When Fr.James Martin interprets the Council irrationally, like Pope Francis he does not qualify to speak to the youth. He is dishonest. He is not in communion with Jesus and His Mystical Body the Church. It is the same with Pope Francis. Interpreting the Council, Creeds, Catechisms etc irrationally, non traditionally, heretically and schismatically was an impediment to offering Holy Mass at the World Youth Day in Lisbon.

 

Fr.James Martin sj addressed the youth at Lisbon without telling them to interpret Vatican Council II rationally and so return to the old moral theology of the Catholic Church, which says those living in mortal sin will not see the Kingdom of God. 

When LG 8,14, 15, 16,UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc refer to hypothetical cases they do not contradict the past exclusivist ecclesiology of the Catholic Church, which says homosexual acts are mortal sins and that outside the Church there is no known salvation in the present times.

The youth also need to be told that abortion and contraception are mortal sins. This is the traditional moral teaching of the Church.It is  not contradicted by Vatican Council II interpreted rationally.

.

Fr. Martin should not be offering Holy Mass since he approves of the homosexual life style and does not repent. He does not acknowledge homosexual acts as a sin in need of repentance.

He can no more justify these mortal sins with Vatican Council II, interpreted irrationally, as ‘a revolution’ in the Church. He cannot pretend that there can be a new mortal theology as if people do not know that the Council can be interpreted rationally.

So when Fr.James Martin interprets the Council irrationally, like Pope Francis he does not qualify to speak to the youth. He is dishonest. He is not in communion with Jesus and His Mystical Body the Church. It is the same with Pope Francis.

Interpreting the Council, Creeds, Catechisms etc irrationally, non traditionally, heretically and schismatically was an impediment to offering Holy Mass at the World Youth Day in Lisbon.
