THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT. - Friday of the 3rd week of Lent

 1. The greatest command.
      The Pharisees would often question Christ, not to learn but to entrap Him. The Sadducees were more sincere. They were learners of the law and there were too many laws to study. And one of them approached Christ and to simplify their learning wanted to know which is the greatest among the many commandments of God.
     Christ gave three commands. Theologians often mentions only two, the second and third, and often miss the first most important one. Christ answered;  'the first of all the commandment is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.' Christ said that there is only one God; there is no other god but Him alone. There is only one religion; the religion of this one God. All the others are man made.
      Note that Pope Francis said that all the gods of the different religions are gods and these gods can save their souls. Or that all the gods of different religions are one and the same god. Or that all religions should unite and only have one god. He can't seem to make up his mind. 
       Thus Pope Francis discourages people to transfer from one religion to another. He discourages members of other religion to transfer to the Catholic Church as he prevented his friend Tony Parker, an Anglican, from becoming a Catholic. And Pope Francis prohibited Catholics from evangelising to convert souls to the Catholic Faith. He clearly goes against this first greatest command of God. Well, if you recall Pope Francis does not believe in obeying the commands of the Catholic God which he does not believe in. In short, Pope Francis does not believe in the mystery of the Three Persons in one God, which he calls the Catholic God which he does not believe in. 
     Not believing in this first great commandment, St. James writes, Pope Francis surely will not believe in any other Catholic truths. 

2.    Christ proceeded to the second greatest command; 'thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.' Christ said, this is the first command; but as enumerated in the Gospel, this is the second command. You must first believe in one God before you can love this one God. If you believe that there are many gods as Pope Francis believe, you will not be able to love him with all your soul. Because you will have to divide your love to all the other gods. This second command is based on the fact that there is only one God, a Catholic God.      
     How can you love God as described above? By obeying all His commands; 'if you love Me, keep My commandments (both from the Old Testament and from the New Testament.)' Pope Francis had disobeyed the 6th and 9th command of God in the Old Testament; and disobeyed the command on family planning from the New Testament as can be clearly seen in 'Amores laetitia.' 

     Without obeying the first and second commands of God, it will be impossible for Pope Francis to obey the third greatest command, to love your neighbour. How do you love your neighbours? By teaching and encouraging them to obey God's command. Pope Francis is teaching the whole world to disobey God's commands calling these commands 'stifling.' Since love of God and neighbor consists in obeying the commands of Christ in the New Testament, Pope Francis disobedience of God's commands makes him unable to love God and neighbor. 

      He does not believe there is only one God alone. He does not love God. He does not love his neighbour. He is no Christian and certainly not a Catholic as the 'dubia' suspects. 

3. You are not far from the kingdom of God.
     The Scribe believed that there is the Lord God alone. And that God should be loved with all you mind, soul, strength and heart; and that we must love our neighbours as we love ourselves. The Scribe believed that these are the three greatest commands of God. And Christ said; 'you are not far from the kingdom of heaven.' But he was not yet inside the kingdom of God, the Catholic Church. Why? Because he had not yet put into practice what he believed; so he was not yet inside the kingdom of God. But he was not far from the kingdom; i.e. he was near because he believe correctly that the above were the greatest commands of God.
     If Pope Francis does not believe in the first command, if he is not obeying the second command and could not obey the third command.......where is he in relation to the kingdom of God? Basing it on the answer of Christ to the Scribe, Pope Francis is not yet inside the kingdom of God, i.e. the Catholic Church. He is not near the kingdom of God. And unlike the Scribe who was not far....he seems to be nowhere around the kingdom of God, the Catholic Church.

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT. - Friday of the 3rd week of Lent

 1. The greatest command.
      The Pharisees would often question Christ, not to learn but to entrap Him. The Sadducees were more sincere. They were learners of the law and there were too many laws to study.

     Not believing in this first great commandment, St. James writes, Pope Francis surely will not believe in any other Catholic truths. 

