🚨BREAKING NEWS | Pope Francis recovers the title “Patriarch of the West” as an ecumenical gesture

@@johnflorio3576 Sure he cut the Eastern Catholic Churches loose because they were too much trouble for him as they rebelled against having to have freestanding altars. So it's no loss to him to renounce universal jurisdiction which btw comes at a price in that he committed apostasy and heresy by renouncing one of the most foundational dogmas of the Roman Church: Papal Supremacy. From this day on, the Catholic Church is no more(33-2024 RIP). However, the remnants of the Catholic Faith(which is the Catholic Church esp. now) continue to thrive in sedevacantist traditionalist independent Catholic parishes around the globe that are not affiliated with Francis.

[@igorlopes7589]

@@Montfortracing Nope, the liturgical reform was an impoverishment of the liturgy, taking away many parts of its beautiful heritage. And Pope Francis has a clear history of refusing to condemn heresy openly, he allows the ex president that approved abortion in his nation to friendly visit the vatican, he created the whole Amoris Leatitia bogaloo by not being clear from the start that the couple should have a commitement to absolute continence. He created the current problem with Fiducia by not saying with all words that the couple needs to intend to stop their romantic relationship and immoral sexual acts. And let us not forget his letter to Cdl Fernandez saying the DDF shouldn't be condemnative.

[@satvrne]

Good comment. The return of this title is a very good sign. God bless.

[@igorlopes7589]

@@Montfortracing No, the liturgical reform was an improverishment of the liturgy, not an enrichment. The liturgical patrimony of the Roman Rite was thrown into the dustbin of eclesiatical history. Canon, offertory, prayers at the foot of the altar, last gospel, gradual, many parts of the Roman Rite were simply thrown away and replaced, or at best sidelined

[@igorlopes7589]

@@Montfortracing And His Holiness is deliberately ambiguous, he refuses to use condemnative language and that becomes clear above all in his letter to Cdl Fernandez about the DDF, and more explicitly so in Fernandez answer to that. Many scandals happened because he refuses to simply speak harshly against the enemies of the Church, in Amoris he wasn't clear in the document itself a commitement to absolute continence was necessary for the couples to receive the sacranents. In Fiducia he didn't explicitly command an end to the romantic relationships. There is a clear aversion to an intellectually clear and rigid theology in this Pontificate, and it has damaged millions of souls.

The only way the Catholic and Orthodox churches can reunite is if the Pope’s fully and completely cease claiming authority as the highest patriarch or primus inter pares of all the bishops and patriarchs of Christendom. These steps, of claiming to be the Bishop of Rome and Patriarch of the West, are promising. The Orthodox Church, however, will never sublimate itself to Rome’s authority. The Bishop of Rome would be one of the many bishops and patriarchs of the Church, all of whom would have a voice in the ecumenical councils. I think we need another Ecumenical Council, bringing in the Catholic and Orthodox and Syrian and other branches to finalize the remerger of our denominations.

[@hmvollbanane1259]

That's impossible as it would be in direct contradiction to church dogmas: 143. Christ appointed the Apostle Peter to be the first of all the Apostles and to be the visible head of the whole Church, by appointing him immediately and personally to the primacy of jurisdiction. 144. According to Christ’s ordinance, Peter is to have successors in his Primacy over the whole Church and for all time. 145. The successors of Peter in the Primacy are the bishops of Rome. 146.

I have felt for years that he was ging this way, reducing the supremacy of the See of Peter and that will be a good thing. Peter's seat was traditional the tie-breaker and last word, not the monarchy that western Catholics (and I am one, proudly LatinRite) madde it into. The Pope can still be the first among equals without assuming all the extras that we have added through the years,. In this I think the Eastern Church has some true points. He is doing this not so uch to appease the Easterners as to set affairs right FIRST in the church of his birth, then the Orthodox might pay attention. They need the Western churches evangelical zeal and organised and extensive social action for the gospel, we need the deep spiritaul development, reverence and readiness for martyrdom that they have developed since the break. God bring us home together.

@@gunsgalore7571 there’s a middle ground between becoming schismatic and denying the definition of Papal Infallibility and maintaining the same insularity of the 18th/19th cent church reeling from the loss of the Papal States. That middle ground in practice is the conciliarity of VII and the regular episcopal synods held since and the synodality of Francis.
