[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.. same difference.  You can argue till cows come home if what the Pope said was official or not official. Matter of fact is he did not say what he said as Mr. Bergoglio, a private person but as a Pope. So even if it was done in more casual sense then you would like to believe, it still had been said by the Pope as the Pope. You can still argue that he has a right to an opinion as a private person but then he should make it clear to the rest of the world who is  not as educated in Canon Law as yourself to what his statement really is. Did he do that? 
He made a statement to the media. If he intended it to be private, then private it should be kept. I am pretty sure he could easily keep it private. So, if he made it public, then it became his public opinion for the public to know.

If however you still argue that his private opinion has no weight towards Church's stance on topics then there is a slight problem which also seems to be developing into a pattern?.. If I recall from the media reports, this is not the first time Pope offended in this way, he said some things in the past to the same effect, something that did not sit well with the most of the faithful. Let me see.. the hell.. the communion and divorced..
right?..

So when a Pope says something he either means it or he does not. If he does then still, the head of the Church said it. If he does not mean it
then why would he say that?

Don't you find it a little bit confusing for the average faithful? Again, if Pope said something, people hard it, so now if what you say is so, he should go back and say, I did not say it as a Pope, I said it as a private person.

Then again, even if you argue the officiality of Pope's statement you still have a problem. If the Pope says something as a private person that does not adhere to the current doctrine then what do you suppose people should do with it? Take it seriously? Ignore it? Search for the meaning? Or be confused?

You are still forgetting that an average person does not have the in=depth theological education and frankly it is not needed. The pope is the father, and so it is. Jesus came to this earth to make it simple, remember what he thought about the overly complicated laws and those who maintained them? I am pretty sure Jesus would not subscribe to the convoluted logic of the cannon law. His  message was simple. You are trying to complicate it again. Just as with the inquisition... do you really think even for the moment that Jesus was behind those who did those atrocious acts? I think not. Similarly when you say things that justify horrible acts, you either do it for fun or you are using Jesus name in vain.

Oy!

Holly Conclave!!!!  :shock:  :lol: 
You keep posting such  ridiculous statements like the two  above and below..
[b] Catholic theology is clear and objective.  + Catholicism isn’t based on sentimentalism or subjective feelings.[/b]

One can either appreciate the mastery of your fancy art of trying to inflict as much damage to the faithful under the guise of Christian , in as little words as possible, or one can try to put the logic where it belongs. However I feel that you are entirely capable of doing it yourself and it is pretty much waste of time. You are to intelligent not to know how unintelligent your posts are so that leaves one with the notions that you have some sort of agenda that I am pretty sure people do not want to be part of.