2.    Christ proceeded to the second greatest command; 'thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.' Christ said, this is the first command; but as enumerated in the Gospel, this is the second command. You must first believe in one God before you can love this one God. If you believe that there are many gods as Pope Francis believe, you will not be able to love him with all your soul. Because you will have to divide your love to all the other gods. This second command is based on the fact that there is only one God, a Catholic God.      
     How can you love God as described above? By obeying all His commands; 'if you love Me, keep My commandments (both from the Old Testament and from the New Testament.)' Pope Francis had disobeyed the 6th and 9th command of God in the Old Testament; and disobeyed the command on family planning from the New Testament as can be clearly seen in 'Amores laetitia.'

3. You are not far from the kingdom of God.
     The Scribe believed that there is the Lord God alone. And that God should be loved with all you mind, soul, strength and heart; and that we must love our neighbours as we love ourselves. The Scribe believed that these are the three greatest commands of God. And Christ said; 'you are not far from the kingdom of heaven.' But he was not yet inside the kingdom of God, the Catholic Church. Why? Because he had not yet put into practice what he believed; so he was not yet inside the kingdom of God. But he was not far from the kingdom; i.e. he was near because he believe correctly that the above were the greatest commands of God.
     If Pope Francis does not believe in the first command, if he is not obeying the second command and could not obey the third command.......where is he in relation to the kingdom of God? Basing it on the answer of Christ to the Scribe, Pope Francis is not yet inside the kingdom of God, i.e. the Catholic Church. He is not near the kingdom of God. And unlike the Scribe who was not far....he seems to be nowhere around the kingdom of God, the Catholic Church.

Thursday - 3rd Week of Lent. The deaf and dumb.

 1. The deaf and dumb - the devil's trade mark.
      St. Thomas of Aquinas commented that the devil had these trade marks in Scripture; he is the cause of deafness and dumbness. Thus possession by the devil had always been the cause of deafness and dumbness.
     This is not physical deafness or dumbness but something spiritual, i.e. deafness in the inability to hear and keep in mind the Words of God. And dumbness in the inability to speak, teach or preach the Words of God.

2. All are possessed. 
     Because of original sin, all are possessed by the devil and Christ described the devil as the prince of the world, i.e. people living worldly lives. This is the reason why Baptism at the earliest age is recommended.
     The Sacrament of Baptism begins with an exorcism for this reason. And during the whole Lenten season, whenever Christ went about to preach the first thing He does is to drive away the devil. Otherwise the listeners will be deaf to the Words of God.

3. Exorcism at the beginning of Baptism.
     The child is exorcised at the beginning of Baptism precisely because he could be possessed by the devil. Baptism, indeed, drives away the devil, but when the child reaches the age of reason and sins, the devil returns, usually, with 7 deadlier devils. 
      Then, there is the fact that Vatican II changed so much the Liturgy of the Sacrament so that the exorcism at the beginning of Baptism does not seem to work, the devil told some exorcists. 

4. A strong man.
    Christ said that if a strong man enters a house, the house owner will not be able to stop him from taking away his resources. So it goes when the devil enters a soul devoid of the theological virtue of Faith, Hope and Charity. The devil can ransack the house. An exorcist, too,  must have these three virtues otherwise he  cannot exorcise. He will be a play thing of the devil.
     If the exorcist or the possessed person has Christ in him, they will be the stronger man who can take away all the possession of the devil, the vices and the devil himself.
      Catholics are supposed to have Faith, Hope and Charity. Candidates to the priesthood ought to be truly Catholic. The Pope must have these three virtues.

5. What is Faith.
     Faith is knowing all the commands of Christ as found in the New Testament. The cured deaf man is the man of Faith. Many exorcists do not know all the commands of Christ. Even Pope Francis showed deafness in that he has gone against both the commands of God in the Old Testament and of Christ in the New Testament. So Pope Francis and many exorcists are considered deaf in that they seem not to have heard the commands of God. They would not have Faith, the first theological virtue that makes us Catholic. They do not have the Catholic Faith. So many exorcisms are mere vaudevilles wherein the devil pretends to be exorcised but in truth he remains in the possessed person. Pope Francis' reported exorcism in St. Peter's square looks like a pubic relation stunt authored by the devil. Proof? His great ignorance of the commands of Christ which he repeatedly disobey proven by the 'dubia.'

