Catholic clergy and lay leaders issue formal rebuke to Pope

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know a lot about the formalities of Catholic law, but this is apparently a pretty big deal. This procedure hasn't been invoked since the year 1333 [sic].

Clergy and Lay Scholars Issue Filial Correction of Pope Francis

The initiative, the first time such a mechanism has been used since the Middle Ages, accuses the Pope of “propagating heresies” and respectfully asks that he teach the truth of the Catholic faith in its integrity.

A group of clergy and lay scholars from around the world have taken the very rare step of presenting Pope Francis with a formal filial correction, accusing him of propagating heresies concerning marriage, the moral life, and reception of the sacraments.

Entitled Correctio filialis de haeresibus propagatis, meaning ‘A Filial Correction Concerning the Propagation of Heresies,’ the 25 page letter was delivered to the Holy Father at his Santa Marta residence on Aug. 11.

I didn't see this coming. Perhaps the Catholic church is not lost after all and Mr. Closet-Atheist Pope is on the way out.

So both the President, and the Pope, are headed for simultaneous impeachment?

I'm glad this is happening. Francis has been spewing nothing but heresy since becoming pope.

Maybe they can remove him from office, and replace him....
