Are We Too Disrespectful of Pope Francis? w/ Fr. Gerald Murray

[@blackwaterjim]

I have great respect for the office of the Pope. And I pray for him. But I do not consider it disrespectful to question his motives and recent actions in light of Catholic tradition.

[@chissstardestroyer]

I for one am right to forever have no respect for any offices at all, for any office-holder is mere subhuman vermin for having a majestic office to begin with!

[@chissstardestroyer]

It is always right for us as the laity to condemn God's agents merely for having been given offices by Him, and thus having been made into subhuman vermin for having any authority from any source aside from the *consent of the governed alone*, anything else as a source of authority does not exist, and never ever has, and certainly never ever will. Any other claims are heretical in and of themselves. So yes, biblical tradition is to be condemned, and only if we condemn anything from eternity will we have any hope of salvation from idolatry; and the inevitable fruit of listening to God's vicars is idolatry; as the holy spirit has proven through the current pope, as well as Him endorsing baby-murder through unacceptable "medicines" made by murdering babies. Nobody can ever in good conscience ever listen to anything that comes out of any mouthpiece of God due to that alone.

@@Victor-co2xj Paul did. Not for his teaching to the Church, because Peter was spotless in this regard. But for his attitude, which conveyed a bad message. Galatians 2, 11-13

[@Victor-co2xj]

​@@derechoplano That's a very good point. Paul's rebuke of Peter didn't concern his magisterium, but his behavior. The Successors of Peter might fail in their personal conduct and can be resisted in that situation, but they are always safe to follow in their papal magisterium and so must be obeyed in that context. In other words, nobody who accepts Francis as a legitimate pope can hold him accountable for his teaching to the Church. Instead, such a person must give submission of his mind and heart to the teachings of Francis. St. Bellarmine explained: "Who will judge whether the Pope has taught rightly or not? For it is not for the sheep to judge whether the shepherd wanders off, not even and especially in those matters which are truly doubtful. Nor do Christian sheep have any greater judge or teacher to whom they might have recourse. As we showed above, from the whole Church one can appeal to the Pope yet, from him no one is able to appeal; therefore necessarily the whole Church will err if the Pontiff would err."

When bad shepherds lead people astray they need to be called out. Pope Francis has caused grave scandal on multiple occasions, he has taught error on multiple occasions, he has done many things that beg for correction. Some people just put a filter on it and refuse to report anything that doesn't jive with Catholic principals - which would be fine if we existed in a world of strictly limited information and great Catholic education. We don't though. I remember my parents struggling mightily to explain away our pastor's blatant heresy with, "Father didn't mean to say..." and then stating the traditional Catholic teaching. Of my 5 siblings I am the only one who still goes to Mass. You cannot preserve the Faith by smoothing over heresy and making excuses when authority figures teach error, because the end result looks like either the house is divided against itself and is _not_ protected from error as claimed, or religion is _all_ bullsh*t which is the conclusion my siblings drew.

They've been treating their office no differently than a businessman would treat his, only worse. They tremble over public relations and gloss over eternal realities. God will strip His Church of every public (secular) praise and bring Her to the Garden of Olives to sweat blood with Him in His agony. There She will be betrayed, as He was, by one close to Her, bound and brought to worldly judgement. She will be scourged with Him, crowned with thorns as He was, bound to Her cross and forced to follow His steps to Calvary. There She will be crucified as Her Spouse was, but after the world declarers Her dead, God will raise Her up again. God Himself will save His bride. As JPII used to say, "Be not afraid!"

"After His glorious Ascension into Heaven this Church rested not on Him alone [Christ], but on Peter, too, its visible foundation stone. That Christ and His Vicar constitute one only Head is the solemn teaching of Our predecessor of immortal memory Boniface VIII in the Apostolic Letter Unam Sanctam; and his successors have never ceased to repeat the same. They, therefore, walk in the path of dangerous error who believe that they can accept Christ as the Head of the Church, while not adhering loyally to His Vicar on earth."

