GRANADA, Spain -- Renowned Catholic philosopher Dr. Josef Seifert said that a “strict obligation” to serving the Pope and the Church required him to publish a critique of Pope Francis’ exhortation on marriage and family that resulted in him recently being fired from his Catholic university by the local archbishop.

Seifert, in an interview with OnePeterFive, said that when his friend and fellow intellectual Rocco Buttiglione outlined for him how the Pope’s 2016 Exhortation Amoris Laetitia would be used to overturn Catholic teaching against the evil of contracepted sex, it “shook me up profoundly.”

In an article published online last month, Seifert called the Pope’s 2016 Exhortation Amoris Laetitia (AL) a ticking “theological atomic bomb” that has the capacity to destroy all Catholic moral teaching.

In his article, the philosopher argued that if Pope Francis believes that adultery — to quote the exhortation — “is what God himself is asking” of couples in “irregular” situations, then there is nothing stopping any other intrinsically evil act, such as contraception and homosexuality, from eventually being justified.
