Francis, "We Have To Create Civil Unions For ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs"

(https://seed-image.gloria.tv/anna/c/an3e8elv7dly4bwlbukcl8pcny7wdke16b77uv3.jpg)

“What we have to create is a civil union law," Francis says in a docuмentary entitled “Francesco” which premiered in Rome on October 21, CatholicNewsAgency.com writes.

“I stood up for that,” he added claiming that practicing ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs are “children of God” and have a "right” to a "family."

Francis' statements oppose Catholic teaching and common sense.

In March 2003, Cardinal Ratzinger published Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Between ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ Persons. The docuмent does “not contain new doctrinal elements” but provide “arguments drawn from reason”.

It stresses that there are “absolutely no grounds” for considering ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ unions to be in any way analogous to God's plan for marriage and family, “Marriage is holy, while ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ acts go against the natural moral law.”

Where ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs have been given rights belonging to marriage, “clear and emphatic opposition is a duty,” the docuмent concludes.

I wonder what level of culpability the silent hierarchy shares for their grave failure to declare his heresy and deposition?

Why blame them for not doing something which you yourself are unwilling to do?  In fact, you never fail to condemn those in the hierarchy who have declared the see vacant.  With maybe the soul exception of Bishop de Castro Mayer.  But that may be either because you deny he was a sede or you give him a pass because he was friends with Archbishop Lefebvre.

It's hard for them to do when they themselves are 99% heretical and deposed also.  I bet that you have maybe a dozen bishops throughout the world who would find Bergoglio's promotion of sodomy to be heretical.  We only had, what, FOUR of them, who had the courage to put their name to the critique of Amoris Laetitia.

The Dictionary of Dogmatic Theology by Parente under the definition of "hierarchy" says the following, "Those members of the Church who belong to the twofold hierarchy are called clerics".  So every Catholic cleric is a member of the ecclesiastical hierarchy.  Not to be confused with the Teaching Body which only includes those bishops who possess an office with ordinary jurisdiction.

Sean, you have serious reading comprehension problems.  Not to mention a mental block when it comes to sede vacantism.  ALL Catholic theologians without exception agree with the dogma that under no circuмstances whatsoever may anyone judge the pope.  No layman, no priest, no bishop and no cardinal has the authority to judge and depose a pope.  So when you ask the question, "You want me to personally depose the pope?", you are implying that only a member of the hierarchy could depose the pope (or a group of members of the hierarchy).  But that is false.  They can't depose the pope either.  But in your previous post you asked why the hierarchy hadn't deposed the pope for heresy.  The answer is that they can't depose the pope.  You also asked why they hadn't declared him to be a manifest heretic.  Well a declaration like that isn't a juridical act so anyone can do that.  It doesn't matter if you are a cardinal, a priest or a layman, a declaration that a man is a manifest heretic has no juridical force whatsoever.  But the manifest heresy itself has the effect of deposing a man from membership in the Catholic Church along with the loss of any and all ecclesiastical offices he might possess.  Either the man really is a manifest heretic or he isn't.  If he isn't a heretic then it doesn't matter what anyone declares (whether they be a cardinal or a layman makes no difference) because the man is still the pope.  But if he is a manifest heretic then likewise it doesn't matter what anyone declares, the man is NOT THE POPE.  So you won't make a declaration but you are faulting the hierarchy for not making a declaration.  Meanwhile, many members of the hierarchy actually did declare him a heretic but you condemn and mock them for doing so.  I guess they weren't the right members of the hierarchy for you.  But that just makes you intellectually inconsistent (some would say dishonest).  There is no doubt in my mind that if Vigano declared George Bergoglio to be a manifest heretic you would drop him like a hot potato.

I would go a step further.  If a Pope could do what Bergoglio does, then the Catholic Church is better off without a Pope.  We could tell Our Lord, "You want to give us a Pope?  Thanks, but no thanks.  We'll take our chances on our own."

Either the man really is a manifest heretic or he isn't.

I don't even really care about Bergoglio that much.  Either the Conciliar Church is the Catholic Church or it is not.  To claim that this abomination is the Catholic Church raises the same ire in me as someone who might call my mother a whore.  That's really what this Conciliar Church is, the prophesied Whore of Babylon.

I agree.  But the Catholic Church still exists.  Its members consist of all those clergy and laity who continue to adhere to the Church's doctrines as taught by Our Lord to the Apostles and passed faithfully down through the centuries.  I would argue that by that standard, a substantial part of the hierarchy has already declared the Holy See vacant.

