"A leading gαy Catholic campaigner claims that the Cardinal had to obtain the backing of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome, the most powerful of the Vatican's departments, before taking his sensitive decision.

Mark Dowd, the chairman of Quest, a liberal group, said that the statement issued by the Cardinal was repeatedly rejected before gaining final approval. "
The above about Cardinal Corman Murphy O'Connors gαy messes and blessing he will now hold.

Now,I suppose that we are suppose to think that Benedict is no longer aware of what the Congregaton for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome is up to?
And, it is perfectly alright for him to accept in his very hands"
During the audience, Metropolitan Damaskinos handed the Pope the foundation's first achievement: the joint edition, in their original languages and according to chronological order, of the sacred books of the three monotheist religions: the Torah, the Bible and the Koran.

"The rereading and, for some, the discovery of the texts that are sacred for so many people in the world oblige us to mutual respect, in confident dialogue," explained the Holy Father in his address delivered in French"
And we are supposed to believe that he never knew that we are not supposed to read the Torah or Koran for finding deep and mutual respect.And that he never heard that we do not believe in the same God.
We are supposed to believe that Benedict XVI, as everyone says all the time a HIGHLY educated man never heard of "Notre Charge Apostolique" written by St. Pope Pius X, stating that "We feear that worse is to come: the end result of this developing promiscuousness, the beneficiary of this cosmopolitan social action, can only be a Democracy which will be neither Catholic, nor Protestant, nor Jєωis. It will be a religion (for Sillonism,so the leaders have said, is a religion) more universal that the Catholic Church, uniting all men to become brothers and comrades at last in the "Kingdom of God."
We are supposed to believe that this Highly educated man is not aware that words have meanings and that the words he used about razing the bastions of the Church and the spirit of 1789 references to the evil, bloody anti-Catholic, anti-Monarchy French revoution were just coincidence. But, then how about his anti-Syllabus words.
Nope, as far as I can see to not be Formal Heretic would be not to know these teachings of the Church and I am sorry, I do nt believe that Bendict has never heard of these teachings. I do believe that he is well aware of just exactly what he does and says. And, further if he is unaware then he must be insane. Either way a heretic or someone insane can not be Pope.

Prayers alway dear friend. Thanks for letting me know that I made sense. One would have to know what one is countering. Their lies the formal heresy.

Campy, I do not believe anyone has told anyone else to do anything.  However, our intellects are made to know and adhere to the truth - natural and supernatural.  Once any truth is seen and grasped, we must adhere to it and act accordingly.  If it is plain a man knows the teachings of Holy Church, and that he publicly and repeatedly contradicts them, there is clearly a serious problem - with serious consequences.  If he happens to be, or purports to be, an office-holding cleric, Holy Church has told us what follows.
