It's the consequence of writing this in between contract revisions Tom Send a noteboard - 18/12/2017 02:52:15 PM

The agreement did have a lot of waivers. I'm still trying to get it finalized today because the other side is being unconscionably obnoxious and my clients aren't quite yet willing to say "take it or leave it".

I don't have a problem with his position on divorce, particularly since the Pope could just bring the Western church into conformity with the Eastern church and allow up to 3 marriages due to permitting up to 2 divorces on a "for fault" basis (i.e., none of this no-fault divorce crap that we now have in US law). I don't have a problem with his statements on not denying gays communion, either - that's not the proper role of the Church.

I have serious issues with his fuzzy stance on Liberation Theology, which is squarely at odds with the Church and the Scripture.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Pope Francis must be declared a heretic and burned. Tom - 09/12/2017 03:14:16 AM 1476 Views

Well, God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" a couple of times. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/12/2017 09:22:05 AM 326 Views
That’s a much better song too *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:05:04 PM 404 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 626 Views
Never heard that one. The Trainspotting song “Temptation” is much better (Crowded House sucks) *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:02:37 PM 368 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 388 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 479 Views
Only fire can purify the stain of heresy. *NM* damookster - 10/12/2017 01:21:58 AM 418 Views
We have to burn you for blasphemy by comparing Francis to Christ Tom - 10/12/2017 02:04:04 PM 519 Views
I just find this deeply ironic that is all *NM* Roland00 - 10/12/2017 08:35:26 PM 359 Views
I'll search for an Italian transcript later, but... Larry - 10/12/2017 03:10:06 PM 722 Views
It's not subjunctive per se. It's a negative imperative, damnit. Tom - 11/12/2017 02:11:53 AM 538 Views
I hadn't seen this post before I posted... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 04:46:07 AM 530 Views

It's because it's *not* a translation issue, and Francis is deceiving the faithful. Tom - 11/12/2017 05:46:27 AM 501 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 626 Views
Incidentally, the numbers showed up accurately in my response while quoting, so who knows? *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:12:44 AM 381 Views
For the record, I'm not saying you're wrong... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:11:59 AM 525 Views
You know, now that I think about it, Job isn't a good reference. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:21:13 AM 637 Views
Tom is correct, but let me make the argument that the Pope is right Roland00 - 11/12/2017 08:49:35 PM 833 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 517 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 559 Views

The vicar of Christ doesn't get to change the words of Christ. damookster - 11/12/2017 08:12:22 AM 616 Views
Fair enough. *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 05:44:46 PM 327 Views
but he is infallible ???? random thoughts - 11/12/2017 09:22:02 PM 541 Views
The Pope is only infallible in certain situations. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 10:40:28 PM 542 Views

Yes, and thankfully he wasn't making a proclamation ex cathedra. Tom - 12/12/2017 01:09:25 AM 529 Views
I mean...I love me some theology... Jeordam - 11/12/2017 10:56:34 PM 606 Views
The problem is that I don't think he was thinking at all Tom - 13/12/2017 06:22:14 PM 484 Views
No arguments here Cannoli - 12/12/2017 03:51:59 PM 556 Views
Well, I needed to at least mention the Orthodoxy-Catholicism split Tom - 12/12/2017 05:01:54 PM 615 Views
Can't you just depose him. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 05:49:59 PM 500 Views
I could, but where's the fun in that? Tom - 13/12/2017 06:20:18 PM 595 Views
Because he would have to live with being deposed. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 07:05:35 PM 509 Views

How about we just send him to Avignon. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 11:31:25 PM 540 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 567 Views
Schrodinger's Pope(s)? *NM* Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:01:35 PM 310 Views
That would be fun. No one would know if he's alive or dead. *NM* Tom - 16/12/2017 03:50:13 AM 301 Views
Waive endlessly? Larry - 18/12/2017 03:06:39 AM 682 Views
