The Polish Bishops’ Conference is receiving a fair amount of love in certain Catholic circles following its recent plenary assembly which addressed, among other things, the implementation of Amoris Laetitia.
According to reports based upon an official communique, the Polish bishops have decided that the civilly divorced and remarried (so-called) cannot receive Holy Communion unless their situation is remedied as understood within the context of the bi-millennial practice of the Church.
The bishops called those who find themselves in such situations “to a true conversion and to a reconciliation with their spouse [the one to whom they remain married in spite of any civil proceeding] and the children of that bond.”
So far so good, but in the very next breath the bishops squander whatever Catholic credibility they may have had by insisting that, in terms of Catholic teaching, Familiaris Consortio and Amoris Laetitia are “in the same line.”
According to Fr. Pawel Rytel-Andrianik, spokesman for the Polish Bishops’ Conference as reported by Catholic News Agency:
“The bishops understand that the Church thinks in a linear way; it’s not a change of teaching, but it is in one line. In Familiaris Consortio and Amoris Laetitia you have one line in terms of teaching on the family.”
Fr. Rytel-Andrianik went on to say that the Polish bishops agreed that what Francis wrote in Amoris Laetitia is “the same teaching as Familiaris Consortio.”
If this isn’t enough to conclude that the Polish bishops are collectively disoriented and diabolically so, get this…
Their spokesman said “the bishops appreciate, very much, Amoris Laetitia” because they see it as “a treasure of the Church that builds on Familiaris Consortio.”
One of the headlines that got a lot of play in the aftermath of the bishops’ plenary assembly was provided by the Catholic Herald, it reads:
Polish bishops: Amoris Laetitia does not allow Communion for the divorced and remarried
Problem is, however, it actually does allow Communion for the divorced and remarried.
Says who?
The humble heretic who authored the odious text!
In fact, he even went so far as to say that “there are no other interpretations.” Remember?
Let’s be clear, the papacy of Poland’s favorite son, John Paul the Great Ecumenist, was a bona fide disaster for the Church and indeed the entire world.
He did, however, manage to uphold Divine Law as it applies to the reception of Holy Communion by those in what Bergoglio & Co. prefer to call “irregular situations;” most notably in Familiaris Consortio.
Lacking either the faith or the guts, or both, to confront the blasphemies and heresies put forth by Francis the Loquacious in Amoris Laetitia, the Polish bishops apparently had a major dilemma on their hands as they met.
Being worldly men, they naturally chose a worldly solution by playing the well-worn “continuity” card; the same maneuver that has done nothing whatsoever to right the Barque of St. Peter after it was thrown off course by the Second Vatican Council over fifty years ago.
And for this they deserve pity, scorn and prayers for their conversion.
All the NO church asks is for that pinch of incense. Once compromised, always compromised. I have no use for anyone who says the NO fake mass.
Lamentations 2:14 Nun. Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments,
Jeremiah 14:14 And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
Such courage to be found in the Polish bishops! Not! So what else is new? They know that AM is blasphemy and they kinda, sorta, lika, say it in their own way but then immediately bow down before the great and mighty Francis. They should be willing to lose their heads for the Faith but they are much more afraid of losing their cushy jobs instead. So sad. So very , very sad.
these are the prophets who eat at Jezabel’s table, lying teachers who bring in sects of perdition…

Bishops these days don’t even bother to have the decency to at least spin us a convincing lie.
Nowadays they just ‘say things’…
And in just ‘saying things’ they expect us to just believe a ‘thing they’ve said’ because they ‘said it’
Like a little ‘fiat’
And on the 3rd day the Polski Bishops said, “Let there be the same thing in Amoris as in Familiaris… and it was so…”
Like magic! Must have gotten good at all the verbal magical spells thanks to all that dialogue they love to do.
I doubt they believe their own nonsense. The fact must be that they actually hate and despise their flocks this much to imagine we’d put up with it. It has to be hatred. And not only that, but they are also 100% right! We have proven time and time again to prove that we will put up with this nonsense.
New Church: NFP does not allow for contraception.
Problem is, however, it actual DOES when it teaches that one can plan to have exclusive recourse to the infertile period in order to avoid having children by separating in act, word, and deed conjugal intercourse from procreation during the conjugal act.
I couldn’t resist the parallel Louie. And so goes on and on the double speak.
The only word that comes to mind over and over again is cowards.
Good Thursday afternoon Louie,
Please don’t get lost on the converse side of the “two sided coin” of the double entendre’, in spite of the obverse side. The blue print, philosophical paradigm of the Modernist quo Modernist, is after all, Hegel’s dialectic of synthesis, and the double entendre’ is its method of execution. Allow me to quote you here:
“So far so good, but in the very next breath the bishops squander whatever Catholic credibility they may have had by insisting that, in terms of Catholic teaching, Familiaris Consortio and Amoris Laetitia are “in the same line.”
