The MSM took what the Pope said on the airplane (about a homosexual who is trying to live a holy life), that is, “Who am I to judge?” and ran with only half the story, giving the impression that Pope Francis approved of some way of homosexual acts.
Wrong. HERE
This Pope is not a liberal when it comes to doctrine. He doesn’t think that homosexual sex is okay.
I have been saying for a couple years now that when liberals figure that out, they will turn on Francis.
I read this today at the Telegraph:
Pope Francis ‘refuses’ gay French ambassador
Pope Francis’ reputation as liberal takes a knock over reports that he rejected the nomination of a new French ambassador to the Vatican on the grounds that he was a homosexual
Pope Francis has reportedly barred the nomination of a close aide of President Francois Hollande as new French ambassador to the Vatican because he is gay.
The apparent rejection calls into question the pope’s reputation as holding more liberal views on homosexuality.
Laurent Stefanini, 54, a senior diplomat and Mr Hollande’s chief of protocol, was nominated in early January but the Vatican has maintained a stony silence over whether it accepts his credentials, officials in Paris said.
The usual time frame for their acceptance is a month and a half. After that, a prolonged silence after a nomination is normally interpreted as a rejection.
The Elysee said that the choice of Mr Stefanini to represent France at the Vatican resulted from “a wish by the president and a cabinet decision” and that the president regarded him as “one of our best diplomats.”
French media widely reported that Mr Stefanini has been blackballed due to his homosexuality.
Le Journal du Dimanche quoted a Vatican insider as saying that the rejection was “a decision taken by the pope himself.”
Liberation, the left-leaning daily, said that “the Vatican’s homophobia seriously tarnishes Pope Francis’ image as being (slightly) more open-minded that his predecessors on sexuality“.
France in 2007 nominated a gay ambassador to the Vatican who had a partner recognised under French law but the Holy See never responded to the nomination, despite lengthy attempts to secure him the post.[…]
Read the rest there.
So, now we must wait to see if writers over at the Fishwrap (aka National S_______ Reporter) denounce Pope Francis as a homophobe.
C’mon Fishwrap! You know you want to!
Hey! Maybe Michael Sean Winters can find a way to blame Card. Burke!
I’m afraid so.....
Well he did say “of good will” which presumably meant someone who wanted to be free of its domination... not someone willfully wallowing in it
been precluded, this order came from francis
This is one way to parse Pope Francis off-the-cuff, non-magisterial, remark made during an interview on an airplane.
Has Francis ever made a magisterial statement?
Well he did just write that song...
self loathing often precipitates Projection.
they were NOT that comfortable about their own lives...and thus projected their dimly perceived issues..on everyone they came into contact with! or so it would seem to me.
“Watch for this to show up behind glass in the National Archives (maybe replacing the Constitution).”
f President Obie has anything to do with it.
And when Fr. Z realizes that Francis is a flaming liberal and admits it, he might lose his "fan club".
Anti-abomination works better. I don’t fear homos.
I can almost hear the new buzzword now
Abominationophobe....
Oh my, I think he did!
Here are the lyrics to the new hit by the Pope as best as I can tell (I can’t tell WHERE this translation came from, maybe ICEL resurrected):
That They May Be One
This message is light and hope light that pierces the darkness
Never let that determine your life last
Always look forward
The future is in your mind, in your hands and in your heart
Chorus: So that all may be one
Gone are the walls
Only the value of the meetings Bridge to Peace
For they all be one unit is the way
One always open alliance
When love and truth When you find to the pain you have to do what your heart calls
For the most authentic gestures are those who alone are
The future is in your mind in your hands and in your heart
Chorus: So that all may be one
Gone are the walls
Only the value of meeting s Bridge to Peace
Do not give identity to live in harmony
For they all be one unit is the way
One always open alliance When love and truth
Chorus: That they all may be one
Gone are the walls
Only value of the encounters the Bridge to Peace
I think I heard something like this when my youngest kids were watching Pokemon last weekend.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled thread...
I see there’s no mention of God in this “song”. I guess Francis didn’t want to offend his atheist editor friend and other atheists.
Well it’s no Music for the Royal Fireworks, I just listened to an excerpt on iTunes... great googley moogley. It may not offend atheists but it offends my musical sensibilities.
Pope said, “Who am I to judge?”
Well, God commands us to judge, and the entire Bible is a user manual on how to judge. The reference, “Judge not, that ye be not judged”, was a specific admonition to the hypocritical Pharisees. People who call for tolerance and quote judge not out of context are incorrect.
Christians are commanded to judge. Jesus said, Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment (John 7:24).
Read Proverbs; all of it pertains to judging.
Does the Pope not think he’s a Christian? Of course he should judge — and loudly. Actually, it’s the main part of his job.
Any time people want to speak to me or complain about Pope Francis, I have to remind them that what he said/did is probably not what the media are saying/interpreting what he said/did.
Not only is there no mention of God, but he continues to promote the heresy of false ecumenism/false unity (”that all may be one”).
And humanism:
“The future is in your mind in your hands and in your heart.”
He is the Novus Ordo personified.
Menu changed at the catholofeteria again did it?
