Clergy and laity throughout the world are aghast over a Trump-bashing documentary
that premiered in North America on October 25 in which *Pope
Francis is calling for same-sex civil unions to be legalized.
In an interview with filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky, the pope said that
homosexuals have a right to live together as family.
"Homosexuals have a right to be
a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family.
Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it."
Unfortunately, Homosexuals do not have a right to family life since they forfeit family life by mocking and forsaking family life through their LGBT activity. Nor do they have a moral right to be around others as long as they are infected with these sodomite aspirations. If they quarantine people for merely having a COVID runny nose should they not also queerantine those who are infected with this LGBT plague?
Family
life also implies the raising of children as is commonly done by homosexual
couples through adoption, so is Francis suggesting that gay couples adopt
children so that they can pedophile and pollute them from the cradle? What
manner of horror story has this pope opened the door to? “Woe to those who
scandalize the young!" (Mt. 18:7)
Francis
calls homosexuals the "children of God," deceptively implying that
they are affectionately embraced by God as they are when in fact they are
children of the devil doing the works of the devil, for which they would be
forever banished if someone didn't come along in true charity to encourage them
onto the right and shining path. They indeed were created as children of
God, which means everything in our power should be done to guard and
protect the innocence of these children through careful indoctrination and
through the admonition to avoid the occasion of sin, but it appears that
Francis has rather sought to hand these precious children over to the devil by
sanctioning illicit unions that are the work of the devil.
Speaking of these homosexual civil unions, the pope said:
“What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”
Shall we also create a civil law that protects rapists, terrorists, and thieves? Should their criminal acts be "covered" as well? It would make more sense to create protective laws for such offenders than for gays since homosexuality is a worse sin in God's eyes, being one of the four sins "crying to Heaven for vengeance."
Francis’ call for the legalization of same-sex unions coincides with his most recent move to appoint to the college of cardinals Archbishop Gregory Wilton of Washington D.C., who is an avid pro-LGBT advocate.
What the pope is calling for is what people call "gay marriage," a legal contract that affords LGBT couples the same legal protection that married people have, but he is forgetting that homosexual unions are condemned by God, and as such, may never be raised to the level of family.
Holy Writ makes it clear: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22) It was the sin of homosexuality that brought the fierce punishment of God upon Sodom and Gomorrah, but it appears that Francis is in denial of this Biblical fact.
Has he not considered St. Paul’s epistle to the Romans wherein he criminalizes those men who "have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error?" According to the Apostle, "They who do such things are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them." (Romans 1: 27, 32)
According to Holy Scripture, Francis' endorsement of LGBT-unions is encouraging a lifestyle that will inevitably bring eternal death upon all who engage in it. Is this charity or cruelty? Are we kind to neighbor by misleading him into the fire or by rescuing him from the fire? Jesus cleansed the lepers from their sickness so shouldn't the pope endeavor to cleanse homosexuals from their moral leprosy?
Strategic Hand of Satan
Unfortunately, the pope's Trump-bashing / pro-LGBT statements occur just at a time when it could swing the Catholic vote in America over to pro-LGBT Joe Biden and thus help bring about the downfall of America and consequently the world. The devil indeed is playing chess on the political board so we pray that Francis' anti-family statements do not influence the vote in America but that Americans will remain ever resolved to vote for Donald Trump who is committed to preserving traditional family values.
* It is good to point out that this latest by Francis is unprecedented and in no way represents the Papacy or the Catholic Church but the Marxist infiltration of the Church. Just as Washington today is submerged in the evils of the “deep-state” so Rome is “on the verge of capsizing.” (Benedict XVI, July 15, 2017)
Pope Francis calls for homosexual civil unions, bashes Trump in new film
Absolutely unbelievable the tidal wave of opposition Francis has created by his approval for same sex civil unions. IN just one day,CArdinals Burke,Mueller,O'Malley, Archbishops Schneider, Vigano, Cordileone (San Francisco), Strickland, and the entire BIshops Conferrence of Kerala State(India), have come out to condemn Francis. Archbishop Schneider begs this heretic Pope t retract this approval for he sake of his own immortal soul. Couldn't be more to the point.
ReplyDeleteThis is only going to grow......and Francis should be brought down and forced to resign, along wih all his appointments and supporters (Mariadiaga, etc).

That's right, the whole gay-lobby should resign or Francis should repent and throw them out, which is what he should have done long ago.
ReplyDeleteDamian,
ReplyDeleteSorry, Cordileone IS in favor of Civil Unions.

