Francis Joke: Death Penalty is Intrinsically Evil Act even though I Eliminated Intrinsically Evil Acts

This is funny. I'm laughing.

The National Catholic Register's J.D. Flynn, with a straight face, yesterday wrote that the Pope is developing doctrine on the death penalty:

Francis in saying "the death penalty 'is in itself contrary to the Gospel'... evoked the theological concept of 'intrinsically evil acts.'"

Flynn isn't up in the newest development in doctrine.

This week, the Pope's confidant Antonio Spadaro confirmed, what philosopher Josef Seifert said of Amoris Laetitia (303), that Francis has eliminated intrinsically evil acts.

The National Catholic Reporter, on October 6, quotes Spadaro:

"We must conclude that the Pope realizes that one can no longer speak of an abstract category of persons and... praxis of integration in a rule that is absolutely to be followed in every instance."

The Register is behind the times.

Francis eliminated intrinsically evil acts so the death penalty can't be an intrincically evil act.

That is if 2+2 equals 4.

The question is which point is wrong? Is AL wrong or is the death penalty wrong? More likely AL.

Francis's confidant Spadaro, and it appears the Pope, believes 2+2 equals 5. In postmodernist make believe land, they are both right.

In reality, they are both wrong because intrinsically evil acts exist, but the death penalty is not a intrincically evil act.

But according to themselves, the Bergoglians are always right. If 2 plus 2 can sometimes equal 5, then self-contradiction is perfectly licit. There are no negative precepts of the natural law when Pope Bergoglio says there aren't, but there are when he wants them. Mad Hatter, please call your office!
