Pope is too lenient because he lacks heart

Pope Francis is a Jesuit and an academic.

He functions with the head and not with the heart, which consists of intuition and conscience.

The pope is not holy indignant about the mortal sins of abortion, homosexuality and contraception. Long ago, the Catholic academics morally accepted contraception. Now, Pope Francis is providing a rationale for the moral acceptance of homosexuality. He says if a homosexual sincerely follows Christ, he should not be judged. Nonsense.

Rational Pope Francis is wrong. Pope Francis must learn that reason is amoral. Reason cannot differentiate right from wrong. Only the conscience, ignored by the academics, provides absolute moral certitude. Reason does not. The conscience is the infallible moral counsel of the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit.

Pope Francis is a man of reason. Because of his lack of holy indignation, Pope Francis will never employ the spiritual remedies for those who violate God’s infallible commandments and who are heretics. Pope Francis needs prayers to penetrate his hardened intellect. The most potent spiritual remedy is excommunication, but the Pope will not use it.
