His mother must weep with gratitude at her prayers being answered!
His love is everything. I can’t wait until I’m able to know Him just as I have been known by Him, when there’s no longer the barrier of my sin. Sometimes I’m so hungry I can taste it. The troubles we’re allowed to experience here have definitely filled me with a longing for what is to come. But I have His presence and love here also, and it is enough to sustain and carry me. That’s what I want everybody to have, because - as one songwriter has said - “Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me”, and that’s the only commodity we can truly say that about. And the only thing we really need.
And it did scandalize them. Many turned from following Jesus because He said they had to eat His flesh.
It was a scandal that followed His followers too, since one of the claims of the Romans that was used to demonize the early Christians was that they were cannibals because they claimed to be eating the real flesh of Christ in holy communion.
“...had sex with more than 1000 men.”

Suppose I say that the sinking of the Titanic is a metaphor for the state of European civilization on the brink of WWI, that doesn’t mean there was no REAL Titanic.
Clement says that the flesh and blood of Jesus that we receive in the Eucharist are also a suitable metaphor for how we “eat” and “drink” the Holy Spirit.
There isn’t one word in that passage in which Clement denies the Real Presence.
This is an experience I’ve had many times. Someone says: “Here’s a passage in Scripture (or a passage from the writings of saint or a Father of the Church) that proves such-and-such a Catholic dogma was denied by the early Church.” And it turns out to be a total misreading, like this misreading of Clement of Alexandria.
They weren’t true “Catholics”. They infiltrated the Church to take it down-—destroy it. Bella Dodd writes about the infiltration (and was killed). Fr. Oko’s Report also explains the homosexual mindset and it’s warped worldview-—which makes people struggling with homosexuality unfit for the priesthood.
It is on Homoheresy . If you “think” as a homosexual-—all your perceptions of self and others/opp. sex is warped to such a degree, it affects all your interactions and warps your understanding of Catholic Theology/God.
Being a homosexual priest is like saying you are a Catholic Afghani muslim. It is impossible to have two opposing worldviews. God’s Design of man and woman is fundamental to the worldview of Christianity and homosexuals can not understand Natural Laws or relate to other men in an honest way—of true friendship which can never contain Lust. It is fundamental to the Catholic Canon and priesthood that men can control lust in the seminary. You can not expect it of homosexuals living in close quarters with other men.

Well since the "pornographer" of the article attributes the Mass with saving him from a homosexual hell and connecting him with Jesus Christ, I'd say that his way works.
Of course, I know a lot of people who have found that your way works, too.
But that can't be, can it? I mean, the thought that Jesus might reach people in more than one way is ludicrous on its face. First of all, there is no way that Jesus has the power to do such a thing. And second of all, for Jesus to reach people through the Mass would mean that He would be doing something different, dare I say it, from what YOU teach.
And not even God would allow that.
Great article. Thanks for posting it.
I pray that the Lord will give us all wisdom, courage, and faithfulness to engage in the important battles and to do so in a way that offers life and hope to those trapped.

Good on you for continuing to try, editor.
The mass (sic) proves that the mass (sic) is worse than worthless.

How? It certainly has been wonderfully worthwhile for me.
Very good explanation, susie. This is why homosexuals are no longer permitted to enter the seminary.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it.
The Mass is a form of worship of God the Father, God the Son (Yeshua) and God the Holy Spirit. Where is this denial? God looks upon the heart rather than upon the form of worship ritual.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Well, the point isn’t that a gay porno actor quit doing gay stuff. The point is that he attributes the cause of stopping as having something to do with the Catholic Church, so it must be a case of a bad guy still being bad, just in a different way.
Obviously.

Yeesh. Good to get the truth out.
The mass is a total defiance of the word of Yehova, from beginning to end.
Belief that the mass can save is a sure ticket to the lake that burns.
The mass has connected him with a false “christ” that will forgo his judgement simply “because he meant well.”
In short it has sealed his path to the lake that burns, unless he wakes up.
