Cardinal McElroy attributes opposition to Fiducia supplicans to “anti-gay sentiment.”

After Pope Francis recently stated that the resistance to the Fiducia supplicans declaration concerns “small groups” of “hypocrites,” one of his close confidants in the USA, Cardinal Robert McElroy, Bishop of San Diego, followed up and claimed that the resistance to widespread homophobia in church circles was going away.

Much of the opposition to Rome's permission for priests to bless gay couples and other couples who find themselves in an objectively sinful position is based not on doctrinal principles, Cardinal McElroy said, but on a "long-standing hostility" against gays and lesbians. The notorious US Bergoglian made this statement at a congress on the subject of the Synodality Synod sponsored by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles .

“It is entirely legitimate for a priest to personally refuse to perform the blessings described in Fiducia supplicans because he believes that this would undermine the strength of marriage,” said the cardinal. But it is “particularly troubling in our own country that resistance to Fiducia focuses overwhelmingly on the blessing of people in same-sex relationships and less on men and women in canonically invalid heterosexual relationships.”

 

As is well known, there are no limits to dialectics. It is now known that Cardinal McElroy, as Bishop of San Diego, does not object to the blessing of gay couples or other irregular relationships. But he wants to criticize the critics of Fiducia supplicans all the more and thus accommodate the Bergoglian agenda. The “logic” is even used that the criticism of the papal homosexual agenda cannot be valid because other irregular situations are not also criticized. 

This dialectical game from the mouth of a cardinal sounds like this:

“If the reason for rejecting these blessings is indeed that such a practice dilutes and undermines the marital bond, then the rejection should be at least equally focused on the blessings for these heterosexual relationships in our country. We all know why this is not the case.” Because, says McElroy, there is “a long-standing hostility from too many people towards LGBT people.”

The sinner, who is a criminal in the eyes of God, is declared a victim, and the critics of public sin are labeled hypocrites. Bergoglio lo vult.

It is not the only insinuation that Cardinal McElroy makes to defend Fiducia supplicans . He claims that the critics of the Roman declaration do not act in defense of the truth of the faith, i.e. for compelling, objective and well-founded reasons, but out of subjective arbitrariness because they have an aversion to homosexuals. For progressives like McElroy, homosexuality is not a problem; its sinfulness is swept under the carpet, at best mentioned in an unheard aside, and there is no longer any talk of it being one of the four blatant sins.

No, this has nothing to do with the doctrine of faith, says McElroy, whom Francis made a cardinal because of his merits, such as this statement, but only with personal, arbitrary aversions.

And everything has been clarified dogmatically and morally anyway, says McElroy, since Fiducia supplicans does not force any bishop or priest to give gay blessings. If one follows the Bergoglian US cardinal, this option regulation makes any check as to whether Fiducia supplicans is orthodox  or heterodox superfluous.

The Cardinal of Francis' grace appears to be a master of obfuscation and attempts to raise false questions in order to distract from the real ones. It goes without saying that McElroy reiterates that “no doctrinal change was made” with Fiducia supplicans.

Progressive churchmen like McElroy have a clear agenda, but for the purpose of deception they do not say it openly and distort the facts. The legalization of homosexuality is the most important point of the Bergoglian agenda.
