Bishop Schneider to Pope Francis: For the Sake of Your Soul, Retract Approval of Same-Sex Civil Unions
Edward Pentin Blog ^ | 10/23/20 | Bp Athanasius Schneider

“Most Holy Father, for the sake of the salvation of your own immortal soul, for the sake of the souls of all those persons who through your approval of same-sex unions are by their sexual acts grievously offending God and exposing their souls to the danger to be eternally lost, convert, retract your approval and proclaim with all your predecessors the unchangeable teaching of the Church.”

Same-Sex Civil Unions and the Catholic Faith

The Catholic Faith in the voice of the Magisterium of all times, the sense of the faith of the faithful (sensus fidelium) as well as common sense clearly reject any civil union of two persons of the same sex, a union which has the aim that these persons seek sexual pleasure from each other. Even if persons living in such unions should not engage in mutual sexual pleasure — which in reality has been shown to be quite unrealistic — such unions represent a great scandal, a public recognition of the sins of fornication against nature and a continuous proximate occasion of sin. Those who advocate same-sex civil unions are therefore also culpable of creating a kind of structure of sin, in this case of the juridical structure of habitual fornication against nature, since homosexual acts belong to sins which cry to heaven, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church says (see n. 1867). Those who advocate same-sex civil unions are ultimately unjust and even cruel against those persons who are living in these unions, because these persons will be confirmed in mortal sin, they will be solidified in their interior psychological dichotomy, since their reason tells them, that homosexual acts are against reason and against the explicit will of God, the Creator and Redeemer of men.

Every true Catholic, every true Catholic priest, every true Catholic bishop must.......

Wait- does this mean that the Pope doesn’t agree with homosexual “marriage”, only civil unions? Why isn’t the US press going crazy over this?

This is like that Roman selected ‘high priest’ that turned over Christ ... in spite of Psalms 22... This title, of ‘holy father’ has made this imbecile a mockery of all that is ‘Holy’, Jesus Christ ... Perhaps actual believers in Christ, will rethink the practice of calling their so called ‘holy’ men, ‘Father’...

The Marxists believe they are within reach of their goal of destroying the American Republic and the Catholic Church. Their stooge is already in the Vatican and they want to install Biden as their stooge in the White House. President Trump and his supporters are all that stand between freedom and global anarchy.

Not to mention the collateral damage of countless souls who are now at odds with the Holy Roman Catholic Church and turning to apostasy because of this man’s inane ramblings. The True Church will always have the Holy Eucharist but there are problems with the Pontiff. It causes my soul much turmoil

About a 99.975% probability that his soul is already lost.

The False Prophet isn’t gonna repent. Neither will his buddy-to-be, the Antichrist.

They won’t be happy with how things turn out, however.

G*d is G*d and Christ is Christ and the Holy Trinity is the Holy Trinity, no matter the denomination. Also, the Catholic Church will still come out on top in the end.
