Pope Francis condemned the “very strong, organised, reactionary attitude” in the US church and said Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.

Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the US Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.

Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the US Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.

    I don’t believe in that paradox because if God is all powerful he could indeed make a rock so big he couldn’t move it in that moment and at the same time could move it. Because that’s what omnipotence looks like.

      Yes but if moving the rock destroys the rock, then if God did that, God would become a destroyer. If God is defined as being a Creator, destroying the rock results in God no longer being a Creator and therefore no longer God.

      But a paradox doesn’t disprove the existence of God. Life is full of paradoxes. Like quantum physics, WTF is going on there? I don’t know, it’s a thing that exists even though it doesn’t make any sense.

        Wtf are you babbling about god has destroyed plenty of things, like when they supposedly drowned all the world during the Noah’s ark arc, to the destruction of the cities of Sodom and gamorra.
