That Jesuit training he got......what a wonderful thing, eh? In Singapore, he pontificated:
...All religions are a path to arrive at God. They are, of a comparison, like different languages, different idioms, to arrive there. But God is God for everyone. And since God is God for everyone, we are all children of God. “But my God is more important than yours!” Is this true? There is only one God, and we, our religions are languages, paths to arrive at God. Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian, but they are different paths....
Most of you caught the obvious problems with that right off the top.
But here's an analysis by Louie:
...There are two heresies here. The most blatant concerns his profession of equality between the false religions (by name no less!) and Christianity, presenting them as merely different paths to the one true God. Perhaps less obvious to some is the assertion that the unbaptized enjoy divine sonship along with those who are baptized in Christ....
You'd think Pp. Franny is running for office, wouldn't you?
Maybe that's what he thinks is the summum bonum.

Bellarmine most certainly does not suggest that the heretic pope must be “declared incorrigible” prior to losing his office, nor does he assert that the pope-turned-heretic is deposed “by Christ Our Lord.” Rather, his position is perfectly straightforward:
.... For in the first place, that a manifest heretic would be ipso facto deposed, is proven from authority and reason … A Pope who is a manifest heretic, ceases in himself to be Pope and head, just as he ceases in himself to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church: whereby, he can be judged and punished by the Church. (cf. St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice)
Read that again slowly, paying close attention to the order of things.
According to Bellarmine, the manifest heretic, by virtue of his heresy, “ceases in himself” (i.e., of his own doing) to be pope.
That is to say, he deposes himself, ipso facto, by the very fact of his heresy. Bellarmine even offers the analogy (more appropriately, the parallel) of a man who cuts himself off from the body of the Church by his heresy, a severance executed not by the Lord but by the man himself. It is only after this act of self-severance that the Church may move to judge and punish him (the former pope).

NOT POPE
please sstop using the word pope when refering to Jorge Bergolio
Thanks

I guess we just ignore the part where God expects us to believe in His Son.
Bergoglio’s latest heresy is so utterly incompatible with the Catholic faith that even the largely complacent cannot help but take notice.
To be clear, it’s not concern for the salvation of souls that motivates them to spin the unspinnable here; it’s actually the exact opposite.
.....All religions are a path to arrive at God. They are, of a comparison, like different languages, different idioms, to arrive there. But God is God for everyone. And since God is God for everyone, we are all children of God. “But my God is more important than yours!” Is this true?

NOT POPE.

Archbishop Chaput: Francis Singapore Remark "extraordinary Flawed"
Archbishop Emeritus Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, USA, weighs in on Francis' Singapore controversy (FirstThings.com, Sept. 16). Key points.
- Francis has the habit of saying things that leave listeners confused.
- In Singapore, he suggested that all religions are paths to God.
- That all religions have equal weight is an extraordinarily flawed idea for the Successor of Peter to appear to support.
- Religions are not equal in their content or consequences. They have very different conceptions of who God is and what that means for the nature of the human person and society.
- St Paul condemns false religions and proclaims Jesus Christ as the reality and fulfillment of the unknown God worshipped by the Greeks (Acts 17:22–31).
- Not all religions seek the same God, and some religions are both wrong and potentially dangerous, materially and spiritually.
- We are called Christians because we believe that Jesus Christ is God.
- To borrow a thought from C. S. Lewis, if Jesus were just one of many, he'd also be a liar, because he emphatically claimed that, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
- A loving God may accept the worship of any sincere and charitable heart — but salvation comes only through His only Son, Jesus Christ.
- To suggest that Catholics follow a path to God more or less similar to that of other religions is to deprive martyrdom of its meaning. Why give one's life for Christ when other paths can lead to the same God?
Archdiocese of Burgos to Evict Poor Clares from Convent
Archbishop Mario Iceta of Burgos, northern Spain, announced on September 16 that he has filed a legal request to evict the Poor Clare nuns of Belorado in Burgos.
In May, they declared themselves in rebellion against the Vatican and stated that Francis is not the pope.
"After a reasonable waiting period and after making sure that the former nuns are not willing to change their decision, our legal department has filed the corresponding lawsuit in the court of Briviesca,” ArchiBurgos.es wrote on September 17.
It seems that the convent doesn't belong to a civil entity of the nuns, but to the Poor Clares Federation. Attempts by the nuns to transform the convent into a civil association and thus retain control of the building have failed.
By BISHOP JOSEPH STRICKLAND
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“We adore Thee, O Christ. and we praise Thee, because by Thy Holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.” This familiar prayer offered as part of the Stations of the Cross is familiar to Catholics, and well it should be. It succinctly expresses our faith, and the unique reality of Jesus Christ—God’s Divine Son—as the one Savior of all humanity.
We are obliged to adore and praise Jesus Christ because He is God’s Son, and because He has brought salvation to our fallen state. We must cling tenaciously to the truth that only Jesus Christ is Savior, and that He lived, suffered, died, and rose for all humanity for all time. His loving sacrifice of His own life in order to redeem us is the greatest gift that humanity has ever received.
This simple prayer expresses the core of our faith that we are obliged to proclaim to the world if we wish to live as His disciples. The Church exists to proclaim this Truth in order to point the human family, from every nation and race to the means of our salvation. There is no other name by which we can be saved, and no other movement, religion, or human endeavor will save us…
Pope Francis (sic), recently speaking to a group of young people in Singapore, made this statement:
“One of the things that struck me about all of you here is your ability to engage in interreligious dialogue, and this is very important. If you, in the beginnings of your conversations and debates, start to say things like, ‘My religion is more important than yours,’ ‘No, mine is more important than yours,’ that sort of thing, where will this lead us? Because if we start to fight amongst ourselves and say, ‘My religion is more important than yours,’ ‘My religion is true, yours is not,’ where will that lead us? Someone respond. Where would it lead us? It’s okay to discuss. Every religion is a way to arrive at God. To make an example or a comparison, they are like different languages in order to arrive at God. But God is God for all – and if God is God for all, then we are all sons and daughters of God. ‘But my God is more important than your God.’ Is that true? There is only one God, and each of us is a language, so to speak, in order to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian – they are different paths.”
This statement is theological heresy – it is called indifferentism. Indifferentism makes the claim that all religions are of equal value and all lead to the same divine truth. This directly contradicts the Church’s doctrine that there is one true faith, and that the Catholic Church is the only path to salvation…