6. What is Charity.
     While Faith is knowledge of the commands of Christ, Charity is obedience to the commands of Christ. If we are ignorant of the commands of Christ, we would surely not be able to obey them. Pope Francis had verbally preached to disregard the commands of God. He had even preached that evangelising is a lot of nonsense. He is behaving like a dumb man for not having preached the supernatural truths of Christ and had even preached for others to disregard preaching the commands of Christ. That is perfect dumbness. 

7. Christ exorcised the deaf and the dumb.
    Christ, Himself, had described these days as an era without Faith and the waxing of Charity. No Faith and no Charity. That is like saying 'no Catholics,' because the spiritual sign of a true Catholic is the presence of the theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. 
    Catholics that have Faith, Hope and Charity have the Blessed Trinity in their soul. It is the Blessed Trinity in the soul of a Catholic that makes a man possess a stronger man within his soul that will enable him to drive the devil out. 
     
8. The four visible sign and the three invisible sign. 
     The four visible sign of true Catholicity are One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. The three invisible sign of Catholicity are Faith, Hope and Charity. Most Catholics have neither. And a thorough study of Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church will show that Pope Francis does not have the visible and invisible signs of Catholicity. Thus the 'dubia' have reasons to doubt his Catholicity and even the validity of his Papacy. And we should, also, because of the proofs....the signs of Catholicity are absent. But.......we, also do not have those signs. So we should worry more that we do not have those signs than worry about Pope Francis. Anyway, he has the whole Jesuit order to help him. We do not have that help; not our parish priest, not our bishops. 

9. True Catholic Church.....please help!
     The news are filled with  Catholics being martyred; in the continent of Africa where many have returned to the diabolical religions; in the middle east where the US and Nato soldiers are helping revolutionaries  kill Catholics; in China where the Vatican had exposed the underground Church to communist persecution. Where are the martyrs blood going? To the establishment of the Church today. The Church today is not being constructed by human missionaries nor by bishops. It is being constructed by the blood of martyrs. It will be made up, not by ignorant or imperfect Catholics . The Gospel states that it will be made up with perfect Catholics. No one can built a Church like that except God Himself. 
     The Church today seems to be deaf and dumb. Rightly had Pope Paul VI announced that Satan had entered the Church. It should had been described more properly that Satan had possessed the church. Or the gates of hell have prevailed against it. But that is impossible. The gates of hell cannot prevail against it. Maybe, the gates of hell prevailed agains it because that church is no longer the Catholic Church. It has become the church of the deaf and the dumb where most are not listening to the Words of God and no one is preaching the Words of God. All you hear is global warming and  about accepting immigrants.

The 'DUBIA', a test of Catholicity.

  1.  The 'dubia' is a test of Catholicity.
       The  'dubia' is a fraternal correction informing someone that he is diverting away from the Catholic Faith and heading towards heresy. Depending, therefore, on the answer of the addressee, in this case Pope Francis, his reply will show if he is a Catholic or not.
        If it is proven that he is not a Catholic, then he cannot continue sitting in the seat of St. Peter because to be Pope one must be a Catholic. The 'dubia' is raising doubts as to the Catholicity and to the very Papacy of Pope Francis. Many do not seem to realise that the purpose of the 'dubia' is either to legitimise the Papacy of Pope Francis or to depose him as an anti-Pope, depending on his answer. 
         His refusal to answer is already a strong hint that his statement noted from 'Amores laetitia' is against the official teachings of the Catholic Church. However, with his refusal to answer, the formal judgment cannot be given because his formal response is awaited. But even at this very moment, Pope Francis stands over heretical grounds. His statement on the 'Holy Communion of remarried Catholics'  is against Catholic teachings. His statement cannot be found  in the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. And his act wherein he surreptitiously included the Apostolic Exhortation in the 'Acta Apostolici Sedis' is clearly an effort to include heresy into the Magisterium. He cannot do this, precisely, because there is a 'dubium' raised by the Cardinals. The 'dubium' is, in effect, a demand for Pope Francis to prove that his statement is in accordance with Catholic teachings and, therefore, he is a Catholic.

