Dot com much to get to Here's the brief news from the world over this week. A bombshell coming out of the Vatican as a group of clergy and lays scholars from around the world and taken a rare step of presenting Pope Francis with a formal correction it is the 1st of its kind in nearly 700 years stemming from his appestat like exhortation a Morris like T.T.'s and his action since the group is accusing Pope Francis of propagating heresies on marriage the moral life and reception of the sacraments released publicly this week the 25 page letter was personally delivered to the Holy Father on August 11th the signatories accuse Pope Francis through his words and deeds and omissions of upholding 7 heretical positions although not a kid. The pope of the sin of heresy they say that his actions have caused heretical opinions to spread in the Catholic Church as signatories respectfully insisted that Francis condemn the heresies that he is directly or indirectly upheld and that he teach the truth of the Catholic faith on the matters in question there has been no official response from the Vatican However on Thursday when asked about the formal correction secretary of state Cardinal p. a Little part only in said dialogue within the church is important people who disagree express their dissent on these things we have to reason try to understand one another more on this with one of the letters signatories and the Papal posse in our next segment thank you and launching in with the defeat of a health care overhaul in the rearview mirror President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have turned their attention to a far reaching 5 trillion dollar tax reform plan the g.o.p. Is looking to both simplify and lower taxes some of the highlights outlined this week individual tax brackets would be reduced from $7.00 to $3.00 the top rate would be lowered and the standard deduction used by most would be nearly doubled many deductions would be eliminated but not charitable and mortgage deductions corporations will see a huge cut seeing their federal taxes reduced from the world's highest rate of nearly 40 percent down to 20 percent touting his sweeping tax plan in Indianapolis on Wednesday the president said the benefits go beyond putting more money in the pockets of taxpayers we're going to bring back to jobs and wealth that have left our country and most people feel I left our country for good protect. We want tax free for all that is progress. Pro worker pro-family. Yes. It is pro and. Taxes would no longer be deductible under the president's plan as such many residents in high tax high property values states such as California New York New Jersey are likely to see a tax increase tax surcharge could also be imposed on the country's wealthiest individuals and President Trump issued a new travel ban on Sunday citizens of 8 countries will face restrictions on entry to the u.s. The new rules were placed the expiring ones impacting citizens of Chad Iran Libya North Korea so Malya Syria Venezuela and Aden the restrictions range from an indefinite ban on visas for citizens of countries like Syria to more targeted restrictions after the policy announcement Trump said the a Twitter at making America safe is his number one priority and you around of lawsuits are expected as the u.s. Supreme Court has canceled its hearing of the now expired travel ban Meanwhile Pope Francis used his Wednesday general audience to launch a 2 year campaign and courage in the world's nations to open their borders and their arms the share the journey campaign as it is called looks to raise awareness about the plight of migrants the campaign encourages people to meet with migrants and listen to their stories rather than treat them as statistics or negative stereotypes the pope's effort is meant to address the mounting anti immigrant sentiment in Europe the us and beyond France's himself the son of a tally and immigrants to Argentina personally greeted migrants invited to sit at the front of the St Peter's Square kick off and the Vatican's former auditor general charged with investigating the church's finances is speaking out this week about his sudden departure. Last June I don't mean Lonnie told reporters that he was forced to resign after finding irregularities and possible illegal activity within the Vatican finances alone a stop short of revealing any specifics about alleged irregularity since he's bound by confidentiality agreements the Vatican issued a statement saying the Lowndes claims are false and unjustified going on to accuse him of spying on the private lives of superiors and staff Moloney says he was threatened with jail his office was bugged and computers hacked Launay suspects that he was forced out by some old guard in the Vatican who wish to slow down Pope Francis as were forms take a closer look at this story in our next segment and just when you never thought I'd give it to you I have some good news from Washington House Republican Whip Steve Scully's return to Capitol Hill on Thursday more than 3 months after being targeted in a near fatal shooting the 51 year old Louisiana representative was received with colleagues and standing ovations in a packed House chamber school East and 4 others were injured when a gunman opened fire on a Republican baseball practice in Alexandria Virginia u.s. Capitol Police and other officers returned fire and killed the gunman who had nursed grievances against President Donald Trump and the Republican Party skillets was struck in the hip and the bullet tore into blood vessels bones and internal organs he attributed his recovery to prayer and faith. The 1st thing I did once I was down and I couldn't move anymore as I just started praying and I will tell you it gave me unbelievable sense of calm no one had it up when it was in God's hands but I prayed for very specific things and I'll tell you. Pretty much every one of those prayers was answered and. They were some pretty challenging prayers I was putting hands but he he really did deliver for me and my family and it just gives you that renewed faith and understanding that the power of prayer something that you just cannot underestimate delighted to see my congressman back in action keep