Some Catholic blogs and news outlets are reporting this, but we’ll see about the mainstream media and the “progressive” Catholics.
They certainly seemed to think the Synod on the Family was front page news, but of course Pope Francis didn’t publicly say anything during the synod and the secularists and progressive Catholics could fabricate whatever image of Pope Francis they wanted to – and we all know what that was.
But now Pope Francis is talking about marriage, and newsflash – it’s definitely not what the New York Times and the National Catholic Reporter were hoping for. It will be interesting to see how studiously preoccupied with other events they manage to be in order to avoid reporting it.
So what are they ignoring? What did Pope Francis say that they can’t bear to allow into their carefully crafted fairytale?
His words came at an international Marian conference. As reported by CNA:
He warned against the common view in society that you can call everything family, right?
What is being proposed is not marriage, it’s an association. But it’s not marriage! It’s necessary to say these things very clearly and we have to say it! Pope Francis stressed.
He lamented that there are so many new forms of unions which are totally destructive and limiting the greatness of the love of marriage.
And…wow.
…”it’s not marriage!”…”we have to say it!”…”totally destructive”
Not mincing words, are we Your Holiness?
And gosh, this is a little problematic for the whole “Pope Francis wants to change marriage but he’s being thwarted by evil conservatives” storyline, don’t you think?
Which is why the media took a field trip today. Or maybe they panicked and quarantined themselves.
After all, the truth can be contagious.
You sure thats not a pic of Stan Laurel?
...you’ve got to be pretty hardy to say such a thing...
Dang. I’ve been arguing with an Admin Mod and was still defensive.
I beg your indulgences for missing your most excellent pun!
Him whom I serve and the pope serves Him too.
Non-RCC members are not all as certain as you.
...you sure do beat about the bush, don’t you...? You once tried to call me a reprobate, and you tried so hard to be witty you muddled the message...
...if you think the Pope serves other than Christ, just come and out and say so...don’t dissemble...and tell us who it is that you think His Holiness does serve...
...it is beneficial to all concerned that clarity prevail...in addition to with, a little bit of your pith goes a long, long way...
As President Reagan once said "There you go again"
Are you mindreading that someone else is mindreading again? Looks like a false accusation to me.
**I see. Thats nice of your pope.**Or so Catholicism insists. Falsely.Hes your pope too.
Isn't there millions of Catholics already?
Must they continue the practice that is called "stealing sheep?"
Born again non-Catholic Christians have no need for YOUR pope.
There is no problem from me with Catholics accepting all that your popes say and do, but we don't have to do the same.
