
He has not condemned abortion or the gay cardinal orgy in the Vatican.
“this time in history”
Isn’t the probability of a wrongful execution smaller now than ever before? If so why now?
Am I going to get a copy of the new page and instructions how to replace the now deficient page in my Catechism? There is some precedent for that in the appropriate sources.
I wonder if there is not a sort of sub-Schism in the Church now due to this “pope?”
It seems to me that the best explanation is that someone in the Vatican is trying to take some heat off of the liberals in the U.S. hierarchy by diverting some of the energy that could be put into treeing the hierarchy over the McCarrick scandal, which looks to have the potential to finally blow open a coven of corruption.
Of the two dozen or so nations that actually executed people in 2017, with more than 2500 judicial executions, only three of them, Belarus (2), the South Sudan (4), and the U.S. (23), even have Christian majorities. South Sudan has the highest Catholic percentage (37%) as well as the highest per-capita execution rate (they have a population of 12 million, Belarus a population of 9).
They also have a per-capita income of under $760 dollars.
It would be interesting to make an argument from the perspective of South Sudan, but somehow I don’t think that this thing is being addressed here, or at China, where the majority of the executions occur, or at the Islamic nations that account for nearly all of the executions outside of China.
I think U.S. Catholics are being trolled.
You seem to be quite interested in all articles I post, caucused or not.
Why don’t you stalk elsewhere?
Nope...but when you plaster the Religion Forum with seemingly every article you can get your hands on, it's not hard to miss.
Why don’t you stalk elsewhere?
Still living under that delusion....
We get you hate the pope....even though you have to obey him per Unam Sanctam....which you refuse to do.
You're your own little luther.
Oh...and get that help, ebb....and soon.
How many of you are in that head of yours?
How many of you are in that head of yours?
Everyone who sees your incessant posts against your pope.
I wonder if someone could explain the difference between this pope and Arius the heretic?
Since when do you post for “everyone”.
Sounds kind of pompous.
What’s up with your brohood with Bergoglio that you defend him so much?
Arius wasn’t both a pope and a heretic.
