Ultraliberal Cardinal: “Francis Is Not A Heretic”

Pope Francis “is not a heretic” according to the ultraliberal Curia Cardinal Kevin Farrell, 70. Taking to cruxnow.com on October 2, Farrell attacked the Filial Correction by launching personal attacks against the signatories rather than by responding to their arguments. According to him the signatories “use any excuse just to attack him [Francis].”

In response to the interview, one of the signatories, Deacon Nick Donnelly, states on twitter that Francis “is not accused of being a heretic, but of promulgating heresy”.

During a NCR-interview in 2016, Farrell insinuated that Amoris Laetitia has the same authority as the Bible, “Basically this is the Holy Spirit speaking to us.”

Jungerheld There is no process for correcting a Pope. One can protest but there is no means to punish or depose him. He is a sort of absolute monarch. In the end while we protest and pray we wait for Heaven to intervene. He cannot live forever. We must pray for him and for a better successor.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell like Pope Francis and Pope Benedict interpret Vatican Council II by faking it.They project LG 16 etc as being visible and known when it really refers to an invisible and unknown case. Then they claim that Vatican Council II ( LG 16 being a personally known case of salvation outside the Church) is an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and the Syllabus of Errors.More

This is heresy.They are faking it on Vatican Council II.
For me Vatican Council II is not a rupture with the dogma outside the Church there is no salvation.Since LG 16, UR 3, LG 8 etc refer to invisible and unknown cases in 2017. This is something obvious. Zero cases of something are not exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla agrees the apologist John Martignoni. The present Rector of the University of St.Anselm in Rome, the Italian scientist, Fr. Stefano Visintin osb says the same.
I call this interpretation of Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite) and Cardinal Farrell's interpretation of Vatican Council II( Cushingite).
Vatican Council II(Cushngism) is irrational, non traditional and heretical.It is also magisterial.
I wrote to Cardinal Farrell and to just about every one in his Curia.No one replied.

Those who are promoting magisterial heresy officially now want the SSPX to also rubber stamp Vatican Council II (Cushingite) otherwise they will accuse the SSPX of being in heresy of schism.

@BrTomFordeOFMCap I guess you mean the proper authority hasn't gone through any authoritative process. I guess my response would be, let's get on with it, except with just the right connivance, you could avoid the appearance of holding a belief contrary to the teaching of the Church...forever! If I were to try that, I would proclaim unchanging teaching with a furrowed brow, carry on endlessly about …More
@BrTomFordeOFMCap I guess you mean the proper authority hasn't gone through any authoritative process. I guess my response would be, let's get on with it, except with just the right connivance, you could avoid the appearance of holding a belief contrary to the teaching of the Church...forever! If I were to try that, I would proclaim unchanging teaching with a furrowed brow, carry on endlessly about how it's not about rules, and say the fine details are a matter of pastoral practice, all the while ignoring my sheep bleating ever louder about confusion and moral decay while I chastise them for contributing to disunity and not following the Spirit clearly blowing. To top it off, I'd throw in comments about how it's best not to ask too much of people implying Jesus couldn't possibly have actually said or meant, "Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect" and that the Holy Spirit blowing is not supernaturally accomplishing that perfection this very day in those who believe. (Hint: The Spirit does not "blow" leaving devastation everywhere in its path like a tornado or a hurricane.)

Jungerheld the authors of the Filial Correction explicitly say they are not accusing the Holy Father of heresy but of allowing by words, deeds, inaction etc., to allow heresy to be taught and spread unchallenged. Whether someone is a heretic, of course, is the decision of the proper authority but what does one do when the highest authority's orthdoxy is in doubt. One can be lacking in orthodoxy (…More
Jungerheld the authors of the Filial Correction explicitly say they are not accusing the Holy Father of heresy but of allowing by words, deeds, inaction etc., to allow heresy to be taught and spread unchallenged. Whether someone is a heretic, of course, is the decision of the proper authority but what does one do when the highest authority's orthdoxy is in doubt. One can be lacking in orthodoxy (e.g. have a poor understanding or expression of the Church's teaching) and yet not be a heretic. It is my understanding that to be a heretic under Canon Law one must obstinately persist in holding a belief contrary to the teaching of the Church. The Holy Father does not fall into this category (yet).

This seems to be the point everyone is emphasizing: Are the signatories of the Filial Correction accusing Pope Francis of being a heretic or promulgating heresy?

Amoris Laetitia is not divine, not even thomist, but maybe jesuitical.
