Francis on adultery and receiving “Holy Communion” (More Proof)
Source: vaticancatholic.com
Francis’ April 16, 2016 In-Flight Press Conference from Lesvos to Rome:
Francis Rocca of The Wall Street Journal mentioned the recent Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation and asked whether or not there has been any change in the discipline concerning reception of the sacraments by the divorced and remarried.
Francis: “I could say ‘yes’ and leave it at that. But that would be too brief a response. I recommend that all of you read the presentation made by Cardinal Schönborn, a great theologian.”[1]
Francis is asked if there has been a change in regard to giving “Communion” to those who are divorced and “remarried”. He responds that “yes” – a change has indeed been made. This was clear from the words of Francis’ heretical document Amoris Laetitia. It has also been proven by a recent letter “leaked” by a “priest” in Argentina. Francis wrote to this Argentinian “priest” (on 9/5/16) and said there is “no other interpretation” of Amoris Laetitia other than admitting divorced and “remarried Catholics” to “Holy Communion” in some cases. In other words, according to Francis, the only interpretation of his document Amoris Laetitia is that it allows unrepentant adulterers to receive “Holy Communion”: https://vaticancatholic.com/pope-no-interpretation-amoris-laetitia-allowing-communion-divorced-remarried-cases/
He preaches a new and false gospel.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10- “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Shortly after the details of Francis’ letter emerged in the media (in early September), the Vatican confirmed that Francis’ leaked letter on Amoris Laetitia is authentic.
This means that Francis believes and officially teaches that you can live in adultery, be in the state of grace, and receive “Holy Communion”. Anyone who takes that position (and it has now been clearly proven that Francis does) is a heretic who preaches a false gospel. Such a person rejects the Catholic faith and is therefore outside the Catholic Church.
Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (# 23), June 29, 1943: “For not every offense, although it may be a grave evil, is such as by its very own nature to sever a man from the Body of the Church, as does schism or heresy or apostasy.”
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “… can it be lawful for anyone to reject any one of those truths without thereby sending himself headlong into open heresy without thereby separating himself from the Church and in one sweeping act repudiating the entirety of Christian doctrine?… he who dissents in even one point from divinely received truths has most truly cast off the faith completely, since he refuses to revere God as the supreme truth and proper motive of faith.”
Pope Innocent III, Eius exemplo, Dec. 18, 1208: “By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one Church, not of heretics, but the Holy Roman, Catholic, and Apostolic Church outside of which we believe that no one is saved.”
Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “No one who merely disbelieves in all these (heresies) can for that reason regard himself as a Catholic or call himself one. For there may be or arise some other heresies, which are not set out in this work of ours, and if anyone holds to a single one of these he is not a Catholic.”
