Before the Synod: Family Minister "Flashes" Homophilic Signals -- Secretary Shoved Off to Malta

(Rome) On July 4th, Pope Francis proclaimed Msgr. Jean Laffitte, Secretary of the Pontifical Family Council,  as the new Prelate of the Sovereign Order of Malta. Is there really to be, before the Synod of Bishops on the Family in the fall, a reshuffle of the second most important office in the Congregation on Family?  Meanwhile,  the President of the Council on Family  "flashes" with the homophilic signals.

Born in Oloron-Sainte-Marie in 1952,  Laffitte studied political science at the University of Toulouse, then philosophy and theology at the Gregorian University in Rome, followed by a specialization in moral theology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute,  for Studies on Marriage and Family. In 1989 he received the Sacrament of Holy Orders in Autun.  From 1994, he taught anthropology, spirituality and marital ethics at the Institute.

In 2003 he was appointed by Pope John Paul II. as Consultor of the CDF and shortly before his death in 2005, the Undersecretary of the Pontifical Council for the Family. A task which Pope Benedict XVI. confirmed him in and also  appointed him Vice President of the Pontifical Academy for.

In 2009  Benedict XVI. elevated him to Titular Bishop of Entrevaux  and promoted him to the Secretary of the Family Council.

Reshuffle in the Council on Family before Synod of Bishops?

The "Family Minister" of the Vatican Ironically "flashes"  homphilic signals

Curial Bishop Laffitte follows  Msgr. Angelo Acerbi in his new office,  who was appointed in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. as prelate of the Order of Malta. , Titular Archbishop Acerbi who was born in 1925 had been awarded this post of honor after almost 50 years in the diplomatic service of the Holy See. 

The Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, Fra Matthew Festing thanked Msgr. Acerbi  for his many years of service as Spiritual Assistant of the Order and greeted Msgr. Laffitte as his successor.

The prelate is the religious superior of the clergy, as far as their priestly duties. He also watches over the religious and priestly life and their apostolate chaplains of the order and in the spirit of the Order of Malta. He is the Grand Master and the Grand Commander in religious issues aside, affecting 13,500 religious members.

The right of appointment is  the pope's who selects the prelates from a shortlist of three candidates from the Grand Master, which is  submitted  after obtaining the opinion of the Order Council. First, however, the Order asks about any preferred candidate of the holy chair.

The prelate supports the Cardinal Patronus in the exercise of his religious duties. The Cardinal Patron since the  autumn of 2014 is Raymond Cardinal Burke, who was removed by Pope Francis from the Roman Curia, and thus the direction of the universal Church.

For the time being  Msgr. Laffitte remains also Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Family . A replacement has not been announced. Unlike his predecessor Acerbi, who was appointed upon reaching the age limit of 75 years, the Frenchman has just turned 63. This leads to speculation about a possible forthcoming reshuffle in the Vatican "Ministry of Family." Msgr. Laffitte is considered as a defender of the marriage sacrament, while his immediate superior, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia Curia, is more  of a stand out for really homophilic expressions.

Msgr. Paglia's "slick signals"

The Public Italian Prosecutor has identified Msgr. Paglia of the Community of Sant'Egidio  (see Investigation Against the President of the Pontifical Family Council and Kasperianer Paglia ). Ecclesiastically  Archbishop Paglia  is controversial due  to his "openings" toward homosexuality, which is especially astonishing precisely because of his duties as "Family Minister" of the Vatican. On Whit Monday, 25 May, Paglia also took part in the secret meetings of Kasperians at the Gregorian  (see The Church's "Illuminati" - List of Catholic Secret Societies ).

This past June 25, Paglia addressed a press conference before the 8th World Meeting of Families  on the 22-27th September 2015 which will be held in Philadelphia. Pope Francis will come to Philadelphia as part of his US trip. Paglia was asked if the Family meeting will  also  "be open for homosexual couples."  The  Vatican "Family Minister" said: "We follow the letter of the Instrumentum Laboris of the Synod. All may come, no one excluded. And if someone feels excluded, I leave the 99 sheep and get him."

"A neutral-sounding, but really slick turn of phrase," so says Riscossa Christiana. Despite "pastoral" embellishment, but without any addition, Paglia had thus signaled an acceptance of homosexuality. Given  Paglias previous homophilic comments, it's a signal he desires to send.

It's a recognition which stands in open contradiction to Catholic teaching.

The Homoheresy in the Church Today -- Benedict XVI. Established a Clear Ban for Their Ordination

Dariuscz Oko Warns Against Homoheresy and Homomafia
in the Church

(Rome) Two years ago, the Polish Catholic journal Fronda published a long essay, which was also taken up by the German Catholic journal Theologisches. The subject of the review was the "Homohäresie" and the existence of a "gay mafia" in the Catholic Church. The author described the existence of a network of homosexual priests at all levels of the Church hierarchy, including the Roman Curia, who cover for  each other.

