SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain – A new low for the Catholic Church in Spain has been reached with the ordination of a homosexual couple to the priesthood by Archbishop Julian Barrio of Santiago de Compostela. These men, part of an ordination class of six, are not only active homosexuals but are in a public relationship with each other. According to the original story by InfoVaticana, the parishioners of Santiago were presented with their ongoing relationship in some form of “coming out” ceremony. Their ordination has caused consternation among the faithful congregation and clergy at this major center of European Catholicism.
The setting of the Cathedral of Santiago for this travesty is the source of tremendous irony. Santiago is the destination of the Camino of St. James, a path walked by Catholic pilgrims from all over Europe for centuries in penance for their sins. It is a path for those who acknowledge their sinfulness before God, and strive to become more like Him through the discipline of their bodies. St. James himself, whose bones lie under the Cathedral, was the first Apostle to die for the faith, a man who refused to give up orthodoxy even to death. Now two men who are not qualified to receive Holy Orders, and are in open defiance of the authority they have claimed to submit to, have been enlisted into the Church’s service in this place of penance, obedience and sanctity.
The Archbishop cannot claim to have been unaware either of the status of the two or of the Church’s clear teaching on this question. Even Pope Francis, whose moderate tone on homosexuality is widely known, has just expressly approved the new Vatican document on seminary formation, which explicitly reiterates that homosexuals cannot be ordained as priests. Regarding the men themselves (whose identities......

OK and where is this Pope?
In the emails of the Democrats they said they had to infiltrate the church, and let’s not kid ourselves . The left are talking to other countries from here,and coordinating their agenda.
Pope Francis’ new Vatican document on seminaries -— like all previous ones -— says active homosexuals, men with persistent homoosexual tendencies, and men who support/identify with the “gay culture” are not to be admitted to seminaries, let alone ordained to the priesthood.
Let’s see if this bishop gets censured.
But don’t hold your breath.
No,gracias!
how very sad
for awhile western society looked fairly moral, at least basic moral values were in evidence
and then it seemed the Church(es) were still trying to uphold some moral values
and now.....
how very very sad
Where is the inquisition when you need it.
Where is the outrage from Catholics world-wide? The Pope is a political leftist spouting out one controversy after another and now this is supposed to be okay???? There may as well be a formal split in the church because of this leftist political correctness that has infiltrated and trying to re-write their doctrine. It’s sickening....
the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God.~~Pope Paul VI
This has been going on since the late ‘60s, much of it discussed in the book “Good Bye Good Men”. Homosexual seminarians were specifically recruited to instigate the liturgical revolution, they were perfect “yes men” because they could always be blackmailed if they went out of step with the free-masons plan.
But me thinks Lucifers time is up. Great things are on the horizon, the truth will be shouted from the rooftops, pray and be of good cheer.
Isn’t there a rule or law that says sexually active men cannot become priests?
Nothing will happen to these confirmed sodomite priests.
That tells you were this pope is.
Really is sick.
The West has come a long way with this crap. Not so long ago the homosexuals/liberals/liberaltarians were telling us it was their private business, and now we are seeing this crap.
Sick
It is a known fact that a majority of pedophiles are homosexuals. How can the Church defend itself if these new priests get caught assaulting children?
Yes, of course: first of all, a rule that homosexual men are not to be admitted to tge seminary, let alone ordained; second a rule that priests -— no matter what their “orientation” -— are to be celibate.
The problem is not bad doctrine. The problem is disobedience. Or worse, to be frank: deliberate subversion.
Strange as it may sound, the Catholic Church leadership has been corrupted by a significant number of anti-Catholic clergy.
Judas priests.
EXACTLY.
Yet the media will never dare mention that fact. When the Priests were touching kids the media said crisis in the Church etc. Never once did they mention that it is homosexual men touching boys, same sex makes them homosexuals as well as child molstors.
“These men, part of an ordination class of six, are not only active homosexuals but are in a public relationship with each other. According to the original story by InfoVaticana, the parishioners of Santiago were presented with their ongoing relationship in some form of “coming out” ceremony.”
Regarding the men themselves (whose identities are undisclosed), InfoVaticana further reports that one of the Archbishop’s vicars had visited the house in which the two men are cohabiting, only a few days before the ordination.”
How do they supposedly know all this to the point of publicly coming out to parishioners and not know who they are? They only had six people being ordained. Am I missing something here or what?
