Canon 2227 states Canon 188 does not apply to Bishops. Two ChatGPT questions.



Much logic here. Canon 2227 states that the Code of Canon law doesn't apply to the Bishops unless it is specifically stated. Canon 188 does not state that it applies to the Bishops, therefore, it doesn't.

Please see my detailed blog post concerning canon 2227 here:

https://padregeo777.blogspot.com/2022/11/kurgan-must-have-missed-canon-2227.html

So, I posted these two questions to Chat GPT concerning this. Here they are:


QUESTION 1

Me - Doesn't canon 2227 of the 1917 code of canon law state that the code doesn't even apply to the bishops except under certain circumstances?

ChatGPT said:

Yes, Canon 2227 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law does state that the bishops are generally not subject to the norms of the Code except in certain situations. Specifically, it outlines that bishops are not bound by the prescriptions of the Code regarding obedience and the authority of ecclesiastical superiors, but they must observe the laws of the Church in their own dioceses, particularly regarding matters of governance and discipline. The Code did acknowledge their unique status, noting that they possess direct jurisdiction over their dioceses and are not under the authority of other bishops or ecclesiastical superiors unless in specific cases, such as when it involves universal or higher ecclesiastical law.


In short, while bishops are expected to follow certain universal principles outlined in the Code, they aren't as strictly bound by all the provisions as other clerics, particularly when it comes to obedience and certain hierarchical structures.


QUESTION 2

Me - Does that mean that canon 188 cannot be used to sutomatically remove a bishop from office?


ChatGPT said:

Yes, you are correct in understanding that Canon 188 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, which allows for the automatic loss of office (for example, by resignation or by certain causes like heresy), generally cannot be applied to bishops in the same way it applies to other clerics.

Canon 188 specifically states that a cleric automatically loses his office if he acts in a way that causes a disqualification, such as if he abandons the office or is convicted of certain grave offenses. However, bishops are not subject to the same automatic loss of office under Canon 188. The 1917 Code of Canon Law made exceptions for bishops due to their higher ecclesiastical status and the particular nature of their role. They would typically need a decree from the Pope or some other authoritative action to remove them from office.

The idea is that the bishop's role is unique, and any action regarding his removal or deposition would require special provisions rather than a blanket automatic application of laws that might apply to other clerics.

So, while Canon 188 applies to other clerics, it doesn't automatically apply to bishops. Instead, their removal would require a formal act from the Pope or an ecumenical council or other higher authority, depending on the situation.


So simple even a Kurgan could understand it, if he would bother to read the Code in it's entirety.

The Kurgan promotes Lust and Masturbation

Image
The Kurgan is now promoting lust and masturbation as a path to martial bliss.  To set the table, let's take a look at the official Catholic definitions of "Lust" and "Mastubation" LUST - A disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes. Source - Catechism of the Catholic Church 1992 - #2351 MASTURBATION - The deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. Masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action. The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to it's purpose. Source - CCC - #2351 And we also see by the sin of Onan, who God slew, God does not approve of contraception, which Onan was guilty of by "pulling out" and wasting his seed on the ground.

Pope Francis says that all religions lead to God, and he is absolutely correct.

Before all of you "trad" and "faithful" christians or catholics get your shorts in a bunch and start in with the rash judgement, let's take a deep breath..... Breath in....... Hold,,,,,, Breath out.        Breath in........Hold........Breath out...... OK. Now that we have relaxed our muscles and a we have a brain full of oxygen, let's discuss. The article is here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-pope-francis-every-religion-is-a-way-to-arrive-at-god/ Now, let's break down the article, and analyze what is said and the context in which it was said. " Pope Francis today told young people of different faiths that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.” Addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore just before departing for his return flight to Rome, Pope Francis turned to one of the central themes of his pontificate – inter-religious dialogue." So far, so good. The Pope is speaking to a group of young people of di...

Three Marriages, No Annulments — The Domestic Contradiction of The Kurgan

“Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled.” — Hebrews 13:4 The Kurgan never misses a chance to attack others for their failings, especially in matters of faith. He’s the first to declare someone “not a real Catholic,” denounce “fake clergy,” or assign people to the flames for liturgical imperfection. But when it comes to his own life , a strange silence takes hold. Or worse—an open contradiction. In his latest blog post, “The Cowards,” he casually admits: “I made plenty of errors too. Twice divorced and many women in between. BUT… I am now happily married with a sixth kid on the way.” The problem? He has never mentioned a single annulment . And as far as anyone can tell, he doesn’t recognize any ecclesiastical authority capable of granting one. After all, in his view, the Church has been “fake” since 1958. Which means this supposed champion of tradition and canon law is—by his own admission— on his third marriage, with no canonical process, n...
