The Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith has become a Dicastery of confusion, wrote Archbishop Héctor Aguer, 80, formerly in La Plata, on December 23.
He calls it "scandalous" that Tucho contradicts what two years ago the very same Dicastery affirmed with a document signed by Cardinal Ladaria [which gives the statements of the dicastery the authority of a weather forecast].
In Ladaria's statement it was said that a homosexual couple cannot be blessed because God cannot bless sin. “That is the truth”, comments Aguer.
His key phrase: "Fiducia supplicans lets us see where chapter 8 of the apostolic exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia’ was pointing, where it was discreetly said that people living in these irregular situations can sometimes receive the sacraments. It was a beginning that is now revealed in its full dimension."
This is a consequence of Francis’ method, “which is dissimulation”, concludes Aguer.
In response to Francis' homosexual fantasies contained in "Fiducia Supplicans", Melkite Catholic Bishop François Beyrouti, 52, of Newton, USA, wrote a "Statement on weddings and blessings" to his clergy on 20 December.
Referring to the infallible biblical teaching on the relationship between man and woman, and the liturgical and pastoral practice on marriage that follows from it, he said:
"If there is a request [for a priest] to attend or perform a blessing or ceremony either inside or outside a church, it can only be done with my prior written permission. Disregard of this prescription will result in canonical penalties".

I remember an incident at the Vatican when John Paul II was pope. A person who was there for a blessing had some sort of fit when the Pope approached. Witnesses said she spoke to John Paul in a “cavernous voice,” in a language that was not understandable to any witness.
The incident took place late in the year 2000.
Yes. She was possessed. It’s a real thing.
Cardinal Fernández: Same-sex blessing ‘does not validate or justify anything’
Seems like Tucho and Bergoglio have been hanging around too much with the wrong crowds. No mention of confession, contrition, penance or a promise to amend one's life.
