"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See." (The Catholic Controversy, by DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Pope Confirms Communing Some Adulterers

Pope Francis has confirmed that Amoris Laetitia allows the divorced and remarried to receive Communion in some instances.

Last week the website LifeSiteNews published an unsettling report of a leaked letter purportedly written by Pope Francis stating "that there is 'no other interpretation' of Amoris Laetitia other than one admitting divorced and remarried Catholics to Holy Communion in some cases." [https://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/pope-confirms-communing-some-adulterers]

"When I hear it said that this is only a pastoral change, and not a doctrinal one, or that the commandment prohibiting adultery is a purely positive law which can be changed (and I think no righteous person can think this), this signifies that yes a triangle has generally three sides, but that it is possible to construct one with four sides. That is, I say, an absurdity."

Cardinal Caffarra also discussed the notion of "development of doctrine," which is at times used to invoke the admission of the divorced-and-remarried to Communion.

He said that "if there is one clear point, it is that there is no evolution where there is contradiction. If I say that S is P and then I say that S is not P, the second proposition does not develop the first, but contradicts it. Already Aristotle had justly taught that enunciating a universal affirmative principle (e.g., all adultery is wrong) and at the same time a particular negative proposition having the same subject and predicate (e.g., some adultery is not wrong), this is not making an exception to the first. It is contradicting it." - Cardinal Carlo Caffarra in CNA [https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/35237/cardinal-caffarra-explains-the-reasons-behind-the-dubia]

We must pay attention between the lines that God offers us. For all is grace, as St. Therese says. Says St. Celestine V, hermit, who was pope for a short time and then resigned, in fact, his pontificate. He says: "Before the Church is renewed, God will allow Peter's throne to be vacant. The Emperor of Germany, full of confidence in his strength, wanted to establish a pope there in his own way, but the members of the Holy College, very angry, objected. Then the Black Eagle will raise a large army, not only of Germans, but also of foreigners, its allies. This army, bearing in mind the Black Eagle, will invade Rome, where it will settle and place in captivity a large number of prelates and monks. She will kill multitudes of them through various cruel torments... Then a man will come who will put peace in the Church and raise it up. This lonely hermit who was elected Pope and, through him, God will renew the time of miracles and restore peace. »
