That's a good look for him, it covers up his modernist smirk.

I think that's not the first time he turns into a KKK member.

Yet another example of "charity" from "those who know".
   

Jude 1:8

"In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty. "

Yeah, this was from a "Pope" who said, "I believe in God, not in a Catholic God.”  This is, perhaps, the most uncharitable comment that any Roman Pontiff has made about the omnipotent One and Triune God, who is very much Catholic!

Whatever imprudences Pope Francis commits, he is still the Pope.

And has God given a licence to mock others?


Jude 1:9

"When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee."


   

Proverbs 3:32

"For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord."



Leave it to God!


"Even if that vicar were a devil incarnate, I must not defy him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom... He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope; we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope." (St Catherine of Siena - Letter to Bernabo Visconti)


"Divine obedience never prevents us from obedience to the Holy Father: nay, the more perfect the one, the more perfect is the other. And we ought always to be subject to his commands and obedient unto death. However indiscreet obedience to him might seem, and however it should deprive us of mental peace and consolation, we ought to obey; and I consider that to do the opposite is a great imperfection, and deceit of the devil." (Letter to Brother Antonio of Nizza).

To Roscoe:


Your position is contrary to doctrine


Vatican 1: session 4 (1870)

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole church; or that the Roman pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy:
let him be anathema




Private declaration and deposition of a Pope prohibited by Our Lord:


Matthew 18:15-17

""But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.  And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican."


Matthew 23:1-3

"Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,  Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not."

"St. Jerome - in saying that a heretic departs on his own from the Body of Christ - does not preclude the Church's judgment, especially in so grave a matter as is the deposition of a pope. He refers instead to the nature of that crime, which is such as to cut someone off from the Church on its own and without other censure in addition to it - yet only so long as it should be declared by the Church... So long as he has not become declared to us juridically as an infidel or heretic, be he ever so manifestly heretical according to private judgment, he remains as far as we are concerned a member of the Church and consequently its head. Judgment is required by the Church. It is only then that he ceases to be Pope as far as we are concerned" (Spanish theologian - John of St. Thomas).



"He left you this sweet key of obedience; for as you know He left His vicar, the Christ, on earth, whom you are all obliged to obey until death, and whoever is outside His obedience is in a state of damnation, as I have already told you in another place." (God the Father - Dialogues; Treatise on Obedience)

See my post on the excommunication of Pope Honorius:

http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/The-excommunication-of-Pope-Honorius-I

Are you claiming that if Francis would deny the bodily Assumption of Mary into Heaven, stating that such was only "allegorical" and not a real, historical event, why would be obliged to "obey" him?

Andy Sloan,

It is more than imprudence when a Pope declares that there is no Catholic God,
and atheists can go to heaven.

Pope Honorius  was posthumously anathematized with the Monothelites at the Third Council of Constantinople.

But, first of all, by who was he anathematized by? A legitimate Church body in accordance with Matthew 18:15-17

Despite his heresy, did Pope Honorius define any dogmatic error? No! Because God preserves the Church (see above post).


But Pope Honorius was still a valid Pope, because he was not anathematized/deposed during his reign.

"St. Jerome - in saying that a heretic departs on his own from the Body of Christ - does not preclude the Church's judgment, especially in so grave a matter as is the deposition of a pope. He refers instead to the nature of that crime, which is such as to cut someone off from the Church on its own and without other censure in addition to it - yet only so long as it should be declared by the Church... So long as he has not become declared to us juridically as an infidel or heretic, be he ever so manifestly heretical according to private judgment, he remains as far as we are concerned a member of the Church and consequently its head. Judgment is required by the Church. It is only then that he ceases to be Pope as far as we are concerned" (John of St. Thomas).


Hence we submit to Pope Francis as holder of the keys, whilst ignoring any errors.