2. Pope Francis must prove that he is a Catholic by proving that his teaching, especially in 'amores laetitia' regarding Holy Communion for the remarried is official Catholic teaching. He must quote accepted Catholic authorities like the New Testament and the writings of the Fathers of the Church. As far as I can recall my theology, Pope Francis' statement allowing adulterers to receive Holy Communion cannot be found either in Scriptures nor in the writings of the Fathers of the Church. In fact, Scriptures and the Fathers says the opposite. So the 'dubia' is a request for Pope Francis to prove that he is a Catholic. Now, there is a doubt that he is,  due to his statement that seems to go against Catholic teachings. 

3. If there is a doubt on the Catholicity of a Pope.....
    we should also doubt the Catholicity of bishops, priests and laymen who side with the statement of the Pope. If a Pope can erroneously believe that he is a Catholic when he is not, then bishops, priests, nuns and laymen can commit the same mistake of erroneously believing that they are Catholics when they are not.

4. Fortunately...
    There is a way by which Catholics can know if they are Catholic. In the Catechism it is described as the 'four visible signs of the true Church,' enumerated in the Nicene Creed; One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. These are visible signs which all men can see. It is precisely meant for all men to see so all men can know which is the true Church. 
      All Catholics are obliged to show these visible signs to all men. This is the way Catholics confess Christ before men. The Pope should be the first to show these signs. 
       All men are obliged to know what are these signs so they can know which is the true Church and who are the members of this Church. The members make up the Church so these signs should be seen in the members. It must appear in the Pope who is the head of the Church. 
       What if it cannot be found in Pope Francis? And this is the reason for the 'dubia.' The Catholic Church cannot find the four visible signs of Catholicity in the Pope. The 'dubia' is the Church's notice to Pope Francis that the four signs cannot be found in him. 
        The problem is even bigger. These four visible signs cannot be found in many seemingly Catholic dioceses, parishes, religious orders, religious communities.....and even in Catholic Families. 
         These signs are visible signs. If you cannot find it, it is because it is not there. That simple. It is certain that Pope Francis does not have the four visible signs. Everybody has the instrument to check this for themselves. Therefore, the 'dubium' is a doubt raised that he is not even a Catholic. And since non-Catholics cannot be Pope, the doubt insinuates that he is not the Pope. 

5. The four visible signs is the only easy way anyone can prove that he is a Catholic. There are many other ways but they are spiritual signs and not available to all but only to those who have Faith. 
      If there is reason to doubt the Catholicity of Pope Francis, for more reason is there reason to doubt the Catholicity of all Catholics. So????? Well, then all Catholics should check if they are Catholic. And don't do anything else until we have checked on this. SSPX, don't join Rome until it is proven that Rome is Catholic. Underground Church in China, don't join the Patriotic Church until it is proven that they are Catholic and that the Vatican who is ordering you to integrate with the Patriotic church is truly Catholic. Orthodox and Anglicans, don't convert to Catholicism until you have proven that they are Catholic.  Catholics, do not be complacent into believing that you are Catholic just because you have a certificate saying so. 

6. Pick up the proof
     Pick up your catechism and read that the true Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Study these four signs using the Fathers of the Church because these four signs are difficult to understand and even more difficult to apply to any entity. It is for this reason that Pope Francis and the Jesuits find it difficult to prove Pope Francis is Catholic. It is for the same reason that most bishops will find it impossible to prove that they are Catholic. And, of course, the same goes for the poor layman.

