No, leg end, I was just unsure what relevance they were to the original question, or whether they could sway decisiveness on this issue one way or the other. Whilst I don�t require an invitation for an opinion, thank you for asking so personally. I am most willing to oblige.
So, the Pope is an ex-Nazi youth who knowingly harboured paedophiles. I know that, you know that, the whole blinking world knows that. It is not a revelation. I didn�t elect the Pope, I don�t particularly like him as a religious leader or what he has done in the past for his own obvious reasons, intentions and ambitions. Did I give the impression that I did??
But what has this to do with marriage and civil divorce and the doctrine of the Ecumenical Council?
If you take it upon yourself to consider this opinion visceral, then my work is done.
