@Vitus_osst I think that reliance on The Holy Spirit for guidance was severed for all time when the church inserted the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed.

What you should know about the Papal infallibility.
-Papal infallibility is a Catholic dogma stating the Pope is preserved from error when he formally defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals for the entire Church.
This protection applies only when he speaks ex cathedra, or "from the chair" of St. Peter, in his official capacity as supreme shepherd.
The belief is rooted in Jesus’s promise to Peter, with the theological reasoning that the Holy Spirit would not allow the Church to be led into doctrinal error on essential matters of salvation.

@JackoWilliams64 @johnddavidson Pope John XII, 955 to 964.
Also busy with blinding his confessor and castrating a cardinal.
And rampant incest all throughout his family.
To be fair, there was a brothel-like atmosphere at the Vatican in the middle ages.
But it didn't have open bars and gambling tables.

@godwizard @johnddavidson That's silly. The Vatican only became a brothel in the 10th century, and only for a few decades.

What's odd and a somewhat disappointing about Pope Leo's response here is that he diminishes the importance of sexual morality, saying there are "much larger and more important issues--such as justice, equality, the freedom of men and women, and religious freedom."
Setting aside that sexual morality affects these "larger issues" (especially as they concern the family), the specific question he's responding to here concerns the German bishops' blessing of same-sex couples, which he says the Holy See disagrees with, and that disagreement has been communicated to the German bishops.
So in Germany, the question of sexual morality, and specifically that of gay couples, is important enough that the German bishops are risking schism with Rome over it, and indeed are right now in open rebellion!
On that basis alone, it would seem that sexual morality is indeed one of the most important issues facing the Catholic Church today, and it would be helpful if the pope's comments reflected that reality.

JUST IN: Pope Leo XIV responds to Cardinal Marx — Says Vatican does not approve blessing of same sex couples. Adds a blessing can be given to “all people” like at the end of Mass. Leo states—— “First of all, I believe it is very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual issues. We tend to think that when the Church speaks of morality, the only moral issue is a sexual one. In reality, I believe there are much larger and more important issues—such as justice, equality, the freedom of men and women, and religious freedom—that should take priority over that particular issue. The Holy See has already spoken with the German bishops. The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formal blessing of couples—in this case, same-sex couples, as you requested—or of couples in irregular situations, beyond what Pope Francis has specifically permitted by saying that all people should receive the blessing. When a priest gives the blessing at the end of Mass, when the Pope gives the blessing at the end of a great celebration like the one we had today, there are blessings for all people. Francis’s famous expression, “everyone, everyone, everyone,” expresses the Church’s conviction that everyone is welcomed, everyone is invited, everyone is invited to follow Jesus, and everyone is invited to seek conversion in their own lives. To go beyond this today, I believe, could cause more disunity than unity, and that we should seek to build our unity on Jesus Christ and on what Jesus Christ teaches. This is my answer to the question.

@Vasco52723334 @UcheMaryOkoli They claimed them?
They took scrolls that existed and combined them.
This has nothing to do with anything.
They assembled a book.
That gives them nothing.
They didn't write anything.
The New Testament was written IN GREEK.
People in Rome SPOKE LATIN.
See a problem?

@UcheMaryOkoli Todo lo que pasa está escrito en la biblia .

Y la santísima Trinidad.

"If the Catholic Church was not founded by Christ, it'd have fallen long ago. But because the Church was founded by Christ, the church will stand."

@UcheMaryOkoli Well, Jesus had nothing to do with Rome.
The earliest Christian church was a blend of Romans and Eastern Orthodox.
Rome didn't insult the Eastern church into a split until the second century.
And there were five centers of the church before then.
Just another Roman myth.

The power of Marxism is derived from fostering hate between demographic groups.
Early on, Marxists talked about the economic “class struggle,” but the upward mobility of the middle class in capitalism made that a hard sell in the USA.
So somewhere around the 1950s-60s the Marxists figured out that hate is more easily fostered between demographic groups when you take “class” out of the equation and substitute race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.
Classes of victims became essential to the success of U.S. Marxists (called “Democrats” in the USA).
To have classes of victims, one also needs classes of overlords, real or imagined.
Enter the boogeyman of “White Supremacy.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center has been at the forefront of this fight for 40 years, ensuring that the illusion of a class of overlords was perpetuated throughout the land and across government policies. When they could not find the hate they needed, they paid to create it.
Their playbook is hate = power.
But now they got caught red handed. Good.
