Pope on Marriage
[Enough is enough, Pope Francis should resign by
Adam Shaw]
"Pope Francis’s three-year-old papacy, marred by controversy from the beginning,
has hit a new low.
After Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected to succeed
Pope Benedict XVI in 2013, he quickly justified his reputation as an
unconventional character who put himself on both sides of an argument with
vaguely worded pronouncements.
From his “Who am I to judge?” statement on gay people
that seemed to offer a hint at a change in church teaching, to his fumbles on
contraception, to his recent claim that Donald Trump is not Christian, his
off-the-cuff remarks cause headlines across the globe, often followed by some
sort of “clarification” from the Holy See Press Office.
His papacy has been a litany of confusing statements
for the faithful on the most sensitive and delicate topics. While clear on
political topics dear to his heart,
but where Catholics can legitimately hold differing opinions, such as
immigration, economics and climate change, on matters of doctrine, Francis
muddied the waters to an extent that many well-meaning Catholics feel they no
longer know where the Church stands on issues of faith.
Most recently, in his latest off-the-cuff ramble on
Thursday, he was asked about marriage. He said:
“It’s provisional, and because of this the great
majority of our sacramental marriages are null. Because they say ‘yes, for the
rest of my life!’ but they don’t know what they are saying. Because they have a
different culture. They say it, they have good will, but they don’t know...”

Re 18:4
This thread is not about my thoughts (Eph 4:14). This thread is about the pope's
false teaching (Gen. 2:18–24).

Okay, I'll say it your way. The pope has clarity.
Appeal to authority (Eph 4:14).
You have magnified Your word above all Your name (Ps
138:2).
