And you keep trying to BLUR the fact that you're wrong by posting volumes of Church documents on marriage.
This has NOTHING to do with the discipline of withholding Communion. It is simply one CAUSE for the discipline.
Marriage IS a doctrinal matter - withholding communion is NOT - as I have already proven to you.
Whenever the Pope changes a discipline - there are Bishops who are against it. Abstaining from meat on EVERY Friday used to be a discipline in the Church but was changed to be observed during Lent only. Not everybody was happy about it but it was STILL only a discipline.
If the Pope changes the discipline on the celibate priesthood - there will be MUCH more protest than you see against Amoris Laetitia - but it would STILL only be a matter of DISCIPLINE, not doctrine.
Just admit when you're wrong and that you don't know what you;re talking about . . .
Listen BoL
There has been an UPROAR by Catholic Bishops over this....if I need to post google pages I will,,,
Conservatives want Catholic bishops to denounce pope as heretic - Reuters
Once again, bishops around the world differ on 'Amoris'
You know very well what an outcry there was over this "discipline"...as you put it.
As you must surely know,,,the EUCHARIST is not a discipline but is a DOCTRINE of the Catholic Church and dare I say that it is DOGMA....a person cannot be a catholic unless he believes in transubstantiation.
Discipline regarding the Eucharist has to do with HOW it is administered...
For instance:
Can one eat before receiving communion.
Can communion be offered by a lay person.
Can communion be taken in the hand.
Can communion be taken more than once per day.
etc.
These are disciplines that are subject to change.
What IS NOT subject to change is the FAITH that the church protects.
JESUS said that divorce caused ADULTERY.
A person remarried and living in ADULTERY CANNOT receive communion because they are living in mortal sin.
A person in MORTAL SIN CANNOT RECEIVE COMMUNION.
This is not a discipline.....
This is at the very least doctrine.....I'd go so far as to say it's dogma, but this could be debated.
IF A REMARRIED LIVING IN ADULTERY CAN RECEIVE COMMUNION....
then SO CAN ANYONE ELSE IN MORTAL SIN.....
How can you NOT understand the severity of this situation caused by Pope Francis.
He lost the respect of MANY in the catholic church...
priests, bishops and laity.
Did YOU receive the letter sent out by the Vatican in 2014 (maybe 2015) asking for opinion
on certain family matters AND on certain situations regarding the SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST?
Well, I happen to have received it. And I knew back then that this change would happen...
Many refused to believe it,,,but it DID happen and the catholic world was turned upside down for at least 2 or 3 years. It MIGHT be subsiding now....
No person with any common sense will believe this is a change to a discipline.
This is a change to a major catholic doctrine/dogma.
A dogma is a truth received from the bible.
Divorce is a truth received from Jesus.
Communion cannot be received when in Mortal Sin.
Remarriage is a mortal sin.
Pope Francis has declared that REMARRIAGE IS NOT A MORTAL SIN.
Is this a discipline according to you?
Those that cannot accept this change, such as yourself, find every excuse to get around it.
THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND IT.
If remarrieds can receive communion...
ANYONE can receive -- even those in ANY STATE OF MORTAL SIN.
CHANGE HAS COME TO A DOCTRINE/DOGMA.
ACCEPT IT.