7. Everything is on hold. 
     We cannot consider Pope Francis as Pope until he gives his answer to the 'dubium' and prove that he is Catholic. But he had given his answer as early as  the Synod of Bishop of 2015. In that Synod, Pope Francis, himself, sponsored this questionable statement to the Synod and the majority of the Synod Fathers disapproved it precisely because it was not Catholic doctrine. 
      The Synod Fathers who rejected Pope Francis' proposal are the same ones who presented the 'dubia' for the same reason in that what is written in 'amores laetitia'  is not Catholic doctrine. Remember, majority of the Synod Fathers rejected this same proposal, i.e. to allow the remarried receive Holy Communion. Sadly,  the minority pushed for this heretical proposal among them are Cardinal Kasper, Baldisseri, and Tagle. 
      So in effect there was already a schism with Pope Francis and his gang leaving the Catholic Church with their erroneous proposal. While Cardinal Burke with the Polish and African bishops sticking to their Catholic Faith. 
      Since then, Pope Francis has insisted on this proposal until he simply promulgated it through an Apostolic exhortation 'amores laetitia.' Pope Francis' proposal is evidently heretical during the Synod of Bishop. It seems to be heretical even now. 
     So everything is on hold. But a great explosion is expected and millions of souls will be affected. 

8. So what do we do?
    Put on hold our belief on the present papacy because there a standing unanswered 'dubium'.  Concentrate on learning two things. First, find out what are the signs of true Catholicity. Secondly, find out if you are inside the Catholic Church; these are the same two things the 'dubia' is checking on the Pope; does Pope Francis have the four visible signs of Catholicity? And is he inside the Catholic Church?
      We should, first, ask ourselves these same questions. Because many bishops, priest, religious and laymen have not asked themselves and, therefore, they do not know the answer. Thus many bishops cannot prove that they are Catholic.

        The problem is even bigger. These four visible signs cannot be found in many seemingly Catholic dioceses, parishes, religious orders, religious communities.....and even in Catholic Families. 
         These signs are visible signs. If you cannot find it, it is because it is not there. That simple. It is certain that Pope Francis does not have the four visible signs. Everybody has the instrument to check this for themselves. Therefore, the 'dubium' is a doubt raised that he is not even a Catholic. And since non-Catholics cannot be Pope, the doubt insinuates that he is not the Pope. 

5. The four visible signs is the only easy way anyone can prove that he is a Catholic. There are many other ways but they are spiritual signs and not available to all but only to those who have Faith. 
      If there is reason to doubt the Catholicity of Pope Francis, for more reason is there reason to doubt the Catholicity of all Catholics. So????? Well, then all Catholics should check if they are Catholic. And don't do anything else until we have checked on this. SSPX, don't join Rome until it is proven that Rome is Catholic. Underground Church in China, don't join the Patriotic Church until it is proven that they are Catholic and that the Vatican who is ordering you to integrate with the Patriotic church is truly Catholic. Orthodox and Anglicans, don't convert to Catholicism until you have proven that they are Catholic.  Catholics, do not be complacent into believing that you are Catholic just because you have a certificate saying so. 

6. Pick up the proof
     Pick up your catechism and read that the true Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Study these four signs using the Fathers of the Church because these four signs are difficult to understand and even more difficult to apply to any entity. It is for this reason that Pope Francis and the Jesuits find it difficult to prove Pope Francis is Catholic. It is for the same reason that most bishops will find it impossible to prove that they are Catholic. And, of course, the same goes for the poor layman.

7. Everything is on hold. 
     We cannot consider Pope Francis as Pope until he gives his answer to the 'dubium' and prove that he is Catholic. But he had given his answer as early as  the Synod of Bishop of 2015. In that Synod, Pope Francis, himself, sponsored this questionable statement to the Synod and the majority of the Synod Fathers disapproved it precisely because it was not Catholic doctrine. 
      The Synod Fathers who rejected Pope Francis' proposal are the same ones who presented the 'dubia' for the same reason in that what is written in 'amores laetitia'  is not Catholic doctrine. Remember, majority of the Synod Fathers rejected this same proposal, i.e. to allow the remarried receive Holy Communion. Sadly,  the minority pushed for this heretical proposal among them are Cardinal Kasper, Baldisseri, and Tagle. 
      So in effect there was already a schism with Pope Francis and his gang leaving the Catholic Church with their erroneous proposal. While Cardinal Burke with the Polish and African bishops sticking to their Catholic Faith. 
      Since then, Pope Francis has insisted on this proposal until he simply promulgated it through an Apostolic exhortation 'amores laetitia.' Pope Francis' proposal is evidently heretical during the Synod of Bishop. It seems to be heretical even now. 
     So everything is on hold. But a great explosion is expected and millions of souls will be affected. 

