[Catholic Caucus] Did Francis just throw a “Pride Month” bone to gays?
aka Catholic ^ | June 7, 2018 | Louie Verrecchio

francis-gay-partnersIn the most recent edition of that dreadful “Pope Video” series, wherein Jorge Bergoglio plays himself (a non-Catholic humanist), the star of the show (stage name, “Francis”) encourages the following:

A lengthening of horizons, a widening, for so many people…

Immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity…

A place not of alienation … a concrete place, a place rich in humanity…

Inclusiveness which respects others for their differences…

Is it merely coincidental that the so-called “Pope Video” installment for June – or what gay activists call “Pride Month,” a worldwide 30 day public celebration of homo-debauchery – employs a host of LGBT buzzwords?

Maybe. Then again, maybe not.

From the earliest days of the Bergoglian reign of terror, Vatican homo-scandals haven’t exactly been rare:

ricca-pope-francis_2622725b

The appointment of Msgr. Battista Ricca (right) as prelate of the Vatican Bank, the “who am I to judge” firestorm, the pro-homo interim Extraordinary Synod report, Francis welcoming a gay couple at the Vatican embassy in Washington (see photo at top of page), the quickly hushed cocaine fueled gay sex orgy story, Francis’ recent comments (alleged, never denied) telling a clergy sex abuse victim he was born gay, etc.

Oh, yeah, and then there’s the disappearance of that 300 page dossier reportedly detailing a Vatican gay lobby that Benedict forwarded to Bergoglio upon his departure.

Sure, it may be coincidence that Francis offers soundbites – during “Prude Month” no less – that could easily be attributed to an LGBT activist rallying the troops at a gay pride parade.

This is probably merely coincidental as well:

Be purposefully inclusive as you share diverse stories and voices that can connect people to the common ground we share. Showing respect for another person’s journey encourages them to continue further down that road. Focus on common values, not differences in religious beliefs.

No, that’s not Francis speaking, those are excerpts taken from Overall Approaches for LGBT Equality – a publication of Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

Funny, isn’t it? Apart from attribution, it’s almost impossible to distinguish the prayer intentions of the “pope” (if you will allow) from a statement issued by an LGBT activist group.

Has to be coincidence. Right?

I am Catholic though not a Pope Francis fan.

It has to be noted that there are still multiple parts of the world where individuals are beheaded, abused, executed for their sexual indiscretions...and even here at home: children with sexual identity crisis issues are bullied in schools and more likely to commit suicide. Very sad.

So...I recognize the hard balance of extending Christian love and acknowledgment of the common humanity we all share, regardless of sexuality...while also remaining staunch defenders of God’s design for sex and marriage.

regarding the Title: Please do not put “bone” and “gays” in same sentence.

Thank you.

And as an aside I don’t care what Pope Asspounder has to say on any topic, ever.

What we need to know was demonstrated in the Bible. Sodom was destroyed due to sodomy. Some have tried to twist it as sexual sin in general or just bad manners to the 2 angels caused the brimstone to fall. The problem is, that is NOT the only place in Scripture God made His wishes known. Lev 18:22-30 for example. Then in the New Testament, several passages state unequivocally these people will NOT see the Kingdom of Heaven.

If we have to argue that "men" wrote the Bible, or the Bible is inaccurate, then we have a basic problem of faith to fix before arguing endlessly over details. I personally believe the Bible was written by men filled with the Holy Spirit dictating it perfectly, word for word. If you can't trust every verse in Scripture, how do you ever come to the conclusion Jesus rose from the dead or a virgin conceived. There are some translation problems from Hebrew and Greek to English and other languages, but after thousands of years of study, the error is few. Certainly there is no error in condemnation of sodomy as 4 towns in the Valley of Kings were burnt to the ground.

This is an important thing to get right and quite soon. Luke tells us that "As it was in the days of Noah" and in the next verse says "as it was in the days of Lot", so it will be when the Son of Man returns. That means Judgement Day.

Studying the Days of Noah reveals that there was violence and constant evil in those days as the result of mixing demons seed with the seed of the daughters of men. The image that God had created has been corrupted. So God immediately Flooded the earth and killed all creatures in it save Noah and family. It say Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. That means he was a sinner like the rest of us, but HE BELIEVED GOD. It also says he was perfect in his generations. That means his DNA was still the DNA of the creature God made in the Garden of Eden. All other flesh was corrupted. That means Noah's wife and their 3 children could have a corrupt gene. If nothing else, the children's wives were corrupt as they were brought in from the closest town. These evil people were called Nephilim and their spawn carried this corrupt seed. In Genesis 3, God declared a seed war against Satan saying the seed of the woman would kill the seed of Satan. This seed corruption could be the key to people going into schools and churches to murder innocent people and mothers murdering the most innocent of all.

The Days of Lot might be easier to interpret if you just accept that God doesn't approve of sodomy. We recently projected a rainbow, a covenant sign from God counterfeited by Satan on our White House. We have placed in NYC a monument to the Temple of Baal or the "Throne of Satan" as Revelation 2:13 calls it.

In Romans 1, we learn that we are without excuse, but we continually keep coming up with excuses to NOT give honor and Glory to our Creator. God then explains what He will do. We have been given a reprobate mind. A debased mind CANNOT think straight. He provides us with examples of what a reprobate mind thinks. Like homosexuality. Like sexual immorality. Like ... being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Does that look like today? Notice the last sentence there. If you APPROVE of such things, you are guilty of such things. It is absolutely essential that a Christian understand the mind of God and cease to rebel against Him. We don't have the luxury of agreeing with sodomy and abortion. How many say things like, "I don't agree with it, but wouldn't want to limit someone else".?

There is always hope for the sinner, but we can and must judge what sin is. That sinner may come to their right mind and come home to the Father on their death bed, but what they do while running from God is still sin and we are to flee from it. By allowing this sin to metastasize in America and indeed the world, we are in great danger. You place your family in danger, your country in danger, and the world itself.

If we study the Last Days we can see a third of the earth is destroyed, a third of the oceans, and at least a third of the people. We must ask ourselves just how stiff necked we want to be to allow babies murdered by the millions and sodomites to walk freely among us and our families.

Gen 19:9 And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

Sound familiar? Are we not told daily not to judge these people? Lot tried to speak to them, but it was on deaf ears. They will come for us as they came for Lot and his family. A woman has already gone to jail for refusing to sign a Marriage license. Businesses are being closed as we type here. Soon a Christian will not be able to make a living in America. The same people you see on TV with a cross of ashes on their forehead, CANNOT speak against the sodomites or they lose their jobs. If you start your own business, they will come after you in the courts. Now, the church is bowing to sin and tells them, it's OK.

Jesus is coming back soon. Will He find the faith when He comes? DO NOT cling to doctrines of men, but to the Savior. The pope or anyone else CANNOT make this alright. Will Jesus tell you "Well done my good and faithful servant.", or will He say " Get away from Me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you". He has given us the Word to follow, not the doctrines of men. Your dogma or denomination won't save you. Everything pleasing to God is written in the Bible and is easily identifiable. The world is full of false teachers that teach to tickled ears. If your brother in law is homosexual, he will not go to heaven any more than he would if he was a burglar. Everyone of us knows a homosexual. Many, if not most are nice people. That has NOTHING to do with salvation. Not being in jail is not what God looks at to qualify.

Were they marching in parades promoting pride in sodomy?

“Children with sexual identity crisis issues.”

They need new parents, not whacked out liberals trying to change their sex. If they have normal parents they have no sexual identity issues.
