    So, so, so, so, so, so simple and beautiful. Thank you for posting this! God bless her! What a Saint! May the bishops and the Holy Father listen to her, and hear her!

    Let's pray for this brave girl!

    Wow! What a courageous woman. This is the Truth and it binds us all together rather than tearing us apart. It is the Truth which is the salve for all our wounds, self inflicted or not.
    We all fall short of the glory of God, we all are sinners begging the undeserved condescension of God's Mercy. What can we do to unite in Truth rather than be divided by lies and false teachings. This is what the Synod should be striving to understand.

    The Church has to take a corporal stance in things of this nature, stating the Truth that has been handed down faithfully for millennia. The Fathers of the Church already did the work for this.
    The confessional is the place for individual reconciliation and counsel but this is not it seems what the leadership of the Church is advocating. Instead, using the youth of this day it wishes to change the corporal view of the Church or repress it to become more accommodating and hold a dialogue in which it then advocates another way. Hold Fast to the Truth.

    I would give anything to see the look on the faces of the Bishops who read this letter.

    How wonderful. I believe the area in our souls were we are weakest becomes in the end , thorugh the grace of God our greatest strength. It is a bit like breaking a leg, that part of our leg when we heal becomes our strongest.

    One thing that has become very clear over the course of this Pontificate is that the Church leadership has planted both feet firmly on the path of the Protestant in that mankind and its institutions are and always have been completely and totally corrupt and has no redeeming value nor is capable of being redeemed and ought to simply carry on in our sins self assured of the Mercy of God on the day of our judgement.
    This I think is the basis for this entire charade of so called dialogue with the hand picked "representation of the youth."
    It is completely false and there are many who can and do give their testimony like the woman above to others of their Hope of redemption. God can and does grant us the Grace we need to overcome the flesh in these matters that damn us to hell. Nobody said the journey would not be arduous but Our Lord left us many ways to combat the evils of this world if only we seek Him and ask.

    You know I read the most interesting report on an exorcism done in the USA many years ago on an ex Episcopalian clergyman who was , 'Transgender' and afflicted with a Spirit of Impurity.

    Anyway the exorcist commented from what he had learnt in carrying out the Rite was that we are not simply male and female physically but male and female spiritually too. Our very souls are male or female. This seems to gel very well scientifically with what we know of the human mind and body. But what this means is if we have, say, a male soul and wish to behave as a female we are living this really huge lie.

    Having a Great Devotion to the Blessed Virgin as I do and getting to know her so well , as well as so many of the female saints ; male and female is very , very different to the very core of our being. Those who choose to be homosexual (and yes it is a choice) they militate against something that is imprinted in our very souls. Doing massive, massive harm to themselves. No wonder the huge suicide rate.

    It is a charade, they are using these poor , poor young people. So sad. Having said this and I know there were folks in the Vatican trying to manipulate them , the goodness and idealism of these young folks tends to shine right on through. How horrible to use the young like this. As though they were objects, not people. Simply to be used for their horrid agenda.

    Yes.... in years past, homosexual folks would blame their huge suicide rates on "not being accepted ". Well, maybe decades ago that was true, but certainly not now. The misery, loneliness, inner division, sadness, lostness, and restlessness of these people is deeply noticeable. As is the often demonic appearance of their eyes, as if something else were looking out at you, however briefly. They kill themselves because they are miserable. Out and proud, but haunted, lonely, conflicted, far from God, and unsure of why nothing makes them happy. Homosexual desires are like a craving for alcohol, or crack cocaine. Once you give in to those feeling, it is very difficult to stop. I think the young lady touched on that very well.

    I think that “out and proud” is sort of like whistling past a grave yard. False bravado. They are —at least the ones I know—so deeply distressed in the profound emptiness of their souls because they do everything to make it acceptable and normal and okay but their consciences cannot entirely be silenced. If they shut down every single Bible verse and forcibly silenced every Christian on the face of the earth it would bring no peace. In this way I believe it is particularly devilish because the end result is despair. It is tragic on every level.

    So very true. Malachi Martin recounts a very similar exorcism in Hostage to the Devil. Tremendous insight into the demonic nature of this affliction.

    Yes, this is the one I mean. I wasn't sure so I didn't cite.

    I am going to reread it. It is more timely now than when the book came out. An horrific account but full of insight into the demonic plan for men and women.

    I found with Malachi Martin a lot of his stuff sticks in the memory, more nor less forever. Perhaps because he was such a great story teller and had such interesting things to say; the same with Fulton Sheen.

    I have to agree. Both were gifted story tellers and both had keen analytical abilities. Listening to Bishop Sheen’s talks right before he died I would say prophetic. MM as well. rereading that case in the book shows this whole sexual confusion problem is a demonic plot. It goes beyond sexual dysphoria—it is literally diabolical.
