Guest shiloh357 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 If you couldn't understand English, I wonder what your theology would look like on Worthy? Oh please... He could have spoken through a translator and could have made the point using good theology. Language is not a barrier. Good theology can be spoken in any language. This is an issue with the Pope leaving out the most important aspect of true Christian theology. “I am certain I have never said anything more than what is in the social doctrine of the church…I follow the church and in this, I do not think I am wrong.”“Maybe I have given an impression of being a little bit to the left…But if they want me to recite the Creed, I can!”Pope FrancisAnd the Nicene Creed -- recited by all at every Catholic Mass -- includes the following:"We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God..."For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose againin accordance with the Scriptures;he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father...."But he didn't recite the Creed. It would have been better to do that than to leave people with the idea that the cross of Jesus was a failure. Also, in the above quote, he refers to the social doctrine of the Church. We don't have a "social doctrine." He is referring to socialism as if social justice and biblical Christianity have anything in common.Sorry Old School but the more you try to dig him of this hole the worse you make it.

Just because you repeat the Nicene Creed for 100 yrs doesn't mean you are born again and saved Christian....No one said it did -- it only proves the speaker is aware of the articles of the Christian faith.I wish you would stop making straw man arguments for things that were never claimed.

As he has an accent, it's less painful to just read his homilies.English is not Francis' strong suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachi was in a position to know and Pope Paul VI gave him permission to write about these things and put him in a position to do so; John Paul II carried on with it..... that's the simple truth. Malachi was an exorcist and an active priest holding mass occasionally up until the day he died..... and if he was such a terrible person, the popes would not have let him stay in the Church. Certainly would not let him hold Mass.I'm honestly confused, other one, by your statement he never lied. He lied about his affair with Mary. He lied about it to her husband, to his fellow priests, to his superiors. He even went so far in his lying to make her husband, and others, believe her husband was suffering from a psychological illness for even thinking that there was an affair going on. He did so with the expertise and finesse of an accomplished, practiced liar. His character is one of complete untrustworthiness. This is why he was stripped of his priestly duties and authority.This revelation of such serious deficiencies in his character is why I have no trust for anything he wrote about, especially in works of fiction. I would not use him as a source of valid information. Edited September 30, 2015 by thereselittleflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they did remove him from his priestly duties. He was actually laicized. In a letter from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, the following is stated:"In 1965, Mr. Martin received a dispensation from all privileges and obligations deriving from his vows as a Jesuit and from priestly ordination."
