Okay we need the context and authentic translation of the popes comments. Was he talking about same sex persons in their own personal families experiencing hostility? This needs to be clarified asap.
Love and prayer. I agree with you, Mario, and thank you for the reminder. I too have occasional dark moments. I was born and raised Protestant, was so 53 of my 55 years. Apparently I got rather conditioned to "Vote the pastor OUT!" Which isn't loving or prayerful.
Apparently, you can pay $5 this weekend and watch a live stream of the movie. https://filmfest.scad.edu/node/3801 I'll continue praying for Pope Francis and all of the confusion in the church. This in no way helps the discussions I've been having with my (Protestant) family about how Catholic teaching can't contradict apostolic tradition. Defining "ex cathedra," magisterial authority, etc. won't help in this type of discussion.
Francis openly stated shortly after his election that he might be the Pope who provokes a schism in the Church. His role is to defend the truth as handed down to us not contradicting some of those truths. Let's face it, the veneration of idols was the end of the road, a signal sin that was so offensive it should have resulted in a general revolt against his papacy, the failure of cardinals and bishops to hold him to account for that was a signal to him that he could do anything and that most of the hierarchy would stand for it. His papacy (if ever valid) ended with Pachamama if not before and if those with the power to remove him did not do so, it is their fault and not ours. We are merely witnesses to Satan's final attempt to take over God's Church and the end of the 100 years of chaos foretold by Pope Leo XIII. This will be over in 2021, in my view, that being the centenary of the final victory of Soviet Communism against the White Russian armies.
One cannot use evil means to achieve a good end. Homosexual partnership is evil and can never justify 'parenthood'. And this 'playing house' is completely against Natural Law and can only be to the detriment of the children. The Gates of Hell shall not prevail, but they have opened.
I am in shock ..so in shock....really. I can see how the Church is being split...I too always gave him the benefit of the doubt..but this is not Church teaching.. this is against the bible and God Himself. Of course we love all people, but this is too far..he is condoning their life-style legally and Ii will be a matter of time that priests will marry gay couples. The Virgin Mary's messages are ringing so loudly in my ears right now...stay with the true magesterium of the Church... how are the priests around the world going to deal with this? What's next? I almost feel we are losing our leader, our Apostle. Who is going to lead the sheep? I'm so sad, I'm in tears.. need to pray so much more. God have mercy.
I didn't think there would actually be an October event or surprise. This is one for sure. Guess to Francis the 10 Commandments were just suggestions or recommendations. Unfortunately for Francis, God's plan for marriage is decided by God. I've been thinking about how the real persecution of Catholics would happen. I figured it would take Trump losing and Francis getting replaced with a traditional, conservative pope before it would happen. Not surprisingly I was wrong. This alone is the perfect way to get it rolling. If Biden gets in, shortly after there will be no protections for Catholics and Christians that stay on the narrow road, short of Divine intervention.
What a strange day today was! I have returned to work today so had to attend 7am mass in the Novus Ordo Clonard Monastery. I felt so uncomfortable because I was the only one not wearing a mask. Only the priest was allowed to sing from the altar but I sung anyway. Their were spray machines in the Confession boxes. I felt like a stranger in a strange day. All the Churches in the South of Ireland have closed again. But here in the North they are still open. Watched Fr Hardon while doing the housework, this brought calm. Reading Bishop Schneider, such a joy. Later I walked up the road with the dogs. Lockdown for winter in full swing. Shops closed, children off school, roads and pavements almost deserted. So bizarre a feeling once again. Like being in a Science Fiction film. A feeling of the rug being puled from under me. Then tonight hearing the news about Our Holy Father. A feeling of sheer sick horror. Rushing to check in the faint hope it might not be true. It was. I came across a post on Face Book from a dear devout Catholic lady/friend from Montana in the USA. She suggested that the Holy Father had been misunderstood. I placed a comment and agreed with her, suggesting that his brain might be occupied by Aliens who forced him to say such things. I asked who are we to Judge? That we might ourselves find our brains taken over by Aliens and not be responsible for our own words and actions. I suggested we might contact experts at NASA to have the Aliens. Expelled. This cheered me up. Aliens in the Holy Fathers Brain. The day keeps getting stranger and stranger. Whatever next? He is of course in no way responsible. Whatever next? By the way whatever Aliens are in the Holy Fathers brains are not Catholic Aliens.
This film IS NOT commissioned by the Vatican. NOT directed by any priest,bishop or cardinal. This is purely from the interpretation of some lay director, his own masonic demonic modernist view of what the pope is trying to do. ‘I support civil unions of gays’ — did this really come out from pope francis mouth or is the director just putting words in his mouth?
Its Aliens. They've taken over his brains. Call NASA. We need help. https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c2a7.htm The Church's ultimate trial 675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576 676 The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgment. The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism,577 especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism.578 677 The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection.579 The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God's victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven.580 God's triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgment after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world.581
He has a known history of supporting gay civil unions, so of course it’s real. Being this credulous in the face of facts to the contrary does the Catholic Faith and the faithful no good whatsoever; honestly it just makes Catholics who continue to defend this pope’s errors despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, look like examples of all the worst “papolatry” stereotypes the anti Catholics have thrown at us the last half a millennium.
And then there is this https://www.catholicleague.org/pope-weighs-in-on-civil-unions-for-gays/ Satan causes confusion
Both you and I have posted this. Me twice, once on two different threads. We are triple teaming everyone, Lynn!
Taylor says that PF is trying to force a schism...he says he knows this from unimpeachable sources. And that we musnt fall for it.
