In what can only be described as a regime rather than a papacy, it is quite obvious to all that are prepared to take their heads out of the sand that it is open season on faithful Catholics.
We see an unending and almost obsessive stream of publicity from the homosexualist James Martin, S.J., and a string of supporters lined up behind him including now Robert McElroy, Bishop of San Diego. This McElroy puts forward the notion that one who upholds the Catholic truth, that sodomitical acts are grievous sins in the eyes of God and one of the four sins which "cry out to heaven for justice," are a "cancer" in the Church and opposed to Pope Francis.
Can you imagine that a Bishop of the Catholic Church of Christ would write this?
Both he and Martin are card-carrying members of the "Lavender Mafia". His impulsive defense of Martin is entirely predictable.
I always here the religious apologists for secular humanist views on sexual mores use the passages where Yeshua encountered a prostitute, had compassion for her and did not condemn her. They ignore the last part, where Yeshua said - go and sin no more.
A. Yeshua accepted and had compassion for her.
B. Yeshua did not accept her sin and told her to sin no more.
“Tolerance and compassion” ARE NOT “acceptance”.
The secular humanist invaders of the churches have it wrong.
And Maridiaga seems permantly assigned to our diocese, serving as guest speaker and celebrant, always for annual fundraisers, or large diocesan conferences/masses.
The globalist “mercy” agenda has devoured the Church of tradition, in the West.
These people are after the West, as well as the Eucharist.
BINGO!! Go thy way and sin no more.
I wish writers would read what they have written before they publish. He either started with one thought and finished with another or he is unfamiliar with the conjugation of "to be."
I diagrammed that sentence as I was taught in Catholic school. The subject (noun) is “truth” (singular). The verb should be “is” not “are.” I wish Sister Veronica was still around with her ruler. Whoever wrote that sentence deserves a slap on the back of their hand.
Tolerance and compassion ARE NOT acceptance.
I agree completely. Unfortunately the left view “tolerance and compassion” as a stepping stone to forced “acceptance”. Homosexual . “marriage” was sold as a matter of simple equality and tolerance. As soon as it was achieved, anyone who still held to traditional marriage was treated as a pariah and most politicians were cowed into submission. Once the left achieved this result, it turned its sights on the entire “transgender” and “gender identify” nonsense. I’m sure the left was as surprised as anyone that they were able to make the establishment cave so quickly to what just a few years ago was seen as a fringe element of freaks and mental defectives good for some chuckles in a New Orleans stage show. If tomorrow they decided to push the level of “tolerance” to include bestiality, the next day CNN would be attacking Trump for being opposed to men buggering sheep. Insane.
I got years of diagramming in a private American school (Calvert sys) in Istanbul and in 7th grade in Norfolk Va. It has been invaluable to me.
