Cardinal Burke Outlines Formal Correction of Pope Francis’ Teaching

 

[Davidnic]

I think a proper course if to pray and if the cardinals decide to address it in camera caritatis to remain in prayer.

 

[Open Heart]

I read that it will be done behind closed doors. We can only pray.

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

Crd. Burke is a brave, brave man. May God bless him, keep him and give him his crown in heaven when he does leave the earth.

I find so much hope through this man of God.

Holy Mary, pray for him. St Joseph, pray for him, St John the Baptist, pray for him, St Paul pray for him. All the saints and prophets in heaven pray for us.
Amen.

Fr. Aidan Nichols said that Pope Francis' teaching had led to an 'extremely grave' situation.

Can anyone explain in layman terms as to what grave errors are believed to been committed by Pope Francis?

The term “tolerated concubinage”. Just does not do it. Lol

 

[Davidnic]

There's a certain interpretation of the latest encyclical that would allow for divorce remarriage and communion without either an official annulment or even a priest assessing
That nullity exists.

The Pope has not stated or taught this but he also has not responded to the official request for clarification from the Cardinals. And he has not corrected some Bishops who seem to skew toward it.

So we'll see what happens.

Thanks. That is a little clearer than “tolerated concubinage”
Sounds like the title of a inappropriate content flick.

Allowing communion to those in a state of mortal sin, such as those committing adultery (divorced and remarried). I'm waiting for clarification on this, withholding judgment until we hear what the Pope has to say. If he says nothing, then I agree he is out of line with Catholic teaching.

I tend to get the feeling that the Pontiff does understand what he is saying. His controversial comments and writing seem to be little trial balloons to gauge reaction. I feel he would like to move the church to the left.

 

[Davidnic]

My personal thought is that he has always (even as a Bishop not of Rome) been a big supporter of Collegality with the Bishops...a form of limited co-ownership of some decisions. I think, from what I have seen, that he wants the bishops on either side with their varying degrees of viewpoints to debate it out rather than have Rome weigh in constantly. But frankly...I personally think the time has come for some weighing in officially.

May the Holy Spirit guide all in this.

Could be. But we can't actually know until he actually EXPLAINS and dang it all he just won't do it.

 

[AvilaSurfer]

The Church will not move to the left, or get with the times.
The pope's exhortation is very clear. I've read it twice. I see no ambiguity.

Well apparently a large number of Catholics disagree with your interpretation.

And there's the problem. I didn't interpret anything.

I agree it is clear...sadly some Bishops are running with the one footnote. I thought it was pretty clear that people would be going through deep pastoral counseling and interaction. It is not designed to be...come one come all, free pass at the cost of the Sacrament of Marriage. I think the Cardinals just want that solidly clarified.

Who knows. I have always thought it was clear. But I also do not thing the cardinals are out of line for asking in a Dubium.
