The Pope has issued another letter (that no ordinary person will read, of course) and his minions and even the "conservatives" love it.

But slipped into the text: If you believe in God's laws, you are bad/rigid. Conscience is king! If you think it's okay, well who am I to judge? (so in a world where sociopathy is king, who dares to preach morality? A Canadian Jungian psychologist echoing Marcus Aurelius... duh.)

If you seek silence to find God, you are bad, (so get rid of Christian contemplation, never mind the thousands seeking this with gurus good and bad).

 and of course, abortion isn't as important as allowing poor refugees young men who are not refugees but M13 gang members/ISIS members to immigrate into your town.

Divorce is taboo, says Jesus? Well, the Pope says it depends.

I have seen terrible marriages that led to divorce, but instead of analyzing that there should be an annulment because from the beginning the marriage was a sham: e.g.one of the spouses was crazy (my husband's first wife)/lying (my uncle's first spouse and my son's first spouse both of whom married and left them quickly, admitting they had no plans to actually be a spouse) /an abusive addict (my aunt's first husband).

But here, the Pope is just saying: nah, if you get tired of the bitch and found a good looking chickie, just divorce her, like the Kennedys do. (Yes I know: Trumpieboy. But last time I looked, he isn't Catholic).

FatherZ quotes a book review that explains what's wrong with this.

Of course, if the church was in error on communion for the divorced and remarried, it meant that the previous popes were in error, that previous councils were in error, that the English martyrs were in error, that not only the Church’s moral teachings but also her ecclesiology and sacramentology were wrong, and that there were no principled reasons to reject communion for cohabitating couples or sincere homosexual couples. That is, this was not a matter of pastoral accommodation but a revolution calling into doubt the very meaning and existence of the Roman Catholic Church. It also meant that untold millions of Catholics had struggled to resist sin, and to confess when they failed, for no reason. It had all been in vain, a ridiculous hang-up without cause. (One bishop even suggested that Jesus himself had been wrong and unmerciful to reject the Mosaic law permitting divorce.) ….

here is a talk from a far right group that summarizes the problem:



ah but then we have our Lady of Akita. The Jesuits tried to get this ignored, but the bishop approved the apparition (unlike Lipa, where the Bishops were threatened with excommunication and caved in).

The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God.