The church needs a leader, and leaders deserve leeway, or else we all fall into the falsehood of the protestants who are a ship without a rudder. But the False Prophet will come from the church, mark my words. And he will most likely be a Pope. As the church (us), we are to always be on guard to avoid falling for the False Prophet. A Pope that needs correction ought to be thankful to receive it. If not, then I submit that he may be the False Prophet.

​@@jwilsonhandmadeknives2760 The teachings of a true pope can never contradict Scripture, Tradition, and previous Magisterium; it is a divine guarantee.

At the same time, Peter was safe to follow in his teaching, and Paul submitted to him on it (Acts 15). The false prophet cannot be a pope because the papacy is protected by Christ, but we have been warned that the false prophet can disguise himself as a false pope.

During the interregnum 'that wicked one shall be revealed' in his fury against the Church. It is a matter of history that the most disastrous periods for the Church were times when the Papal throne was vacant, or when anti-popes contended with the legitimate head of the Church. Thus also shall it be in those evil days to come." (Rev. E. Sylvester Berry, The Apocalypse of St. John [Columbus, OH: John W. Winterich, 1921].)

Thanks for the talk Matt. The Lord through His Holy Spirit has been forming me more on this topic. When I say this, believe me, I’ve not been a fan of this Pontificate. So the Lord has pointed out to me to pray very much for him. He has also asked me who ultimately benefits from the criticism of the Pope (I’m not talking about constructive criticism) I mean the kind where he so drives me crazy that I can’t stand the man and what he seemingly gets away with. So, when I have this mind set, will I pray for him? Probably not. So again, who ultimately benefits from us not praying for the Pope……the evil one, perhaps? And our prideful vices grow stronger. He delights when we pick at and complain about the Pope or each other because he loves division. Again, I’m not talking about constructive criticism. The Pope is made in the image and likeness of God, true? So when we don’t pray for him, the evil likes that even more and his cause is furthered by our lack of prayer. The evil one aids us in the slightest vice. Remember our Lord wants the salvation of all and told us to pray for one another. That even means the people we don’t like♥️🙏🕊

What happens is that when atrocities don’t matter, you will get more and more of them. Most people are not in the role of the victim so Bingo solves everything. Meanwhile some child has gone and committed suicide while you have cheered on the perpetrators and have declared that this is the One True Church. I made an understatement. The numbers of ruined lives are not just one, they are many, but bring on those communion wafers!!! Really? At what cost to the innocents? If there was real power there, could not those children abused by priests be healed, would that not be more worthy than turning communion wafers into the body of Jesus. It is that we experience the Lord made real to us, it is spirit and truth. But let the children be healed!!! Sho much Showboating! It is Jesus who is the ONE TRUE SAVIOR, not the popes! You have traded the real God for the little one with all his warts and gross sins and won’t let your feet do the talking as they find the door and start walking. Jesus, He is the One Pearl of Great Price. And with Him, are their the manacles of the Inquisition, the Iron Maiden or the Rack? The Catholic Church has rivaled Islam for their gross cruelty. Is this what Jesus called the church to? And the Reformation was wrong, like we needed more people burned and their babied thrown to them in the fire??? It is not a pretty picture. It is like this, if you have rotten food which will send you to the ER you find in your fridge, no matter how much good food you dump into that rot, will you make it healthy again? It is our God and our Lord Jesus Christ who is Eternally Pure. But we were told and ignored the fact, that if one even reads the book of Revelation, all these corruptions were predicted and what is the prescription is “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her plagues.” Is there another prime directive? I don’t find it. Why would God be so mean as to put on your heads when you don’t come out, the plagues assigned to the wanton Scarlet Woman who rides the Beast to those who are in awe and despite whatever corruption, the murder of children, or the rapes thereof, or the enslavement of the victims of rape, or nuns used in their convents as brothels and given abortions, I will tell you, the nuns were as much victims as the children were. Then there is the sale of children who Catholic hospital told the mothers that their babies were born dead. No, they went up for Catholic adoption with rich donors. How is this alright? This is what one should trust in, we trust in the Lord with all our hearts as men are imperfect and we look to the ONE who is the author and perfected of our faith. No man in a petticoat. The true King of Kings did not have a home to rest his head in, he was an itinerant preacher and slept under the stars. He did not have a many jeweled crown nor did he sell indulgences. One can worship the institution itself which brought you celibacy which is not achievable by many men. It isn’t the holiness of the priest we face, it is our High Priest, Christ Jesus. Pope Francis was brought in as a clean-up squad for the previous pope, as Pope Benedict was too overwhelmed and did not cause the corruption. I think he was and is actually a good man. But a compromised one. If one can put up with the corruption, go down and look into the eyes of a child whose innocence has been stolen and explain why you can support that system where they are but a statistic and there will be many many more as the crime of being a Reformer is infinitely more unforgivable. Keep telling yourself that!!! Come back to and trust in Jesus as He is the only ONE who will not disappoint.

