No arguments here Cannoli Send a noteboard - 12/12/2017 03:51:59 PM

I say this not because he, like the popes before him, in his arrogance and presumption has forsaken his rightful place as primus inter pares among the leaders of the Church and usurped the authority that can only belong to duly assembled Ecumenical Councils.

Except for that bullshit.
I say this not even because he has espoused heretical opinions in the past, most notably flirting with the anti-Christian doctrine of Liberation Theology. Now he seeks to alter the very words of Christ Himself.

Absolutely everything about him has always smacked of arrogance to me, combined with very little in the way of insight or legitimate command of theology to justify his positions or differences with tradition. He's unfortunately not the first person I have encountered with that nonsensical issue with the wording, but the point remains that they are the words of Christ Himself, as He directed us to pray. Our Lord was led into the wilderness by the Holy Ghost to be tempted, so it's not like God doesn't do that, either.

Pope Francis must be declared a heretic and burned. Tom - 09/12/2017 03:14:16 AM 1485 Views
Oooh, theodicy. Legolas - 09/12/2017 03:28:21 AM 636 Views
Well, God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" a couple of times. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/12/2017 09:22:05 AM 331 Views
That’s a much better song too *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:05:04 PM 411 Views
That was just so he could murder all their sons and prove he is awesome. random thoughts - 11/12/2017 09:24:16 PM 635 Views
Never heard that one. The Trainspotting song “Temptation” is much better (Crowded House sucks) *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:02:37 PM 372 Views
Auto-da-fé, what's an auto-da-fé? It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway! *NM* Roland00 - 09/12/2017 03:55:47 AM 392 Views
Revelation 22:18, 19 damookster - 09/12/2017 07:02:55 PM 547 Views
Does it have to be fire? I do not like the smell of burnt human flesh. Is it okay with the council Roland00 - 09/12/2017 11:55:31 PM 491 Views
Only fire can purify the stain of heresy. *NM* damookster - 10/12/2017 01:21:58 AM 423 Views
We have to burn you for blasphemy by comparing Francis to Christ Tom - 10/12/2017 02:04:04 PM 529 Views
I just find this deeply ironic that is all *NM* Roland00 - 10/12/2017 08:35:26 PM 365 Views
I'll search for an Italian transcript later, but... Larry - 10/12/2017 03:10:06 PM 732 Views
It's not subjunctive per se. It's a negative imperative, damnit. Tom - 11/12/2017 02:11:53 AM 548 Views
I hadn't seen this post before I posted... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 04:46:07 AM 538 Views
It's been 23 years since my last Latin class Larry - 11/12/2017 04:48:54 AM 674 Views
My mother and a family friend priest drove by today... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 04:38:49 AM 548 Views
It's because it's *not* a translation issue, and Francis is deceiving the faithful. Tom - 11/12/2017 05:46:27 AM 514 Views
And what the fuck is wrong with this website? I didn't indent numbers and I used 1, 2, 3, 4 Tom - 11/12/2017 05:47:42 AM 635 Views
Incidentally, the numbers showed up accurately in my response while quoting, so who knows? *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:12:44 AM 386 Views
For the record, I'm not saying you're wrong... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:11:59 AM 538 Views
You know, now that I think about it, Job isn't a good reference. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:21:13 AM 645 Views
Tom is correct, but let me make the argument that the Pope is right Roland00 - 11/12/2017 08:49:35 PM 841 Views
If it is not a translation problem (and it isn't), then the Pope is changing the words of Christ Tom - 12/12/2017 03:43:50 PM 528 Views
I've read that "heresy" comes from words meaning 'to cut' or else to 'seize or take away' Cannoli - 12/12/2017 03:56:19 PM 568 Views
Re: If it is not a translation problem (and it isn't), then the Pope is changing the words of Christ TyrReborn - 12/12/2017 06:24:58 PM 559 Views
The vicar of Christ doesn't get to change the words of Christ. damookster - 11/12/2017 08:12:22 AM 629 Views
Fair enough. *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 05:44:46 PM 330 Views
but he is infallible ???? random thoughts - 11/12/2017 09:22:02 PM 549 Views
The Pope is only infallible in certain situations. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 10:40:28 PM 553 Views
Link not working for you? *NM* random thoughts - 12/12/2017 12:44:23 AM 370 Views
Yes, and thankfully he wasn't making a proclamation ex cathedra. Tom - 12/12/2017 01:09:25 AM 543 Views
I mean...I love me some theology... Jeordam - 11/12/2017 10:56:34 PM 616 Views
The problem is that I don't think he was thinking at all Tom - 13/12/2017 06:22:14 PM 491 Views
No arguments here Cannoli - 12/12/2017 03:51:59 PM 564 Views
Well, I needed to at least mention the Orthodoxy-Catholicism split Tom - 12/12/2017 05:01:54 PM 625 Views
Can't you just depose him. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 05:49:59 PM 508 Views
I could, but where's the fun in that? Tom - 13/12/2017 06:20:18 PM 605 Views
Because he would have to live with being deposed. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 07:05:35 PM 517 Views
As Stalin said, Нет человека, нет проблемы Tom - 13/12/2017 09:06:44 PM 530 Views
Like fire / Hellfire / This fire in my skin / This burning / Desire / Is turning me to sin *NM* Roland00 - 13/12/2017 09:21:16 PM 422 Views
How about we just send him to Avignon. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 11:31:25 PM 549 Views
If we send him in a soundproof box so all he can do is waive endlessly, sure! Tom - 14/12/2017 12:32:04 AM 576 Views
Schrodinger's Pope(s)? *NM* Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:01:35 PM 315 Views
That would be fun. No one would know if he's alive or dead. *NM* Tom - 16/12/2017 03:50:13 AM 308 Views
Waive endlessly? Larry - 18/12/2017 03:06:39 AM 693 Views
It's the consequence of writing this in between contract revisions Tom - 18/12/2017 02:52:15 PM 744 Views
I've had that happen before, minus the contract legalese Larry - 20/12/2017 03:43:50 AM 547 Views
music to burn heretics by... damookster - 13/12/2017 10:44:51 PM 666 Views
That is truly obscure Tom - 14/12/2017 12:39:43 AM 520 Views
It could be worse, my favorite 2 christmas albums are Roland00 - 14/12/2017 03:25:38 AM 538 Views
Sounds like your father was a wise man *NM* random thoughts - 14/12/2017 12:54:20 PM 340 Views
