When Krysta affirms to Daryl that as long as he remains part of the SSPX, they cannot date, Daryl searches for a way out. In an act of desperation, he approaches Iimi. How will she answer him in a way that doesn't "win the argument but lose the arguer?"
Pre-Comic Notes:
Because I'm
sure certain Radical Traditionalists and Anti-Catholics who read this will
object to the cover/verse combination, read page 9 before posting angry
comments.
Post-Comic
Notes:
While I
pray the misreporting on the "Pope okays transgender baptism" stories
will be corrected by the time this comic is published, see HERE for the actual text if it is
not.
The removal of Bishop Strickland from his diocese happened while I was working on the final production. So, it only got a few mentions in this story. But this incident would not change the story. If we trust God to protect His Church, we can trust that the Pope cannot teach error. That doesn't mean a "Pope teaching error" loses teaching authority. We can trust God to prevent the Pope from binding us to error."
It's no contest when it comes to following the Pope or following a bishop who opposes him. We must obey the Pope. The bishop loses his authority when he teaches in opposition to the successor of Peter.
In regards to scandal-mongering headlines about the Pope dining with transgender individuals, which came out after this comic was finalized, I’ll share what I wrote on my Facebook page:
“In other news, Jesus dines with prostitutes and tax collectors. Pope Francis is doing the same kind of thing… reaching out to the sinners with love.
Before we are tempted to act outraged, let’s not forget what Jesus said to the Pharisees who acted like that.”