The salt of the papacy losing its flavor is a plain impossibility given the solemn promise of Christ. The Church tells us that we have to follow the pope, not that we first have to verify whether the pope is doing his job well before we can grant him our submission. That's the whole point of the authority of the Roman Pontiff.

[@batboy49]

@@Victor-co2xj That statement will require proof. Here is the issue, Paul "resisted Peter to his face" which is the model for what I am saying. Even Peter required correction. And from the biblical text it strains credibility to call his resistance "respectful". Each pope used to promise to "retain the tradition of his forbears" and that is the very nature of his office. In some sense each Pope is "outranked" by his forbear in office. When a current pope refutes a prior pope in his teaching (talking about faith and morals as it is possible discipline can change) his forebear is correct FULL STOP. Pope Francis has activively promoted heresy and bad morals. We have NO CHOICE to resist him on these...TO HIS FACE. When you resist someone TO HIS FACE you are NOT respecting him. Respect due to an office is only extended to a person when that person has not disrespected his office. The very nature of the papacy is to preserve doctrine and tradition. When he fails to do that, as Francis has intentionally failed to do, then he has "lost his savor". Keep in mind that salt CANNOT lose its flavor, it is quite literally impossible. What Jesus was talking about is clear. He is talking about when what ought to be impossible does occur (salt losing its savor) the thing has lost its value. The Papacy is of no use if it cannot do its primary function which is to preserve doctrine. We are only left with two choices here, either a Pope has lost his savor, or he is no pope at all. I would argue a Pope who is not interested in performing his function is ipso facto not a pope at all. The fact that Pope Francis is now a heretic is irrefutable. That he may have become Pope illegally is possible. In any case, if he is not willing to be pope, he cannot inherit the respect his office so richly deserves.

[@Victor-co2xj]

​@@batboy49 "That statement will require proof." Which statement specifically? I could provide abundant proof, but we have to be stewards of our time. Concerning Peter and Paul, the issue of resisting to the face was an issue of behavior, not of doctrine. Paul resisted Peter's venially sinful conduct but obeyed his infallibly safe teaching. Paul was not controlling Peter's ordinary magisterium. Doctors like St. Bellarmine have explained that. And the First Vatican Council taught definitively that the popes have the gift of an unfailing faith. That's why we should always submit to what the pope teaches to the whole Church down to even disciplinary decisions. There is no way for a pope to fail. The only possible explanation is God's permission of evil. He allows a great delusion, a false papacy, to deceive many: it is the man of sin sitting in the temple of God. We have been warned about this a long time ago. A good starting point is 2 Thessalonians chapter 2.

[@SuperZebezian]

I love the Holy Father, insofar as I pray for him and want him to get to Heaven, but I do not like him. Whatever his intentions are, it seems as if he has sown a lot of discord and confusion among Catholics, and (what seems to be) his attack on traditional liturgy has been very alienating.

[@Victor-co2xj]

SuperZebezian, the purpose of the office of the pope is to be the principle of unity of the Church. Because of Christ's promise to protect the papacy, it is impossible for a pope, in the exercise of his magisterium, to sow discord and confusion among Catholics. The destruction that Francis is promoting is the very opposite of what one might expect from a lawful successor of St. Peter. "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be anathema." (Galatians 1:8)

[@ComposerUSA]

Pope Francis is merely a successor of St. Peter, and, Our Lord Jesus Christ scolded Peter himself for doing what Francis is doing: “Jesus turned to Peter and said, 'Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.'” (Matthew 16:23)

[@Victor-co2xj]

@Composer, Peter was not the pope when Christ scolded him. He only became the pope after the resurrection. It is always safe to follow the teachings of the successor of St. Peter. Is it safe to follow the teachings of Francis?

