Man cannot change the times and laws of God.
Pope Francis, by doing so, is establishing the RC has God’s authority to change times and laws.

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
-Daniel 7:25

Actually the letter can be read as giving a blessing to any couple in an irregular relationship, as in unmarried living together, remarried when the first spouse is alive, polygamous couples, child marriage etc.

Francis wanted to give such people sacramental communion a few years ago and already printed it in a document claiming to be the decision of a bishops meeting, but he was caught and had to remove it. But someone snuck it in with a footnote, and that let him tell his friendly heretical bishop friend it was ok to give communion to sinners.

Ann Barnhart has videos explaining how he is not pope, and she might be right.

For three centuries after Christ died there was no Pope, no Vatican, and no ‘Bible’ and yet the first Christians were utterly devoted to God and worshipped him at the risk and cost of their lives.

“Such blessings would not rise to the level of church-sanctioned same-sex marriages, the Vatican cautioned, but would offer gay Catholics the opportunity to seek God’s mercy without being subjected to ‘an exhaustive moral analysis.’

No “exhaustive moral analysis “ is needed. Sin is easy to identify and does not require “analysis” of any knind.

I have one question for Frank:

WHO THE HECK DOES HE THINK HE IS.

He is the epitome of a ...please excuse the vulgarity...the TURD IN THE PUNCHBOWL.

The sooner the Church can get rid of him...the BETTER.

Pope and God don’t have anything to do with each other.

The RCC let the camel’s nose get into the tent many years ago when they turned a blind eye to homosexuals flocking to the priesthood. Now other parts of the camel are in the tent.

Excellent discussion on The World Over. The regulars with Raymond Arroyo said the Mafia and Cosa Nostra could ask for special permission for priestly blessings on the same basis as the gay couples. Just set aside some inconvenient moral matters for them, too.

They said bishops and priests are going to be pressured by the woke types and it’s wrong to try to ignore the matter as “he didn’t actually say gays could have marriages recognized.” Blessing the fact that they are violating a moral law of the Church and getting away with it puts the virtuous people who don’t act upon same sex attraction feelings in a defensive position.

The Pope cannot overrule God

Someone should tell him...

Pearls are not to be cast before swine it’s true, but it would seem some of these faithless or faith-defying individuals need to be exposed to a public miracle or two to snap them out of their neuroses.

No surprise here.

This is what happens when you tell a Jesuit that he’s infallible.

God over rules “pope”?

I guess Mary might have to step in.

People REALLY need to stop calling this tool of satan “Pope”. It should be clear by now that he is squatting in the seat. Has never been the Pope, the entire thing is about as valid as the 2020 election and the guy currently squatting in the White House.

This pope has done more to discredit the holiness of the papacy than the church’s enemies could ever do.

“I will just say this, with brokenness, not with triumphalism: I don’t doubt your love for each other. I don’t doubt that part of you really wants to honor the Lord. “

Love has nothing to do with deviance. Deviance is extreme must continually be so. That’s why these people want to talk to children about sex.The author is a bit delusional.
