Where there is smoke there is papam.
Habemus papam.
To address the current crisis, Msgr. Bux suggested that an examination of the “juridical validity” of Pope Benedict’s XVI’s resignation was in order to “overcome problems that today seem insurmountable to us.” The theologian consultor to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints was implying that further study of the situation could reveal that Francis is not and has never been a valid pope, but is, in fact, an antipope who could be removed from the papacy, thus nullifying his "insurmountable" errors. - Source
It's so over my head. But I'm pretty sure the resignation was valid - Benedict made that clear. Pope Francis was elected and is the Pope. I wonder if they could just go back to debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, instead?
Yawn ...
ReplyDeleteYep ... yawn.
DeleteI mean gee, don't these religious folks have anything better to do than to keep calling Benedict's resignation into question? I always come away with the impression that they are basically calling him a liar and Papa a "fake pope." They don't seem to have the guts to come out with it except maybe behind closed doors.
Just my two cents but man, it sure gets old!
Tell me.
DeleteThere is a trad blog who agrees with you Terry, and yesterday he posted a a good counter-argument to the Benedict resignation was made in error and is therefor not valid argument. As most trads go he is no fan of the Pope, and insults him often, so I won't link it.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this trad blog who agrees with you Terry. Maybe you should rethink your choices in life!
