Pope Francis Endorses Homosexual Civil Unions

By David Martin

Clergy and laity throughout the world are aghast over a Trump-bashing documentary that premiered in North America on October 25 in which *Pope Francis is calling for same-sex civil unions to be legalized.   

In an interview with filmmaker Evgeny Afineevsky, the pope said that homosexuals have a right to live together as family.

"Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it."

Unfortunately, Homosexuals do not have a right to family life since they forfeit family life by mocking and forsaking family life through their LGBT activity. Nor do they have a moral right to be around others as long as they are infected with these sodomite aspirations. If they quarantine people for merely having a COVID runny nose should they not also queerantine those who are infected with this LGBT plague?

Family life also implies the raising of children as is commonly done by homosexual couples through adoption, so is Francis suggesting that gay couples adopt children so that they can pedophile and pollute them from the cradle? What manner of horror story has this pope opened the door to? “Woe to those who scandalize the young!" (Mt. 18:7)

Francis calls homosexuals the "children of God," deceptively implying that they are affectionately embraced by God as they are when in fact they are children of the devil doing the works of the devil, for which they would be forever banished if someone didn't come along in true charity to encourage them onto the right and shining path. They indeed were created as children of God, which means everything in our power should be done to guard and protect the innocence of these children through careful indoctrination and through the admonition to avoid the occasion of sin, but it appears that Francis has rather sought to hand these precious children over to the devil by sanctioning illicit unions that are the work of the devil.   

Speaking of these homosexual civil unions, the pope said:

 “What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.” 

Shall we also create a civil law that protects rapists, terrorists, and thieves? Should their criminal acts be "covered" as well? It would make more sense to create protective laws for such offenders than for gays since homosexuality is a worse sin in God's eyes, being one of the four sins "crying to Heaven for vengeance." 

Francis’ call for the legalization of same-sex unions coincides with his most recent move to appoint to the college of cardinals Archbishop Gregory Wilton of Washington D.C., who is an avid pro-LGBT advocate.   

What the pope is calling for is what people call "gay marriage," a legal contract that affords LGBT couples the same legal protection that married people have, but he is forgetting that homosexual unions are condemned by God, and as such, may never be raised to the level of family. 

Holy Writ makes it clear: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22) It was the sin of homosexuality that brought the fierce punishment of God upon Sodom and Gomorrah, but it appears that Francis is in denial of this Biblical fact. 

Has he not considered St. Paul’s epistle to the Romans wherein he criminalizes those men who "have burned in their lusts one towards another,  men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error?" According to the Apostle, "They who do such things are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them." (Romans 1: 27, 32) 

According to Holy Scripture, Francis' endorsement of LGBT-unions is encouraging a lifestyle that will inevitably bring eternal death upon all who engage in it. Is this charity or cruelty? Are we kind to neighbor by misleading him into the fire or by rescuing him from the fire? Jesus cleansed the lepers from their sickness so shouldn't the pope endeavor to cleanse homosexuals from their moral leprosy? 

Strategic Hand of Satan 

Unfortunately, the pope's Trump-bashing / pro-LGBT statements occur just at a time when it could swing the Catholic vote in America over to pro-LGBT Joe Biden and thus help bring about the downfall of America and consequently the world. The devil indeed is playing chess on the political board so we pray that Francis' anti-family statements do not influence the vote in America but that Americans will remain ever resolved to vote for Donald Trump who is committed to preserving traditional family values. 

* It is good to point out that this latest by Francis is unprecedented and in no way represents the Papacy or the Catholic Church but the Marxist infiltration of the Church. Just as Washington today is submerged in the evils of the “deep-state” so Rome is “on the verge of capsizing.” (Benedict XVI, July 15, 2017)

Cardinal Müller: “I Don’t Know the Wording of the Interview, But the Effect is Fatal”

"The Catholic faithful are irritated, the enemies of the Church feel confirmed by the representative of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose sonship they reject." said Cardinal Gerhard Müller

Vatican (kath.net) I do not know the exact wording of the interview, which is often ambiguous.  But the effect is fatal.

The Catholic believers are irritated, the enemies of the Church feel confirmed by the representative of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose sonship they reject.  Instead of using theological and philosophical arguments of reason, one appeals to feelings, thus using sentimentality to checkmate the rationality of faith.

Faith does not depend on a political option in the right or left spectrum or on an ideological position between conservatism and progressivism, but only on the truth, which God himself is in his being and in the word of his historical revelation.

The Christian believes in God as the first truth and recognizes the Pope and the bishops as successors of Peter and the other apostles.

