ROME – Willy Bombeek, the head of a new “contact point” for gay Catholics that’s backed by the Flemish bishops, says he is confident that his ministry is something the pope would approve.
Bombeek is the coordinator of a new “Homosexuality & Faith” contact point which was announced by the Flemish bishops Tuesday with an accompanying document that included proposed blessings for same-sex couples.
Flemish is the dialect of Dutch spoken in Flanders, one of the three autonomous regions of Belgium.
Speaking to Crux, Bombeek, who pitched the idea of the ministry to the bishops with the help of a special working group he established, said the idea is from the grassroots, and was developed by people who “confirmed the pope’s vision, and from that, they wrote this mission out and I’m really proud to say that it’s a really big step to acceptance.”
“It’s really in the spirit of our pope to say, make a ministry, give attention to the people on the peripheries,” he said, voicing his conviction that this ministry is something “I have to do.”
In their announcement, the Flemish bishops said they wanted to “structurally anchor the pastoral care and guidance of homosexual persons within the Flemish Catholic Church.”
Cardinal Jozef De Kesel, archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, and the other Flemish bishops outlined their vision for the mission of the new contact point in a document titled, “Homosexual persons are pastorally close – For a hospitable church, which excludes no one.”

Well, sadly, they’re right. This crap IS in the spirit of Bergoglio. What it’s not in the spirit of: the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2000 years of Christian teachings, etc. etc.
This is Satan getting his way. Christ is returning soon, please be ready for him.
This head is confident your head and the pope are very bad people.
Sewing lies and confusion to God’s children.
Nuf sed.