"“I would add that a civil union of this type (one which is not equated to marriage) should be as inclusive as possible, and not be restricted to two people of the same sex in a presumed sexual relationship,” he said. “There is no reason, for example, why a brother and a sister, both of whom are unmarried and support each other, should not have access to these kinds of benefits.”
For the sake of mutual benefits, the matter of sexual activity is completely irrelevant, he suggested, and therefore people’s gender or sexual orientation should not factor into such unions.
“Marriage is unique because it is the only institution that connects children to their mothers and fathers, and therefore is presumed to be a sexual relationship,” Cordileone continued. “Indeed, the sexual relationship that marriage is presumed to involve is the only kind by which children are naturally made.”
“The nature of marriage, the place of sex within a virtuous life, these great teachings of the Church come to us from God, are illuminated by reason, and do not change,” he concluded."
Based on HIS description, he would be open to incest. "and therefore people’s gender or sexual orientation should not factor into such unions." But he isn't disallowing it either.
Pope Francis is not talking about sacramental marriage for homosexuals, which he disagrees with, but favors civil unions, an arrangement that does not compromise the Church's understanding of the sacrament of marriage. The Church in Europe has lived with civil unions for centuries and now many countries thorough Europe, the Americas, Australia, New Zealand etc have voted for civil unions that include gays and lesbians. There's nothing new here.
ReplyDelete@John F. Kennedy: You need to get rid of your set of bunk beds. Sleeping on the bottom rack and bumping your head every morning has dimmed your ability to think.-----@Patrick Keenan: Civil union is a euphemism for gay marriage. The door has been propped open just a little more for the pontiff's true liberal agenda to sally forth. If you think this is where he stops and then preaches adoration of the Almighty, think again. There are many more ideas waiting to crawl out from under his rock.
ReplyDeletePatrick Keenan, there used to be a sodomite historian named Boswell who wrote a book called, "Same Sex Unions in Premodern Europe". The book was not well-received by serious historians.
ReplyDeleteSurely you don't think that degenerate same-sex unions should be legitimized by ecclesiastical and civil practice or that it's been normal for centuries?
Same sex unions are recognised as civil marriages in many countries included many states in the US. A large number of the same sex people in these unions/marriages are Catholics. The Pope does not accept the possibility of these being elevated to sacramental status in the Catholic Church. The opponents of Francis are attempting to lay this on him. They are wrong and, I think, operating out of unworthy motives.
ReplyDeleteFrancis is simply saying that the Church has a duty to face reality and to come to terms with that reality in a Christ like way. He is, in my view, simply reaffirming traditional Catholic teaching namely, that all God's children, should receive the pastoral care of the Church as Christ intends.
There are a large number of cases where adults sexually abuse children, but that doesn't mean it needs to be decriminalized.
ReplyDeleteMy non-Catholic neighbor (a typical less-than-mainstream type) likes to jab at me because of my Faith. Yesterday he said, Boy, that pope of yours just doesn’t quit, does he? Now he is blessing homosexual unions. I said, poor Francis is filled with erroneous opinions. Church Teaching remains firm and can not change. Francis has so many false ideas. Maybe he should just leave The Church and join yours. He laughed and said, you know...that is the sad truth. He’d fit right in.
ReplyDeleteI can find a teaching moment in almost every situation. Especially with Francis.
Sodomy can never be accepted by the Church.
ReplyDeleteIf Cordeleone approves of civil unions for gays, he should be thrown out too. Typical neocon Catholic.
ReplyDeleteJBQ, Tancred, and I am sure many others realize that "civil unions" is just a deceptive way to describe "gay marriage". In former times, "civil union" simply meant a man and woman who got married before a Justice of the Peace, or a Judge in a court....without any religious ceremony. They were still considered married by the state. That is what Civil Union means, and this Pope Francis knows exactly that. He is as slick as a serpent. He knows that means marriage in the secular sense....and he approves of it.It's his way of blessing ga marriage. The religious sacramental marriage in many cases (countries) is just a formality. It is the civil ceremony that governments recognize,that piece of paper which documents the union according to law.... not the religious ceremony.
Anyway, I hope the movement against this grows into a tidal wave which cleans house of Francis and his people. This morning I read an article which stated that except for his core of dissident heretic supporters around him in Casa Santa Martha, 99% of the Vatican is against Francis on this issue....massive opposition there, and growing in Europe.

David Martin....bergoglio (there is NO "francis') IS PART of the gay lobby.
ReplyDeleteand 'Patrick Keenan', you feckless, impious wank.....COUNTLESS numbers of people have now been condemned to hell because bergoglio has given them permission and approval to sodomize one another with a "papal" imprimatur.
That's the point you disingenuous wank.
Not that this is news, but it was a jew who made this film about Bergoglio.
ReplyDeleteIf there is trouble you can be sure that a jew is involved.
Of course, Bergoglio must know this and is on board with all of this civil union crap.
"Sodomy can never be accepted by the Church." True but it seems to be the sport favored by quite a few in the Roman Curia, including some old tarts in red.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:12pm. Great comment. Every. Single. Time.
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen surprisingly little written about this in the secular press. I guess the Church has become more irrelevant than I had suspected
ReplyDeletePope Francis(I hesitate to use this title) his soul is in great jeporady along with all the gay unions he approves of. He needs to shape up or ship out! DEC.
