This man is a Judas Goat leading Catholics to perdition. Unite the Clans is a coward's cry! Does this huckster forget that Satan knows scripture better than any living being and used scripture to tempt Christ. To apply Matts principle this means that when Satan says something good " it is important that we acknowledge that".
Well at least the above is proof that Matt didn't just flip with Leo. He's always been "recognize & resist" It's habitual. I have to admit, I was a big proponent of "look to the Holy Father in Rome" for the Truth. Of course that was under other less scandalous {albeit NOT perfect by any means} pontiffs versus the brazen dissent of many bishops, priests, & religious around the world. But now? It really seems the prophecy is undeniable: Rome has lost the Faith!
When a false prophet says something good he is catholic? Ridiculous.
No. But when my cat uses her scratching post instead of my chair, I reinforce the behavior.
The problem is I trust my cat to improve her behavior much more than I expect Provost to.
