This is from the book published for the 2015 Synod containing essays from 11 Cardinals. Ignatius press has provided express permission to publish the essay, which provides the theological, doctrinal and pastoral reasons why Divorced and Civilly Remarried people should not receive communion. <br /><br />https://ariseletusbegoing.com/2016/04/22/ignatius-press-re-enters-the-fray/<br /><br /><br />Perhaps when he publishes the above-mentioned essay, you may want to link to it from your blog, for the edification of your readers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-17793588725216090452016-04-22T14:45:15.013+01:002016-04-22T14:45:15.013+01:00A vacancy of the See of Peter is Catholic.

It is utterly un-Catholic to believe any man who 'teaches another Christ' is a shepherd of His Church. Anyone who perverts the Gospel is not of the Body of Christ. There is no political conundrum in the Bride of Christ, but there certainly is in Novus Ordo.<br /><br /><br />http://www.novusordowatch.org/wire/sanborn-conference-audios.htmOur Lady of Good Success-pray for us.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14746510579669229511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-36697733491194037812016-04-22T12:04:53.563+01:002016-04-22T12:04:53.563+01:00Robert you say: "Christianity is not a theocr...Robert you say: "Christianity is not a theocracy". Have you never heard of Christ the King? That does not mean the state has to be a theocracy but that we individually should submit to his reign. That remark however says it all about your position. Christ said it was adultery very plainly. As to the Orthodox their practice varies from country to country and usually has just followed whatever the secular state has decreed - not very Catholic. Read what Archbishop Cyril Vasil' S.J. wrote in "Remaining in the Truth of Christ. Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church" has to say on the subject.<br /><br />Nicolas Bellordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08063019108964247676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-80621991340013496522016-04-22T00:14:53.156+01:002016-04-22T00:14:53.156+01:00But what is it to you if people remarry.?

You are saying tha a wrong decision is the only human mistake which cannot be rectified. Of course it is not adultery. New promises have been made. The Latin church should look to the Orthodox and allow remarriage after penitence.If Jesus were around today, he would overturn the tables of your loveless rigidity. Don't appeal to More on grounds of his stand. He was a holy man, but a man of his times: he approved the burning of heretics. I rather think you are becoming so critical of zChristianity and the practice of mercy and wonder if you would be happier as a Muslim. Christianity is not a theocracy.

The entire thrust of Francis is of God the deceiver, which is one of the tenets of a cult he appears to admire without reservation.<br />Our defence, indeed our attack, is prayer to the God who hears us and calls us to His side with our repentance and His grace.

A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." (Jn 10:4,5). The voice of Pope Francis in AL sounds like that of a stranger, it does not sound like the voice of Christ speaking through Peter. We cannot pray enough for this Pope" <br />I read this before going to Mass and those words leapt out to me too - and I drew exactly the same conclusion. We are living in dark times indeed.<br /><br />And this is a great post Laurence. It is such a comfort to come here and to other faithful Catholic blogs. I feel so isolated here in my Parish.

How many are the Catholics in our own day who have struggled against nature with the aid of Holy Church, without even mentioning our great heroes (and they are likely legion!) such as Sts Thomas More, John Fischer, Edmund Campion...and all the others, who died in defense of the sacrament Francis is trampling! There are many average Catholics who abided by the rules after a failed marriage & I believe that witness alone will help my children & grandchildren strive for fidelity. Unless, of course, their pastors swallow AL & counsel them at the slightest aggravation that they can walk away.<br /><br />I pray for my sweet family and all families to resist this dreadful despair, as you so rightly labeled it, and grow in grace against the evil we experience at the hands of our own chief pastor.<br /><br />I don't know that I've ever been so dispirited. I know that it will pass and I really appreciate your hopeful comments. I pray for all sincere Catholics at this terrible time, especially those who are suffering with weakness which has been aggravated by this dreadful temptation handed to them by their Father. God will not be mocked.

It is a crisis of faith. Our Lady of Sallette has already prophesied that Rome would lose the faith, and it seems it has now happened. What always struck me about modernists is the Deistic assumptions behind their concept of God. Because by claiming, as they do, that the Bible contains error, or the teachings of the Church are outdated or simply wrong is akin to saying that God just sort of sat back as a distant observer, and instead of guiding the Church with his providential care, he just left everything to chance. How depressing! Such naturalistic thinking will now lead to the attempt to change the discipline of priestly celibacy. When we hear an argument in favour of married clergy, often it includes the assertion that celibacy is not natural. And this is perfectly right. It isn't natural, but that doesn't matter, because it is not a question of testing the limits of human nature, but a question of grace. In other words, celibacy is a supernatural gift. But if you don't have faith in a God who provides for his children then yes, getting rid of the rule of celibacy seems reasonable. In today's gospel reading it includes this: '..the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." (Jn 10:4,5).
