francis for the win

[rampart]

the greatest pope since peter nails american "conservatives."

"ROME (AP) — Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.....

I want to remind these people that backwardness is useless, and they must understand that there’s a correct evolution in the understanding of questions of faith and morals,” that allows for doctrine to progress and consolidate over time."

he is talking about the bishops, i'm sure, but their fallacy, like all conservatives, is attachment to words (call it "original intent") without context or understanding. `

The Left says that the US Constitution is a living breathing document that is evolving into whatever the hell they want it to say because they are stuck with it..

I think the Pope is saying the same thing about the Bible.

I used to believe a mule couldn't talk.

 

[Polishprince]

I don't think this is in the right forum. Francis was talking about religious conservatives, who are objecting to the pope's decisions to change the doctrines of the Catholic Church.

Not politics, although the pontiff is a hardcore ultraliberal that isn't what he was chatting about here.

Even worse, he's saying it about Catholic Doctrine.

You are right, you do not think.

Yes, please ignore my comments, which are written for those with common sense

i think you got it there, votto. conservatives are stuck on "original intent," difficult enough in english.

the pope might be fairly familiar with the bible, probably more than either of us and a megachurch full of televangelists.

Lucifer knows the Bible better than pretty much everyone, including the Pope

Funny that.

Funny that.

the assertion that "the devil quotes the bible for his own purpose" is quite true, pointing directly at the error of "originalism."

I agree with the Pope somewhat. After all, at one time some popes and saints owned slaves.

Besides the Catholics, back in the 1880s there were anti-toilet pastors who didn't want to have indoor plumbing inside the church based on their reading of Deuteronomy 23:12-14.

The Catholic church was the first to introduce Jewish Ghettos as well, something the Nazi party also adopted later on.

In fact, the anti-Semitism of the Catholic church caused centuries of Jewish persecution.

The Holocaust was merely a natural climax to it all.

Even worse, he's saying it about Catholic Doctrine.

The Pope has no authority to change Catholic Doctrine. He can change moral teachings.

That's probably under dispute in the Vatican right now.

I'm pretty sure he can do whatever he wants

At least, it appears that way.

Large Doctrinal changes require a Vatican Council usually, but who know with the current lefty pope?

Argentina is not an extreme socialist country.

The Bible is a book of fairy tales, so it's certainly subject to interpretation.
