'Heretical' pastors invited to preach in Catholic churches for 'unity week'
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - The diocese of Rome has invited pro-LGBT Protestant pastors from the heretical Waldensian sect to preach at Catholic churches during the "Week of Prayer for Christian Unity."
Dr. Daniele Garrone, president of the Federation of Evangelical Churches in Italy (FCEI) — an association of liberal Protestant denominations — will preach at Rome's main diocesan service on Thursday in the Catholic church of Santa Maria delle Grazie al Trionfale.
The ecumenical week of prayer, from Jan. 18–25, will climax with Pope Francis leading vespers in the Papal Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome.
Garrone is a pastor of Italy's Waldensian Evangelical Church, which permitted the blessing of same-sex unions in 2010 through an act of synod, calling it "a choice based on love as a gift from God, freely and consciously lived and chosen."
Condoning Sodomy
Dr. Garrone, an Old Testament scholar, claims the biblical texts that are interpreted as condemnations of homosexuality are actually condemning heterosexuals who engaged in same-sex sexual acts in order to humiliate their victims, as in the Sodom and Gomorrah story.

Huh ... some things are so stupid only an "intellectual" could believe them.
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
According to Ann Barnhardt, it’s game-on.
“One of the most common phrases heard on the ground in Rome and among “Churchy people” on all sides over the past decade since Pope Benedict’s failed attempted partial abdication has been, “THEY’RE WAITING FOR RATZINGER TO DIE.”
As in, the infiltrators, the Bergoglians, the Sankt Gallen Mafia, the Freemasons, the sodomites, the Luciferians – however you choose to call them. It has been openly acknowledged by ALL SIDES that there was an unspoken RESTRAINT against any full-out attempt to utterly and finally destroy the Catholic Church by:
1.) attempting to formally ratify contraception and sodomy
2.) attempting to establish a pseudo-marriage “rite” for sodomites
3.) attempting to establish a “rite” for re-naming transvestites
4.) attempting to completely abolish priestly celibacy
5.) attempting to “ordain” women
6.) attempting to declare any celebration of assistance/attendance at a Traditional Latin Mass an excommunicable sin; and the final coup de grâce:
7.) attempting to change the words of consecration of the Eucharist such that the Holy Mass would be invalidated
Yes, things have been bad for over sixty years, but what we have seen so far has been preparation of the battlefield for the final battle. Now, with their final obstacle and personally despised archenemy gone – The Pope, Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger, with the Petrine See vacant, the forces of evil no longer feel themselves restrained. It’s really, really hard to not see the narrative of 2 Thessalonians 2 and the removal of the Katechon, the Great Restrainer, not playing out before us in real time.”