2:14 I think the claim that dance doesn't constitute worship is spurious; there are plenty of cultures for whom dance is a normal and accepted part of worship and Catholics in those areas have adapted them into their celebrations of the liturgy. Not only that but when Michal criticizes King David for "dancing before the Lord", God punishes her by making her infertile, which I think makes our Lord's position on the issue clear. That being said, I would agree that interpretative dance is inappropriate in mass for most of us in the West since in practice it is more of "a little show for everyone" than a way of actually worshipping God.

Yes. I have been watching the Pints videos and learned a great deal. I admire the frankness of honesty of the commentators. But... I am horrified at how easily the catholic community is prepared to turn on its own. How easily the phrase "heretic" is employed even in discussion. It seems to me that there has been a fundamental lack of generosity in much of this discourse about Pope Francis. As Jesus said, a house divided against itself cannot stand. Place yourself in the shoes of the man asked to perform this near impossible task, and walk in them even in your mind's eye, or at least try to assimilate the pressures and contradictions he faces every day, then comment with charity.

[@speakerscornerbestbits]

I charitably and respectfully disagree with Fr Gerald at 2:15. We should remember 2 Samuel 6:14-15: And David danced before the LORD with all his might, [...] brought up the Ark of the LORD with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams’ horns." Dancing at Mass is not my cup of tea but if properly dedicated to God it can be a valid form of worship.

[@chissstardestroyer]

None of the speakers who have taken upon themselves to be Pope Francis's judge and jury was there during the 12 days when the Pope was with his faithful in Indonesia, Timor Leste, PNG and Singapore. There was so much love and solidarity. People of all walks of life and faith experienced Christ through the Holy Father. You were not there, and yet you wish to discredit Pope Francis. You and speakers like yourself have no idea of what the cultures and the people in Indonesia, Timor Leste, PNG and Singapore are like and what we are like as Catholics. How respectful we are of each other and how rich our lives are because of it.

I think that is completely shameful considering the respect due to their office. It's one thing to respectfully dissent and criticize, it's another to mock.

Aquinas did not know that the female was an active agent in procreation thus teaching only the inseparability of faith and reason and not their qualitative equality. "with whom you share a union" as in a synod on synodality starts within marriage; that is, within the inseparability and qualitative equality of procreation and union both in male-female marriage in God and in consecrated celibacy marriage in Christ. Colin Clark's reference point, through both advice and example, for successive Popes was simultaneously in 1964 at the Pope's Commission on Population and the UNO Food and Agriculture Organisation of just about paripassu rate of growth of population (insuring union in marriage) and food supplies in the developing countries (ensuring procreation in marriage) as confirmed by a family member of his valid and proper marriage. Pope Francis in his marriage in Christ as a consecrated celibate immediately from his election kept unity with Colin Clark in his marriage in God with my mother coming through Pope St Paul V1’s Encyclical “Of Human Life”, Humanae Vitae, 1968, 12 on aspects of marriage of “inseparable” towards completion of including ‘qualitatively equal’ of union and procreation on or about 10 June 2021 by his authorising simultaneously applications of observation measurement terms for: (a) ensuring procreation in the case of Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others presenting continuing in a Vatican state civil trial on indictments for embezzlement of helper of families' charity donations within the family, (b) insuring union in marriage in the case of the "Zan" anti-homophobia bill then before the Italian Parliament as an unacceptable risk of fraud on this insuring union of family members of valid and proper marriages (defeated in early November 2021).

This is the teaching of ALL the ancient Fathers, who teach that a pope who becomes a heretic automatically falls from his office and loses all jurisdiction." - St. Robert Ballarmine, "De Romano Pontifice", Bk 2 Cap 30.This, therefore, is not an opinion or a theory. It is a doctrine of the Faith because it draws its authority from the unanimous consent of the Fathers. Bergoglio is a manifest and public heretic ("notorious in fact" as per canon law) and he is ,,moreover pertinacious, and so he is an Antipope.