8. So what do we do?
    Put on hold our belief on the present papacy because there a standing unanswered 'dubium'.  Concentrate on learning two things. First, find out what are the signs of true Catholicity. Secondly, find out if you are inside the Catholic Church; these are the same two things the 'dubia' is checking on the Pope; does Pope Francis have the four visible signs of Catholicity? And is he inside the Catholic Church?
      We should, first, ask ourselves these same questions. Because many bishops, priest, religious and laymen have not asked themselves and, therefore, they do not know the answer. Thus many bishops cannot prove that they are Catholic.

The 'DUBIA.'

 1. The 'dubia.'
      The news on the 'dubia' is the center of Catholic  news today. With it falls the Papacy and the entire image of the Catholic Church. But not the Catholic Church. Yet Catholics, specially bishops around the world, are not minding it. The 'dubia' could mean the salvation or damnation of many souls.

2. What is the 'dubia?'
     The 'dubia' is a note containing a canonical fraternal correction to a man sitting in the seat of St. Peter. It is a notice to him that he has made a statement that most Catholics think is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church. The papal statement, therefore, is  perceived as a heresy showing that the man seated in the seat of Peter is not a Catholic and, therefore, disqualifies him from the Papacy. The 'dubia' is requesting for a clarification so the Church may judge if it is according to Catholic doctrine or not. For such a person to insist on his error, if there is,  will make him an anti-pope. And to follow him and even render him any recognition makes others an accomplice to his heresy.

3. Why is the 'dubia' concentrating on only one error?
     St. James had written, disobedience to one command of Christ is disobedience to all the commands of Christ. And St. Augustine added, error in one doctrine is error in all doctrine. 
     It is the very essence of the theological virtue of Faith that it gives a soul perfect knowledge of the teachings of Christ.  Based on the teaching on the 'unity of doctrine,' which states that if a soul has a perfect knowledge of one truth, he will certainly have perfect knowledge of all truths because all truths are interconnected with each other. An error in one truth will affect the rest of the truths.
      This theological principle is one of the proofs that most Catholics do not really have the Catholic Faith because they do not know many truths. And ignorance of one truth is ignorance of all truths. 

4. The 'dubia' centres on one truth. 
      In the 'dubia' the authors were questioning Pope Francis on only one truth. If he is wrong in this one truth, he will be wrong on all the rest of the truths he is teaching. 
      It, also, works the other way around. Because Pope Francis is committing many errors, like hell is empty, pagans go to heaven, repentance is not needed, ....etc. then his one teaching in 'Amores laetitia' on the morality of the remarried receiving Holy Communion will certainly be wrong. 

5. The authors of the 'dubia.'
     Cardinals are the ones who elect the Pope. Only the cardinals can nullify the election of a Pope or depose a Pope.  The author of the 'dubia' are cardinals. Bishops and priests and laymen had also signed the 'dubia' to show that the question involved is truly a Catholic issue and not a mere opinion or personal issue of one person.

