Conservative Catholics Accuse Pope Francis Of Heresy As Theological Split In Catholic Church Grows Wider

In a 25-page letter delivered to Pope Francis last month and provided
Saturday to The Associated Press, the 62 signatories issued a "filial
correction" to the pope — a measure they said hadn't been employed since
the 14th century. The letter accused Pope Francis of propagating seven
heretical positions concerning marriage, moral life and the sacraments
with his 2016 document "The Joy of Love" and subsequent "acts, words and
omissions."

Several
dozen tradition-minded Roman Catholic theologians, priests and
academics have formally accused Pope Francis of spreading heresy with
his 2016 opening to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics.

“So
he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman
sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:13-15 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: As far as I am concerned, everything
the Catholic church teaches is heresy, but it’s oh-so-interesting to
see a huge church split in the making with the old unholy Vatican whore
of Revelation 17 and 18. PT Barnum was right when he said “you can’t
fool all the people all the time”, and the slippery Pope Francis’  jet
ski is about to hit the rocks. The natives are restless, Frankie boy,
look sharp! I guess papal infallibility is not what it used to be, lol. 

In a 25-page letter delivered
to Pope Francis last month and provided Saturday to The Associated
Press, the 62 signatories issued a “filial correction” to the pope — a
measure they said hadn’t been employed since the 14th century.

The
letter accused Pope Francis of propagating seven heretical positions
concerning marriage, moral life and the sacraments with his 2016
document “The Joy of Love” and subsequent “acts, words and omissions.”

The
initiative follows another formal act by four tradition-minded
cardinals who wrote Francis last year asking him to clarify a series of
questions, or “dubbia,” they had about his 2016 text.

Pope
Francis hasn’t responded to either initiative. The Vatican spokesman
didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment late Saturday.

None of the signatories
of the new letter is a cardinal, and the highest-ranking churchman
listed is actually someone whose organization has no legal standing in
the Catholic Church: Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior of the breakaway
Society of St. Pius X. Several other signatories are well-known admirers
of the old Latin Mass which Fellay’s followers celebrate.

But
organizers said the initiative was nevertheless significant and a sign
of the concern among a certain contingent of academics and pastors over
Francis’ positions, which they said posed a danger to the faithful.

“There
is a role for theologians and philosophers to explain to people the
church’s teaching, to correct misunderstandings,” said Joseph Shaw, a
spokesman for the initiative, signatory of the correction and senior
research fellow in moral philosophy at Oxford University.

When it was released in April 2016, “The Joy of Love”
immediately sparked controversy because it opened the door to letting
civilly remarried Catholics receive Communion. Church teaching holds
that unless these Catholics obtain an annulment — a church decree that
their first marriage was invalid — they cannot receive the sacraments,
since they are seen as committing adultery.

Francis didn’t create a
church-wide pass for these Catholics, but suggested — in vague terms
and strategically placed footnotes — that bishops and priests could do
so on a case-by-case basis after accompanying them on a spiritual
journey of discernment. Subsequent comments and writings have made clear
he intended such wiggle room, part of his belief that God’s mercy
extends in particular to sinners and that the Eucharist isn’t a prize
for the perfect but nourishment for the weak.

Shaw said none of
the four cardinals involved in the initial “dubbia” letter, nor any
other cardinal, was involved in the “filial correction.”

Organizers said the last time such a correction was issued was to Pope John XXII in 1333 for errors which he later recanted. source
