Yes, clear and to the point. He contrasts well the teaching on morality between Pope Francis and Pope John Paul II. Proportionality! Lord have Mercy!
It is a major flaw in the thinking of Francis. It is probable a future Pontiff will correct the errors in Amoris Laetitia. If AL is a correct interpretation of the moral law with regard to cohabitation and marriage then the whole edifice of Catholic teaching will collapse and Humane Vitae consigned to the dust bin. The truth of Christ's teaching will have been obliterated and we become like the protestants. I am a simple layman but if AL is truly Catholic I may as well join a Protestant sect and become a Bible thumping preacher.
After canceling trip, Pope Francis sending Cardinal Parolin to visit Africa Cardinal Pietro Parolin. | Claude Truong-Ngoc via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0). By CNA Staff Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jun 27, 2022 / 12:57 pm After reluctantly bowing out of his own scheduled trip to Africa in July, Pope Francis has decided to send the Vatican's second-highest-ranking official in his place. “Following the postponement of his Apostolic Journey to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and to South Sudan, His Holiness Pope Francis has decided to send the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to Kinshasa and Juba in order to show his closeness to the beloved peoples of the Congo and South Sudan,” the Holy See’s press office announced Monday. Parolin’s visit will take place July 1-8. The Vatican first announced June 10 that Pope Francis’ July trip would be postponed for health reasons, particularly his knee. The following Sunday, the pontiff apologized for postponing his trip because of his knee pain and vowed to reschedule it “as soon as possible.” In his recent public appearances this month, he has either used a wheelchair or relied on a cane. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251651/cardinal-parolin-africa-trip-pope-francis

It's causing me to have a crisis in my church. I had a talk about this with Jesus this afternoon. Our church had beliefs and principles and morality. And a reverence for the Eucharist. If the Pope does not believe in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist what are the flock to do? How can we evangelize if everything becomes a mockery. Pope Francis blessed Nancy Prlosi. What was he blessing? It should have been an exorcism. I'm waiting for my answer. We need Elijah and St.Patrick right now.
At Akita, Our Lady said there would be Cardinals against Cardinals and Bishops against Bishops. I definitely see your point and share your pain.
Picked this up from Fr Zs blog today…… more true today than it was 50 years ago. “… We would say that, through some mysterious crack—no, it’s not mysterious; through some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the Church of God. There is doubt, uncertainty, problems, unrest, dissatisfaction, confrontation. “The Church is no longer trusted. We trust the first pagan prophet we see who speaks to us in some newspaper, and we run behind him and ask him if he has the formula for true life. I repeat, doubt has entered our conscience. And it entered through the windows that should have been open to the light: science.” “… It was thought that, after the Council, sunny days would come for the history of the Church. Nevertheless, what came were days of clouds, of storms, of darkness, of searching, of uncertainty … We tried to dig abysses instead of covering them …” - St. Pope Paul VI Exactly 50 years ago today- June 29, 1972
An act of defiance by Nancy Pelosi that contributes to the confusion encircling our Church. I can only imagine what Archbishop Cordileone was thinking. What can we do but pray for her, and Pope Francis. Such a sad time for the faithful.
I can't help to think of my dream where a priest if high rank, a feeble and cowardly old man, opened the doors of the church to let the darkness sweep in like a furious wind.
I can only point out that I see this news showing up across all mainstream news sources: CNBC, Reuters, abcnews...and in MS press of other languages too. This means the story is put out there deliberately to affect the flock, create more division and more confusion. Resist the rumors, resist the bait put in the press, we don't know exactly what is going on. Pray, pray, pray. And penance, penance, penance folks.
Well said. Demoralised discouraged devout Catholics make weak prayer warriors. Ignore the news. We must "set our face like flint" and keep climbing Golgotha with Jesus.
