even us as Lay people, we have heard and can see more than one heretical statement ( God wills non-Christian religions… Those living in adultery can receive communion…) from our Pope, God bless these theologians for saying something!
Is the heresy of donatism exclusive to priests? In other words, if my best interpretation of some of Pope Francis’ statements is that they are heretical due to the most basic philosophical first principle – the law of non-contradiction (truth can’t contradict itself – neither can the Pope contradict magisterial teaching). As a practicing Eastern Catholic I still pray for the Pope of Rome in the Divine Liturgy celebrated by valid & licitly ordained priests. Therefore, I’m not a sedevacantist and I’m also not afraid to call a spade a spade. The Pope can choose to follow the footsteps of St. Peter – repent for the confusion he’s causing or he can remain silent as did Judas – I pray he chooses the former. But when the woman said that she saw Peter with Christ, she was right. Bravo to the theologians who are calling a spade a spade while the Pope and other leaders have abandoned the Body of Christ due to their silence and / or promotion of immoral activity and confusion. The successor of St. Peter will strengthen his brethren one way or another by the grace of God and His promise of the Holy Spirit with the Church even until the end of time – unto the ages of ages…
CHRIST IS RISEN!
The Catechism is so against Francis and his friends (Cupich, Scicluna, Martin) . What the Catechism says about discernment is one thing and Francis goes against it in Amoris Laetitia, numeral 3 is a resounding “yes” to doctrinal division in the Church and relativism.
Absolutely you’re right
Raymond wants to question whether the writers and signers of this letter are subject to canon punishment? Let’s hear you question Father James Martin for his blatant breaking of canon law. Let’s here you question the thousands of priests and bishops who openly defy canon law at every single Mass. You ask isn’t there a better avenue to question Pope Francis? ITS BEEN DONE. It’s been done! Nothing is ever responded to. Congratulations on these good lay Catholics for speaking out. Our Lady of Good Success prophesied, “In this supreme moment of need of the Church, the one who should speak will fall silent!”
These brave souls at least did not fall silent. They wrote respectfully and carefully. At least acknowledge that.
I see an entirely “un-Catholic” attitude about the Sovereign Pontiff among many self styled “faithful Catholics.” The way people are dealing with this situation is itself a scandal.
