Gloria.TV News on the 28th of April 2014
Unlikely: Conservative Ross Douthat commented on Pope Francis’ phone call with an Argentinean woman to which he allegedly gave permission to live in adultery. The Vatican press office later stated that Pope Francis’ words are nobody’s business except for the woman herself. Douthat writes: “This formulation may be technically correct, but it’s also a little bit absurd. Even in ‘private’ conversation, the pope is, well, the pope, and this pontiff in particular is no naïf about either the media or human nature. Whatever was actually said, the idea that it never occurred to Francis that a pastoral call on such a fraught subject might get media attention seems ... unlikely.”
Late-Soviet scenario: According to Douthat the Pope’s phone call and the coverage of it suggest two obvious perils. Quote: "One is what you might call the late-Soviet scenario, in which Catholic doctrine is officially unaltered, but the impression grows that even the pope doesn’t really believe these things, and that when the Church’s leaders affirm a controversial position they’re going through the ideological motions — like Brezhnev-era apparatchiks — and not actually trying to teach a living faith.”
Dashed-expectations: The second scenario is according to Douthat the dashed-expectations scenario, in which the assumption that a Church teaching is about to change creates widespread disaffection when it doesn’t. Quote: “This happened with contraception in the 1960s, and it could easily happen with divorce and remarriage under Francis.”
Schism Scenario: Douthat mulls a third perilous scenario – quote: “Francis could actually be considering a truly major shift on remarriage and communion, in which the annulment requirement is dispensed with and (perhaps) a temporary penance is substituted.” Such a shift – according to Douthat - wouldn’t just provoke conservative grumbling but threaten outright schism. Quote: “The Church has famous martyrs to the indissolubility of Christian marriage, and its teaching on divorce and adultery is grounded not just in tradition or natural law, but in the explicit words of Jesus of Nazareth.”

"It is true that "temperance" is used in our days/Church to condone sin." ![🥴](/emoji/f09fa5b4)
The Roman Catholic church does NOT use "Temperance" to condone sin! Did you mean the church or some people in the church. ![🤨](/emoji/f09fa4a8)

You gave Adeste Fideles
which clearly means that you agree with the content of his posting.
Perhaps both of you have the “real holy spirit [sic]”inside of you?
If so, who is “this man” that adeste fideles writes about and for which you congratulated him? Is "this man" that adeste fideles wrote about Pope Francis or is it someone else?
If Pope Francis is not the visible head of the Catholic Church, who do you say he really is?

Recuerden que hay tres cosas que nadie, ni siquiera el Papa puede cambiar.... Estas son las tres cosas que nadie puede cambiar en la Iglesia:
1.Los 10 mandamientos, son 10 para todos para los sacerdotes, para los obispos, los niños, los gais, los divorciados, las lesbianas etc. etc.
2. Nadie puede quitar ni añadir una sola palabra a la Biblia. El mismo Cristo amenaza con borrar del libro de la vida al que añada o quite una sola palabra.
3. El depositum fidei. La vid verdadera no puede ser arrancada de suraíz, la herencia de la fe de los apóstoles y expresada en el Catecismo de laIglesia Católica.
Dicho esto voy a callar Ud. son ahora responsables y no me Deben preguntar a mí lo que es correcto o no ya lo saben.
Si nos agarramos de María y rezamos el rosario no debemos temer nada.

J.M. Jourdan
Freemason
In his 1908 book, Ecumenism, it states: “The goal is no longer the destruction of the Church but rather to make use of it by infiltrating it.” Bishop Graber, “Saint Athanasius”, pp. 64-65.
On April 3, 1844, a leader of an Italian secret society called Nubius wrote a letter to another highly-placed mason.
The letter spoke about the plan to infiltrate the Roman Catholic Church, and the attempt to insert a Masonic pope, who would promote the religion of Freemasonry from the Chair of Peter. "Now then, in order to ensure a pope in the required proportions, we must first of all prepare a generation worthy of the kingdom of which we dream . . . Let the clergy move forward under your banner (the Masonic banner) always believing they are advancing under the banner of the Apostolic Keys. Cast your net like Simon Bar Jonas, spread it to the bottom of sacristies, seminaries, and convents. You will have finished a revolution dressed in the Pope's triple crown and cape, carrying the cross and the flag, a revolution that will need only a small stimulus to set fire to the four corners of the earth."

Nunca ha habido un momento en que prácticamente en todos los niveles de la Iglesia, la apostasía es fomentada, protegida, permitida, y ni siquiera condenada. Todo esto significa una cosa para mí: Esto no significa el final de la Iglesia; significa el final de la estructura de la Iglesia tal como la conocemos.

@Germen:
It is true that "temperance" is used in our days/Church to condone sin. However, according to CCC 1809 "temperance" is something else:
Temperance is the moral virtue that:
1. moderates the attraction of pleasures
2. provides balance in the use of created goods.
