It will survive this Pope too.

“Throughout my life as a priest, bishop and even as Pope, I have accompanied people with a homosexual inclination and who practice homosexuality.

Great PR move for a church trying to recover from decades of homosexual rape of young kids by its own priests.
The year is 2030, my great grandson is sitting at the kitchen table with me and says, “tell me again about the time when there used to be a Catholic Church, and when it actually stood for morals, values, and defense of the most vulnerable among us “the unborn?” Tell me again, what it was like before the church killed itself with ridiculous ideas...
Was Frankie “mistranslated” again?
Is that like having a date with one?
He is a crackpot. I am more and more convinced that George Soros forced Pope Benedict out of office and filled the position with this crackpot.
It will survive this Pope too.
So, it's okay if someone changes their sex, just don't teach it at school. Got it.
Inclinations or hormonal imbalances cause many problems and we need to be careful when claiming all cases are the same: we need to embrace and study each case, accompany the person, discern and integrate them.
So..Francis' heretical theory of relativity strikes again.
The question is: How many did he promote to higher positions in the church?
Still think Benedict stepped down on his own volition?
The thing is he isn’t the only one who promoted them. JPII and Benedict XVI both had their share of elevating homo priests.
If we've heard this once, we've heard it a hundred times. Francis says he brought these people "closer to the Lord" by "accompanying" them. OK Francis, if you say so. Let's hope it's true. Some day, he might explain exactly what is meant by this term. I've yet to hear it.
It should be noted that "accompaniment" is not a Scriptural term associated with the pastoral ministry. Jesus uses the image of "the Good Shepherd". A good shepherd does not "accompany" sheep as they wander where they will....into thorns, into the path of wolves, over a ravine. A good shepherd does far more than that. He leads the sheep and guides them. He keeps them out of harms way. To "accompany" means to walk side by side whereas the task of a shepherd involves much more than this.
It's now clear that Francis has a loathing for any sort of dogmatic, doctrinal pronouncements or preaching, which is why he rants against proselytism. Combine this with his ambiguous references to hell (e.g. with Scalfari) and you have a recipe for indifferentism and moral relativism. It's quite easy to see how the train wreck named Amoris laetitia arose since in this interview he's once again preaching the "every case is different and must be evaluated individually" line.
This essentially voids any sort of coherent moral code and is a recipe for situational ethics and individual, circumstantial morality.
He greets them bent over with his butt cheeks spread. I don’t care for this fraud.
