Oh, so now, we are to believe that Bergoglio really meant, God's "permissive will?"

Francis knows he's in trouble. IF the trouble eases, Schneider will face the consequences.

Schneider is just being used in a moment of need.

The revolution continues unabated. The inertia of the resistance is a sign of resignation. The faithful need to change from a worm to an eagle without delay. The inertia stops nothing. Action and a foundation based on tradition needs to have a visible presence. Many souls have been lost but many more are at stake yet there are crickets from most prelates. The fruits of the reformation, communist revolution and Vatican 2 are bored, disinterested, easily fooled laity and clerics. Question I have....if there is no sin (or hell) why do we need redemption? If no Redemption needed, why believe in Jesus Christ, the moral code (what is that?) or any church precepts for that matter? The Bride of Christ is being destroyed by evil forces within and outside the Church AND nothing is being done to counteract it. A counter-Revolution is needed and yet there is nothing, nada, zippo.

The CC has always used 'permissive' & 'positive' will to get out of difficult questioning. God cannot permit/condone/allow sin of any kind for whatever reason as He is sinless Himself & His Will must be adhered to if we wish to be saved. He sent His Son to earth to establish the OHC&A Church & did not, by His permissive will, allow it to be shattered into 38,000 or so false religions & scripture always refers to unbelievers as Pagans. Heathens or Infidels.

I am sorry that Bishop Schneider seems to have accepted PF's explanation & his satisfaction that PF gave him permission to inform us. The Abu Dhabi document still exists, as does that sham monstrosity of an Agreement which put Chinese Catholics into the arms of the Communist Regime. How can anyone say PF is a valid & licit Pope? IMO he s the False Prophet of whom Bishop Sheen had this to say: "In the midst of all his seeming love for humanity and his glib talk of freedom and equality, he will have one great secret which he will tell to no one: he will not believe in God. Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect."

To the silent Cardinals I would venture to say "The power of evil men lives on the cowardice of the good." St. John Bosco. And "You cannot please both God & the world at the same time, they are utterly opposed to each other in their thoughts, their desires & their actions." St. John Vianney.

I'm sure that official statement from Francis is coming really soon Bishop Schneider.

But unless they officially tear up that document before the whole world, Francis little words mean jack little &$^%.

I'm sure Cardinal Zen knows all about how much you can trust whatever Pope Peron tells you.

Plus it is utterly ridiculous to think that anyone besides a few Catholics would be reading into the document "permissive will." Francis of course knew this when he signed it and probably ready figured he might need to throw out the "permissive will" defense if any of those rigid neo-pelagian Catholics came after him.

I abhor the Francis.

I believe, because of my trust of Archbishop Schneider, that he is acting as a reporter here, simply conveying what transpired, leaving it up to us to determine what to make of it. The way he phrases his question convinces me that he knows the answer he received is untenable. Male/female, different races, of course part of God's plan, and thus His directive will. Adding to that sentence variety of religions, he cannot but mean this is directive as well. And the good archbishop conveyed to us the fact that Francis/Bergoglio will not be issuing any formal clarification.

I do so wish that Bishop Schneider was "being used." Anyone compos mentis who is still going along with Bergoglio's blatant malevolence at this stage in the game, I am afraid, must be understood as doing so culpably.
