PRIOR TO HIS DEATH, CARDINAL CAFFARRA BEGGED POPE FRANCIS:

PRIOR TO HIS DEATH, CARDINAL CAFFARRA BEGGED POPE FRANCIS TO END THE CONFUSION IN CHURCH IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WW.CINOPSBEGONEBOLOGSPOT.COM SUND. SEPT. 10, 2017 A.Ref. https://www.lifesitenews.comb/blogs/cardinal-caffarra-begged-pope-francis-to-end confusion-in-church-prior-to-h Here are several excerpts: September 8, 3017 (LifeSiteNews) - A few months before he died, Cardinal Carlo Caffarra begged Pope Francis in a letter made public in June to end the "confusion and disorientation" with in the Church after the publication of the Pope's April 2016 Exhortation Amoris Laetitia. But Pope Francis never answered the Cardinal's April 25 plea, just as he never answered the Sept 19, 2016 plea of Caffarra along with three other cardinals to confirm that his Exhortation conformed to perennial Catholic teaching. Now the Pope of "dialogue" will never have the chance to respond to Caffarra. But this does not make the letter less relevant. In the letter, Caffarra asked the Pope for an audience for himself and other three dubia signers, Cardinal Joachim Meisner (now deceased), Walter Brandmuller, and Raymond Burke to "resolve uncertainties and to bring clarity" to "some objectively ambiguous passages" in Amoris Laetitia."... "Despite the fact that the Prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith has repeatedly declared that the doctrine of the Church has not changed, numerous statements have appeared from individual Bishops, Cardinals, and even Episcopal Conferences, approving what the Magisterium of the Church has never approved," he added. Caffarra wrote that it was "painful" for him to witness the Exhortation's effect upon the Church. "Not only access to the Holy Eucharist for those who objectively and publicly live in situation of grave sin, and intend to remain in it, but also a conception of moral conscience contrary to the Tradition of the Church," he wrote. "What is sin in Poland is good in Germany, that what is prohibited in the archdiocese of Philadelphia is permitted in Malta," he wrote.... B.

For instance, some bishops, such as in Argentina, Malta, Germany, and Belgium, have interpreted the Exhortation as allowing Communion to be given to civilly-divorced-and-remarried Catholics living in adultery, while other bishops, such as in Canada and Poland, have taken opposite view.... Along with the Cardinals, dozens of Catholic philosophers and theologians have stated their concerns with the Exhortation/ Most recently, Catholic philosopher Dr. Joseph Seifert published an article in which he called the Exhortatation a ticking, "theological atomic bomb" that has the capacity to entirely destroy all Catholic moral teaching. Seifert was removed from his Catholic university by his local archbishop last week for raising his concerns. (This is unbelievable.) When asked about the number of bishops or prelates who might openly sign a declaration correcting the Pope, Burke said that numbers are not important, but truth. VERITAS ... "THE QUESTION IS WHAT TRUTH DID OUR LORD HIMSELF TEACH IN THE GOSPEL AND WHAT HAS THE CHURCH ALWAYS TAUGHT, IN FIDELITY TO THE WORD OF CHRIST. THE TRUTH AND LIVING ACCORDING TO THAT TRUTH ALONE WILL MAKE INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIANS FREE AND HAPPY," ... George H. Kubeck