I don’t see how his being pope or not, impacts the damage he is doing.  Those who follow his heretical teachings, are not Catholic.  Anything he teaches that is against the Faith, is not binding.  So the damage he is doing, ends up being the same, whether he holds the Keys or not.  He certainly is confusing a lot of people, but how does his being pope or not, change the amount that he confuses?  The Church does not change.  The Faith does not change.  The illusion of change that he creates, vanishes into nothing, as he has no authority to change the Faith, whether he was validly elected or not.

The Catholic Church has been performing And recognizing gαy marriages in their churches for years. The movie was released to celebrate gαy history month and to serve as a distraction from Biden. Also, it helped to further persecute Amy Coney Barrett.  This Poop hates President Trump.  
He also is for gαy children when all children are to be virgins. The next step is to legalize adult sex with children so the pedophiles  can avoid prison and losing their precious money.

......and diminishes the extent to which God's justice applies.  

The severity of God's judgment is devestatingly more frightening than if he is not at least considered to be the Pope.  The fact is that the world accepts him as Pope so he will have to answer for something even more than one can imagine surely.   If the world accepts him as Pope  then citizens believe he is acting as Christ's spokesman.  Thus all men can sin to their heart's content because Our Lord wants them to sin.   (Words said by this Pope but now removed entirely from public viewing).


Result:  The whole world is now a Sodom and Gomorrah.

And here's the crux of the issue. If the heretical pope won't defrock heretical bishops, and the heretical bishops won't acknowledge the heresies of the pope, then how is the heresy ever stopped?

For the last 60 years, it seems like the answer is: "It can't be."

Of course, sedes face a similar issue regarding how we can possibly elect a pope.

The Crisis can only be resolved miraculously, IMO.

What does this sentence mean?

To tell the truth, when I got this news today, I had a sede vacante moment.  But, as I have done so many times before, I talked myself out of it.  "He was speaking as a private theologian"... "this does not constitute Church teaching"... "he is only advocating civil unions, not the sodomy that goes on in those households"... and so on.

Never in a thousand million years would any pope prior to John XXIII have spoken so recklessly.  Does not the man realize the only thing the world is going to hear is --- "the Catholic Church is okay with gαy people living together as committed couples".

Even if a pope is only teaching as a private theologian, he cannot be a heretic.  If he is a manifest heretic, he is not a member of the Catholic Church and therefore he is not the pope, period.

It's getting comical now.  It's a game.  How bad can it get before you finally realize he isn't Catholic?  Does he have to sacrifice a child on live television?  What does it take?

I think a lot of people think he is a heretic, but that he has to be judged so by the Church. Not that it will ever happen, but there has to be a process. Either God will never allow a Pope to be a heretic, or if it happens, something has to be done about it by the Church. If you think he is not the pope, then PRODUCE A POPE. Elect one, or recognize one of the dozen or so who have been elected by other sedes, and no matter what course has been decided on, get off your high horse.

The Church is supposed to be a monarchy with a distinct hierarchy. The sedes have none of that. They have an invisible Church with a few dozen priests, independent, scattered, with no hierarchy, like protestantism. Support Pope Michael.

God already said that He will never allow a Pope to be a heretic when he founded His Church on St. Peter and declared that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.  And again when he prayed that St. Peter's faith will not fail.  St Robert Bellarmine confirms this and even stated that his own position was that God would never allow a pope to FALL FROM THE FAITH.  I also believe that is the case.  None of the V2 popes (J23 and beyond) were elected legitimately.  So they were never for one moment true popes.  And no true pope has ever fallen from the faith.  St Robert refuted those who claimed that Liberius and Honorius had fallen into heresy.  George Bergoglio isn't even a priest, never mind a pope.

We have no substantial records of any of the popes before the nineteenth century so your statement that no true pope had ever fallen from the faith is just something you want to believe. How was John XXIII not elected legitimately? He was accepted by the whole Church. There were not any sedes until Paul VI. Are you a Siri thesis trad?

All the sede priests and bishops are mere laymen with orders. They have no more authority than I would if I got myself ordained and consecrated by Ambrose Moran.

 The Church does not change.  The Faith does not change. 
The reason the Church and Faith can never be substantially altered as Christ founded it is because of the divine promises given to the Pope. 

Quote
Mother Church, Catholic, Roman, which has remained faithful to the constitution received from her Divine Founder, which still stands firm today on the solidity of the rock on which his will erected her, possesses in the primacy of Peter and of his legitimate successors the assurance, guaranteed by the divine promises, of keeping and transmitting inviolate and in all its integrity through centuries and millennia to the very end of time, the entire sum of truth and grace contained in the redemptive mission of Christ.

