Sarah: “I Don't Say A Single Word Against Francis”

In his book about celibacy there is not a single word against Francis, Cardinal Sarah told IlFoglio.it (January 25). “How can one say I oppose Pope Francis?”, he added.

Sarah fights back against “absurd controversies” and “vulgar lies.” He doesn't understand why his person is “constantly covered with slander and humiliation” and denounces the “brutality” of criticism directed against Benedict XVI.

The cardinal knows that married priests would not solve the crisis of vocations, rather abolishing celibacy would open a wound in the Church.

Sarah: “I Don't Say A Single Word Against Francis”
Maybe he'd be hauled before a Tribunal and cast out if you muttered just a few at least. I'll help you with a few if you like to help you make a start.....

Statements like “I Don't Say A Single Word Against Francis” would normally only come from people fully aware that a huge problem exists with “Francis”.
Until the bishops cast out antipope Francis there can be no normality in the Catholic Church.

Define "normality". Because there hasn't been "normality" in the Catholic Church since at least Vatican Council II and all of that happened decades before Francis became Pope.

Since when is it wrong to say something against a Pope who is doing wrong?
We need cardinals to say something against Francis....how upside down thing are...

IN HIS BOOK WITH POPE BENEDICT THEY ARE BOTH EXPOSING BERGOGLIO CLEARLY THANKS CARDINAL SARAH AND OUR POPE BENEDICT XVI
Thors Catholic Hammer
The cardinal does not denounce the completely false pontificate antipope Bergoglio.
He does this in order to protect Pope Benedict xvi who is confined under a form of house arrest in a Vatican Gaol.
Their joint book is a covert attempt to warn the catholic world about the profoundly evil agenda of the antipope and his hired mercenary cuthroats with links to the Freemasons and the Italian Mafia.

All catholics are asked to pray for the well being and safety of beloved Pope Benedict xvi.

"The cardinal does not denounce the completely false pontificate antipope Bergoglio."
So you're accusing Cardinal Sarah of being a liar, correct? Yes or no?
"He does this in order to protect Pope Benedict xvi who is confined under a form of house arrest in a Vatican Gaol."
...no evidence supplied of any "form" of house arrest, except your endless repetition of the claim.More

Circumstantial evidence exists that Pope Benedict’s life is very tightly controlled and monitored by Ganswein and the disgraced lay organisation Communion and Liberation of whom many prominent members face criminal charges.

The whole circus is a charade to convince the world that a fuddy duddy old man is being cared for.
But as soon as this old man opens his mouth on any serious matter that might deviate from the antipopes agenda the Vatican goon squad jump on him.
In addition he was photographed with many unexplained facial bruises.
And finally why would any pope seek the prayers of the faithful that he not flee for fear of the wolves?

Of course to you this is just another “norm” in the Catholic papacy.

To Ultraviolet.
Cardinal Sarah is exercising what he deems to be prudence in protecting Pope Benedict from physical harm
Ultraviolet
Do you understand the difference between yes, and no, Thor?
I didn't ask whether Cardinal Sarah was "exercising prudence" or his motiviation for doing so. A man can exercise prudence by telling the truth or he can do so by lying.
Which is why I am asking if you are accusing Cardinal Sarah of telling a lie. Yes or no?

"Circumstantial evidence exists that Pope Benedict’s life is very tightly controlled and monitored..."

No evidence ever supplied except your endless repetition of the claim about him being "tightly controlled'.

I would hope Pope Emeritus Benedict is "closely monitored". He's in his 90s and his strength is failing.

If he wasn't being "closely monitored", trouble-makers like you would claim he was being neglected and maltreated.

It's also worth remembering the "Communion and Liberation" movement has been a favorite of Benedicts for years.

"of whom many prominent members face criminal charges."

So do many members of the Catholic Church. Your Fallacy Is:
Ultraviolet
Cardinal Sarah speaks the truth. He doesn't say a single word against Pope Francis. He speaks many against Pope Francis' agenda.
Thors Catholic Hammer
More of your irrational self contradictions.
Most normal analysts would deem that when you speak against another persons agenda you also speak against them.
Indeed many would see it as hypocrisy to support an a person who pursues a wrong agenda.
But you obviously see nothing wrong with such a stance.

"Most normal analysts would deem that when you speak against another persons agenda you also speak against them."
Do you have a survey showing what "most normal analysts would deem"? No? Then it's just you inventing support for your nonsense where none exists. For that matter, which "analysts"? Analysts of what?

This is a common tactic of yours, it's a band-wagon fallacy combined with an absence of proof. "Everybody knows..." "Most normal analysts..." "many would see".

Also, that premise you ascribe to "most normal analysts" betrays only your lack of sophistication. In politics especially, people learn to separate the "man" from the "message". Former US presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton go golfing together, even though the former is a Republcian and the latter a Democrat. It is possible to disagree ideologically without getting personal about it.

My own comment, the one that prompted your reply, had a far simpler meaning. I'd like to believe "most normal analysts" can recognize a witty barb even if you can't.

Or at least when you choose not to. As with the standards for heresy and valid papacies elsewhere, you truly embody those "irrational self contradictions" you mentioned.

Consider: just a little while ago on this very post, you were praising Cardinal Sarah for "exercising what he deems to be prudence".

Now of course, when it suits your purpose, you claim just the opposite "many would see it as hypocrisy to support an a person who pursues a wrong agenda."

"But you obviously see nothing wrong with such a stance."


Probably because that isn't the stance Cardinal Sarah is taking. If you're going to take a shot at something I've written, try not to fire blanks. :D
comfort ye
Strangely enough, when I listen to the observations of "most normal analysts" these days, I find myself in a land of innuendo and false assumptions.
