A Church That Blesses Disorder
In Germany, Bishop Helmut Dieser of Aachen has formally authorized blessings for “all couples who love each other,” regardless of marital status or sexual orientation. The decree, drawn from the German bishops’ document Segen gibt der Liebe Kraft, makes such ceremonies part of diocesan pastoral life.
The text claims inspiration from Fiducia Supplicans (2023), which opened the door to “spontaneous blessings” for same-sex couples. Aachen goes further: there are no doctrinal limits, only the invitation to “celebrate love.” The words marriage, sin, and chastity are nowhere to be found.
For two thousand years, the Church blessed what God joined. Now it blesses whatever man desires. This is the institutionalization of confusion. Once doctrine is replaced by sentiment, every boundary collapses.
The “Prophet” of Perversion
On 11 October 2025, in Saint Peter’s Square, Leo XIV addressed pilgrims from Tuscany:
“Don Lorenzo Milani, prophet of the Tuscan and Italian Church… had as his motto ‘I care’. I urge you not to be passive, and to do your part to shape the face of a Church that cares about people’s lives.”
Those words, spoken before thousands, were deliberate. They echoed Francis’s earlier praise of the same man. Leo knew exactly what he was saying. He was canonizing corruption.
Don Lorenzo Milani (1923 – 1967) was no prophet. He was a priest who wrote letters so vile that even his admirers blush to cite them.
***Reader Discretion Advised***
In a 1959 letter he admitted,
“If there is a danger for my soul, it is certainly not that I have loved too little, but that I have loved too much—meaning even to the point of taking them to bed. And then, who will ever be able to love boys to the bone without, in the end, putting it up their backside, if not a teacher who, together with them, also loves God, fears hell, and longs for heaven?”
Those are Milani’s own words, printed by his supporters. They read like the diary of a predator; an unholy mixture of piety and perversion. They reveal a mind that confused affection with lust, sanctity with sickness. Nothing in them speaks of holiness, only of the corruption of innocence dressed up as spiritual sensitivity.
This is the man Leo XIV called a prophet. Who Francis called a role model for priests! A priest who openly fantasized about sexual acts with boys is now held up as a model of “a Church that cares.” It is obscene. It is the inversion of everything Christ’s Church once stood for.
Per katholisches.info, “In 1952, Don Milani described what comes from Catholic action as “shit”, that of Pope Pius XII as “shit” and also that of Alcide De Gasperi as “shit”, who was then chairman of the Christian Democratic Party and Italian Prime Minister.”
Milani replaced the language of sin and grace with that of oppression and liberation, recasting Christ as a social reformer whose mission was not to save souls but to rearrange society. It was theology rewritten in the grammar of Marx, where heaven became equality and salvation meant the leveling of all hierarchy. In Milani’s world, the Cross was no longer the ladder to eternity but the banner of revolution.
The Scandal of Leo and Francis
Despite all of this, in June 2017, Pope Francis left the Vatican to visit and pray at the tomb of Milani who died in 1967. He described him as a role model for priests.
Ping
Here you go, oystir! This Don Lorenzo Milani is just your type of priest!
Leo is turning out to be a real dud.
Meet the new pope worse than the last pope, guess I won’t be returning to the church after all.
Don’t know how ANYONE of right mind and morals could call themselves a catholic...
Maybe it’s just me but this seems worse than a dud. A dud would be Leo just sitting in the Vatican doing nothing and not praising evil.
“blessings for “all couples who love each other,””
vomitous
Pervost has turned out to be just as bad as Bergoglio.
This is vile.
Jesus returns to the Church every Sunday. Even if the priest is a big time sinner. Jesus went to the Temple and the synagogues, despite the leadership there.
Go to Church. Make Jesus glad He showed up.
But, that being said, I don’t financially support the Vatican. I support local needs and works of spiritual and corporal mercy.
Could this Pope Leo, be one of the worst Popes’ in the history of Catholicism? He certainly is making his way to 666.
Well said? I will continue attending mass and to heck with the lousy Pope.
So the priests who were defrocked for sex with boys will be welcomed back. Given this act by Leo they have to be.
Roman Catholic
Papal infallibility is purely a decision making like the vice president’s deciding vote in the Senate.
Dear Friend,
Thank you for your polite question—it’s a great chance to clarify. Papal infallibility is neither purely “legal” nor “moral” in isolation; it’s a charism of the Holy Spirit protecting the Pope from error when he solemnly defines a doctrine on faith or morals as binding for the whole Church (ex cathedra, Vatican I, Pastor Aeternus 4; Mt 16:18–19: “On this rock I will build my church… whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven”). It’s limited: Not for personal opinions, science, or politics, but to safeguard truth (Jn 16:13: “The Spirit… will guide you into all the truth”; 1 Tim 3:15: Church as “pillar and bulwark of the truth”).
My analogy to the VP’s tie-breaking vote, well on rethinking it and re readung I see that it is not quite right—infallibility isn’t decision-making or resolving ties; it’s divine preservation of teaching (Lk 22:32: Jesus prays for Peter to “strengthen your brothers”).
