[Catholic Caucus] BREAKING: Vatican official says St. Peter’s Basilica will bless homosexual ‘couples’

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Clergy at St. Peter’s Basilica will bless same-sex couples.

According to a report in the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero today, the archpriest of Rome’s most famous church, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, has stated that blessings of homosexual couples could happen there.

“To show the world the maternal face of the Church and along the lines of what Pope Francis has asked for,” Gambetti reportedly said.

However, he added that as yet nobody has asked the canons of the basilica for such a blessing.

“It doesn’t seem to me that reports have come in,” the cardinal stated and added that they, presumably the clergy of the basilica, “will move straight along the furrow that has been cut.”

Gambetti made the remarks during a press conference about the upcoming restoration of Bernini’s famous baldacchino.

The furrow that has been cut straight into the depths of Hell.

On 20 February 2021 Holy Father named him Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, Vicar General of His Holiness for Vatican City State and President of the Fabric of Saint Peter’s.

On 2 June 2023 the Holy Father has appointed the Cardinal Gambetti judge of the Vatican City State Supreme Court, with effect from 1 January 2024.

In the market for another church.

It doesn’t matter what level of validation they receive for their lifestyle. In the middle of the night they’ll still end up feeling something odd deep down inside - what they do is wrong somehow. The next best thing is for them to get everyone in on the perversion and accept, endorse and eventually encourage it. Even then there’s still that tinge.

Will this act not desecrate the basilica?

Time for a revolt. American and African cardinals need to ask their lawyers whether they can defy the Pope without having their church property seized by the Vatican.

Because it's wrong, everything in their nature tells them its wrong, but they do it anyway ... and the very people who SHOULD be telling them they're on a highway to HELL are instead lying to them by blasphemously daring to "bless" their unnatural coupling.

The first homo to get blessed will be the pope.

I have talked with a couple of priests here in Diocese of Rockville Center. One used the words schism or reformation. The other nodded agreement.

In actuality those ‘ones’ who are doing those ‘blessings’ are as equally sinful as the perverted they bless.

Is the pope—1. The Anti-Christ? 2. The False Prophet? or 3. The Great Whore of Babylon? Maybe all three? I hear the approaching hoofbeats of the Four Horsemen. Best to get right with Jesus now before you get to meet him up close and in person in a few weeks.

Asking a lawyer doesn’t sound like a revolt.

I suspect that he isn’t nor ever has been the pinnacle of faith, hope and humility such a high icon in the church should be and that he’s ‘hedging his bets’ trying every off-the-wall antithetical thing he can to get some sense of his piety. But to my mind he’s only made life here on this planet worse - much worse.

It's already been desecrated with Bergoglio’s worship of the Pachamam idol directly over St Peter's tomb.

It's almost fortuitous that Bergoglio has forbidden the TLM to offered in that once most holy basilica that has now been desecrated.


A most appropiate display of the wolf in the Vatican.

“In the market for another church.”

Maybe there’s a denomination that hasn’t been reported on here:

[Catholic Caucus] How the Swiss Guards prevented the Desecration of Pope Benedict’s Body lying in state inside St. Peter’s Basilica
Barnhardt ^ | January 9, 2023 | Ann Barnhardt

One of the things that most annoyed the bishops and cardinals present was the indolent attitude of Cardinal (Mauro) Gambetti, archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica. His cold and mechanical attitude in the celebration of the rites (and the voice of a man just out of bed that could be heard), and his lack of obedience of many rubrics did not go unnoticed.
