Supposedly the invitation was "random."

https://www.ncronline.org/news/people/popes-phone-call-helps-children-italian-gαy-couple-become-catholic

Thanks to the personal intervention of Pope Francis, three young children of one Italian gαy couple are being brought up in the Catholic faith and even ministering as altar servers.

About five years ago, Andrea Rubera and his husband Dario were considering whether to enroll their oldest child, then about 3, in a catechetical program at a Rome-area parish. But they were afraid their child might be treated differently, or be subject to some sort of prejudice.

When by chance Rubera was asked in April 2015 if he would be part of a group invited to participate in the pope's daily Mass at the Vatican's Santa Marta guesthouse, the gαy Italian Catholic brought a letter to give to Francis, laying out his dilemma.

Days later, Rubera got an unexpected phone call. "I answered and it was the voice of the pope asking me, 'Mr. Rubera, is that you?' " Rubera recounted to NCR.

"I think you should do it," Rubera remembers the pope saying. "Go to the pastor, ask for a meeting, introduce yourself transparently and I'm quite confident that everything is going to be all right."

The layman did as the pope suggested. His three children have now each gone through the catechetical program and minister as altar servers. And the oldest is preparing to receive first Communion.

Rubera previously spoke about his personal experience with Francis as part of the docuмentary "Francesco," directed by Evgeny Afineevsky and released last year. He says now that the pope's advice offered a "fundamental step" in his family's life.

"It was something that really helped me in coming out of a cul-de-sac," said the Italian.

Although Rubera said he hasn't spoken to Francis since their first phone call, he said he has been able to make sure the pope received a second letter, reporting on his children's progress.

"I'm happy to be sure that he got the news of how our kids are doing," said Rubera. "I'm not expecting he's going to call me again."

  • Mother of mercy, how terrifying!

    I don't even want to be me when I stand before God to be judged for my whole life, but I'd rather be me than be him when it's his turn.

  • What does that mean? Man and husband. It should be Man and Wife. You cannot "Catholicize anyone" living and maintaining
    a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ lifestyle. Francis and the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ movement he promotes is at war with God.

  • Only in the church of the superfluous pope. Folks, it’s time to wake up.
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

  • Those 3 children are being brought up within mortal sin.  They should not be even near any altar. And the Pope condones it. Jesus said go and sin no more. 

    May God bless you and keep you

  • This kind of story is so basic, even protestants, much less Novus Ordo or worldly Trads, can join us in condemning this.

    It's almost too easy.

  • Modernism is a disease of the mind. Pope St. Pius X, as well as +ABL and others saw that some time ago. The disease, if left unchecked, will get worse with time. But at least there's no denying that the Modernists are diseased and dangerous to the Catholic Faith. 
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    ~St. Robert Bellarmine
    De Romano Pontifice, Lib.II, c.29
