Benedict XVI Promised Francis „Total Obedience“ - German Vice

The first words of Benedict XVI to his successor on the evening of Francis' election were: “Holiness, I promise you from now on my total obedience and my prayer”.

Benedict XVI said this phrase on a cordless phone belonging to his former secretary Monsignor Alfred Xuereb. After dinner on March 13, 2013, Xuereb received a call of Francis and passed the phone to Benedict XVI.

Xuereb revealed Benedict’s words in an interview to Vatican News (February 9).

Mccallansteve - St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. II-II, Q. 11, A. 3: Heretics “deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death. For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death.”

The punishment for clerics should be by far greater if they are going to be heretics and Francis is. Therefore he should be put to death

Yes, obedience to the pope when he is acting like a Catholic, not when he is acting like a heretic.

Well that's what's gone wrong then! To obey "Francis" necessitates disobeying Jesus Christ.
I'd have chosen Christ - eternity is a long time! In Christ we Trust - party men allowing nude men to appear publicly with them are clearly clueless to what Christ meant when He said "Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is PERFECT!"
In the Scriptures public"Nudity" is linked with demonic possession.More

Obedience !!! Mr benedict Obedience is and has always been for what is Holy to wisdom and knowledge of Jesus Christ. You don't say yes to evil just because he is a pope. You are disobedient to Our Lord Jesus Christ when He says:

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.
bendedic you are remiss in the principles of Our Lord, the principles of virtue. Obedience out of Love for God the Father carried Jesus to the Cross and Love for us kept him there. If you are remiss in one virtue you are remiss in the others. Therefore your soul has no protection you will circum to immorality wickedness licentiousness. You are disobedient to the teachings of the gospels of Jesus Christ. To follow Francis is to follow the light Bearer Lucifer as all freemansons do RIGHT Benedict.
