I salute those God fearing Finns. What backbone to do this enmass. I have my own little person- of -one -protest with the Catholic church in my state because in Arizona the church leaders say that if the pope comes here, it shows his solidarity with their efforts to get illegals normalized. Imagine hearing that from the pulpit.
I reject that completely. So, I have been dismissing myself from Mass. Believe me, I have dialogues with God all the time. This is a very uneasy time for me.
I had to do the same over the Gay issue in my Church. I pray God Blesses you for your stance and faithfulness. I also stopped giving my money to any church or organization that supports these issues. I would not be a good steward of God’s money if I did not.
you would commit a mortal sin because someone interpreted what a visit from the Pope would mean????????please....
Yes good for them. Jesus is still Lord of all to some people, anyway. His authority and opinion is all that matters.
It helps me to remember that Jesus knows that priests ( bishops, cardinals and even popes) are humans and sinners too but yet allows His divine body to be humbled in the appearance of bread so that souls may join Him with The Father in Heaven.
I cannot imagine my life without the Eucharist and would ( and will ) suffer through misguided homilies of wayward clergy to receive it.

We are concerned about your immortal soul, please return to Holy Mass and worship God, He will bring peace to your heart and help you ignore the noise. This is a Latin Mass, I know the priest, he can be trusted.
Keep the faith lulu. A few poor shepherds won’t do damage. We’ve been through worse.
Keep coming to church. Find a different priest if you need to, but don’t keep putting yourself in mortal sin by avoiding Mass.
Those priests misunderstand what the Church teaches. The Church teaches compassion for those in need, but accepts countries being able to control their borders. Catholics of good will can disagree on the best methods for dealing with immigration. It is not a fundamental moral issue, like abortion or active homosexuality.
