Your Excellency Bishop Wróbel, what do you think of the letter of clarification on Amoris Laetitia sent by four cardinals to the Pope?
They have done well and they have exercised correctly the provisions of canon law. I think it is not only a right, but even a duty. It would have been just to answer to their observations. They asked no questions about the next day’s weather, but on issues concerning the Church’s teaching and therefore the faithful.
The doubts regarding AL, do you find them pertinent?
As I said before, a clarification on the document, and especially on chapter 8 is opportune. The text effectively lends itself to various interpretations, it’s ambiguous.
Why does it lend itself to various interpretations?
Because it was not well written. Probably with too much haste, without analyzing the contents and the possible consequences with careful attention. There is a need to bring these questions to the Vatican and to the collaborators in whom the Pope has confidence. Drawing up such important texts in haste does not render good service to the Church.
Can one give Communion to those who have remarried civilly?
You couldn’t give [them Communion] before Amoris Laetitia, it’s not possible now. The doctrine of the Church is not subject to changes, otherwise it is no longer the Church of Christ founded on the Gospel and the Tradition. It is given to no one to modify the doctrine insofar as no-one is master of the Church.
Communion to gay couples?
It is not possible, and mercy is not a permission slip. Homosexual acts are a very grave sin, much more than those committed among heterosexuals. In fact, they go against nature.

May every Polish Bishop come out boldly to support the Four Cardinals who have sought an answer from Pope Francis.
Almighty God will surely act soon to take away from this world P.F. and will cleanse Vatican. In the history of the Church no Pope has ever done so much damage.
After all we are human beings and creatures of God , does P.F. realizes that death , judgement are certain and unless he repents and corrects himself he will be punished by God.By Oct 2017 we will know his fate. We are sure that there are masons as Cardinals and Bishops.
Let us pray to Our Blessed Mother Mary who is our help.

It's good to hear from the Polish Bishops again. Bishop Gadecki has been so silent of late, so too Bishop Lenga of of Kazakhstan. I had also hoped that Bishop Schneider would have been ready to support such a Dubia. It is, of course, up to the Cardinals to make a formal declaration if PF doesn't resign first, but support from the episcopate is necessary also as they will be charged with implementing this disastrous Papal Exhortation which should not be allowed to become part of the Magisterium.

I have tweeted @Pontifex urging PF to answer the Dubia. I know he has ignored all correspondence to date but the thing about tweeting is that his supporters love it. His mouthpieces use it constantly so will take note & pass the news on. The more dissatisfaction that is publicly aired about AL & his other opinions, dreadful example & bad-mouthing of Traditional Catholics the better. The Dubia needs our collective support as do the Cardinals who issued it. We have for the duration of this Pontificate been urging the Cardinals & Bishops to carry out their duty to Christ & His Church - now that they are, it is only right that we all support them.

We are now in an age--perhaps the last age--when new martyrs are within the Church itself. Surely Satan has found a new home.

WONDERFUL to hear Wisdom and Truth...it is becoming a rarity.

He's much too delicate, but at least it's something in this day and age of a mostly oily, craven episcopate. Amoris Laetitia is a trove of heretical manure and should be burned and the ashes buried and covered with lime. Have you folks read the critique of it by the 40+ theologians? Chilling.

Head of Greek Bishops Accuses Four Cardinals of Heresy, Apostasy, & Schism @onepeterfive.com

This coming from the leader of a group of schismatic Orthodox bishops is risible. Wonder if Soros was involved?

AMEN.

R U sure this man is a real bishop? Calm, clear, gracious, accommodating, fatherly, patient, dignified... but, even stranger, no finger pointing, name calling, boasting, or references to blogs!

The Polish Bishops certainly have class if this one is anything to go by!
