Cardinal Kasper falsifies quotes of the Fathers

In his recent attempt to justify communion for adulterers Cardinal Kasper tampered with quotes from Church Fathers according to the patristic scholar John Rist in the "Catholic Herald". Kasper quoted, for example, Origen who mentions bishops who allow adulterers to receive communion. But he withheld that Origen states at least three times that this practice contradicts the Bible. Three other quotes from Basil, Gregory and Augustine mentioned by Kasper show that bigamy existed in the Old Church but not that the Church agreed with it. Kasper's citation of the Council of Nicea was also manipulated. The Council does not speak of adulterers but of legitimate second marriages after the death of one spouse.

Walter Kasper is using a common liberal ploy. He takes a text from the Fathers or Councils, then takes it out of context so it seems to confirm his ideology.
There is a simple rule with Patristics: If there is agreement among the principle four Western and four Eastern Fathers, then it can be taken as doctrine.
West: Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Gregory
East: Basil, Athanasius, Chrysostom, Gregory …More

What about this quote I am still waiting for somebody explain me the origin of this quote that is coming from Francis himself

You can find the quote in this Vatican news web page at the end

www.news.va/…/pope-silence-gu…

“The Gospel does not tell us anything: if she spoke a word or not… She was silent, but in her heart, how many things told the Lord! ‘You, that day, this and the other that we read, you had told me that he would be great, you had told me that you would have given him the throne of David, his forefather, that he would have reigned forever and now I see him there!’ Our Lady was human! And perhaps she even had the desire to say: ‘Lies! I was deceived!’ John Paul II would say this, speaking about Our Lady in that moment. But she, with her silence, hid the mystery that she did not understand and with this silence allowed for this mystery to grow and blossom in hope.”
