  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Was the Pope wrong to slap the woman's hand? I mean, he did apologize, this sets the example...doesn't it?

Is the Papal "Pull" Infallible?

:holy:

Papal Infallibility is only taking place when the Bishop of Rome speaks with regard to faith and morals "Ex Cathedra" or 'from the chair of St.Peter.'
Only 2 Popes - in 2000 years of history - have spoken "Ex Cathedra", and both times was with regard to Mariology.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.

I don't blame the old guy for slapping her hand but he apologized, he's the pope, Catholics should follow his example and allow woman to pull old people around.

Thus, Popes have made many, many infallible pronouncements, without making ex cathedra statements, as head of the ordinary magisterium. Ordinatio Sacerdotalis is a good example of a definitive papal pronouncement that confirms or reaffirms a teaching of the ordinary and universal Magisterium.

I enjoyed your comment actually.
Do not swat at the gnat and swallow the camel though.
To worry about this issue with regard to the woman pulling his arm is the least of the Churches concern.
Christians are not obliged to follow the Bishop of Rome when he is in deep error almost constantly every time he opens his mouth.

How do you know when he is in error? Do you have to wait for another pope to tell you the previous pope made a mistake? Maybe you are displaying "rigidity"?

Pope denounces 'rigidity' as he warns of Christian decline

So it would be in the opposite direction, looking to what takes precedence. This is the way the Church has always functioned, when it comes to some Biblical passage or interpretation thereof we look to history. When we are checking to see if some comment made by the pope is congruent with the Faith we look to history. Always to history. So we are not waiting for a future Pope but looking to those that preceded him. And those that preceded him are in unanimous agreement that this pope ought to be held by the faithful as heretical.

I dont know what your are supposing or asking ??
One must be subject to the Pope of Rome. How can you be subject to a heretic and not become one?

In other words, if you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas.

Yours,
