For two thousand years, the one constant and unchanging aspect of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church has been Moral Clarity.
Has that unique Catholic absolute moral clarity finally come to an end?
The world says, there are no absolutes. And that "institutions" (including the Church) in and of themselves are "bad".
Only one of these positions can be correct. Not both.
Now, with Pope Francis, we have entered an era of Papal Dubiosity. All that has gone before is now up for questioning. Regarding the Family, which is the primal foundation of human society, we have now began to discuss it to death.
We have seen discussions, leading to pre-synod synods, an actual synod, a post-synod synod, and the discussions just continue, because nothing discussed has been settled. Questions were raised and arguments put forth, and the world awaited a decisive pronouncement in the form of a Papal Exhortation.
But then the Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, was indecisive. Instead of confirming the unchanged moral truth, Pope Francis more or less threw the decision back to the individual Bishops to handle in a more "Pastoral" interpretation, as seen by each Bishop to be appropriate, in each diverse and different diocese throughout the whole world.
Which raises the question, has Catholic Denominationalism now entered the Church, and is each Diocese to become it's own independent "Church"?
The Five Dubia (Doubts) of the Four Cardinals.
To clarify original moral teaching on the Family, and to make certain that it has not changed, four Cardinals have sent five direct and very simple yes-or-no questions to Pope Francis, to which he is either unable or unwilling to reply. Other Cardinals have attacked the four Cardinals for even asking the five simple questions. But none of them answered any of the five questions either. Nor did any of them address the fact that none of the questions should even be questions.
The four signers of the five dubia:
And here are the five simple yes-or-no questions that any and every Roman Catholic Cleric, of any rank, should be willing and able to answer, immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Now, I'm just a layman, but I have no problem answering these questions. Why would any other Catholic? Why would any Bishop? Why would any Pope?
It seems to me that the only thing under question here is absolute Truth. Does absolute Truth exist, or not? Yes or no.
I throw the question open to any Bishop; any Bishop at all.
The duties of the Bishop are to govern, to teach and to sanctify.
If you are a Catholic Bishop, it is your bound duty to teach us, and to clarify this situation for us. We are not supposed to clarify it for you.
"...when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?"--Luke 18:8

Michael:
So far, all I hear from that quarter are crickets.
Based solely on a literal interpretation of the pertinent paragraphs of Amoris Laetitia, I supplied my own answers to the five doubts, as per the following:
Very simple; nothing to it. I just don't see what's so tough about this.
But then, who am I? I'm just a typical run-of-the-mill Christian, non-college educated, white, male, heterosexual, who is forever stuck in a basket of deplorables; a "Bitter Clinger", clinging to my Bible and my guns.
Of course it would be simple to me. I'm not educated enough to be confused.

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and
Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in
thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life:
and few there are that find it! Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Papal Imperfection Pages.
While
Popes enjoy the charism of Infallibility when teaching on faith and
morals, as established in the unchanging Deposit of Faith, they remain
human, and imperfect, as was Peter and the original Apostles. Popes can
err when not teaching on faith and morals, and whenever
speaking on matters outside the Deposit of Faith. Two of these areas,
particularly troubling in these days, involve Papal favor shown to areas
of Godless Marxist ideology, and to the belligerent, invasive,
domineering and menacing false religion of Islam.
Who will drain the Catholic Swamp, and how, exactly? Trump is draining the Washington Swamp; what about the Catholic Swamp? Our last perfectly capable Pope abdicated for apparent political reasons, certainly not health. Was he Swamped?

There is No Hell, because Pope Francis said so. Right? "No one can be condemned for ever, because that is not the logic of the Gospel!" --Pope Francis
Popephobia: A Catholic Mental Disorder. (I think I have it.) Popephobia is related to American Obamaphobia, and German Merkelphobia. They are all closely related social disorders. (Could they be a Social WMD?)

I must oppose the pope on globalism, but not on faith and morals. Recent comments of the pope on globalism, calling for a world political authority, is absolutely the last thing the world needs.
The Smoke of Satan is in the Church in America; has it reached the Vatican too? The Smoke of Satan conceals the true object of the Progressive Agenda.

On the Vague Anti Authoritarianism of Pope Francis And the Relationship between Vague Anti Authoritarianism in High Places and Moral Depravity in Culture
Do we have an anti-American Pope? A Pro-Obama, Anti-Capitalist, Redistributionist, Utopian, Pro-Illegal Alien, quite consistently Anti-American, Pope Francis?
Delusional Pope Francis, molding world culture into one undefinable hodgepodge. Does the Pope want International Communism, or just a border-less, all inclusive, nonsensical, global non-culture?
The Religion Politics Nexus: If the Religion is not true, Politics become evil. For Martin Luther, Politics drove Religion. For Pope Francis, Religion drives Politics. Or does it?
Pope Francis just said WHAT? Excuse me? Can anyone out there help me reconcile what Pope Francis just said with Catholic Revealed Truth?
Marxists running the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Social Science? Died in the wool Marxists in the Vatican's P.A.S.S. No wonder Pope Francis favors the Socializing Frauds of "Sustainable Development", "Climate Change", etc.
Disorder and Confusion from the White House. And from the Vatican, too? The growing disorder in Obama's America, and in Pope Francis' Catholic Church.
Pope Francis receives an Open Letter calling for his Papal Resignation. "Year of Mercy" begins with an Open Letter: An Urgent Appeal to Pope Francis to Either Change Course or Renounce the Petrine Office.
Globalist Pope Francis' Marxist Program to End All Sovereign Nations. Our Globalist Pope leads the attack on all National Sovereignty to bring an end to all national borders in favor of Total Global Disorder, ostensibly for the good of the Planet and the Poor.
Looking more closely at Pope Francis' chosen Papal Pals. If a critter walks like a duck, talks like a duck and is constantly seen in the company of other ducks, the logical conclusion is that he most probably is a duck.
Globalist Stupidassism in the Vatican. Globalist Fraud after Hoax after Scam, all promoted in the Pontifical Academy of Science and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences "Workshop on Biological Extinction."
On the new (to me) heresy of Popalitry. False belief that a Pope can do no wrong leads to Pope Worship.
Do we have a Diabolically Controlled Pope? Every time he opens his mouth, he makes himself a fool.
The Dubia Aftermath shows that Pope Francis still doesn't get it. Non-response to the Dubia means a Warning; non-response to that means a second Warning, and finally, a non-Pope Council to depose the Pope.
