This is not holy, catholic, or apostolic; it is dangerous. Souls are being deceived.<br /><br />I thank God for the writers of the dubia. I'm praying for a purification of the hearts, minds, and souls of the hierarchy and laity of our Holy Mother Church.

Consistent with the procedure of this whole papacy--in effect, encouraging heresy without committing it.<br /><br />Is there a logical alternative to this conclusion--that is, some other sensible interpretation of the pope's action (and inaction)? If not, why belabor the matter with endless discussion--when his intention is already perfectly clear?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-17197374254637961792016-12-31T08:52:32.973-05:002016-12-31T08:52:32.973-05:00The entire issue can be resolved if the Pope answe...The entire issue can be resolved if the Pope answered the dubia. Not answering the dubia is the problem and fueling division and animosity. <br />As for the Crux article, it forgets the point of the dubia, to wit, that in various parts of the Church, Amoris Laetitia seems to be being interpreted contrary to the long standing teaching of the Church. Why is there so much apparent arrogance in simply answering these questions which would once and for all make things clear as to the validity of these interpretations?Victornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-60923251608002152662016-12-31T08:47:03.581-05:002016-12-31T08:47:03.581-05:00"Let's face it, long before Pope Francis ..."Let's face it, long before Pope Francis and during the time of Popes Paul, John Paul I, John Paul II and Benedict, the internal forum has been used licitly or illicitly and there wasn't much news on it if any."<br /><br />Was not illicit use of the so-called "internal forum" (in reality, not a legitimate forum at all) by ill-formed priests, a problem rather than a solution? And, at the least, a symptom of decline of belief in moral law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
