PopeWatch: Fifth Chances

From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:

VATICAN––It was reported earlier this week that an outgoing Argentinian born man, whose every single word is misconstrued and misrepresented by friends in the media, has for some reason, resolved to give them an additional 12,000 more words to have fun with. “If you think about it, what’s the worst that could happen?” said the man as he neglected to write down even just a handful of key statements that he could use during the interview so as to avoid the chance that someone misunderstand what he trying to say. “Sure, up till now every single, solitary word or sentence I’ve said, be it from the pulpit or plane, has allowed those who hate the Church to twist the meaning of what I actually meant…but you know, I believe in fifth chances.” At press time, the man has agreed upon an upcoming Mad Libs type interview with MSNBC, in which he would send the media outlet a dozen thousand word statement about Catholic moral teaching, with select words and sentences removed to allow easier room to misrepresent.

This report is from 2013, but since it has been proven true throughout the current pontificate, PopeWatch is running it now.

Unbelievers cannot be welcomed into the Catholic Church by change in doctrine to accommodate them. Ecumenism cannot function without doctrine for that would be a swindle and an affront to their humanity, depriving non-believers of their free will to consent to join the Catholic Church. The non-believers’ freedom to informed consent will be denied to them. The non-believers’ free will will be denied their access to the TRUTH.
