Pope Francis' Vatican Sends “Blessing” to Publisher of Homosexual-Friendly Books for Children
Catholic Family News ^ | 8/28/15 | John Vennari

Posted on 08/28/2015 10:23:45 AM PDT by BlatherNaut

August 28: Pope Francis reportedly sent an encouraging letter to lesbian founder of publishing house for children’s books.

Today’s Il Giornale reports, “The Pope blesses gender ideology books. To the author he writes: “Go ahead.”

The report continues, “Pope Francis still amazes, writing a long letter to the author of the books that the mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, wanted to ban from its schools. After the Synod on the family that threatens to split the church, the Pope again lines up in defense of the same-sex couples.”

Francesca Pardi, founder with her partner Maria Silvia Fiengo of the publishing house for childrens’ books, The Block letters, is the author of books such as Little Egg, Little Story of a family: Why you have two mothers? and "What is the secret of Dad?

Pardi received a positive letter from Francis’ Vatican signed by Msgr. Peter Wells of the Vatican Secretary of State, who on behalf of the Pope, urged her “go ahead on her pathway.” pardi Pardi celebrates her response from Pope Francis on her Facebook page, where she displays a photo of the Vatican envelope.

Il Giornale describes the Vatican letter as “A new episode in which Bergoglio seems to break the tradition of the Church and to side instead with the ‘modernity’.”

In June, Pardi had an entire catalogue of her books sent to the Pope, hoping he could read them.

Pardi wrote in her letter to Francis, “You won’t find, in these pages any faintest sign of the gender theory that these books are said to be the main instrument: where do we tell children that they can choose their own gender? where do we talk to them about sex?”

Yet Pardi and Fiengo follow the tactics of homosexual strategists Marshal K. Kirk and Erastes Pill who in their landmark 1987 article “The Overhauling of Straight America,” urged the necessity to “Talk About Gays and Gayness as Loudly and as Often as Possible.”

“The principle behind this advice is simple”, say Kirk and Pill, “almost any behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters and among your acquaintances. The acceptability of the new behavior will ultimately hinge on the number of one’s fellows doing it or accepting it.”

A person may be offended initially by the novelty of it all, but as Kirk and Pill point out “as long as Joe-Six-pack feels little pressure to perform likewise, and as long as the behavior in question presents little threat to his physical and financial security, he soon gets used to it and life goes on.” As time goes on, Joe-Six pack and his friends will become more tolerant of homosexuality as no more than an alternative, legitimate way of life.

This is the strategy of telling the story of homosexual families to small children, especially when these books are introduced in children’s schools. It means equalizing, in the educational period, the traditional family with the homosexual couples.

Homosexuals do not reproduce. They must recruit, and they seek to recruit and proselytize our children.

Francis’ Vatican appears ignorant of the moral confusion such books inflict on our little ones. While the books may not explicitly propose “gender theory,” they certainly indoctrinate children to accept homosexual families and the homosexual lifestyle.

Once again, the Vatican Press Office leapt into Francis-damage control.

“In no way does the letter from the Secretariate of State mean to endorse behavior and teachings not in line with the Gospel,” the Vatican press office said on Friday.

In the letter of response Monsignor Peter B. Wells wrote that "His Holiness is grateful for the delicate gesture and for the sentiments that I have suggested," and "calls for a more profitable activity in the service of the young generations and the spread of authentic human values and Christians', imparting the apostolic blessing."

Francis' Vatican seems blind to the contradiction of sending the author of homosexual books encouragement to "go ahead," along with an exhortation to spread authentic human and Christian values. Here again we see the modernist confusion: what is affirmed in one place is denied in another.

The press office claimed the letter to Francesca Pardi, in response to a letter from her to the Pope after Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro banned 'gay' books from the city's schools, was meant to remain private, something which “unfortunately did not happen.”

Il Giornale, however, notes that Pardi received a warm, encouraging letter from Francis’ Vatican. Yet the Mayor of Venice who banned these books, received no such letter of congratulations.

