Leo XIV summons world’s bishops to entrench ‘heretical’ Amoris Laetitia

---

Pope Leo considers the highly controversial Amoris Laetitia a guiding text for the Church, elements of which many consider to be heretical.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV has called upon the presidents of the world’s Episcopal Conference to meet in Rome in October in order “to examine and discuss the teachings of Amoris Laetitia and how to proclaim the Gospel to families today,” according to a report from Vatican News...

... [Francis] Contradicting John Paul II and many others, Amoris Laetitia states that “it can no longer simply be said that all those in any irregular situation are living in a state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace. More is involved here than mere ignorance of the rule.”

According to LifeSiteNews’ Gaetano Masciullo, this thesis is undeniably heterodox. Francis’ admission of the possibility of giving Communion to divorced and “remarried” Catholics was not only implicitly suggested in the document itself, but explicitly confirmed by Francis on September 5, 2016, in a letter responding to the bishops of the Buenos Aires pastoral region. “There are no other interpretations,” he stated.

Trump congratulates Pope Leo XIV on being named first American pontiff...

... While Prevost’s election to the papacy is sure to gladden a number of Americans, and the cardinal has been seen as a “compromise candidate” for the papacy by the College of Cardinals, his history indicates that he may continue the heterodox positions of Pope Francis. 

This includes, significantly, Prevost’s reported support of the practice of allowing divorced and civilly “remarried” Catholics to receive Holy Communion without repentance.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen's beatification Mass is scheduled for September 24, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri, marking his official step toward canonization as a saint in the Catholic Church. In an interview of Archbishop Sheen buried in the archives apparently recently discovered, he gave this interview just weeks before he died. 

In the video, he appeared to slam the idea that a pope could say "Marry as you please. Unmarry as you please, fornicate as you please" which demolishes Francis and Leo "allowing divorced and civilly 'remarried' Catholics to receive Holy Communion without repentance":

"No, not at all. No, because we have no power over the divine law. Furthermore, suppose John Paul II tomorrow said, 'All right, bring out your contraceptives. Pull out your scalpels. Unplug the children from their wombs. Marry as you please. Unmarry as you please, fornicate as you please.' What would be the difference between the church and the world?"

Catholic Priest STUNS in REDISCOVERED VIRAL Interview: "THE DESTRUCTION

Notes:

Below is the transcription of the Archbishop Sheen interview:

In the distant future, any change in the in the church's stand, the Catholic Church's stand and certain issues today

0:20

20 seconds

which have been quite controversial, certainly abortion has been. Do you foresee ever any change in that?

0:27

27 seconds

No, not at all. No, because we have no power over the divine law. Furthermore, suppose we did.

0:36

36 seconds

Suppose John Paul II tomorrow said, "All right, bring out your contraceptives.

0:46

46 seconds

Pull out your scalpels. Unplug the children from their wombs.

0:55

55 seconds

Marry as you please.

0:58

58 seconds

Unmarry as you please, fornicate as you please.

1:03

1 minute, 3 seconds

What would be the difference between the church and the world? When we talk about the family, Bishop Sheen, are you distressed by the fact that that uh in

1:11

1 minute, 11 seconds

many cases you have men and women living together without marriage?

1:15

1 minute, 15 seconds

Yes. And principally because it is the destruction of love.

1:23

1 minute, 23 seconds

Unfortunately, in English, we have only one word for love.

1:28

1 minute, 28 seconds

So we have to say I love pickles. I love the New York Mets. I love God.

1:35

1 minute, 35 seconds

The Greeks had three words for it.

1:38

1 minute, 38 seconds

And two of them that were important were aeros which was friendship [clears throat] love when Freud made the

1:45

1 minute, 45 seconds

erotic or sex. Then there's the agape sacrificial love. And when you're speaking of the family and these new

1:54

1 minute, 54 seconds

customs that have sprung up, we have only aeros, the erotic love, we have a love in which the ego projects

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

itself into another and says, "I love you." When all that is loved is the pleasure that is found in the other person.

2:12

2 minutes, 12 seconds

And this kind of love is the destruction of the family and the destruction of the human person.

