I read that differently. He’s solidifying that homosexual marriage is wrong in the eyes of God.
Obviously he’s playing Solomon and trying to split the baby so he can be pro-gay (as he is) without being defrocked. But I think this is backfiring on him from both sides as he’s just “proven” that homosexuality is a sin.
The Roman Catholic Church is no more.
The Vatican has been infiltrated and taken over by Satan for a long time now.
Everything bad is now good and everything good is now bad in this Pope’s universe. The joining of religion with politics means a Great War is coming.
Since it began in the 3rd century.
I’m less troubled by his position on homosexual marriage, than his position on homsexuality.
He seems to be stating that homosexuality is OK. OK with the church; OK with God.
Can the church being OK with abortion be far behind?
“we are all equal”
That’s his motto, his creed, his declaration of faith. It explains him a lot.
No, pope, we are not all equal. Some are smart, and some are dumb. Some are good, and some are bad. Some work hard, and some lob around. Some do what their human nature tells them to do, and others pervert their nature as humans.
will no one rid us of this meddlesome priest
Bergoglio (or Bergogandmagoglio) resigned the Papacy when he publicly became the vicar of pachamamma if he ever held the office in the first place. He is a manifest heretic (even for a jesuit) and now a public apostate: One can not be vicar of both Christ and pachamamma and for goodness sake he’s abandoned the title Vicar of Christ, relegating it to “historic title”.
If you take a dump on your boss’ desk, that’s a resignation and no words are needed. If a Catholic honors a pagan deity that’s apostasy. This wasn’t offering incense to an effigy of the emperor, he enthroned the symbols of a demon on the altar of Almighty God. He took a dump on his Boss’ desk.
I have no idea who is the Bishop of Rome or if there is a Bishop of Rome, but I know without question who is NOT Bishop of Rome. I am not and neither is Jorge Maria Bergoglio.
Yep. It’s kinda personal for me. I went to catholic school, classes in catechism and going to Mass every day, until 9th grade. I considered becoming a catholic nun several times - not because I loved the Church, I wanted to live a simple life of devotion, right? (I decided not to because someone I knew said, “Don’t become a nun! They’ll hate you and you’ll end up cleaning toilets forever!”) The Church rolled over for Communism when I was really little. I remember the first time I experienced confusion and dread when I realized that it seemed the priests and nuns who were our teachers didn’t care about us at all, and stood ready to sacrifice catholic youth so the USA could be overrun by the Left. A lot of the nuns were pitiable figures, seeming confused and lost a lot of the time. (They had probably wanted to live a simple life of devotion, too! lol)
It has always been the goal of the radical homosexual agenda to undermine the institution of marriage. They seek to redefine it in their terms so they can steer it away from the biblical terms that we Christians recognize.
I wish I could find my post from 1999 here on this very forum in which I said the exact same thing.
Well, this is not all that earth-shattering or new. The Church long ago accepted homosexuality as a legitimate thing. There are two ways to look at this latest development. By embracing civil unions, the Pope and the Church are simultaneously denying gay marriage as a legitimate thing. Civil unions are a legal matter, not a theological one.
Thank you. When people continue to call him pope they continue to give him legitimacy and are just a part of the problem.
I have known only a few nuns. However they were all hard Leftists of the “Liberation theology” type.
No, he recognizes what he’s done.
Marriage is the civil union in all societies. The Catholic church has always recognized that. That’s why the Church recognizes non-Christian marriages.
The sacrament of marriage is a rite of the church and a requirement for a valid Christian marriage.
What he’s doing is declaring that homosexuality is not a sin and what’s more that Christianity is wrong.
There is no way to take the opinion that homosexual civil unions are “doing good” unless you reject the destructiveness of that behavior both in this world and the next.
The Pope is not taking eternity seriously. Homosexual activity matters not only because of consequences in this world, but in the next. I think the Pope wants to party with the popular kids, so he is trying to make Catholicism less weird. Sorry Francis, but it IS weird, and that’s the point: it is in the world but not of the world. I keep praying for that guy, for him to be the man and leader God wants him to be. (Praying for your enemies …)
So you’re OK with civil legalization of sodomy?
How about the legalization of infanticide?
No futher proof is needed that this Pope is antithetical to the Scripures, the inerrant Word of God. Therefore, he has proven himself to be an anti-Christ. Those in the Catholic chucrch must search the Scriptures themselves and leave the Catholic church for it has now become an organization against God.