The author of the explosive essay is the Polish priest Dariusz Oko, assistant professor of philosophy at the Pontifical Theological Academy of Cracow and the Pontifical University of John Paul II. of Krakow and pastor at St. Hedwig's parish in this city. In his essay, Oko recalled that more than 80 percent of the so-called pedophilia cases of clerics in the US are in reality cases of ephebophilia and are aimed at male adolescents. The numbers coincide with those of the CDF, which speaks of 90 percent,  facts that had been systematically suppressed in public. "Factual investigations show that the extent of the problem in the Catholic Church is still the lowest. Why then is she the one mainly spoken of? According to research,  in a thousand cases of pedophila or ephebophilia there is only one is related to  the Catholic Church in the United States, about 3-5 per  ten thousand, says Oko in Theologisches (42) 9-10 / 2012 .

However Oko also showed the difficulties of priests and seminarians, who oppose the homosexual network in the church: "If the rector or other supervisor try to expel one, then it may be that they theselves are expelled and not the homo-cleric. Or should a vicar try to defend young people from the parish from a priest who commits sexual assault, he is harassed, disciplined and treated and not the priest, "because the decisions makers to whom they refer, are themselves part of the gay lobby.

"If some indiscretions are verified, which is leaked  from the Vatican palaces, it would be an international network with hundreds of clerics of all rank levels," said the Vatican expert Marco Tosatti. Tosatti conducts an interview with, Dariusz Oko on this subject.  The  pontificate of Benedict XVI  was kept under continuous bombardment with the pedophile scandal.  With the new pontificate it  was "completely forgotten", says  Tosatti.

Homoheresy is the Rejection of the Church's Teaching on Homosexuality

Marco Tosatti: Two years ago you had mapped the situation in the Church in your thorough study. Has something changed since then?

Dariusz Oko: Certainly my study has touched on a widespread problem that exists almost everywhere. Only in this way can it be explained that they made the rounds around the world within a few weeks. In many countries, translations were made: from English to German, Italian and Czech, Slovak and Estonian ... It seems to me that the problem is addressed in my study is perceived more consciously.

Marco Tosatti: You talk in your work of Homoheresy. What are their characteristics?

Dariusz Oko: The Homoheresy is a rejection of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church on homosexuality. The representatives of Homoheresy do not accept that the homosexual inclination is a personality disorder. They doubt that homosexual acts are unnatural. The defenders of Homoheresy are for the ordination of homosexuals. The Homoheresy is an ecclesiastical version of homosexualism.

Marco Tosatti: In 2005 the Congregation for Catholic Education published  an important document by Pope Benedict XVI. that prohibits the ordination of homosexuals. Why this document?

Dariusz Oko: Since the 70s of the 20th century, a new type has entered in many seminars and monasteries around the world, who view human sexuality contrary to the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church on homosexuality. The consequence  was that it started on all continents in so many diocesan seminaries and monasteries, to represent the idea that there are two equivalent sexual orientations: a heterosexual and a homosexual. Thus, it was that clerics were only chaste, to be understood as abstaining from unclean actions, and demanded the ability to live celibacy, without further  asking about their sexual orientation or their inclinations. In this way, it became necessary to define homosexuality as an inclination and personality structure explicitly as an objective obstacle to the ordination.

Marco Tosatti: Was this requirement from 2005, which prohibits the priesthood for homosexuals, used to your knowledge?

Dariusz Oko: I am not responsible for training at seminaries. Therefore, I do not know how this ban is handled in different countries. This question should be directed to those responsible for the formation of future priests.

Marco Tosatti: Since you have published your survey, the Pope has changed. Do you see any difference in attitude between the two popes in connection with the problem?

Dariusz Oko: It is difficult to speak of any difference. Fundamentally, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church does not change and the forbids the ordination of homosexuals. The Magisterium in  force led to a contrast to previous distinction between active and passive homosexuality a distinction between a temporary homosexual inclination, which occurs in late puberty, and the deep-rooted inclination. Both forms of homosexuality and not only active homosexuality represent an obstacle for the priesthood. Homosexuality is incompatible with the priestly vocation. Therefore, not only the ordination of men with homosexual inclination (even if only temporarily) is strictly forbidden, but  their admission to the seminary as well.

Catholics Are Not Welcome at “Liturgy” Celebrating Homoheresy by Bishop Gumbleton

Edit: Gomorrah “Masses” in Detroit at evil IHM Sister college will continue indefinitely at present.

