Before anyone canonizes Francis I, Francis I rejected his duty and title as Vicar of Christ. Every baptized Catholic is baptized priest (priesthood of the laity), prophet and king, as our baptism frees us from original sin and acknowledges our sovereign personhood.
Francis I used his sovereign personhood to reject his office as Vicar of Christ.
Was Francis really the Pope after rejecting the office of Vicar of Christ or did Francis reject his office as Pope?
I want to know.
Incidentally all unborn children within the womb are implicitly baptized priest, (the priesthood of the laity), prophet and king until such time as they are able to receive baptism of water in the Sacrament of Baptism. Implicit baptism acknowledges the sovereign personhood of the unborn. In the Jewish tradition, the Jews hold the belief that unborn children can sin in their thoughts and in their free will while still in the womb.
This tradition acknowledges their sovereign personhood in their immortal human soul. According to Aquinas and Aristotle the immortal human soul is the form of the body. The form of the body, the immortal human soul directs the forming of the child’s body in the womb.
The unborn are sovereign persons created and endowed by “their Creator” with sovereign personhood; each and every one of us human beings begins life the same way; a life protected and declared and celebrated in our Declaration of Independence.
Anyone who rejects our Declaration of Independence forfeits his citizenship and becomes an individual without a country. Homelessness in their own body.
Our good Pope Leo is an educated, faithful man with his own lifetime of experience in service to God and His Church. I believe Pope Leo leads us with faithfulness. If there is anything in Pope Francis’s teaching that is useful and true, I have no doubt Pope Leo will refer to it. But I think he is his own man and leads us with wisdom, faith, and his own experience,
