Falibilitas Papae I

The first Pope to ever commit an error was Saint Peter. The testimony to this event was Saint Paul, whom I cite bellow: 11   And when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he clearly was wrong. * 12 For, until some people came from James, *  he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcised. k 13 And the rest of the Jews *  [also] acted hypocritically along with him, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. l 14 But when I saw that they were not on the right road in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all, m  “If you, though a Jew, are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?” This is not contrary to Papal infallibility but shows it's limits and is a way to show man's dependency in relation to  God. Mater Dei ora pro nobis

Original Sin, freedom and liberty

The first man, when God created him, he didn't know evil and, therefore, could only act in a good way, according to God's law. Know evil implied man would have to choose good instead of evil. That would be real freedom. There was a tree, with would give man the knoledge of good and evil. God forbade man eating it's fruits. But the devil convinced Eve and Adam to do so, believing they'd become superior to their creator. That's the original sin, and we all have to be cleaned from it if with baptism.

A brief commentary on Quo Primum Tempore

"Quo primum is a document bindig forever [..] for the simple reason that the legal formula used, the legal formula that says 'this document cannot be changed and it cannot be abolished, it holds forever' is not dealing with disciplinary matters [...] The mass, however, due to the olest principle of the mass 'Lex orandi lex credendi' the law of what has to be prayed will determine the law of what has to be believed [the dogmas]. Therefore the mass is not only a matter of faith, it's the basis of our faith. We do not believe what is not celebrated in mass, and we believe what is celebrated in mass. A decree, therefore, ruling over the entire structure of mass, and not only little details, will certainly bind the successors of the Pope who's issued the decree" Fr Gregory Hesse, JCD

Falibilitas Papae - Introduction

Today I will be starting a weekly series of posts on the errors and heresies of some Popes through history, and the on Popes which reached the supreme pontificate throgh  uncannonical ways. My objective is NOT to attack church doctrine, just show with exepmles, the limitations of papal power and papal infalibility, as defined by the first Vatican Counsil. This work will be inspired by the lecture(s) of father gregory hesse, which can be found on youtube with the same title Falibilitas Papae. Causa Nosrtae Laetitie, ora pro nobis
