Dear God, is it any wonder I drink? https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/b...es/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=usa BREAKING: Vatican official says St. Peter’s Basilica will bless homosexual ‘couples’ Cardinal Mauro Gambetti added that as yet nobody has asked the canons of the basilica for such a blessing. VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Clergy at St. Peter’s Basilica will bless same-sex couples. According to a report in the Italian newspaperIl Messaggero today, the archpriest of Rome’s most famous church, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, has stated that blessings of homosexual couples could happen there. “To show the world the maternal face of the Church and along the lines of what [Pope Francis] has asked for,” Gambetti reportedly said. However, he added that as yet nobody has asked the canons of the basilica for such a blessing. “It doesn’t seem to me that reports have come in,” the cardinal stated and added that they, presumably the clergy of the basilica, “will move straight along the furrow that has been cut.” Gambetti made the remarks during a press conference about the upcoming restoration of Bernini’s famous baldacchino. The possibility of such an occurrence in St. Peter’s Basilica was made almost inevitable by Pope Francis’s new declaration on blessings, Fiducia Supplicans, which holds out the possibility of “non-liturgical” blessings of couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples. Nevertheless, the psychological and spiritual impact of the blessing of such couples in Christianity’s most famous shrine will be immense. Fiducia Supplicans, prepared by the controversial new prefect for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Victor Fernandez, has received a mixed reception from bishops, clergy, and laity since its release on December 18, 2023. The document was hailed by such LGBT activist-priests as Fr. James Martin, whose subsequent blessing of a homosexual couple was photographed by The New York Times, as well as by bishops in Germany and Belgium. It also found favor in Beijing-influenced Hong Kong. However, its novelties have been resisted by bishops in Eastern and Central Europe, Latin America and, especially, Africa. Today the president of the episcopal conferences of Africa and Madagascar declared that Fiducia Supplicans’ blessing of same-sex couples will not be implemented in his continent. The chief difficulty bishops, priests and laity have with Fiducia Supplicans is that it fails to make a sufficient distinction between the blessing of individuals and the blessing of their objectively sinful relationships. As the American Byzantine Catholic Bishop of Parma, Bishop Robert Pipta, observed recently, “in our society, the word ‘couple’ has come to be understood as two people who have entered a relationship that is either one of dating, engagement, or marriage. According to Church teaching, two people of the same sex cannot be in any of these types of relationships. There can never be a Church blessing for these.” Pipta is not alone in observing that there is a difference between blessing an individual and blessing a “couple.” The Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia, Charles Chaput, called Fiducia Supplicans “a doubleminded exercise in simultaneously affirming and undercutting Catholic teaching on the nature of blessings and their application to ‘irregular’ relationships.” He observed also that the document “was quickly interpreted as a significant change in Church practice”and cited Fr. Martin’s New York Times photo op.
I must pray to Our Lady and Our Lord, I am dying with curiosity to know what will happen next. I must admit whatever else it is it is never boring at the moment. The Chinese have a curse, 'May you live in interesting times'. Well these times are very, very interesting indeed. What next? The big, big question.
Blessings for cannibals? With all the necessary discernment of course, and that lovers of human meat are not sitting at the table for dinner, so as not to cause a scandal.
Contents of this video brought me back to when I was young, early 20's. There was an older woman I worked with called Rosa, she had been in the French resistance as a young woman during the Second World War, and was a committed communist. She was a lovely person. I thought very highly of her, she came from money as they say and lived in a very posh house. I say this because to me she had come from better than the working class, but held those beliefs which I though was a bit strange. Anyway she knew I was a practising Catholic and when we were talking one day she informed me that communism was true Christianity. She informed me that Jesus Christ was the first communist. She informed me how Christians formed communities (communism). At that time I was very interested in her take on it. I knew communism was atheistic but had no mechanism to differentiate the difference between Christianity and communism, off I went to ask the Parish Priest to explain to me what the difference was. The Parish Priest I went to see has since died God rest his soul. He was Father Colm Kellegher, a Dublin man. A very holy man praised be Jesus and Mary. He put up with me every time I had a question to ask, and never let me down. Father Kellegher said with Jesus Christ and the Church He founded, we serve and obey God Who is in charge of everything, in communism we serve and obey the state which takes charge of everything ignoring God and our duties and responsibilities to Him. Communism cancels God and takes His rightful place. Watching the video above it was clear to me nobody explained the simple facts to poor Pope Francis when he was young, and he has lived his life under a false illusion about communism that has wrecked whole countries and societies since it reared it's ugly head. God enlighten the Holy Father. Father Kellegher, please pray for Pope Francis before he misdirects a billion souls on the wrong path. And may God have Mercy on the Pope.
Jesus condensed, without reducing them in any way, the Ten Commandments into two: "Love God with all your heart and soul and mind"; and "love your neighbour as yourself". Communists forcefully abolish the first and alter the second to "love your neighbour more than yourself". By their fruits do we know them.
Father Kellegher was very wise. But really he was only teaching what the Church teaches and what it has always taught. Jesus taught that by their fruits you shall know them and they say that up until the present day up to 110 million million people have died under communist rule. Where there is Communism Rule you always have persecution of the Catholic Church. Even in this present day the Communists persecute the Church in places like China, North Korea , Venezuala and Cuba. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
U.S. Poll: Pope’s Unfavorability Rises January 13, 2024 by sd From Crux: A new survey conducted this past December has found that while most American adults still have a favorable view of Pope Francis, the percentage that hold an unfavorable opinion of the pontiff has risen to a new ten-year high. The survey, conducted Dec. 1-20 by the Gallup organization, found that 58 percent of American adults overall have a favorable opinion of Francis, the same as when he became pope in 2013. However, over the same period, the percentage of American adults who have an unfavorable opinion of Francis has risen from 10 percent to a new high of 30 percent. https://spiritdaily.org/blog/news/u-s-poll-popes-unfavorability-rises
If anyone likes this and goes along with it then they are just as much on the road to hell as the people who organise it. These perverts are way, way out in the open now. No more pretense.
It's better knowing than not knowing. St Paul faced all this wretched stuff in his own day and here's what he had to say about it. I think you know things are getting very,very bad very very quickly. Its like watching an apple rotting right before your very eyes. Way, way,way right out in the open. Ephesians 5:11-12 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
I’m not St Paul. I’m a woman who is unable to unsee things. I would appreciate it if it were removed.
You know Padraig, I tend to look at this from a different perspective. I see blasphemous images on social media all the time, but I would never bring them to MOG to make a point. IMHO these offensive images should not be shared online, we are only playing into the hands of those with evil intentions when we do so. There is no one on here who is not aware that these blasphemous images exist, we really don't need to see them on our beloved forum.