this Kelly's family in your prayers when we return more than 100 Catholic clergy and laymen have released a correction publicly accusing the Pope of spreading heresy who's behind this correction and isn't listed Robert Royal father Gerald Mary and Dr Joseph Shaw one of the signatories joins us to break it all down in the world over continues stay right there. It's the start of a new day for morning Catholic radio there's also a warning where he said we're really shame to me in my teachings in this and godly age I will be ashamed of him before my Heavenly Father in heaven. Who appear before the judge will see point day the ask. The client for me evil do we want to hear him say well done to the end I am Morning Glory Catholic from the start we Day morning 7 Eastern e.w.t.n. Global Catholic Radio Network. Now once again brain into. The mix of the world over a year ago 5 questions over Giulia concerning the Pope's teaching on marriage and communion or submitted by for cardinals the table teaching a morsel a t.t. a Is what raise the questions and they have gone unanswered they are not going away this week a group of international Catholic theologians laymen clergy and papal critics went public with Ophelia will correction of the pope such a formal correction of a Roman pontiff has not occurred since 1333 they accuse Francis of propagating heresy. Due to ambiguities in a borstal of T.T.'s and subsequent comments made by the pontiff himself joining us tonight from Edinburgh Scotland is one of the signatories of that illegal correction and its moral philosopher at Oxford University Dr Joseph Shaw thank you for joining us. I want to start with why now Dr Shaw Why do something like this and why did you all decide it should take this form as a illegal correction. Will we take our stuff from me the role of the pope in the Catholic Church which is as Christ said say you can the brother in the face so that's what the pope is for if you like that's what that's why he has the power as he has this way as the teaching or Thora see that he has so we want to see the pope teaching clearly the things which need to be took the things about which there's confusion things where people are disagreeing with each other when it's important that the treaty be made clear so. We seen more states and of course the the and as all humans about the nature of the document and what it might mean and various efforts have been made to ask the Pope to to make it clearer what's become evidence over the last months and a couple of years is that the pope is actually encouraging a certain interpretation without actually making that interpretation his official teaching say he's not using his teaching office so for example when the bishops of . The 2 bishops published guidelines on how it should be applied now these guidelines were quite difficult to created that raised many difficulties but they were published in the Vatican's official newspaper Now that's not an act by the pope that's not an exercise of the papal teaching ministry. But it is a pretty petty hint that the people in charge and ran don't understand most of his here in this way no longer dating with the ambiguities all the most of his here itself we're now dealing with. Lest we confuse people I want to make sure we're not circling the issue without explaining it to the viewer what we're talking about here is one chapter Chapter 8 in a mostly t.t. Had this papal exportation a papal teaching document where it is suggested that a clergyman may accompany a divorced and remarried person and that person without an element may go to communion that's the suggestion Yeah that's the pastoral application that some are applying to him and I want to run down the 7 charges you will offer and I suppose you charge the pope with encouraging these what you call heresies refusing to answer the dubious 5 questions about the Cardinals forcibly intervening at the 2015 Synod of the family and inserting in a mid-term report a proposal to allow communion for adulterers in a proposal that pastors should emphasize the positive aspects of lifestyles the church considers gravely sinful including civil remarriage after divorce and premarital cohabitation and it goes on indorsing interpretation of the exportation by the end of Cardinal Crystal shown born that allows for communion to be given to adulterers turning a statement by the bishops of want to start that would lead to the same end and it goes on What do you think the reaction to this is what have you heard anything official from the pope. Know the pope is not made any reaction to in Langley is his known reaction to the tibia and to come in the as an Indy to the position. That raised 800000 signatures in relation to the. Synods. Is deliberately not responding to this and that's something which he's he's free to do it's what he is doing is giving these indications that one particular interpretation of the Morris is to be put to the others and that's what and those things you just mentioned they add up to that said again you know the insertion of that I need to I need to get into this before I run out of time. I noted theologian of Boston College Richard Gaillard debts told National Catholic Reporter The prominence given to the number of signatories last the fact that these are really marginal figures I also read another report I think it was capping is agency suggesting that you all are all of Everest's or systematics Is that true. It's not true this is a gesture and it's rather old Lee with the same response that it was made to the full Cardinals j.b.s. Said call coddles world to see Nazis man say. You know people without any qualifications all all standing by its people will say the same things about them as the saying about us is obviously not a question of us and they. Qualifications 8 they just ain't like well less than say they're trying to distract attention from that and I by all means you never ignore what we're saying but it's caused a result it's called an effect on the Catholic world because people are interested in this and people are saying to us Well thank goodness someone is saying this at last and this is something which other people can endorse and other people can talk about and what