Joining six other Catholic bishops, a seventh bishop has signed on to a letter defending the Biblical and traditional teaching on marriage and divorce in the Catholic Church, a document that challenges the teaching of Pope Francis and some other bishops who claim that "divorced and remarried" couples -- people living in adultery -- may receive Holy Communion at Mass even though they are living in a state of serious sin.
A person who dies in a state of such "mortal" sin, objectively faces eternal damnation, according to Catholic teaching.
Bishop Andreas Laun, the emeritus auxiliary bishop of Salzburg, Austria, signed the letter, Profession of the Immutable Truths About Sacramental Marriage, late last week, according to LifeSiteNews. The letter states that Pope Francis's teaching is "alien to the entire Tradition of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith."
On Dec. 31, three bishops from Kazakhstan released the letter. Several days later, two Italian bishops signed on, including former U.S. Nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. On Jan. 5, Cardinal Janis Pujats, the Archbishop Metropolitan of Riga, Latvia, put his name to the document. He was then followed by Bishop Laun of Austria.
