....What is most telling about this document is what it doesn’t say: nowhere are the faithful warned of the temporal and eternal consequences of sexual sin; nowhere are homosexuals, adulterers, fornicators, or those who commit other sins against Christian marriage called to repentance and conversion; nowhere are those in irregular “unions” called to live chastely in order to receive holy communion; nowhere are the faithful given the hope of being delivered from their sins and living in a state of grace; nowhere is the salvation of souls included as a priority. Clearly, the whole thrust of this document is to weaken the Church’s resolve in opposing the forces of modernity in redefining the family, even at the expense of doctrine. This disgraceful “relatio post disceptationem” must be repudiated by good Catholics at every level, and this train-wreck of a Synod publicly denounced.

From the FULL REPORT (just below the article) at:
Read it and weep:
“Welcoming homosexual persons
Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community: are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a fraternal space in our communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that offers them a welcoming home. Are our communities capable of providing that, accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?
The question of homosexuality leads to a serious reflection on how to elaborate realistic paths of affective growth and human and evangelical maturity integrating the sexual dimension: it appears therefore as an important educative challenge. The Church furthermore affirms that unions between people of the same sex cannot be considered on the same footing as matrimony between man and woman. Nor is it acceptable that pressure be brought to bear on pastors or that international bodies make financial aid dependent on the introduction of regulations inspired by gender ideology.
Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions it has to be noted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners. Furthermore, the Church pays special attention to the children who live with couples of the same sex, emphasizing that the needs and rights of the little ones must always be given priority.”
ET, I realize how important you are but would you mind if I found out what the final report was first?
If I'm off base here, just let me know and I will denounce them in obedience to you.
Thanks.
The truth always discriminates. That is the nature of Truth that it must reject falsehoods.
The audacity of this Pope, who dares to stir up this mess at a time when Christian morality is already under attack from all directions, is horrifying. Instead of providing clear, consistent teaching based upon the Deposit of Faith, he is leading souls into confusion and destruction. It is obvious that his lavender minions are driving this train exactly where HE wants it to go.
To all Catholics, it is time to acknowledge that Pope Francis is NOT our friend. The fix is in, and Francis has been stacking the deck with his “team” for several months now.
This is just the beginning. He will stack the deck with appointments like Cupich in Chicago. Watch how quickly Cupich is made a Cardinal while Archbishops like Chaput in Philly get passed over. His goal is to get a majority of his buddies on the College of Cardinals so as to control who gets selected as his successor.
“... as was in the times of Noah and in Sodom and Gomorrah....”
Contact (FReep) your Bishop! Tell him that you don’t like the way this is going. Tell him you are for the Sacrament of Matrimony as it has always been as well as the support of a natural family.
God bless!