Loyalty to the Pope is different from idolatrous papolatry, similar to the principle that the leader or the party is always right.

Wherever there is tension between the evident word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO.

The Magisterium serves the word of God and is never above revelation.  In any case, this is the valid teaching of the Church on the relationship between God's revelation in Christ and the Magisterium subordinate to him.

The present statement is a purely private expression of opinion which every Catholic can and should openly contradict.

John Henry Newman (1801-1890), the famous cardinal and one of the greatest doctors of the modern age, has said that even worse than the financial corruption in ecclesiastical organizations and the moral corruption of clergy and lay leaders is the corruption in matters of revealed doctrine.  That was and is the source of all grievances and scandals in church history.

 What is Church sincerity or the freedom of a Christian?  The same relationship exists between the Pope and the bishops, especially the cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, as between Peter and the other apostles.  Paul opposed Peter because he had "deviated from the truth of the Gospel" through ambiguous behavior and speeches (Gal 2:14).  Jerome, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas take the side of Paul in their interpretation of the letter to Galatians and praise Peter for his humility in allowing himself to be corrected by his.

 In the Catholic Church the Word of God applies - with regard to the complementarity of the sexes, marriage and family - in the definitive interpretation in the person and mission of Christ, His Son, towards the Pharisees and then and now: "Have you not heard that the  Creator created them male and female in the beginning? That is why the man will leave his father and mother and bind himself to his wife, and the two will be one flesh. "  (Mt 19, 4).

There is no right to marriage and family unless a man and a woman, according to their God-created nature, freely say to one another in their conscience and before God's face: Only you and forever - until death do us part.  Outside of legitimate marriage, according to God's will, every sexual union is objectively a grave sin - regardless of the subjective guilt, which only God knows and whose forgiveness we can trust ourselves to be forgiven at any time.

But we must not sin frivolously towards the mercy of God and instead of being justified by his judgment of Grace, we must see our sinful action confirmed by the applause of de-Christianized contemporaries.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church makes a clear distinction between pastoral care and personal care for people with a tendency towards people of the same sex and the objective assessment of homosexual acts or heterosexual acts outside of marriage that are in contradiction to God's commandment.  "Whoever says that he remains in Him must also lead a way of life as He has led him."  (1 John 2, 6).

Keeping the commandments of God is an expression of love for Him and the recognition of its healing effect on people.  Instead of meeting with people who feel confirmed by him in their attitude and wrong thinking and who show off a picture of the Pope in front of the world, the Pope should study Daniel Mattson's book and invite him to a conversation.  He is an American who has found his way from the indignity of sexual promiscuity to a celibate life in the "freedom and glory of the children of God" (Rom 8:21).

Cardinal Gerhard Müller is the retired Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Imam Meets With Pope and Justifies Beheading of History Professor

 

Bergoglio (Pope Francis) and the Imam of the al-Azhar mosque, Ahmed Al-Tayeb · Photo: VoxNews

 Al-Azhar, the most influential theological and university center of Sunni Islam, reaffirmed after the beheading of the French professor on the outskirts of Paris "the need to pass international laws that criminalize attacks on religions and their symbols".

 That means a demand for a global law against "Islamophobia" so that it should no longer be the "duty" of terrorists to behead unpopular people, but rather the Islamophile governments do it directly.

 Today the Imam of Al-Azhar, Al-Tayyeb, spoke at the peace meeting in Rome, at which Pope Francis was also present.  His proclamation:

 "I distance myself and the rules of the Islamic religion" from the "sinful crime and from those who pursue perverse ideologies." "The terrorist does not represent Mohammed." But "the insults of religions and the abuse of sacred symbols under the motto of freedom of expression is a form of intellectual ambiguity."

 In short, those who behead and those who show a caricature of Muhammad are on the same level.

Priestly Seminaries of Tradition -- Their Chalice Overflows -- Not Enough Room for All of the Vocations

 

20 seminarians from the St. Peter Seminary in Wigratzbad (FSSP) received the minor ordinations in February 2020.

(Florence) While diocesan seminaries are empty due to a lack of vocations and, in the fight against priestly celibacy and for the female priesthood, priestly vocations do not seem desirable anywhere, traditional seminaries have completely different concerns. They are struggling with the lack of space. The Seminary of Saint Peter of the Fraternity of St. Peter in Wigratzbad and the Seminary of St. Philip Neri of the Institute of Christ the King and Sovereign Priest in Gricigliano have experienced so many new entrants that it is as though they are bursting at the seams.

