Bishop Antônio Carlos Cruz Santos, “Homosexuality, if it is not a choice and not a disease, it is a gift given by God.”
And, of course, Bishop Cruz Santos is a francisbishop. He was consecrated a bishop in 2014.
That is evil out right. Are they not using the Bible any longer?
Talk about blasphemy times 10!!
GOD save us from these heretics and mentally ill freaks!
How long has the Bishop been gay, I wonder?
Sin is never a gift from God.
He should be kicked out all together. He is not a man of God. He should now be forced to get a real job and if he wants to live like a homo, then that’s his business.

Unreal.
Sin is never a gift from God
Yet, that’s exactly what’s being “said”, by this Bishop.
Using that logic, so is cancer.
No doubt this vile papist thinks pedophilia is a “gift of God” too.
He must really ha black people to be comparing them to sexual deviants.
Is this the next Pope?
You’ve come a long way, baby!
The whole point is that they don’t want to have to get a real job. They’re like congress-critters, they’ve made their whole lives crawling through - or sleeping their way through - the ecclesiastical ranks.
These people are so incompetent they couldn’t be greeters at Walmart. Or baggers at the Publix.
They - including Francis, who I believe had one brief stint of working as a lab assistant after his community college course, obviously forced on him after his parents got sick of his living in their basement - have never really worked in a job or had a career for which they had to qualify or, in fact, done anything real in their entire lives.
The closest I could come to rationalize what he said was that homosexuality is a trial. If a person chooses celibacy, instead of promiscuity, and can bear that cross, well, God love ‘em.
However, homosexual promiscuity, as said previously, cries out to Heaven.
Apart from this particular bishop, it must be a real challenge to get the active homosexual into church, teach them the truth, and then help them to amend their lives.
Like any sinner, Confession offers great grace to avoid habitual sin. However, if you can’t get them in the pews, how do you get them in the confessional?
Faggot priest
The following needs no explanation:
“O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell. But most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.”
“I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters,that I have greatly sinned,in my thoughts and in my words,in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,”
As you are striking your breast, say:
“through my fault,
through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints,and you, my brothers and sisters,to pray for me to the Lord our God.”
The absolution by the Priest follows:
“May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.”
The next Pope who is a Catholic will depose hundreds of bishops like this around the world.
