[Catholic Caucus] Pictured: Priest replaces Joseph for same-sex nativity scene

Parish priest defends having two mothers of baby Jesus as reflective of modern families

A church nativity scene featuring two mothers of the Baby Jesus instead of the conventional Mary and Joseph has sparked anger in Italy.

Nativity scenes are popular in the largely Catholic country, but in recent years they have been increasingly mired in culture wars as its society becomes more secular and multi-cultural.

The priest at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, in Capocastello di Mercogliano, a hamlet in the province of Avellino about one hour’s drive east of Naples, has defended its depiction of the birth of Jesus.

“I wanted to show with this scene that families are no longer just the traditional ones,” said Father Vitaliano Della Sala.

“In our parishes we see more and more children from the new types of families that exist and are part of our society: children of separated and divorced people, gay couples, single people, young mothers.”

Oh, please not worry. The blessing is not to have any rites or rituals attached to it. It is not to explicitly or implicitly be a recognition or endorsement of same sex marriage, nothing has really changed, blah, blah,
Blah.
The leftists who run my church are just like those who run my country. They either think I’m stupid, or they know I’m not and have no problem reciting formulas that all is in order when they know that I know they’re not

[BatGuano]

That stupid bastard/priest should be tarred and feathered and driven out of town by men with fire sticks, pikes and spears!
He is following those who want to kill the church.

Sadly and Madly the pope is “all-in” on this Lesbos Isle thinking!

Sinful deeds will be punished accordingly.

Thank you.

Does the priest possibly not understand that Jesus did not have a human father?

Blasphemous.

I assume that he is a sodomite.

[antidemoncrat]

Seems to me the Catholic Church is becoming irrelevant.

I saw a mini-series; "Mrs. Davis", where the real Pope was imprisoned in a secret dungeon under the Vatican and replaced with a look-alike. Considering the agenda this current guy's been grinding I can't consider that a fiction.

Maybe this is another sign of End of Days.

It's not too late to get right with God, but time may be shorter than we think.

[Texas_Guy]

Once again the Protestant mantra of “No, I decide!” is pushed.
You see how that has worked since Luther’s rebellion.

Mocking God won’t turn out well for him. Have sent a prayer for his soul and for his congregation.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Does he belong to “the Church of the Woke”?