2:19

2 minutes, 19 seconds

As a matter of fact, I believe one of the reasons why we have so much neurosis and psychosis is this tremendous

2:26

2 minutes, 26 seconds

affirmation of the self. I I got to do my thing. I have to have my pleasure.

2:33

2 minutes, 33 seconds

You bend yourself to my will.

2:37

2 minutes, 37 seconds

When real love does not mean to have and to own and to possess means to be had, to be owned, to be possessed.

2:49

2 minutes, 49 seconds

The ancients were right in giving Cupid an arrow, something that wounds, something that sacrifices for another.

2:58

2 minutes, 58 seconds

Do these people ever show love example for the their neighbor and for the downtrodden? No, it is generally for the satisfaction of self.

3:09

3 minutes, 9 seconds

So this kind of life is producing neurotics and psychotics in our civilization.

3:16

3 minutes, 16 seconds

You mean more so than ever?

3:17

3 minutes, 17 seconds

More so than ever. Yes. People today are without goals and without purposes.

3:24

3 minutes, 24 seconds

That is one of the reasons why our civilization is erotic. We try to make the intensity of a sex experience a tone for a want of a purpose in life.

3:36

3 minutes, 36 seconds

Just as when we're lost in an automobile, we drive faster.

3:41

3 minutes, 41 seconds

Take your average woman in mid30s, say, who is a mother, a wife, she's bored,

3:48

3 minutes, 48 seconds

she's restless. You say that she is likely or would regard a sexual experience as um something that might

3:56

3 minutes, 56 seconds

fulfill her. One, I would say nothing about that particular woman, but she has she has something that can give her a passion. That's the raising of children.

4:05

4 minutes, 5 seconds

Believe me, she's got some some arrows that she has to shoot and she'll be held responsible whether or not those arrows ever hit the mark.

4:16

4 minutes, 16 seconds

Well, how what can you say to that woman though to make her aware of this what you're saying about raising those children? Because the tendency is to

4:24

4 minutes, 24 seconds

say, "Oh, I can't wait to get out of the house away from children. I'm so tired of of children underfoot." All right. What do you say to anybody,

4:32

4 minutes, 32 seconds

not just that woman? What do you say to anybody? Yeah. What do you want? Why are you bored?

4:41

4 minutes, 41 seconds

You want three things. If you could take your heart out as a kind of crucible and you're still out of it, it inmost

4:49

4 minutes, 49 seconds

cravings, what would they be? When you want life, not for five more minutes, not for five more years.

5:00

5 minutes

What else do you want?

5:03

5 minutes, 3 seconds

You want truth, not just what you read in the paper. Truth of geography, literature, science, everything.

5:11

5 minutes, 11 seconds

We hate to have secrets kept from us. Thirdly, what do you want? Love.

5:18

5 minutes, 18 seconds

And a love without satiety. A love without fed upness. A love that is constant. That's what you want. Now, do you find them here?

5:30

5 minutes, 30 seconds

Do you find life here? No.

5:33

5 minutes, 33 seconds

Why? Because life is mingled with the shadow death. We get old.

5:41

5 minutes, 41 seconds

Truth has mingled with the shadow error.

5:45

5 minutes, 45 seconds

Love that is mingled with the shadow hate and society.

5:49

5 minutes, 49 seconds

So here we are in this rat race, something we want, something we we can't find.

5:57

5 minutes, 57 seconds

What's the answer? Are we to say life is a mockery? Or are we are we to say as we might in this room what's the source of

6:06

6 minutes, 6 seconds

light? Not under the chair there's light is mingled with shadow.

6:11

6 minutes, 11 seconds

Not behind the bookcases there light is mingled with darkness.

6:15

6 minutes, 15 seconds

we would say as logical beings, well source of light, I have to go out to something that's pure light. So if you

6:22

6 minutes, 22 seconds

want a life and a truth and a love, a life that life that is not mingled with the shadow death and a truth that is not mingled

6:30

6 minutes, 30 seconds

with the shadow error and a love that is not mingled with the shadow hate, you want pure life, pure truth, pure love.

6:37

6 minutes, 37 seconds

That's what you want. That's only a definition of God.

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia and for the restoration of the Church.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

l– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[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 St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