Mayor Brugnaro, Il Giornale notes, is “too much in line with Tradition.”

However, the Vatican says that the letter signed by Msgr. Peter Wells, assessor to the Secretariat of State, is not an indication of papal support.

Strains credulity.

Regarding Msgr. Wells:

"...He was named Assessor on 16 July 2009 when Gabriele Giordano Caccia was named as Apostolic Nuncio to Lebanon the same day. Speaking about his work as assessor of general affairs, he said his department is "like a chief of staff office for the pope," dealing with things like security issues and communications. The department's job is to help Pope Francis and his representatives "have the ability to act freely in the world" and not be "impeded in their ministry," especially in reaching out to the most marginalized, he said[3]

Cables revealed as part of the Wikileaks scandal show how much diplomats rely on Wells for readings of the Vatican's take on sensitive issues, such as the church's sexual abuse scandals. Other players know the score, too. In 2010, when parishioners in Boston wanted to appeal the closing of nine local parishes, they consulted a couple of canon lawyers about the best way to get the pope's attention, and the reply was to address the petition to Wells.[4]

Pope Francis by chirograph named Monsignor Wells secretary of the five member Pontifical Commission responsible for investigating the Institute for the Works of Religion.[5] Cardinal Farina, S.D.B., is president of the commission and Cardinal Tauran is a member, Bishop Juan Ignacio Arrieta Ochoa de Chinchetru, serves as the coordinator while Professor Mary Ann Glendon is the final member. He is at the same time the president of Financial Security Committee."

I think you just won the freeper drama queen award,
for calling the pope an “evil sneak” based on a generic form letter response to a gift *that he didn’t even write or send himself*

Check out what else they are up to. Is this the Pope Francis version of "Common Core"?

Just to briefly summarize what we are witness to:

Francis establishes the Foundation Scholas Occurrentes in 2013. The main driving force behind the Foundation initiative is Archbishop Marcelo “I hate Tea Parties” Sanchez Sorondo. This Foundation establishes a network of schools. This foundation is behind the publication of a series of children’s book that promote Gender Ideology. The Gender Ideology is promoted with images of Francis. The Vatican “washes its hands in innocence”, i.e. claims it doesn’t know anything about this situation. Yet the Vatican does nothing to stop it. Proof is that in the mean time, the publisher is continuing negotiations to publish these same Gender Ideology promoting books with Francis’ image with entities for translating and distribution into other countries and languages.

Once again, it is not a generic form letter. And it’s not just that particular letter that’s evil and sneaky.

This same evil sneak calls up an adulterous woman in an illicit sexual relationship and tells her to sneak to another Catholic church, where she is not known, so she can sacrilegiously receive Holy Communion.

He meets with two lesbians (one them “transmutilated”), engaged to be married, and wishes them well on their merry way to damnation.

He chose, the heretic, Kardinal Kasper, to preach the heresy of “Mercy to Unrepentant Adulterers”. He ordered articles condoning homos and adultery, that were voted down by the quorum in his SinNod, to be published anyway.

The chairman of the same SinNod ordered the theft of books emailed to each SinNod participant. This same character will again chair Francis’ SinNod II.

He is a despotic, evil sneak.

Next week, I may tell you how I really feel about Francis, Bishop of Rome.

“books emailed” = “books mailed” i.e. postal theft.

Wondered what the Catholic sites would say. Sounds like they think he’s the AntiChrist, too.

Why did it say “in the service of young generations”? Are they telling that lesbian to write more kids’ propaganda/books?

Why did the Vatican say the letter was supposed to be kept private?

Your explanation is quite lucid, and looks at the facts of this particular incident. One gets a similar letter if one sends some lamentable book as a “gift” to the Queen.

Can you provide a link to this quote? I believe that forum rules would require this.

There was a thread that claims that this is untrue. I just can’t find it at the present.

“reportedly”

Didn’t he “reportedly” also say the false quote attributed to him on this thread?
