He is only HUMAN, subject to mistakes and any shortcomings except on faith and morals. He is no perfect, he is like us, he is also doing some basic acts that we do like eating, laughing, bathing, etc. Allow me to highlight some titles such as Doctors, Engineers, Teachers, Accountants or whatever. If any of these title belongs to you, how would you play or act on it? Let's say you are an Engineer, that means you're an expert when it comes to the computations or calculations of the strength of materials used for building construction. It also denotes, you can barely commit bigger margin of error because if you do, your project will collapse and may endanger many lives. However, your expertise to that aspect does not excuse you to the tendency of commiting mistakes about the matters outside it. Similarly, the expertise of the Supreme Pontiff lies greatly on faith and morals for having studied for decades on philosophy, theology, masteral and doctorate with the fusion of his real life experiences with the missions and ministries he's been with.
But for the heresies he's been accuse with, what is the criteria you're using? What documents? And who, in line with the curia or the college of cardinals, is saying such heresy as valid? I have viewed a video where they solely based their accusation, I guess, it was a bishop from the other catholic sect from the East line. They cut the words of Francis line by line and was commented and declared by the said Bishop as heretic. As per study of hermeneutics, it is a style where a reader is trying to analyze the parts inorder to understand the whole context but what they did is totally different, it was fully skeptical and only trying to find fault on the words of the Pope.
Lastly, I know that you know the politics within the Church, but if it concerns with the style of the leadership of the Supreme Pontiff, then the problem is not with the Pope but in your behavior and belief clouded with misgivings and conspiracies. We should accept and embrace that there is no such kind of perfect leadership that will suit to the likings of the world. We are the lay faithful and we owe the Pope OUR OBEDIENCE!
To the Author of this blog, I love reading articles about God. But I have one suggestion if you don't mind. Can you use the pronoun "He" and not "he", for God all the time? I guess that's the proper way. Thank you. God bless!