In order to be able to accommodate all seminarians, in Wigratzbad, where seminarians from the German and French-speaking countries and the respective neighboring areas study, the rooms of other academic years were occupied twice over. The premises in the seminary, which was only inaugurated in December 2000, have long been exhausted. The seminary records the years 2019 and 2020 as the strongest entry cohorts to date. Since it is a new building, there are no outbuildings or attics that could be used to accommodate seminarians.

In Gricigliano, rooms that were part of the farm buildings of the former manor, in which the seminary is located and which have not previously been used, are being provisionally rededicated. Further conversions to gain space or additions or extensions will be necessary hereand there.

Last May and June, thirteen candidates from the Petrine Brotherhood were ordained priests. Because of the corona restrictions imposed by the governments of France and the Federal Republic of Germany, they took place for the new priests from Wigratzbad under special circumstances and not in public. Among the consecrated there are four new priests from the German-speaking countries.

Due to the redesign of the altar area carried out by the diocese of Augsburg a few years ago, the Church of the Atonement in Wigratzbad is no longer suitable for Mass in the traditional rite. For ordinations, even under normal conditions, the seminary has to use churches in the area that are made available by friendly priests.

For the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest in July nine new priests were ordained for the traditional form of the Roman Rite. The ordinations were, as it has for the Institute, become a tradition in the church of Santi Michele e Gaetano and were offered by Cardinal Raymond Burke. The church, dedicated to the Archangel Michael and consecrated by the great Saint Cajetan, a co-founder of Theatines, is located in the immediate vicinity of the famous cathedral of Florence and the associated baptistery.

20 seminarians of the institute were vested in the run-up to the ordination and received tonsure. 23 seminarians received vesture and tonsure for the Society of Saint Peter in October 2019 in the USA and in February in Wigratzbad.

Both communities are still very young. Under canon law, both were established as societies of apostolic life by clerics under papal law who know no religious vows. While the Society of Saint Peter  is constituted as a society of secular priests, the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest follows the example of secular canons, like those brought into being by St. Francis de Sales. The former are addressed as priests (fathers), the latter as canons (canons).

The Fraternity of St. Peter was founded in 1988 by a handful of former priests and seminarians of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X. Today it has two international seminaries. The General House is located in Friborg, Switzerland. The Superior General is the Pole, Father Andrzej Komorowski, Regent of the seminary of Wigratzbad is the French, Father Vincent Ribeton and of the seminary of Danton (USA) the Swiss Father, Josef Bisig.

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest was founded in 1990 by two French priests, Monsignor Gilles Wach, Canon Philippe Mora in Gabon and they were received shortly after in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence in Tuscany. Msgr. Wach is Superior General of the Institute, Kan. Mora Regent of the international seminary.

While the Society of Saint Peter has three roughly equally strong pillars, a German, a French and an English, the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a predominantly a French community. The majority of their relatives come from France or the French-speaking area. However, the Institute's vicar general is the German priest Msgr. Rudolf Michael Schmitz. Msgr. Wach was ordained a priest by Pope John Paul II, Msgr. Schmitz by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger.

The lack of space can be remedied, but the lack of appeal is much more severe.

Evil US Bishops Support Biden Campaign

 Edit: don’t give a single dime to these people. This isn’t exactly new, but it sure does get the noggin joggin.

NOTE: At the end of this article, we ask that you contact your bishop to demand that all members of Faith in Action be immediately and permanently banned from future funding from the CCHD.

[Lepanto Institution] The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) are funding an organized and direct effort to elect former vice president Joe Biden as the next president of the United States. Faith in Action (formerly the PICO Network) is one of the most heavily funded organizations of the CCHD.  The Faith In Action Network includes forty-nine organizations spread across twenty states.  At least twenty-nine affiliates of Faith in Acton’s network receive funding from the CCHD, comprising more than $1.5 million in the 2019-2020 CCHD grants cycle. Each local affiliate of Faith in Action is a branch from the national organization, which means that every directive and action of the national organization is also the directive and action of the local groups as well.  Those Faith in Action members receiving CCHD funds for 2019-2020 are:

Faith in Action Bay Area – $30,000
Faith in San Joaquin – $25,000
Inland Congregations United for Change – $75,000
LA Voice – $40,000
People Acting in Community Together – $25,000

Massachusetts Communities Action Network – $65,000
Pioneer Valley Project – $75,000
United Interfaith Action of Southeastern Massachusetts – $50,000
Worcester Interfaith – $40,000
Michigan Faith in Action – $65,000
ACTIONN – $65,000

Niagara Organizing Alliance for Hope – $65,000
VOICE – Buffalo, Inc. – $65,000
Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower and Rebuild – $65,000
Vermont Interfaith Action – $60,000

In 2016, the CCHD awarded the National PICO Network a massive grant of $500,000, which means that Catholic funding has gone to both local members of Faith in Action as well as the national organization.

