German Bishop wants the Church to bless homosexual "unions" ~

Full Title:

BREAKING: German Bishop wants the Church to bless homosexual "unions" ~ "...assist them with prayer and a private form of blessing..."

"Another ideology of evil" St. Pope John Paul II: referring to "same-sex marriage"

The German delegation to the Synod on the Family is now world famous for its support for the Homosexualist and Adulterist Parties; that is, churchmen who support homosexual activity (sadly it cannot be excluded that amongst this strident group would also be bishops and priests who are practicing homosexuality or being blackmailed; bishops who are being blackmailed for covering up child abuse must also be considered); and the distribution of the Holy Eucharist to those practicing adultery - hence in objective grave sin.

Bishop Franz-Josef Bode, in a wide ranging interview on his hopes for the Synod expressed strong support in favour of these two positions in a recent interview.

On his support for active homosexuality, which though is disordered and intrinsically evil, the Bishop nonetheless stated:

...the Church can help civil unions in discussion and provide positive support and assist them...with prayer and a private form of blessing you will be able to accompany them on their way...

There we have it. A Bishop of the Catholic Church, a delegate to the upcoming Synod on the Family openly supports not just active homosexuality, but that Christ's Church should bless the committal of this sin. This man is a blasphemer and heretic.

This evil homosexualist bishop is but part of the new secularist culture that St. Pope John Paul II "the Forgotten" wrote about:

We are witnessing the emergence of a new culture, largely influenced by the mass media, whose content and character are often in conflict with the Gospel and the dignity of the human person. This culture is also marked by an widespread and growing religious agnosticism, connected to a more profound moral and legal relativism rooted in confusion regarding the truth about man as the basis of the inalienable rights of all human beings. At times the signs of a weakening of hope are evident in disturbing forms of what might be called a “culture of death".

St. John Eudes wrote that the most fearsome punishment Christ can inflict on His Church is unfaithful shepherds; churchmen who seek to destroy the Church. Our Lord is thoroughly disgusted with the treachery of the bishops and He is now pouring out His wrath upon the Church; on these churchmen who would prostitute the Bride of Christ to the world, the flesh and the devil.

What is happening is worse that a world war; we are seeing, before our eyes, Christ punishing His Church (it is not the Pope's, nor the bishops'), for the infidelity, the cowardice of the men who should be His Apostles.

So many Church officials are following Satan and are tossing away the Bible.

These blasphemers must be big time ex-communicated. Let the schism begin if they don’t like it.

Without the public rebuke by the pope and their expulsion, I fear the pope must go with them.

The alarming and inexplicable scandal the pope has caused by even entertaining these perverts is an abomination of great magnitude. The pope should apologize.

The cardinals defeated these infiltrators handily at the last synod. The vote was taken. They and their positions were soundly rejected, as God held his shepherds to muster and together they did.

THAT vote was to be the end of discussion. The chapter closed. But for the pope refusing to let it be, he instead renewed it and it was he who placed the whole question and more onto the agenda of this upcoming synod.

Come, Lord Jesus.

Pray for the intercession of Saint Michael to protect and defend particularly the African bishops and cardinals, who are armed and ready for this October sin nod. May evil be defeated by the army of angels and our most fervent prayers.

Hail, Holy Queen.

< .....so far, so good!!! > -—

That scripture is much more about the Church (”us”) storming the gates of Hell. Have we even begun to do that?
Personally, I don’t think so. Yet.

But evil coming together in strength against the Church, in the Church, in its high places is going to stir us. Wolves are loose and in nearly plain sight.

Just the latest Homo-Synod delegate to air his perverse opinions. These lavender mutineers would not be so emboldened if not for the tacit approval of Francis.

In this country gay priests have cost the Church up to $3 billion dollars.What happened when the bishops let their seminaries be filled with homosexuals, men who lacked faith in their faith.

He’s not the only one. There is a Belgian bishop spouting the same heretical idiocy.

Uhhh, Rome... we have a problem.

To give credit where credit is do, Francis has spoken out against gay marriages in the US.

This is true, but there have been reports that he was in favor of homosexual unions pre-election.
