Why is ***anyone*** in the Catholic church concerning themselves with how God will judge others? As long as you have a publicly acknowledged Gay Mafia embedded in Vatican City, that is sufficient concern for you. You will not be able to worship in spirit and truth—Jesus’s requirement for all believers—unless and until you purge that evil from your midst.
When you ignore the Vatican City Gay Mafia and turn your attention toward the judgment of others, you are going even beyond the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. True, they were relentless in their judgement of others. But not even the Pharisees embraced Sodom and Gomorrah in their innermost circle, while concomitently discussing God’s plans to judge others.
Remove the beam from your own eye first, then focus on other people’s specks.
Romans 14:4
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
And re the practice of concerning yourself with God’s plans for others:
John 22:
20 Peter, turning around, *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
And above all, the passage Metmom posted. [Thank you, Metmom; your kindness, wisdom and godly insights are profoundly appreciated.] When Paul learned that the Corinthian church was harboring within its assembly the sexually immoral, he didn’t counsel them to distract themselves by speculating on God’s judgement of others. He told them to clean the sexual immorality out of their assembly ASAP. This is a timeless Apostolic admonition which no Christian assembly can dare to ignore.
Prayers for you and all your fellow Catholics, as you strive to cleanse the homosexual influence from the highest echelons of Vatican City. It will be no small task. May God richly bless your righteous efforts.
Your comment: “Why is ***anyone*** in the Catholic church concerning themselves with how God will judge others?”
The mission of the Catholic Church is to lead all to salvation. The article was for guidance. It clearly states “Since the Lord alone sees into our heart, he alone will be our just judge.”
You can either learn from the teachings of the Catholic Church or choose to ignore them like many posters here.
It is you that are judging and impugning the Catholic Church on alleged sins of some and they could be just inclinations and not sins as most priests and nuns are celibate. Again as Jesus asked “are you without sin to cast the first stone?” I do not deny that there is sinful activity by some Catholics and they may risk their salvation by doing so. There are certainly other internal and organizational problems that the Church needs to fix.
I believe that the Catholic Church has continued for 2000 years to teach the moral religious doctrines that Jesus and the Apostles gave us. I believe that many outside the Catholic Church have rejected some of the teachings of Jesus by their personal interpretations.
The Catholic Church doctrine is very clear on sexual sins outside of marriage including homosexuality, adultery, divorce and remarriage, etc. We have followed the Truth of Jesus compared to the Protestant doctrines and practices.
Thank you for your prayers as we all need to follow Christ’s example and do God’s will. We will need God’s help to solve our problems.
God’s Peace be with you.
