Not sure when I can get a signature here, but if I could have one, it would be this:
To adhere to a false Bishop of Rome is to be out of communion with the Church. —St. Cyprian
poche: a Pope doesn't ask "who am I to judge". Did St. Peter just pat Ananias and Sapphira on the back and say, "Hey, I forgive you, your lying is in the past, who cares? Who am I to judge? Just, go and sin no more!"
Absolutely not! They got FRIED ON THE SPOT. Torched! Same bat time, same bat channel (That is, Frank::St. Peter as Ricca::Ananias/Sapphira; when Ananias/Sapphira's past came to light, the H.S. torched these pagans through Peter on the spot. You might question the historicity of Acts, but we KNOW St. Peter wouldn't have patted Ricca on the back and said, "Eh, it's history; fuggedaboutit!"
And there have been loads of righteous Popes who knew real humility (saying the unpopular but truthful thing to save the few who might hear them); who didn't need to win a popularity contest and at the cost of their earthly lives stood by the Truth and the Holy Catholic Faith.
Is it okay to be gαy? To act on it? To overturn your Holy Orders and practice AN ABOMINATION to the scandal of a whole country? No, that's NOT okay, and if a pope says it's okay, he is not part of the Church and is definitely no head of it.
Frank showed his hand.
