My answers to the Pope's questionnaire?

As everyone "knows", Pope Francis intends to turn Catholic doctrine upside down , especially in matters of morality. The idea is that from now on sexual relations outside of marriage will be allowed - sooner or later, depending on the same -, adultery is allowed - divorce and remarriage -, the legitimacy of homosexual unions is admitted - marriage included -, all those who are in mortal sin are allowed to take communion - if there is such a sin -, abortion - in which the main victims are always those who kill their children before being born - is looked at with different eyes, etc. And since there is no plan to change all that just like that, the Holy Father has decided to consult with all the faithful, in the hope that the majority of them are in favor of said changes. This is how many media outlets are reporting something as elementary as the fact that the Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops, Mons.


Lorenzo Baldisseri, has sent a consultative document to all episcopal conferences on the occasion of the next extraordinary Synod. That is, exactly the same has been done as in previous synods. Because you will tell me what is the point of convening a synod of bishops if the bishops are not consulted . The media assume that the faithful will be asked about doctrines that have always been part of the teaching of the Church.  Job Function Email List  And no, rather the bishops will be asked how they believe the level of knowledge and acceptance of these doctrines by their faithful is. It is not the same. And in any case, half a century of little preaching on these matters from the pulpits - anyone who says otherwise is lying - leaves a mark on souls . It doesn't hurt to check to what extent. In fact, when one reads the questionnaire, what is seen is not an attempt to change anything, but rather to know to what extent Catholics are truly Catholic or live an à la carte religion , in which they choose what they want and discard what they want.



the rest. There is a lot of clever people out there thinking that the Church has to adapt its doctrine by reading demographic surveys. There are even those who believe that the sensus fidelium is the key to open the door to heresy and error. With which they demonstrate that they have no idea what the sensus fidelium is (see Lumen Gentium 12 ). They ignore that faith is not a thing for the majority. For example, if in the 4th century they had asked the baptized about the divinity of Christ, it is possible that the majority would have said no. Saint Jerome said: “ The world woke up one day and groaned at seeing itself as an Arian .” And yet, Christ is God. In conclusion, what are my answers to the Pope's questionnaire? None. I am neither a bishop nor has anyone consulted me . And if by chance my bishop consulted me, the answer would be immediate: "by grace I believe from the heart everything that the Church indicates that we must believe." That is what it means to be Catholic.
