Wednesday General Audience, His Holiness Pope Francis exhorted Catholics to continue their work in opposition to homosexual "marriage" as well as the adoption of children by homosexuals.<br /><br />The General Audience in question included a group of pilgrims from Alliance of the Family, who hail from Slovakia.<br /><br />Pope Francis declared to said group:<br /><br />"I greet the pilgrims from Slovakia and, through them, I wish to express my appreciation to the entire Slovak church, encouraging everyone to continue their efforts in defense of the family, the vital cell of society."<br /><br />Homosexuals, of course, reacted negatively to the Pope's endorsement of the Catholic pilgrims from Alliance of the Family.<br /><br />The Advocate, America's oldest and largest pro-LGTB publication, reported the following:<br /><br />Pope Has Kind Words for Backers of Anti-Equality Measures in Slovakia<br /><br />BY Trudy Ring<br />.<br />February 05 2015 8:40 PM ET <br /><br />"In a move that disappointed LGBT Catholics, Pope Francis this week praised those backing ballot measures in Slovakia that would not only ban same-sex marriage but also prohibit same-sex couples from adopting and allow parents to withdraw their children from sex education classes.<br /><br />"The pope made the statement Wednesday as pilgrims from Slovakia, a heavily Roman Catholic country, visited the Vatican, BuzzFeed reports. <br /><br />“I greet the pilgrims from Slovakia and, through them, I wish to express my appreciation to the entire Slovak church, encouraging everyone to continue their efforts in defense of the family, the vital cell of society,” he told the audience.<br /><br />"Also, Slovakian LGBT activists told the site that an antigay U.S. group, Alliance Defending Freedom, has encouraged opposition to gay rights in the nation.<br /><br />"American Catholic advocates for LGBT equality expressed disappointment with the pope’s endorsement of the ballot questions. <br /><br />“Pope Francis has made some amazing gestures of openness and welcome to LGBT people, but a statement like this shows that he still has a lot to learn,” Francis DeBernardo, executive director of New Ways Ministry, told The Advocate.<br /><br />“It’s pretty clear that since the synod on the family last fall … the Catholic right has really gotten to the Vatican and to Pope Francis,” said Marianne Duddy-Burke, executive director of DignityUSA, in an Advocate interview. “It’s really crushing to a lot of people who were hoping to see policy change.”<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />SteveStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-85067800294277636222015-07-16T12:36:21.781-07:002015-07-16T12:36:21.781-07:00Steve, can you cite some exhortations of Pope Fran...Steve, can you cite some exhortations of Pope Francis where he tells us to work against sodomite "marriage"?

It seems that His Holiness Pope Francis daily exhorts the Faithful to go to flee Satan, go to Confession, and reform their lives.<br /><br />The Faithful have received countless exhortations from Pope Francis to study the Catechism of the Catholic Church, go to Mass, turn to the Holy Family as our great role model, pray the Holy Rosary, invoke the Saints, work against sodomite "marriage", and keep Sunday holy.<br /><br />Did you read the Pope's recent Encyclical? His Holiness devoted a section to keeping Sunday holy.<br /><br />The Encyclical exhorts the Faithful to plan each Sunday around the Holy Eucharist. The section in question exhorts us to practice spiritual exercises each Sunday.<br /><br />In the Encyclical, Pope Francis exhorted us to spend time at rest each Sunday. Finally, he desires that we practice proper holy and joyful activities each Sundays...holy activities with family and friends.<br /><br />Oh...and the Pope's recent Encyclical urged Catholics to develop devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph.<br /><br />Have you read the texts of Pope Francis' Wednesday General Audiences...during the past few months in particular? You will find scores of traditional teachings in regard to how Catholics should form their families and practice family life.<br /><br />Please consider the following: Try to get your (Catholic) relatives and friends to read the section in Pope Francis' recent Encyclical that pertains to the keeping of Sunday holy.<br /><br />As Pope Francis made clear, it's imperative that Catholics restore Sunday to its proper place in God's plan for us. As Pope Francis has taught, Catholics must reestablish Sunday as day that is centered around the Eucharist.<br /><br />From there, as Pope Francis said, everything else will then fall into holy and proper place within the life of each Catholic...not just on Sunday, but each day.<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />SteveStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-61784651881300263242015-07-16T10:09:32.283-07:002015-07-16T10:09:32.283-07:00Do you think that possibly one day the Vatican wil...Do you think that possibly one day the Vatican will get back to the governance of the holy Church and the care of souls?M.
