Francis: Communion For Jew, Support for Gay Unions, Gloating About Cardinal Burke

Francis has "never denied communion to anyone," he said during a press conference on his Bratislava-Rome flight.

He remembered a “funny” story when at a Mass in an Argentinean nursing home he gave Communion to a Jewish woman who picked up Communion, he said, without knowing better.

His confused comment, “Those who are not in the community cannot take communion - like this Jewish lady, but the Lord wanted to reward her and without my knowledge - why?”.

Francis remembered “the storm” he raised with Amoris laetitia (2016) about Communion to adulterers, “Heresy, heresy. Thank God there was Cardinal Schönborn, a great [conformist] theologian who clarified things” - he deceived himself.

Then he insisted that there should not be any more excommunications, "Poor people, they are children of God, they are outside temporarily, but they are children of God and they want, and need, our pastoral closeness” - which is not his style of governing.

He again endorsed immoral civil laws that “help those who have - as he put it - "a diverse" sexual orientation,

“If a homosexual couple wants to lead a life together, the State has the possibility to give them safety, stability, inheritance; and not only to homosexuals but to all the people who want to associate.” Such laws are always only a step for introducing homosex pseudo-marriages.

Dishonest Francis engaged in Covid 19 vaccination propaganda by openly gloating about Cardinal Burke: "There are some deniers in the College of Cardinals, and one of them, poor man, has recovered from COVID.... Irony of life."

Why did he not mention Caracas Cardinal Urosa who was vaccinated, became infected and is currently fighting for his life?

On Burke, English Translation on Vatican News has changed claiming that Francis said “antivaxxers”. But Francis clearly says “negazionisti” or “denialists”. Several typos as well. Very odd.

Basically, Bergoglio is a politician (which largely accounts for most of his hypocrisy). He has a specific, self-centred agenda, and he won't let anyone (most of all, Christ Himself) stand in his way of fulfilling his goals (which correlate with those of the world).

He is our pope. Even if it were just another person, that kind of language and attitude does not imitate Our Lord, who forgave even those who put him to death. Also, He taught us to pray, "and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Francis has "never denied communion to anyone,"

It is a Priest's responsibility to make sure to the best of his ability that all participants in the Sacrament of Holy Communion are espoused to Our Lord. As Scripture lets us see.

Each person who attends the Marriage Supper of the Bridegroom HAS to be Married to the Lamb prior to receiving the Spouse in the Wedding Feast Marriage takes place at the Sacrament of Confirmation. Within this ceremony those becoming a member of the RC Church (aka The Bride of Christ) are historically meant to make sure they are viewing it as a Marriage - so they go dressed in Bridal Garments. Incl. the Bridal veil if she is female.

The Marriage Feast
"11‘ And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast, 12 and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless. 13‘Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth; 14 for many are called, and few chosen.’ Matthew 22

I remember watching the conversion story of a former Methodist. She viewed Our Lord's Marriage Supper as being just a wafer. She popped along to the local Catholic Church to experience Holy Communion. She admitted that without having joined the RC Church she stood in the Communion Line and partook of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. After she returned to her pew, she became scared. She suddenly became overwhelmed inside her that she had committed a crime! Receiving the Eucharist was punishing her. She became overwhelmed with sorrow feeling she should not be inside the Church and needed to run out and cry.

She heard Christ's voice inside her in the middle of these emotions He rebuked her saying

"Must you STEAL what I would freely give you?"

She knew that she had committed a terrible crime. She knew that Our Lord freely offers Himself to the Church - but if you are not part of His Bride it is theft to partake of the Eucharist without being Married to Him in the Sacrament of Confirmation.

1Corinthians 11

27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. 30 Therefore are there many inform and weak among you, and many sleep."

