But it wasn’t until six months ago that Benitez began making his way back to the Catholic Church. After Pope Francis died on April 21, Benitez was inspired by Father James Martin’s appearance on GMA, who talked about the church leader’s more progressive views. The late Pope famously said, “Who am I to judge?” when speaking about gay people in 2013.

What part of “intrinsically disordered” do these perverts not understand?

2 Thessalonians 2
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

So, I definitely will not watch ABC News on the weekends. Not that I watch it anytime, but I will now make an extra effort to never watch it. Get woke. Go broke.

My friend the Catholic priest would just laugh and say: “You’re going to Hell, buddy.” So would my priest. And many other priests I know. I'm sure in New York it wouldn't be hard to shop around to find a priest go along with this sacrilege.

So he is claiming to be Catholic, at least he is not claiming to be a Christian!

It is not possible to receive Holy Communion as a Catholic while in a state of sin. In fact “gay marriage” automatically excommunicates a Catholic.

Sorry buddy, but its not your “husband” in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Unless Leo takes Francis’s gay agenda and runs with it.

What the hell does the “Ark of the Covenant” have to do with a fudge-packer becoming a Catholic?
