Apparently, the Holy Father woke up Catholic again this morning. . .
“Sacred Scripture,” he reaffirmed, “is the written testimony of the divine Word, the canonical memory that attests to the event of Revelation. However, the Word of God precedes the Bible and surpasses it. That is why the centre of our faith isn't just a book, but a salvation history and above all a person, Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh. It is precisely because the Word of God embraces and extends beyond Scripture that, in order to properly understand it, the Holy Spirit's constant presence, who guides us “to all truth”, is necessary. It is necessary to place ourselves within the great Tradition that has, with the Holy Spirit's assistance and the Magisterium's guidance, recognized the canonical writings as the Word that God addresses to his people, who have never ceased meditating upon it and discovering inexhaustible riches from it.”

Those who still consider "Is the Pope Catholic?" a rhetorical question may find more insight into the papacy by looking at the cardinals Pope Francis has appointed "to advise him in the government of the universal Church and to study a plan for revising the Apostolic Constitution on the Roman Curia, 'Pastor Bonus'."

ReplyDeleteWhy are we surprised that the Holy Father is Catholic in name only?
An excerpt from this article:

"...The Sacred Sacrament of Holy Orders would be ridiculed, oppressed and despised. The demon would labor unceasingly to corrupt the clergy and would succeed with many of them. And these "depraved priests, who will scandalize the Christian people, will incite the hatred of the bad Christians and the enemies of the Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church to fall upon all priests. This apparent triumph of Satan will bring enormous sufferings upon the good pastors of the Church."
The hippie revolution ushered in free love and a breakdown of morals.
About the Sacrament of Matrimony, which symbolizes the union of Christ with His Church, she said this: "Masonry, which will then be in power, will enact iniquitous laws with the objective of doing away with this Sacrament, making it easy for everyone to live in sin. … The Christian spirit will rapidly decay, extinguishing the precious light of Faith until it reaches the point that there will be an almost total and general corruption of customs..."
The apparition of Our Lady of Good Success happened four hundred years ago.
May He, Who , for your sake was nailed to the Cross, be in every way impressed upon your heart.
¡Ave María Purísima!

Pablo, the Holy Father has unequivocally stated his support for the Church's understanding of the faith. And he is about as far from being a Mason as I am.
