Schneider: Francis Like Luther, Contradicts Church Teaching
Francis said at the August 18 General Audience that he observes God’s Commandments “but not as absolutes, because I know that what justifies me is Jesus Christ”(video here)- as if justification in Christ could happen bypassing the commandments.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider responded on LifeSiteNews.com that Francis’ statement “contradicts the teaching of the Church and is very much a kind of [cheap] sola fide teaching of Martin Luther.”
He quotes the Catechism of the Catholic Church (2072): “The Ten Commandments are fundamentally immutable, and they oblige always and everywhere. No one can dispense from them.”
