Francis Condemns Situation Ethics, And Then Preaches Them

Francis told Jesuits during his Thailand trip that a question about divorcees who [illegally] remarry can be answered in two ways,

“In a casuistic way, which however is not Christian, even if it can be ecclesiastical; or according to the Church's Magisterium as in the eighth chapter of Amoris Laetitia, that is, journey, accompany and discern to find solutions.

This has nothing to do with situation ethics, but with the great moral tradition of the Church” (Transcript: LaCiviltaCattolica.it, December 5).

Francis is wrong in every sentence:

- "Christian" and "ecclesiastical" cannot be played off against each other.
- His private concept published in a footnote of Amoris Laetitia is not the Magisterium of the Church.
- Amoris Laetitia is an unfortunate example of situation ethics - condemned by Francis - that allows evil acts like adultery in certain situations.

In the context of another question, Francis again preached situation ethics by claiming that “there are no rules that are definitive and always valid,” a thesis that seems to cancel the Then Commandments.

His remaining statements were about promoting leftwing politics like climate alarmism ("the survival of the planet is a fundamental theme"), mass-immigration ("refugees are waste material"), promoting human trafficking ("the Mediterranean has been turned into a cemetery"), and comparing walls allegedly separating parents and children to Herod’s infanticide.

The Modernists' goals to destroy the Church. Keep introducing ambiguities backed by doublespeak while moving the goalpost until all Catholic are lead by satan.

IF global warming is taking place and IF it is caused by rising CO2 levels, then as humanity only contributes 3% of total CO2 emissions, there is absolutely NOTHING that we can do to prevent it. The only thing that can be done is to adapt to changing conditions and help poorer countries to adapt. This will be much cheaper and more viable than trying to eradicate fossil fuels anyway. How pathetic …More

“I must admit that I am shocked by some of the narratives I hear in Europe about borders. Populism is gaining strength. In other parts there are walls that even separate children from parents. “Herod comes to mind”

"" In a casuistic way, which however is not Christian, even if it can be ecclesiastical; or according to the Church's Magisterium as in the eighth chapter of Amoris Laetitia, that is, journey, accompany and discern to find solutions. "
Casuistic path is Christian, because it is pure logic.
And the "Magisterium" must be consistent with the constant Magisterium, which does not happen in the case of AL. …More
