German bishop: Church disrespects Catholics attracted to folks other than their spouse by asking them to not commit adultery.

Allowing openly admitted homosexuals into the church in the late 60s has now turned the church it to sadly little more than a bath house. The Cabal within the church where they trade sex for power and protect their own has destroyed the church... Francis is clearly owned by this Cabal if not directly a member himself.

Are these aberrations to become part of Catholic Traditions?
Despite the wish of some churchmen, the Catholic Church still holds to traditional morality. I would suggest that you look to the Protestant churches before you start throwing stones at the Catholic Church.


There are many, many Christ loving members of the Catholic church with high morals. The problem is the high percentage of the hierarchy who condone homosexuality and often practice it themselves (evidently even on the Vatican grounds). Homosexuality is an abomination in the sight of God. But, I expect nothing less from the power that has been clearly identified as the Antichrist power from the bible.

Revelation 18:
1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

God asks everyone one of us the live chastely unless we are married. Young adults, the divorced and widowed, we are all to live chaste lives so long as we are single. Gays seem to think sex is somehow an entitlement. It is not.

There it is.

The base desires and appetites are to be controlled.

This is why faith and works are so important. First have faith then comes the works, which develop more faith. This is opposite of the natural world, which is selfish, base, and instinctual. Self preservation rules all.

So when it's said that homosexuality is natural, I usually say, yea probably.
1 Cor 2:
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

There is nothing good about the natural man. We're supposed to rise above it.

I think, in the end, the only way the Catholic Church is saved is by a new Pope who rejects the current dogma being embarrassingly pushed by the Vatican.

Welcome to the United Methodist dilemma, rlmorel (I left decades ago over this same issue). Dream on about a new, but traditionalist Pope—the present one has packed the College of Cardinals that elects the popes.

Soros got to Benedict a long time ago and forced him out in favor of his globaist appointee, the South American marxist. It's been all downhill from there.

That is so sad. And it makes me angry. It puts politics between people and God.

Which, since they don’t believe in God, is what they want. They desire to destroy God and have people worship the government.

They don’t have to be chaste. Plenty of ‘homos’ seem to have been able to rise to the occasion with their wives.
