St Francis of Assisi & Gaining Plenary Indulgences

According to Johannes Jorgensen, it was St. Francis of Assisi that opened the way for Plenary Indulgences to be granted for more than just making or supporting the Crusades. This change came about in a grace filled meeting of St. Francis with Pope Honorius III who granted him the Portiuncula Indulgence. Now everyone knows that to gain a plenary indulgence the practicing Catholic has to pray for the intention of the Holy Father. Today, there is much concern about the intentions of the Holy Father such that many are tempted to stop trying to gain such indulgences. But can the prayer intention of the Holy Father be whatever he wants it to be? Using an analogy, just as a lawmaker or legislator cannot form a law outside of the boundaries set by the Natural Law and the Divinely revealed Law of God (such a law is called a violence by St. Thomas Aquinas), so too the Pope is limited to certain boundaries in making his intentions. Bishop Louis Morrow, in his Catechism “MY CATHOLIC FAITH”, says the intentions of the Holy Father fall within the following boundaries, stating: “The ‘intentions of the Pope’ usually refer to the welfare of the Church and religion. Unless other stated [i.e., further specified], they include: (a) the exaltation of the Church; (b) the uprooting of heresies; (c) peace among Christian nations; (d) the propagation of the faith; (e) conversion of sinners” (ch. 157, pp. 336-7, 1959 ed).

In 1219, the sultan Malik al-Kamil received St. Francis of Assisi in Damietta and posed to him a question: “Your Lord teaches in the Gospels that you should not return evil for evil nor refuse your mantle to someone who wants to take your tunic. Therefore, you Christians should not invade our lands.” To which the Blessed Francis replied: “I think you have not read the whole Gospel. Elsewhere, indeed, it is said: ‘If you eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you.’ With that Jesus wanted to teach us that when a man has a relative, however beloved he must be, even if he was as dear as the apple of our eyes, if he tempted us to turn away from the faith and love of our God we should be resolved to separate, alienate and eradicate him from us. For all this, Christians act according to justice when they invade your lands and fight you, for you blaspheme the name of Christ and fight to take away from His religion as many as you can. However, if you want to know, confess and worship the Creator and Redeemer of the world, I will love you as myself.’ All those present were taken with admiration by his response (Fonti Francescane, 3rd Section, Altre Testimonianze Francescane, N° 2691, as quoted in Crusade Magazine, May/June 2015, p. 9).

I’m often concerned about praying for the current pope’s intentions. This clears it up. Thanks Father

[@DIDOTV9]

St. Francis pray for us

[@japamalaainala6629]

St Francis pray for me and my family, forgive our sins and save us from all the illnesses and all sorts of problems. Give us good health happiness and peace. Bless us abundantly o lord amen 🙏

[@teenertuna]

St. Francis is not 'francis the sissy', some wussy idolizer of nature but a tough guy who demanded sanctity first of himself then of others. He is not called the Seraphic Father for nothing - very powerful and said to have taken the place of that fallen seraph Lucifer. Great sermon again Father! "The Life and Times of St. Francis of Assisi" is an absorbing biography with many insights and examples for our own lives. The story gives the details of how that first indulgence came about also.

Wasn't Lucifer a Cherub?

The Pope can set out his intentions; priests must be obedient to the Holy Father, who is their leader and ours. We must pray for the souls in purgatory, and offer up our smaall mortifications for the souls.

[@SAINTRAPHAELMARY]

He has to be a true Pope and not a public heritic before he was elected. God have mercy on us all.

[@ChristianSaintSavior]

One has to be very careful, so as not to let others, use the Catholic Faith or Saints of the Catholic Church, for purposes, other than to give Glory to GOD, and to work for the Salvation of sinful human souls. Many people today, try to twist or distort authentic Catholic Teaching, into something along the lines of "Naturalism," "New Age," or "Modernism." Heresies like these, always leave GOD out (or minimize Him), while placing all of the emphasis and glory, on the created world (the environment), animals, other human beings, and non-Catholic/neo-pagan ideas and beliefs.

awesome

[@DanielAlexander07]

[@michaelorsini9695]

Sorry...but isn't this priest undermining the Pope?...In essence he's questioning the Pope's judgment is he not?? By what authority does he do that???

[@the_abandoned_monastery7218]

It’s a product of confusion. Let us pray for those confused.

Papal Indulgences “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” Matthew‬ ‭7:15-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. ( Hosea 4:6). The Apostle Paul sums up the amazing grace and love of God for us when he wrote to the Galatians: “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:21-22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you believe in the Word of God, then believe what the Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans- “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.( Romans 8:15). Your Heavenly Father God would never punish His children whom He redeemed through the sacrifice of His only Son. Psalm 103 states “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:12). This was written during the time that King David lived and was a prophetic message to the world of the loving mercy and the total forgiveness that God purposed for all who believe in His Son Jesus Christ. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (John‬ ‭3:16-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬) This is the Gospel, the power of God unto salvation. (Romans 1:16) “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:20-21‬ ‭KJV)‬‬ “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 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 accursed.” (Galatians‬ ‭1:6-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬) I pray to God my Father through Jesus Christ in unity with the Holy Spirit of God, that all who read this message will know the truth that is Jesus Christ. All praise and all glory be to our Heavenly Father God for ever and ever, amen.
