62 scholars correct Pope Francis for ‘propagating heresies’

ROME, September 23, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Expressing “profound grief” and “filial devotion,” Catholic clergy and lay scholars from around the world have issued what they are calling a “Filial Correction” to Pope Francis for “propagating heresy.”

The Filial Correction, in the form of a 25-page letter, bears the signatures of sixty-two Catholic academics, researchers, and scholars in various fields from twenty countries. They assert that Pope Francis has supported heretical positions about marriage, the moral life, and the Eucharist that are causing a host of “heresies and other errors” to spread throughout the Catholic Church.

The Bishop of Rome is being accused of situational relativity.

Francis wants the leeway to allow someone to take communion when divorced, and remarried, and thus in a state of sin through adultery without the Catholic Churches say-so. Unfortunately, he does not actually say that the Catholic Church should stay out of civil marriages, thus making divorce/adultery something to be blinked at from a Church point of view, nor does he say that such illicit divorce and consequent adultery is always a sin, which it is according to Scripture if marriage is not a contract, but a sacrement.

I am impressed that so many people are openly coming against him for this attack on the marital state. If he was interested in the actual problems of those Catholic's that are divorced under civil law, who still want to have a spouse and children and stay within the Catholic Church, then he ought to loosen the regulations on 'Annulments', and be honest about his apparent belief that marriage is not supposed to be a lifetime commitment under Catholic jurisprudence in all cases.

However, it is not only Francis's official position that is the problem, but that Francis seems to be allowing a lot of leeway in sexual situations. He has already decreed that there is leeway, and is assumed to be speaking ex cathedra...infallilabally. The Church could live with that and yet stomp on it firmly, if Francis wasn't continually saying in interviews and other communications that these matters, in his private opinion, are open to question by the laity.

Fortunately, in America at least, the Parish Priest is usually the one that says yes or no to taking communion in the Catholic way...and parishes are able to be changed if you don't like how your local parish handles these matters. And for non-Catholics, we don't generally allow our church fellowship to decide whether to divorce and remarry, even if we don't like divorce, and don't agree to it ourselves.

The other problem brought up as part of the problem is Francis' admiration for Luther's ideas on marriage...which is not precisely catholic or necessarily even Christian. It is certainly not Biblical.

In the end, Francis must say whether marriage is an absolute, indissoluble contract, or undermine the Catholic Church on the definition of absolute evil. As usual, I end up being sorry for those under the sway of rules not written in the Scriptures...they never make sense.
