Amidst the backdrop of the circus of a Synod going on in the Vaticanwhere some of the highest ranking officials in the Catholic Church hierarchy are skating around Christs teachings on marriage and flagrantly ignoring the admonition of St. Paul to the Romans, Do not conform yourselves to this agecomments by Cardinal OMalley to a staffer from New Ways Ministry about recognition for gay married couples after the recent Crux event in Boston merit a response and correction.

In a one-to-one conversation following a public speaking engagement, Bostons Cardinal Sean OMalley said that the firing of church workers because of LGBT issues is a situation that needs to be rectified, becoming the first prelate to speak against this trend.

Regarding Cardinal O'Malley's seeming stance on tolerating sin, he needs to read the following passages in the Holy Bible. Not only does Matthew 18:15-17 show us that Jesus taught that unrepentant sinners were to ultimately be kicked out of a congregation, but 1 Corinthians 5 is an example of Paul reprimanding that church for not expelling a sexual offender from the congregation.
What has happened?
According to 1 Thess 4:1-8, Cardinal OMalley has rejected God.
And your grandmother would be right. The problem is most Catholics refuse to see it.
Right now those Catholics who even see a problem only see it as a Francis problem.
Why the sudden outrage? </sarc>
- Saint Athanasius
Big Religion continues to marginalize itself.
True that.
ITA!
Mark to get popcorn.
No, we are going to see it revitalized as many faithful suddenly wake up and see what is at stake. But this can only happen when the Holy Spirit chooses. A period of chastisement is at hand and it will be tempting to fall into despair. But don’t. Christ keeps His promises.
Read up what the BVM had to say at Garabandal in 1963 during Vat II.
Of course, Garabandal is not recognized by the Church.
If the rcc would stick with the Word and ditch tradition these things wouldn’t happen.
Any church built on a sinful man will err in belief and collapse. However a church built on Christ will never fail..
I think there are going to be many who call themselves Catholic who will do just that.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
But Akita is(Japan, 1973):
"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."
The Catholic Church is THE repository of Sacred Scripture. O'Malley has chosen to ignore the Word.
this never ceases to amaze me about catholics. you claim to be the repository of Sacred Scriptures yet you disdain those who hold to the Sacred Scriptures.
He and Boston deserve one another. The man is clearly out of his pastoral realm.
boggles the mind.
