St. Paul, Pp. Francis, and Babylon

It would seem that Pp. Francis is colliding with perennial Church teaching on adultery, sacramental abuse, the death penalty, and God's will re: religions.  To justify himself, Francis tosses the "schism" word at his critics.

Yah, well.  I'll take St Paul for salvation, Alex.

...Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be [a]sober. 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11Therefore [b]comfort each other and [c]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

12And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and [d]admonish you, 13and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

14Now we [e]exhort you, brethren, warn those who are [f]unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 15See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

16Rejoice always, 17pray without ceasing, 18in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

19Do not quench the Spirit. 20Do not despise prophecies. 21Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22Abstain from every form of evil....

More important than Paul was his Master:

...Jesus taught, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits" (Mt. 7:15,16).

 Paul was on to their game.

(2) When Paul met with the Ephesian elders for the last time, he said, "For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears" (Ac. 20:29-31)....

The schism--if there be one--is not from men separating themselves from FALSE teachings, friends.  It is from savage wolves who tickle the ears, speaking perverse things, whose fruits are known.

Mene, mene, tekel upharsin, Francis!!