are you looking for what are you hoping the ultimate reaction will be. Ultimately what we won't is an exercise in the papal Magisterium indeed the teaching of the church in general we're looking for the church to tell us the sons and daughters of the church we once in a in the check in the. But the teaching challenge which isn't us it's then it's the bishops and the what we should believe to confirm this in the faith and now we know what we think we know that it's it the church is told in the past and things I know on a kind of a human being and I may be wrong but I would like someone to explain why I am wrong . To accept that and that's not what we've had we haven't had a discussion about this. That even that I suppose is they tend to be rather invasive there's a lot of Appeals to authority Dr Joseph Joel I thank you for joining us and now for analysis I'm joined by the papal policy editor in chief of the Catholic thing dot org Robert Royal and from New York Father Gerald merry canon a lawyer and Priest of the Archdiocese of New York at thank you both for being here I want to start with you Bob how credible is this effort how important is it some are dismissing it and saying well these are just a couple of fringe people writing a letter they are now signing on well look you could argue that since the pope did not respond to the 4 Cardinals putting out another appeal like this even the 800000 that Dr Shaw mentioned earlier it is not going to really produce any results inside the Vatican or from the Catholic hierarchy why not well some of the reasons that that Dr Shaw mentioned then I think we know at this point that the Holy Father wants to leave these questions open he says he wants them discussed but then some of his supporters have very agitated way and some groups some scholars raise these various missions so you can argue either way whether this should have been made public but these questions will not go away and there are a lot of nervous Catholics in the world I hear from them you hear out on them I'm sure bishops around the country and around the world are hearing about this because marriage is something. Touches everybody version and so one this teaching that had been so firm and so clear in Catholicism unlike other Christian groups seems to have been put in doubt by this particular papacy but that he had also not put it out because we don't know exactly what it has been clarified people get very nervous and then also we as we know unfortunately some get angry father Jerry Some are saying these people the signatories to this illegal correction are out of line they don't have rights to do this who do they think they are in they're acting like Protestants and saying that some of the commentary canonically What is that position of a correction where does that fit in and what do you make of the ships like Rene great state of the former bishop of the Corpus Cristi signing on just this week to this correction the laity have the right according canon law can into 12 to make known to the passes of the church their concerns and then the concerns have to do with the questions of Catholic doctrine to cite teachings of earlier popes and councils in presenting their position is not an act of a front Terry or disobedience or disrespect rather it's a play from the sons and daughters of the church to the Holy Father to reconcile what he is saying in a more is that with those previous teachings and as Bob says this is not going away we've been talking about this on air for at least a year and a half now because central questions are at issue is it legitimate for someone to be living in an adulterous state and receive communion at the same time. A said there can be exceptions to this rule the bishops of Malta say that and they're wrong the church has never taught this and asking the pope to make that clear and reaffirming what his predecessor said For me that's a good act of loyalty to the papacy on the behalf on the part of those laymen and and priests and bishops am. And because we can leave this up in the air and say well it'll sort itself out over time you know what So what happens over time is you have more dispersion more confusion and more fighting Robert Royal some of the critics of this a professor of theology at Boston College said this will only create more division and you are attacking the pope I think that's not true I think if you look at the document and I could encourage all our viewers to read this and to see what it is that they are they're bringing $25.00 pages and it's very reasonable particularly the lead on they they pledged delegate and pulled it's very gentle sort of in the laid out there's a summary you can kind of go through it but you can't dismiss people simply because you don't like what the message is. I'm going to say this again the Holy Father has chosen to allow this conversation to go on one of the things that I found quite odd as I was thinking about this is this week when I talked to him came out as we know that in the United States and in many countries around the world in fact parish priests have been going precisely through that type of discernment without authorization you know that a lot of it was allowing people back into the life of the church with on an element but out in an element I mean that's been happening why it was necessary for the Holy Father to kind of put his formally on the record and I don't know I mean he often seems to be responding to the kinds of rigidity that he talks about frequently that seem to be in his own personal history and in the history of Argentina so maybe that's what he's thinking now but I don't see how you can say that they are that these people are creating controversy the controversy exists and better that someone comes forward with a well reasoned very clear respect troll document that says here is why we don't know what's going on I took very much to heart with Professor Sharjah said that we're all fallible human beings and so if we're in error bringing up these issues tell us why that is. Well the general nursery your thoughts on Cardinal Willette who is head of the Congregation for Bishops Canadian Bishop he said today that these alarmist and unfaithful interpretation
