Catholic Scholars Appeal to Pope to Clarify Teaching on Death Penalty

“We are guided also by the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas, who states:

If the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly. Hence Paul, who was Peter’s subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning faith, and, as the gloss of Augustine says on Galatians 2:11, “Peter gave an example to superiors, that if at any time they should happen to stray from the straight path, they should not disdain to be reproved by their subjects.” (Summa Theologiae, Part II-II, Question 33, Article 4, ad 2)”

The legitimacy of capital punishment is the consistent teaching of the magisterium for two millennia

Seamless Garment Theory Blurs Moral Lines

“The seamless garment was a term coined by a Catholic ethicist in 1971 to equate the intrinsic evil of abortion with capital punishment. Catholic teaching bans abortion but allows capital punishment in certain situations. The Seamless Garment was later equated with the term “consistent ethic of life” by the late Cdl. Joseph Bernardin of Chicago in talks given at two universities in 1983 and 1984.”

Fr. James Martin Pushing Childhood Transgenderism

“In September 2017, the American College of Pediatricians (ACP) released an updated document,”Gender Ideology Harms Children,” claiming, “Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.”

“No one is born with an awareness of themselves as male or female; this awareness develops over time, and like all developmental processes may be derailed by a child’s subjective perceptions, relationships and adverse experiences from infancy forward,” the document continues. “A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.”

Dr. Michelle Cretella, president of the ACP, commented to Church Militant, “We must urge the silent majority of parents, grandparents and health professionals to speak out.”

She continued, “We must urge our leaders to question the authority of the so-called experts and to demand an end to this massive, dangerous social experiment that is already having devastating effects upon our young people.”

Burke: If Francis Won’t “Clarify Serious Error,” Cardinals Must Take Corrective Action

“We, as cardinals, judged it our responsibility to request a clarification with regard to these questions, in order to put an end to this spread of confusion that is actually leading people into error,” he says.

A Blog for Dallas Area Catholics

Put another, less diplomatic way, what Cardinal Burke is essentially saying is that, if Francis will not abjure the errors, or, at the very least, extremely dubious assertions, of Amoris Laetitia, Burke and others will move to try to correct him according to canon law, which could include the convoking of a general council to make a judgment of the pope’s adherence to the Sacred Deposit of Faith.  I can’t imagine how that would play out in any way that would lead to a negative judgment against Francis, given the state of the Church today and with so many prelates clearly given over to his view of things, but it’s most definitely a very serious warning.  I can’t really even see a sufficient number of prelates to be in agreement with Burke and other more faithful bishops – which are not inconsiderable in number, but I would think far short…
