Francis welcomes in private audience same-sex "couple": transexual "former woman" and "wife"
Rorate Cael ^ | 1/26/15 | New Catholic

Posted on 01/26/2015 6:13:26 PM PST by ebb tide

Spanish periodical Hoy reveals the private meeting in the Vatican of "Diego" Neria Lejárraga, a woman from Plasencia, Spain, and her "wife".

Excerpts:

The Blessed Encounter between Francis and Diego

The Pope welcomed Saturday in the Vatican a Plasencia native who has felt outside the Church since he [sic] was submitted to a gender-reassignment surgery ...

"I would have never dared before, but with Pope Francis, yes; after hearing him in so many interventions, I felt that he would listen to me." Diego Neria Lejárraga is a 48-yearold native of Plasencia [Western Spain], who was received on Saturday [January 24] by Pope Francis in a meeting that was strictly private - as so many of the Holy Father - in his residency of Santa Marta, in the Vatican, at 5 p.m. An exceptional moment for any believer, for thousands of citizens around the world, and unique in the life of Diego. Because now his spirit is in peace.

...

Since the person who he loved most in the world, his mother, "the soul of my life", asked him not to change his body while she lived. "And I would wait a thousand and one lives for her." He took care of her during the last years of his life, and, one year after her death, when Diego turned 40, he finally took the step: he contacted a plastic surgeon and started changing his body. ...

Diego asked the Holy Father if, such as he is today, following his gender-reassignment, there is any place in the house of God for him. And Pope Francis yesterday [Saturday] embraced him in the Vatican. In the presence of his wife [sic], with whom he will form a family soon.

Today his spirit is in peace.

... [Hoy, in Spanish. Tip: reader. ]

“It” was never a man. “It” was born a female.

Then why would he still be planning to have a family with his "wife"?

Nothing but crickets, huh?

I was wondering if someone would ask that question.

The paper in question (Hoy) says he said that (or something similar). More precisely the paper implies he said that.

It’s not a quote.

There are certainly leftists everywhere in every paper on the planet. Some even more extreme than ours believe it or not.

And so what if he never used the term “gay marriage”. It’s clear that’s what he was refrencing when he was taking about this “new colonization” that is like the “Hitler Youth movement”.

Every little leftist heart in the world sunk the day he said those words and others in talking about the sanctity of marriage. They all knew he was taking about gay marriage. Everyone. Everyone knows it except apparently you.

Tell me, if not speaking against the homosexual assault on traditional marriage what do YOU think he was talking about?

A resurgence of Naziism?

The threat of a resurgence of imperialism, like every major country in the world is going to go out and start siezing poorer countries and making them colonies again? Like in the 19th century?

What? What was he talking about then that everyone else in the WORLD took him to be talking about gay “marriage”?

I’m not some Francis groupie, he’s not been a great Pope so far but put down the bais against him for a SECOND, if you can, and think RATIONALLY!

Yes, Francis was “clear”. Are you kidding me? Looks to me that you are the one who is biased.

Here's a quote:

It was a marvelous, intimate and unique experience. What happened in that meeting, what was said, is something that will remain between us, the ones that participated, since this is something I want to live with the utmost intimacy."

And I doubt it was a sacramental confession because "it" was "it"'s fiance at the time.

As I said in another thread (I think it was the “Pope Trannie” thread), then WHY was this made public?

The woman sounded like her mother and her might have been a little bit too enmeshed. There’s no mention of a father. Why this would result in a female wanting it become a male, I don’t know. But gender confusion largely has its genesis in poor bonding with a parent or sexual abuse.

To quote Francis, “who are we to judge?”

It’s the new Catholic Church! (urp...)

No. She was a woman from day one. She’s now a lesbian who mutilated herself.
