Catholic Pro-Gay Cardinal: “I Fully Respect Atheism”

Brussels pro-gay Cardinal Jozef De Kesel, Belgium, told Cathobel.be (January 7) that he doesn't want to confine religions to the private sphere, nevertheless he “fully respects atheism.”

De Kesel has no respect for Catholic communities.

About the invalid ordination of women he said, “We will see." He stressed that "there are theological but also cultural elements: let us not forget that the Church is present on every continent” - as if this were of any importance for this question.

He doesn't exclude the possibility "that the Lord may call a married man to the priesthood" who is a convinced, theologically formed Catholic.

However, when calling his apostles, Christ didn't ask for a Catholic formation but told them to abandon "everything."

I assert that he is no Catholic, having excommunicated himself latae sententiae.

I’m not holding my breath that the current pope will dismiss him

The apostate, de Kesel, was elevated to the college of cardinals, by Bergoglio on November 19, 2016.

Doesn't sound like much of a Cardinal. Doesn't sound like much of a Christian for that matter.

It doesn’t respect you even a little bit.

Pro-gay AND pro-atheism? Does he even believe the Bible?

Exactly. Hardly credentials to suggest any other church body should join back with them and be under their leadership structure. welcome to theological monarchy again that can cover everything up and have no need to tell, or answer to, the lowly laity.

Don’t hold your breath for this pope to do anything biblically Christian, either.

Lol - looks like your 10 arguments against Sola Scriptura thread got pulled entirely. Or at least it’s disappeared from my pings list.
