You’re contradicting yourself in your own comment my guy. It’s always been this way, but that’s a tall argument to make, but no change happened? What are you even arguing?
That’s kind of the rule in Catholicism. They don’t really believe in changing a perfect church. They just reinterpret what obviously already was sacred tradition.
What? As a Catholic you would know the pope is a representative of Jesus Christ.
Ummm… you mean Peter, right? The Pope as an institution is derived of Jesus’s promise to Peter, and not from Jesus himself per se. Jesus is God. If God wants to do something, He needs no representative. It just happens.
It isn’t up for discussion if he decrees something
Did the Pope speak ex cathedra here?
Note: there are only a few times in the past millennia that a Pope has ever invoked ex cathedra.
What kind of bad Hollywood movie or anime did you learn Catholic values from?
EDIT: I’m just noticing now that your post is 10 days old. It looks like lemm.ee had some sync issues with lemmy.world. The server finally notified me of your response. Apologies if this is digging up an old, week old subject. But I promise it was at the top of my inbox yesterday when I responded.
Arguably, the Pope has said it was always like this and hasn’t changed anything.
Which is… A tall argument to make given how many priests are pissed off about the Pope’s announcement.
Note: I am Catholic. Ama I guess, lol. But technically speaking, this is just how the Church always has been and therefore no change happened.

They are catholic after all
Would it be Christianity without the contradictions?
