Seifert emphasises the depth of Francis's heresy.
From Gloria.tv
Pope Francis’ Abu Dhabi declaration implies “the end of Christianity” and is "the heresy of all heresies", the philosopher Josef Seifert told Gloria.tv.
The declaration claims that God wills the diversity of religions.
However, on March 1, Francis explained to Bishop Athanasius Schneider that he only meant God's permissive will ("God allows") not his positive will ("God wills").
Seifert calls this explanation “insufficient” because the “completely unacceptable” declaration cannot be fix by a private conversation but must be revoked publicly.
Moreover, Francis' explanation is flawed because no solemn declaration is needed to point out that nothing exists which is not "permitted" by God, including the fall of Satan or the extermination of millions in Auschwitz, Seifert explains.
He gives an example, “Let’s imagine the Pope would have said, ‘From creation, God wanted the diversity of man and woman and the murder of millions in Auschwitz.’ Then, the whole world would be scandalized and the Pope would have to apologize for such a terrible statement."
God's allowing of great evils is totally different from his creative and positive will, “Both cannot be mentioned in the same breath.”

Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
