Pope Francis: The Destroyer prophesied by Saint Francis?
La Salette Journey ^ | September 15, 2014 | Paul Melanson

Irish Central reports:

"Pope Francis continues to amaze. He married 20 couples on Sunday in Rome several of them “living in sin” having had children outside marriage.

'The people getting married on Sunday are couples like many others,' the diocese of Rome said in a statement. 'Some already live together, some already have children.'

The Pope said marriage was 'real life, not some TV show.'

In marrying them he he kicked away one of the bulwark beliefs of the sex-obsessed hierarchy in the old church, the belief that sex outside marriage was a heinous and immoral act.

All of us Irish Catholics grew up with that unfortunate characterization of those who did not conform to the absolute orthodoxy of only having sex and children within marriage.

All others were fallen sinners. This led to some mighty hypocrisy on all sides as fallen men and women were considered far below the virtuous few – most of whom on closer scrutiny were not such virtuous souls.

I think that most Catholics would love to be treated by the Vatican and the Catholic leadership, the way that they treat the Kennedys and the other Catholic politicians of the Democrat party.

Most Catholics would love to join Pelosi and Biden in taking communion at the Vatican, most Catholics vote democrat, and would share in the respect shown the numerous Catholic leaders of the democrat party as an endorsement of their shaping of America.