6. The 'dubia' deals with a principle of Faith.
     The 'dubia' deals with Catholic morals and/or dogmas. The question is directed to all Catholics, from Pope to layman. So it must be answered by all. It is as basic as the question, 'is there a Catholic God?' All Catholics must answer that question. Yes or no. And depending on one's answer one is a Catholic or not. Pope Francis had answered that there is no Catholic God which gives us a hint that his teachings in 'amores laetitia' will certainly be wrong. 
     The 'dubia' is asking Pope Francis a question written in his Apostolic exhortation; 'can Catholics who had been separated from their spouse, and have remarried while the spouse is still living, received worthily Holy Communion? What is the Catholic teaching? The 'dubia' has been given more than 500 days ago and he has not given an answer. If Pope Francis is a Catholic he should know the answer and should have given his answer immediately.
     I asked the same question to three teen agers and they answered the same question within two minutes. How come Pope Francis has not answered it after more than 500 days? Why hasn't the Jesuit order to whom Pope Francis belong, who have many theologians, many colleges, many periodicals and many priests have not answered it for his sake all this time, while teen agers can answer it in two minutes?
     As long as Pope Francis has not answered the canonical clarification officially presented to him by the 'dubia' he cannot be considered as the valid Pope. Because if his answer is that the statement in 'amores laetitia' is a Catholic doctrine, the entire Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church says that he is wrong; his statement in his 'amores laetitia' is not Catholic doctrine. 
     For Pope Francis to hold a teaching contrary to Catholic doctrine disqualifies him from the Papal office. He should resign. If he insists on staying in the papal throne he would, in effect, be an anti-pope.

7. Did Pope Francis answer the 'dubia?'
     Officially, no. Why hasn't he answered it? Because he knows that his answer, that it is Catholic doctrine, is wrong. But he answered it unofficially by surreptitiously including the document into the 'Acta apostolici Sedis' or the AAS. The AAS is a book that contains all the official teachings of the Catholic Church. By surreptitiously including 'amores laetitia' into the AAS he had deceitfully included his error as part of the doctrine of Catholic 
Church. That does not make his error a doctrine of the Catholic Church. It is still an error. It is still a heresy which makes him now a heretic, disqualified from the Papal office and, therefore, makes him an anti-pope. Nobody made him like that but he himself. 

8. Guilty as accomplishes.
     Remarried Catholics who has no annulment or are not living as brothers and sisters cannot receive Holy Communion worthily; this is the moral and dogmatic teaching of the Catholic church. In his 'amores laetitia' Pope Francis went against this Catholic teaching. But since this is Catholic doctrine, every bishop, priest or layman who agrees with Pope Francis is equally guilty of sin against Faith called heresy. No one can be indifferent to this statement. It is an article of Faith; all must take side, for or against it.
     Pope Francis has not officially answered the 'dubia.' So he cannot be judged. But many bishops, priest and laymen had embraced the heretical interpretation of 'amores laetitia.' Thus have become heretics even ahead of Pope Francis, its author. 
     The Catholic  Bishop's conference of the Philippines in their recent Cebu meeting had voted secretly and the majority approved the suspected heresy in 'amores laetitia.' Many bishops from the US, Europe and South America had already approved the heretical statement and had implemented it in their dioceses, like in Germany. These bishops are leading their dioceses into heresy thus becoming Protestants. 
     Everyone must check on the Catholicity of their bishops  and priests because many bishops, like Pope Francis, finds it impossible to prove that they are Catholics, though there are many ways written in Scriptures and discussed by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church on how to prove oneself to be truly Catholic. 
     Remember that the status of the 'dubia' is this; that the legitimacy of the Papacy of Pope Francis is on hold until he answers the 'dubia.' Sadly, however, he had already informally answered the 'dubia,' during the Bishop's Synod of 2015 and recently by including the document in the AAS. We have a Catholic Church where the Pope and many of the bishops supporting his stand cannot prove that they are  Catholics. 
     By supporting Pope Francis' stand even before he responds make these bishops go against Catholic teaching.  We have a catholic church that has turned Protestant, just like in Europe during the time of Martin Luther. Bishops, priest and laymen became Protestants without knowing it. It is happening again today, as prophesied by Christ during this Lenten Season. Lent is happening again and nobody knows it.  All the priest of that era, the Pharisees, Scribes and the high priest were all against Christ. Disobedience to one command of Christ (like Thou shall not commit adultery) is disobedience to all the commands of God. Disbelief in one dogma is disbelief in all the dogmas. The Catholic Church has not only become Protestant. It has become pagan by the  very acts of our own bishops and Pope.