The Marriage Supper is BANNED to those who are not Married to Christ.
Why do these mere MEN despise the teachings of Christ? Stop re-evaluating Holy Communion to be something other than the Gospel foretells and explains. The modern era considers Marriage unnecessary, don't be so wicked so that you expect Christ to give Himself in this Sacrament to those who are not Married to Him. Many Priests are guilty of such neglect They do not have any respect for either the purity of Christ or His Divine Statutes regarding who may or may not receive the Marriage Feast.

Lefebvre Logic 101---There's a crisis in The Church because I say there is. The Pope is wrong to tell me I can't to what I want because I say he is. Therefore I can break Church Law because I say the law doesn't apply.

It's an illegitimate use of the proper limits of Papal Authority because I say it's illegitimate and I decide what's proper Papal Authority not the Pope or The Church---.

No, it isn't a straw-man for you, Philosopher, just a very quick summary of months of Abp. Lefebvre's tortured reasoning leading up to his schism.

It's that mentality that led Pope Paul VI to accuse Abp. Lefebvre of acting like an anti-pope.

@Scapular I can certainly understand under the present papacy, why people are asking these questions, however, only the bishops can start an inquisistion in order to bring formal charges of herecy aginst a sitting pontiff, and only they can remove him. Pope Francis says many things that disturb the Catholic soul but herecy is a serious ecclasistical crime that falls under canon law. And, the accused would have to be questioned and given a chance to respond and give their own account on what they mean and understand when they say the things that may or may not fall under herecy. Moreover, the pope could pull rank and not show up, or stall, or delay the process- perhaps even behind the scenes threatening some with excomunication and others a nice bishopric in Siberia. We see how far the Dubia went...no where! There are precedents for miracles, but it is highly unlikely that the Roman Curia is going to accuse Pope Francis of anything other than being awesome at the present time.

We may not like the Pope's loose and ambiguous language, or as St. Paul said, blowing trumpets of an uncertain sound, but no matter how bad personally, or doctrinally, the pope is still the pope, and one can not be Catholic without him. But, take heart b/c even though every dog has its day, the sun sets and fades away, and so too for every Papa malum.

Worse, if I made such a "colloquialism" you'd be tearing into it like a toy poodle on a chewy-treat just to finally score a point for once. :D

"Interesting to note that you evaded the question on what is the nature, essence and limits of papal authority."

I didn't evade it since you raised it rhetoricially.

Furthermore, contrary to your claim of "you do raise an interesting question" --I didn't raise that as a question at all.

Keep your fallacious strawmen "questions" in your own back pasture and don't prop them up in mine.

There's no obligation for me to legitimize each and every one of your rhetorical musings with an answer.

The same goes with bishops. Some bishops have retired and went to live in residency with a SSPX priory and others like Anthanasius Schnieder have written in his recent book Christus Vincit, an entire chapter on why the SSPX are not in schism. In addition, Vigano doesn't think they are either, and yet Crd. Burke, and many others have commented in interviews that in their opinion they are. We could easily go down the rabbit hole of battling Canonists and bishops, but I'm more interested in the question of what the nature of authority in the Church is, and what are its limits?

Cardinals are not The Pope. until one guy convinces his buddies otherwise. :P

"We could easily go down the rabbit hole of battling Canonists and bishops,"

Only if we fall into the mistake of assuming they have equal authority to the Pope. That was Abp. Lefebvre's mistake.

"but I'm more interested in the question of what the nature of authority in the Church is, and what are its limits?"

...as do many in the SSPX, for obvious reasons. Since I'm not part of the SSPX, the Church's authority isn't a constant sore-point for me.

I hope that doesn't sound snarky. It wasn't meant to be. We simply have different priorities.

I can respect that! If you have the time or inclination, there is Fr. Altman's latest talk on legitimate vs illegitimate authority on gloria tv. He includes papal authority as well. I have to give it to the guy he's got some chutzpah. He's not backing down or joining the FSSP or SSPX but remains in the diocese and fighting with his appeal to Rome to be restored as pastor to his former parish.