Old Liberal Archbishop Advocates Same-Sex "Blessings" and Deaconesses

Edit: in most accounts of this, the homoheresy are being buried in the way this is hitting the US media.  They always seem to miss something.  Cadinal Zollitsch is a habitual enabler of aberrosexualism.

Also, Cardinal Kasper is in the same boat. And there’s some suspiciously sub-par reporting from the commerce bloggers at Patheos, which doesn’t even mention +Zollitsch’s full statement.

(Freiburg im Breisgau) Always the same talk of reform, forever old issues, meaningless language. At the end of  the Freiburg Diocesan Assembly  which met from Thursday to Sunday, Archbishop Robert Zollitsch has announced plans to implement the 300 delegate approved recommendations for developed proposals for church reform. 300 "Christians and experts" from the Archdiocese had worked in groups, such as "Church must change”  to a "changing society” and continuing “to be close to Christ and the people" -  such is the motto of the Diocesan Assembly.  The chairman of the German Bishops’ Conference is quoted to say: "Nothing is forgotten or lost. I am responsible for ensuring that the issues remain on the table ".

Among other things, Archbishop Zollitsch wants to make a strong proposal for a "specific diaconal ministry for women". He was doing this "on the basis of the teaching of the Catholic Church." Another point concerns the admission requirements of remarried divorcees to receive the Holy Eucharist. "I am concerned without putting the indissolubility of marriage in question, to take the women and men affected seriously.” [We’d think that has been done already by the Church historically speaking] The Archdiocese of Freiburg is therefore considering a so-called pastoral "handout" to "encourage companionship" for all parishes issue that could officially authorize example remarried to Eucharistic reception under the condition that those concerned acknowledge in conversations with pastors expressed that their first marriage was not terminated lightly. Furthermore, a new form of blessing should be given for a second marriage.

Other reform proposals that Archbishop Zollitsch  would check and implement where possible, relate to Blessing Celebrations for same-sex couples and the possibility that women may preach in Sunday services.

Boy Scouts About to Cave in to Homoheresy

Edit: The Eye Witness made some trenchant observations, and it looks like this is what the Boy Scouts are in for.  We wonder, will there be special badges and Scout manuals celebrating perversity?

(Reuters) - The Boy Scouts of America on Friday moved to partially lift its long-standing ban on gays, with a decision that would allow openly gay youth members but continue to bar gay adults in one of the largest youth serving organizations in America.

If the resolution is approved in a nationwide vote in May, "no youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone," Deron Smith, the organization's spokesman, told Reuters.

The report found religious groups linked to the Scouts were concerned with homosexual adult leaders not with youth and concluded "a change in the membership policy specific to youth only would be consistent with the religious beliefs of the BSA's major chartered organizations."

Gay rights groups want the ban lifted for youth and adults and the proposal immediately drew criticism.

Damian Thompson Breaks a Lance For Sodom

Edit: does being sinful in any regard make you exempt from stating the Church's teachings, even if you have been a Liberal for most of your career? If anyone is hypocritical, it's Thompson, who embarks on an ecclesiastical hissy fit of dramatic proportions in an all-too familiar conditioned response to fallen churchmen. How much longer before Damian out and swims the Thames in a fit of rage?

Here's an excerpt from the increasingly anti-Catholic Torygraph:

I'm deeply unimpressed by Cardinal Keith O'Brien's vague and guarded admission that "there have been times that my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal". Does he really think he can leave it at that? After raging against gay marriage with a ferocity that was – I suspect – intended to make the English bishops look wimpish and therefore butter up the Vatican?

Scottish Catholics in particular have the right to ask: What the hell do you mean by "sexual conduct"?

And what are we supposed to make of this? "In recent days certain allegations which have been made against me have become public. Initially, their anonymous and non-specific nature led me to contest them."

Benedictine Monastery Continues to Promote Homoheresy

Edit: the Guesthouse Master at the Modernist Monastery in Collegeville is speaking publicly against chastity and the teachings of the Catholic Faith. When he’s not attacking the Archbishop’s efforts to defend the Catholic Family, he’s promoting nude retreats, and getting away with it despite repeated warnings from the local ordinary.

Courageous  [sic] priest joins us in February to uphold church teaching on the fundamental call to show respect and compassion for LGBTQ persons. 

Fr. Bob Pierson, a Benedictine priest out of the Collegeville MN Abbey in Minnesota, stood forth publicly last summer to emphasize the primacy of the informed conscience in respect to voting on Minnesota's marriage amendment. Since then he's been barred from several dioceses in Minnesota. He'll join us in this QCF conversation to speak also of the church teaching to show respect, love and compassion to our LGBTQ sisters and brothers, and to resist unjust discrimination. How is the whole church challenged by these teachings? 

The conversation begins at 9:00 EASTERN, Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Attendace is free, as usual, and all are invited to submit live questions and comments during the hour.