Pope Benedict Says Same Sex Marriage is Anti-Christ

The former Pope Benedict XVI has called same-sex marriage a product of the Antichrist and said society has become so hostile to Christian doctrine that it will shun anyone who opposes equal marriage rights.

 The statement comes in a new authorized biography of Benedict by German journalist Peter Seewald. Titled Benedict XVI: The Biography: Volume One, it came out Monday in Germany, the former pope’s native country.

The quote is from an interview Benedict did with Seewald, his frequent collaborator, in 2018. “One hundred years ago, everybody would have considered it to be absurd to speak of a homosexual marriage. Today, one is being excommunicated by society if one opposes it,” he said, according to a translation published in PinkNews.

To the President: Emancipate America from COVID Oppression

By David Martin

The national hysteria over COVID-19 is reaching insanely absurd proportions and a key reason is that not enough is being done to refute the COVID disinformation being spread by the liberal media. It is high time that America awaken to the fact that COVID-19 is not a national health emergency but is simply a political tool that deep-state Antichrist forces are using to lock down on American liberty. 

What we are looking at is a daily barrage of COVID fake news, no different than the fake news that Trump "colluded with the Russians" or that he is "responsible for spreading Coronavirus in America." Fake news describes it best and when we have deep-state socialists like Cuomo, Biden, and Fauci spreading these lies it only confirms the point.

The fact is that less than 10,000 people have died from COVID-19 in America, something the CDC confirmed on August 30, so at this point in time it is not we the people who must prove ourselves to fake state officials but they who must prove to the people that their fake numbers are correct. https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/new-cdc-report-shows-94-of-covid-19-deaths-in-us-had-underlying-medical-conditions/

In the meantime, the best thing America can do is to turn a deaf ear to the media and drop this COVID fuss, i.e. to drop the masks, distancing, and worrying, and get back to work and church as we did a year ago, because we are digging our own grave by taking this seriously. Already deep-state Democrats are gearing up for another wave of COVID-19 lock-downs this winter as they terrorize the public with fake reports about new "surging" COVID-19 case and death numbers so it's important that we close our ears to this disinformation lest we strengthen this plan.  

The Enemy Hinges on our Fears

On the flip side, we will foil this plan by simply ignoring the fake media and deep-state officials because they are hinging on our fearful compliance for the realization of their plan to incarcerate us in fear and reduce us to a police-state as has happened in Melbourne, Australia. 

Simple action on the part of the president—like an executive order reducing any state COVID-19 lock-down orders to a mere advisory—would go a long way in encouraging America to stand up against this socialist plan to take our country from us. Certainly, there is something along these lines that he can do to prompt Americans to finally dismiss this authoritarian COVID-19 dictatorship so that we can return to saluting America with true peace and liberty. 

Let us pray that President Trump will take decisive action against recalcitrant state leaders who are using COVID-19 as a convenient tool to shackle America for such a move would be an essential part of Making America Great Again. 

Bergoglio Endorses Sodomitical Unions and Perverts Adopting Children

[NBC] Pope Francis called for the passage of civil union laws for same-sex couples in a documentary that aired in Rome on Wednesday, in a major departure from the position held by the Vatican’s doctrinal office.

“Homosexuals have a right to be part of the family,” the pontiff said in “Francesco,” a documentary about his life, according to the Catholic News Agency. “They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.”

“What we have to create is a civil union law,” he added. “That way, they are legally covered. I stood up for that.”

Another Hunter Biden Laptop — Biden on Underage Girls?

[Big League Politics] Rudy Giuliani made new shocking claims about the leaked contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop on Tuesday- a device the troubled younger Biden forfeited to a Delaware computer repairman when he declined to pick it up from repair services.

Giuliani claimed on Newsmax TV that the device contained pictures of “underage girls.”

Giuliani also shared a disturbing thread of text messages he attributes between Hunter and Joe Biden, in which the former describes engaging in highly questionable and sexually charged behavior. In one text, an individual Giuliani says is Hunter Biden describes a female associate telling his therapist that was “sexually inappropriate,” and that she refused to visit him out of fear that he “walk[ed] around naked smoking crack talijng[sic]to girls on face time .”