According to Fr. Pawel Rytel-Andrianik, spokesman for the Polish Bishops’ Conference as reported by Catholic News Agency:
“The bishops understand that the Church thinks in a linear way; it’s not a change of teaching, but it is in one line. In Familiaris Consortio and Amoris Laetitia you have one line in terms of teaching on the family.”
In point, there are at least two double entendre’ s in play in this particular text. The first is the reality that the two “Apostolic” teachings are indeed ‘ “in the same line” ‘, when you view the “line” as coming from an imposter Pope, as they both can only be. Therefore, both “teachings”, each professing itself to be “Catholic”, are in the “same line” of the fallacy of having been taught by the Roman Pontiff as the Vicar of Christ. You see, if we “pick and choose” which “teachings” are authentically Catholic, then we, “the choosers” simply ourselves cannot be Catholic, as we must, as we only can by virtue of Her deFide teaching, submit to the Authority of the Vicar of Christ, as the final arbiter on Faith and Morality. Since the true Vicar of Christ cannot in any capacity proffer heresy, as to do so is an ipso-facto recognition of his own immanent schism from Holy Mother Church and in schism he cannot be the Pope, as heresy remains, as it only can, in opposition to Faith, both material and formal, as the Catholic Encyclopedia teaches. Their Modernist deception presents itself in that part of the sentence which says, “…in terms of Catholic teaching…”, which is an all but perfect lie. We can all agree that A.L. is the “teaching” of some religion, but it is not the Religion of Almighty God as commanded to us by the Beloved Son. You see Louie, in the two sentence paragraph that you quote from “CNA”, the word, “teaching” is used twice. As thus and as immanently and patently recognized as coming from the “teaching” mouths of “Shepherds” of “Holy Mother Church”, we have them claiming that material heresy, as in A.L. with certitude for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, IS THE VOICE OF HOLY MOTHER CHURCH, which is an abject reality as a pure and unmitigated falsehood. What about that “teaching” cannot a child who has attained the age of reason and yet remaining sinless, not recognize there as coming from the mouth of Lucifer himself? These “Shepherds” then, can be recognized as shepherds, but not of the Catholic Religion, as She cannot embrace and teach heresy.
The other double entendre’ is similar, but not the same, and is found in the statement, “…the Church thinks in a linear way;…”. Of course the Church of Jesus the Christ, “thinks in a linear way”, as all Truth as Truth Himself is understood “horizontally” into infinity. The obverse side of that double entendre’ is that reality which speaks as res ipsa loquitur, when one listens to what this “thinking” of A. L. indeed is, as the purest of blasphemy, placing an affront to a negative Commandment of the Decalogue, as the Sixth Commandment of Almighty God.
Lastly, as you opine, “…the bishops squander whatever Catholic credibility they may have had…”, what must, as it only can be realized, is that “the bishops” of whom you speak, as properly understood ontologically, simply cannot be “the Bishops” of Holy Mother Church, as being cannot both be and not be, at the same time and under the same respect. The “same respect” here, is that which finds its wellspring as the Holy Catholic Church of Jesus the Christ, Son of the Living God. These “bishops”, as the “Dubia Brothers”, as you have artfully coined them, simply are of the “same religion” but the simple and most basic reality speaks as res ipsa loquitur, that these “bishops” from their very immanent voices, proclaim themselves to be in schism from the Church of Jesus the Christ, while at once bishops of some foreign/false religion, whose very wellspring can only find itself as the Prince of this world. I pray this helps. In caritas.
Hi Johnno,
The deeply sorrowful reality is that they must, as they only can, “believe their own nonsense”, as Almighty God has placed His signature on our hearts, such that we can only and singularly seek Truth, as this reality is written into our very nature as human persons. The reality is though, that the truth we individually seek, may indeed be in ontological reality, a falsehood or a privation of the due good in the act we offer, as we maybe deceived. The “deceiver” seeks his own “truth” and in that pursuit of “his truth” as he is deceived himself, he deliberately proffers deception as a means of “aiding” those who are found to be in his intellect, on the wrong path. In caritas.
And who are we without a Pope?Protestant. “Seeking our own truths”
Didn’t you know that your Pope said its ok to be protestant now?
That’s what many are doing who claim to be “in union with” this alleged Pope. If you reject AL, which he claims is “Magesterial”, are you not in fact doing the very same thing? Good cannot have union with evil nor may it ever compromise with it.
Not to worry…my Mother wears combat boots.
Are we something different when the Chair of Peter is vacant at the death of a pope than when the Chair is occupied?
Are we faithful to Christ, to the Sacred Deposit of Faith and Sacred Tradition only when the Chair is occupied?
I have no respect for the Poles. They are all (and I mean all) contracepting. Just look at their horrific national birthrate. Adios faux Catholics.
Even heretical organization like Catholic Answers confirms what Francis wrote is opposite of what JP II wrote (except they are saying Francis got it right and JP II got it wrong).
