You know, and I know, and BERGOGLIO KNOWS, that the media, the world and the usual gang of internal termites in the Church will spin this process (the utterly unnecessary synod of bishops which did NOT call for this) and this "Joy of Love" document as a declaration of liberation for every illicit lust encouraged by Lucifer to the damnation of the souls of fallen men and women.

If he sees the Church as a hospital for souls, we may notice that he is administering poison rather than medicine to the patients.

Do people mired in such "lifestyles" have a great need for "help, moral guidance,and community (whatever that may mean in this context) and for God's Word? Of course, as do we all. As it has been observed, all men (and women) fall short of the glory of God. No one (and therefore no one in a state of sin) NEEDS to hear: "neither do I judge you." It is one thing when Jesus Christ offers that to one woman who came near to being executed for adultery. He knew her heart, her repentance and her contrition as His priests (with a scant few dead exceptions such as Padre Pio and St. Joh Vianney) do not.

It is bad enough that Bergoglio, questioned about sexually perverted priests, delivered the line: Who am I to judge? He is, of course, the Successor of Peter to whom Jesus gave the power of the Keys, to bind on earth and to bind in heaven. THAT is who he is to judge and, if he won't, he should retire in silence immediately! Now, compounding that infamous statement, Bergoglio is encouraging priests to do the same "Who am I to judge?" dance with penitents arguably seeking reconciliation with God but only on their own sinful terms.

May we have another conclave and a new and actually Catholic pope ASAP. Bergoglio does not have to die to bring this about. He can retire to a Unitarian rest home where I am confident he will be quite comfortable with his new non-judgmental friends.

You know, and I know, and BERGOGLIO KNOWS, that the media, the world and the usual gang of internal termites in the Church will spin this process . . . he is administering poison rather than medicine to the patients.

Agreed. This Pope is (probably intentionally, unless the media are editing his comments) not articulating the full message,. "Go and sin no more" is an essential part of any discussion on these topics - and homosexual conduct is very clearly and unambiguously one of the many sins that Satan uses to tempt people. The facts that it is a sin, and that living together outside marriage is a sin, should be core to any such discussion.

DRUDGE headline reports the Pope speaking of, “a time of ‘individual conscience’”.

Does that not sound like Liberation Theology, reminiscent of his Argentina religious culture?

Also, I remember Obama saying something similar, alluding to I think it was, “our collective salvation”, during the Reverend Wright debacle?

May the love of our Lord God remain upon you.
