Once again, the Bishop or Rome has manipulated the burdensome Pharisaical laws with the true Commandments of God and the effort of Catholics to remain faithful to His divine and just Law. Speaking in a homily at the Vatican City Motel, the Bishop of Rome stated:
“When Jesus says: ‘The Father is always at work: I, too, am always at work,’ the teachers of the law were scandalized and wanted to kill him for this. Why? Because they could not receive the things of God as a gift! Only as Justice: ‘These are the Commandments: but they are few, let’s make more. And instead of opening their heart to the gift, they hid, have sought refuge in the rigidity of the Commandments, which they had multiplied up to 500 or more ... They did not know how to receive the gift – and the gift is only received with freedom – and these rigid characters were afraid of the freedom that God gives us: they were afraid of love.”
“How do I receive the redemption, the forgiveness that God has given me, the making of me a son with His Son? Lovingly, tenderly, with freedom? Or do I hide in the rigidity of the closed Commandments, that are more and more “safe” – with emphasis on the scare-quotes – but that do not give joy, because they does not make you free. Each of us ought to ask himself wonder how he is experiencing these two wonders: the wonder of creation and even greater wonder of re-creation. May the Lord make us understand this great thing and make us understand what He was doing before creating the world: He was loving. Let us understand His love for us, and may we say – as we said today: ‘Lord, you are great! Thank you, thank you!’ Let us go forward like this.
The beloved Apostle of the Lord, St John the Evangelist, recorded the words of Jesus in his Gospel, at chapter 8: 28-32
"Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak: And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him. When he spoke these things, many believed in him. Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
To be a disciple of Jesus means to "continue in (His) word. This would mean that as a disciple we would live Him and as he said, "If you love me, keep my Commandments."
We have made no “new” laws ,no “new” commandments. We follow those of God, to love him and one like to it, our neighbour as ourselves. Within those two command are all the others. The Bishop of Rome is manipulating the reality here to make his heresy that those who are unrepentant adulterers are not in grievous sin that is mortal and may receive the Sacraments.
Day by day, this Bergoglio reveals more of the corrupted thinking that has infected his faith and what he expects you to follow to infect yours.
Frankly, he is a coward. He does not have the courage to come right out and state it, instead, he plays with words and has others, such as those in Buenos Aires, Germany and Malta and a few derelict bishop in America to do his bidding. He is having these malefactors set it up and then he is able to stay just above it, not committing a formal heresy, not proclaiming a false doctrine. He is a coward because he knows, if he was to say outright what he thinks, he would be declared a formal heretic.
No, the Pope is wrong and he must be called out.
Bishops?
Cardinals?
