Pope Francis’ concept of the Catholic Church is a welcoming home for all the Lesbians, Gays, Transgenders, Bisexual, divorced and remarried, Evangelicals and atheists. He feels that these people have been oppressed by the Church by Her condemnation of these “sins” and he wants to welcome them into the “hospital church” to be accepted and healed.
I think he puts them in the same category as the poor, the unemployed youth and anyone else who may have been oppressed. Although his compassion is to be commended, it is misplaced. These people are living in sin and will go to hell if they are not corrected before they die.
The pope has a pattern.
1. He receives a letter from someone feeling alienated from the church because he is gay or had a “sex change”, (which is impossible genetically, a boy is always a boy no matter what operations he may use to change his exterior body. Boys have an X and a Y chromosome. Girls have two X chromsomes), or is divorced and remarried, or is a single mother separated from a violent boyfriend, who could have killed her baby by abortion but did not.
2. Then there comes the phone call from the pope to make them feel accepted by the “church”.
3. In some cases, they are invited to have a private audience with him.
4. Then somehow the media hears about it.
5. The liberals acclaim the pope as a hero.
6. Almost every Catholic and nonCatholic gets confused.
7. People begin to believe that the Catholic Church can, and has changed Her teachings on sexual morality.
8. Most Catholics who have already accepted the “world’s new morality” feel affirmed in their deviant life styles.
9. Their conscience is appeased because they have heard from the pope that their deviant life style is not immoral after all.
10. In fact it is something to celebrate and be proud of.
11. More people copy these sinful “Catholics” immoral life styles.
These same people continue to die at every age imaginable, every minute, all over the world and here are the consequences:
1. These people are judged by God’s rules, not Pope Francis’ rules.
2. These people may be damned to hell for all eternity.
3. Their souls are lost, not saved.
Now let us look at what then happens to someone who might disagree with the pope and instead, uphold what Jesus teaches in the Holy Bible and His 2000 year old Catholic Church.
1. Progressive blogs, media, clerics and people strongly condemn them as extremist.
2. They are immediately labeled as unloving and extremely judgmental.
3. If they happen to speak the truth at a parish or Catholic school, an angry group of opposition is organized against them.
4. They justify their anger, hate and persecution of that person by quoting “their loving pope” who says “Who am I to Judge” and “Do not talk about Abortion or Birth control”.
5. The cardinals, (like Cardinal Burke), religious, (like Franciscan Friars), or persons who spoke the Catholic truth, are then demoted, removed, silenced or punished.
6. All over the world, traditional Catholics are being persecuted and suppressed by the pope, bishops, religious and other priests.
7. Being a believing and traditional Catholic is the only “unforgivable sin”.
The very first Spiritual Work of Mercy is to Admonish the sinner. Yes, we Bible believing and Catholic Church believing people also love and care about the sinners. We love those struggling with same sex attraction or gender identity confusion or any sinful temptation and confusion. But we help them to realize;
Sin is still sin.
God loves us and put His commandments to protect us. God is just.
Any unconfessed mortal sin at time of death will condemn us to hell for all eternity.
Heaven is our true home and where true pleasure is to be found.
Let us keep on speaking the Biblical and Catholic truth no matter how much we are persecuted, judged, condemned, hated, silenced, called extremist and black listed. We are in great company with Jesus, St. John the Baptist and all the saints throughout history. Be a prophet of truth, you will be ridiculed, ostracized, called names, exiled and maybe soon, imprisoned or killed. Jesus said: “Do not be afraid”.
“Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12.
Man does not save souls.
As far as I can see, this Pope really doesn't do that.
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
Especially not Francis.
Occasionally a girl is born with an X and a Y chromosome if the Y chromosome fails to express itself at the right time during development.
DAMN...and here I thought that the church was MEANT to house sinners...oh well, if it’s just a place for the redeemed to hang out, most of us had just best mosey on......sigh.
The pope doesn’t save souls.
He doesn’t save anyone.
Only Jesus does and can do that.
There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved....(Acts 4:12 spoken by Peter)
Are you sure you’re on the right thread?
What an unbelievable misunderstanding of what the church is about and what redemption is about.
But then again, I'm not surprised.......
BRING BACK BENEDICT...!
His departure was mysterious, and this imposter is a SOCIALIST.
The last time I checked, we all live in sin. I am fine with fags going to church. I am not fine with the church saying being a fag is ok and not a sin. I am not fine with priests that are fags. I don't think the Pope is advocating condoning sin. I do have problems with the social justice crap the is creeping into the Catholic church and many other denominations. BTW, I much rather see fags be welcomed into the Catholic church than into the Episcopalian church. They won't find any help there. BTW, I am an Episcopalian, but very catholic (lower case 'c') in my beliefs.
Francis is leading Catholics down the wide path.
No, the church is not meant to house sinners. It's meant to house those who have repented from sin.
XXY is Klinefelter’s syndrome and these people are considered males. They are effete males with small genitals, wide hips and gynecomastia.
seriously. Evangelicals are living in sin and will go to hell if not corrected. Any Roman catholics that get to heaven are going to be really surprised to find some of us protestants there......
nope...those who have repented from sin have listened to the Catholic church and have thus repented....those who have not yet repented still need the church as do those who have left the church.
He's a Jesuit which sweentens the Globalist Agenda all the more....masters at appearing gracious and kind, but are highly political and believe they have a major role in International Diplomacy and Politics...with the determination that will be so.
This is why we will see Francis more and more involved in the politics of countries, either out in front or working it behind the scenes.
Looking ahead shortly Francis will be speaking at the UN as an offical Diplomate.....ever wonder why the Pope, out of all other religions, is given an audiance at the UN and in our Congress?...The US doesn't doesn't conduct high level diplomacy with any other religion.....we even have an Embassy at the Vatican and according to the Ambassador to the Vatican he states.." it's all about "Foreign Policy".
It's because they know the Pope can highly influence over 1.2 billion people world wide...not to mention the "spys" they can use under the cloak of Priestly garments etc. in all countries....they even have a phrase for it..."The Great Listening Post".
It was'nt til Kennedy that the US allowed this sort of thing with the Vatican, in fact til then highly opposed... as our politicians determined it was against the Ammendment. But 8 months after Kennedy's election he was visiting the Vatican officially....Interesting the Muslim nation saw this event as the beginnings of a New Crusade.
But isn't it Interesting the Vatican City has the highest crime rate for the number of it's citizens in the world!
Let's see now...the church is not for sinners.....it is reserved as a social hangout for people who have left the true church and decided to do things their own way....Now I get it...once that you call yourself "born again" you have a nice local congregation to hang out with....all those liars, sodomists, divorcees, thieves, whatever can fend for themselves....Christ came to entertain us, not save those sinners...........maybe not.
“Pope Francis’ concept of the Catholic Church is a welcoming home for all the Lesbians, Gays, Transgenders, Bisexual, divorced and remarried, Evangelicals and atheists.”
