Is not the lesson aimed at the hard hearted Jew not the Doctors of Holy Mother Church.<br /><br />Yes if course some died and were accused wrongly by Church leaders and some even (like St. Joan) became Saints. The Church did admit wrong but if one looks at the case of Joan it was more the fear of political change then a religious persecution. <br /><br />I am not sure if the Pope points at those holding to the Dogmatic letters or those who defy Church teaching to appear charitable. Confusing sermon ar best.<br /><br />We know we cannot be Pharasees in judgment as Christ taught. But someone must protect doctrine and teaching. I expect the Holy Father to do so.CMP3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03339773995230595235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-24120164742484682016-04-12T22:56:48.684-04:002016-04-12T22:56:48.684-04:00Judas is quite the hero for some. ...Judas is quite the hero for some. http://www.traditioninaction.org/RevolutionPhotos/A185rcJudasRequiem.htm Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-83575321721822438952016-04-12T22:50:12.481-04:002016-04-12T22:50:12.481-04:00Jesus said "

Going back to such Church Fathers as Origen, there was debate over Judas' fate.<br /><br />Anyway, Pope Francis has spoken several times of Judas. What he said of Judas is very much in line with what many Catholics have noted about Judas.<br /><br />October 28, 2014 A.D:<br /><br />“Jesus prays, Jesus calls, Jesus chooses, Jesus sends his disciples out, Jesus heals the crowd. Inside this temple, this Jesus who is the corner stone does all this work: it is He who conducts the Church. As St Paul says, this Church is built on the foundations of the Apostles; he chose twelve of them. All of them sinners. <br /><br />"Judas was not the one who sinned the most: I don’t know who sinned the most… Judas, poor man, is the one who closed himself to love and that is why he became a traitor. And they all ran away during the difficult time of the Passion and left Jesus alone. They are all sinners. But He chose.”<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />The second-to-last sentence of the old pre-Vatican II Catholic Encyclopedia says of Judas that "the Sacred Text does not distinctly reject the possibility of real repentance".<br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Page 186 of Pope Saint John Paul II's Crossing the Threshold of Hope noted that we can not be certain of Judas' fate.<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />By the way, it's important to understand the context of Pope Francis' use of "poor man" when he discussed Judas. Pope Francis' point is that Judas was a "poor man" for having closed himself love and, therefore, had become a traitor.<br /><br />That is the context of Pope Francis' remark in question. Let us be fair to what Pope Francis said...not read something else into his comment.<br /><br />Now, whether Judas is in Hell is an open question. Again, Pope Francis has not said anything about Judas that wasn't said centuries ago.<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-22249117813210083962016-04-12T01:03:34.686-04:002016-04-12T01:03:34.686-04:00Pope Benedict XVI, Wednesday General Audience, Oct...Pope Benedict XVI, Wednesday General Audience, October 18, 2006 A.D:<br /><br />http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/audiences/2006/documents/hf_ben-xvi_aud_20061018.html<br /><br />Judas Iscariot and Matthias<br /><br />"Dear Brothers and Sisters, <br /><br />"Today, concluding our walk through the portrait gallery of the Apostles called directly by Jesus during his earthly life, we cannot fail to mention the one who has always been named last in the list of the Twelve: Judas Iscariot. We want to associate him with the person who is later elected to substitute him, Matthias. <br /><br />"The mystery of the choice remains, all the more since Jesus pronounces a very severe judgement on him: "Woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!".<br /><br />"What is more, it darkens the mystery around his eternal fate, knowing that Judas "repented and brought back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood'". <br /><br />"Even though he went to hang himself, it is not up to us to judge his gesture, substituting ourselves for the infinitely merciful and just God."<br /><br />From the old Radio Replies by Fathers Carty and Rumble:<br /><br />950. Are Judas and Adam in hell?<br /><br />"It has never been revealed that any particular soul is in hell. However, even of Judas, no man has absolute certainty. The question can be solved only by God."<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark ThomasMark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-40739043994813380992016-04-11T23:11:30.043-04:002016-04-11T23:11:30.043-04:00According to some mystics ,Judas was the only Apos...According to some mystics ,Judas was the only Apostle who was educated in the Temple ,one of the reasons why they approached him ,and not any of the others which if true would make him the theologian of the group.

Among other things, the Jewish high priests had no power to forgive (one of their reasons for condemning Jesus was attacking Him for saying He had that power) and surely Judas didn't believe that they did. But Francis is all but blaming the death of Judas on the Jewish high priests refusing to accept Judas' confession! This is monumentally twisted.<br /><br />So, people say that the Catholic Church blames the Jews for the death of Jesus. But Francis blames the Jews for the death of Judas! To repeat, this is twisted. Oakes Spaldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078500142758654392noreply@blogger.com