Churches Set Afire in Revolutionary Chile

 Church tower was deliberately set on fire - VIDEO

Santiago de Chile (kath.net/pl) In the course of violent unrest, churches have also been targeted in Chile. Protesters stormed the San Francisco de Borja church in the capital Santiago de Chile on Sunday, another church was also stormed. The steeple of one of the two churches went up in flames, and its fall was greeted with cheers. The riots are taking place in advance of the Chile's voting on the referendum on whether to replace the constitution from the time of the Pinochet dictatorship. At the same time, the unrest commemorated the one-year anniversary of the mass protests, in which over 30 had been killed and several thousand injured.

The Young Yearn for the Immemorial Mass of All Ages

by Young Catholic Girl 

Whenever I find an “petition book” in a church, I like to leaf through it. Then my gaze may get caught on a clumsy children's handwriting that simply tells us that the child went on a nice excursion with their parents and wants to share this joy. There is the elderly lady who prays for her grandchildren or people who pray for their sick parents. There is a lot of thanks to our Lord, sometimes a little cross or a few little hearts from the hands of children for God. But there is also a lot of worry and sorrow that is brought before the Lord in a few words.

I read how people tried to deal with life with the virus and the required restrictions in faith by writing and bringing their concerns to God. And in a pilgrimage church I found a very special testimony of great clarity that speaks for itself:

Sad that…

... there is hardly any trust in God (therefore such measures as no epidemic or war have ever seen before)

... people are dominated by fear (this does not come from God, but from the other one)

... even in such a holy and beautiful place there is not even a Latin Mass in the traditional Rite on Sacred Heart Fridays (quote from Pope Benedict XVI: which has never been abolished).

All God's blessings and healing in their hearts

PS I am not old. The Latin mass is sought after by young people

Chechen Beheads History Teacher in Paris

 PARIS/CONFLANS-SAINTE-HONORINE, France(Reuters) - The teenager who beheaded a teacher outside the school in a Paris suburb where he taught had approached pupils in the street and asked them to point out his victim, anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard said on Saturday.

Police shot dead the 18-year-old attacker, who was born in Russia, minutes after he murdered 47-year-old history teacher Samuel Paty in broad daylight in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on Friday.

A photograph of the teacher's body, accompanied by a message claiming responsibility posted on Twitter, was discovered on the assailant's phone, found near his body. Ricard said the Twitter account belonged to the attacker.

“Anti-Semitic” High School Principal Reinstated in Florida

MARRA | PALM BEACH POST | 3:53 pm EDT October 14, 2020 Through all the fallout from his Holocaust remarks, ousted Spanish River High Principal William Latson never stopped insisting he did nothing wrong. 

 Removed from the school after the revelation that he refused to call the Holocaust a historical fact, he sealed his fate by blaming the parent to whom he’d made the comment. It was that move, not his explosive remarks, that led to his firing. 

But Latson is back on staff in Palm Beach County’s public school system after successfully appealing his termination. And he appears as unapologetic as ever.

It's all one PSYOP

The New Barbarism

by Gary Potter

[Catholicism.org] When I was a young man I imagined that the end of a civilization would be dramatic. It turns out to be a lot less than that. The defense of an ancient city finally collapsing after a long siege and barbarians pouring through breached walls to loot, burn, rape and kill – something like that is what I imagined. I did not foresee our modern U.S. cities’ own inhabitants reverting to barbarism. What makes it less than dramatic is that there has been so little attempt to defend against their depredations. In fact, out of cowardice, fecklessness, sheer stupidity or (one suspects in some cases) complicity, the new barbarians have been excused or, worse, positively abetted by political, social, and religious leaders. The mayor of Portland likened their takeover of an entire neighborhood of her city to 1967’s hippie Summer of Love! Of course we have all seen pictures of Catholic bishops literally “giving the knee” to them.

That is a long way from, say, the fall of Constantinople in 1453 when Emperor Constantine XI died on the city's battlements with his boots on and sword in hand.

How account for there being so little resistance to the new barbarism (and so many other evils besetting society today)? Isn’t it obvious? It should be to all still clinging to the undiluted Faith and who remember that once upon a time Western society was shaped by laws and customs that conformed to its teachings. They will understand that as a society we and most of the rest of the West have exhausted the spiritual and moral capital accumulated during the centuries of our Christian past and have nothing left to spend but the now nearly valueless currency of failed liberalism. It’s not worth fighting for. 

The value of any currency is only as great as everyone believes it to be, and belief in the value of liberalism, the false philosophy that a couple of centuries ago replaced the Christianity around whose teachings the life of society was organized, has run out of it like value out of the dollar. (The political and social structures it built do still stand. Much of 

these days’ widespread anxiety arises from nobody knowing for sure what will replace them.)