Never in a thousand million years would any pope prior to John XXIII have spoken so recklessly.  Does not the man realize the only thing the world is going to hear is --- "the Catholic Church is okay with gαy people living together as committed couples".
Yes, of course he realizes it.  That’s exactly what he and his rainbow buddies want.  Why would he say the things he does, allow the foulest of sacrileges on the the altar, fail to punish evil-doers, and persecute the few who dare to speak out?  
We must get it through our skulls that Francis is our enemy.  Pope or not, he speaks and acts as Satan, not as Our Lord.

In the final analysis, numerically speaking, no Catholic cares what Bergolio of any pope says anymore, for 99% of Catholics do not live the faith, they are just cultural Catholics, Catholics in name only. I look at the "serious" Catholics, at my SSPX Chapel that represent the 1% of "serious" Catholics, and I see that maybe about 10% of them live the faith, if that much. The real traditionalists in my chapel are dead now, or have left and gone sedevacantes.

I don’t see how his being pope or not, impacts the damage he is doing.  Those who follow his heretical teachings, are not Catholic.  Anything he teaches that is against the Faith, is not binding.  So the damage he is doing, ends up being the same, whether he holds the Keys or not.  He certainly is confusing a lot of people, but how does his being pope or not, change the amount that he confuses?  The Church does not change.  The Faith does not change.  The illusion of change that he creates, vanishes into nothing, as he has no authority to change the Faith, whether he was validly elected or not.
The whole world, with the exception of a very few faithful, do not believe this. The false teachings of some theologians from the last few centuries have convinced nearly the whole Catholic world that it is a teaching of the Church that the pope is always infallible. Today, most people maintain that idea and escalate it to mean that the pope is supposedly something almost celestial, something more than a man who is incapable of ever doing what all men are capable of doing.

So this abomination merely adds fuel to the fire in that it gives the queers and their sympathizers a major moral authority they can point to, now they can say that even the pope approves of their abomination.

As a child I was told many times things will get worse before they get better, I am quite sure that back then, no one would have ever thought we'd see this.......and I still believe things will get even worse before they get better.  

This is all happening for our purification, we are expected to maintain the faith through this - as well as whatever else is to come.

So apparently pope fαɢɢօt is in direct conflict with Catholic teaching on fαɢɢօtry. The Church teaches that fαɢɢօtry is sin and if indeed fαɢs are intrinsically disordered they're supposed to be chaste. But not pope fαɢɢօt, he wants them to "marry" (ie civil union), so as to really set them up and tempt them into perpetual mortal sin, which apparently  pope fαɢɢօt doesn't PERSONALLY believe is a SIN at all. See, none of the doctrines or dogma or magesterium Church teaching matters at all, not even the saints or the Church Fathers, they're ALL intolerant, uneducated idiots, it's what pope fag FEELS that day.Nothing else matters, not the church, not the bible, heck, not even Our Lord Himself....Just pope fag while he dotes about fagging quite faggily. and he's quite good at it. He's had a lot of practice.


So what are we to do? We're stuck with a fag in the vatican, one who openly gives the finger to God.

I'm waiting for that whole " Gates of hell shall not prevail" thing.

The claim that there is no hierarchy is false.  Bishops and priests without jurisdiction are still members of the hierarchy.

It's similar to how theologians describe normal sedevacantist periods.  They say that during that time Our Lord supplies jurisdiction to the Church directly, vs. through an actual living pope.  That is why priests continue to validly hear Confessions and Bishops continue to appoint pastors, etc. ... all legitimately during a sedevacantist period.  In fact, there's precedent for bishops being consecrated and installed during sedevacantist periods.

If I remember correctly, clerics do not receive the benefit of the doubt as to being ignorant in cases of heresy. They are presumed guilty because they are presumed to know what the Church teaches. I will try to find this reference later.

One might make the case he went to a Modernist seminary, so he really didn’t learn Catholicism. But he grew up in a Catholic family pre-Vatican II, and he is claiming to be the Pope of the Catholic Church, so I don’t think there is any wiggle room for people to claim he is ignorant.

Also, he is constantly bashing traditionalism and traditionalists, which shows he does know what the Church teaches, but denies it any way. The fact that he says “I might be saying something heretical, but” and continues any way shows this man is of incredibly bad will.

And the question of a heretical Pope deals with manifest vs. occult heresy.

I think making the argument as to Bergoglio’s illegitimacy from the doctrines of indefectibility and infallibility of the Church is much easier and straight forward, as Ladislaus has repeated. This is Bishop Sanborn’s approach as opposed to trying to prove the manifest heresy argument.

If the the post Vatican II establishment is the Catholic Church, then it has defected.

Valid ordination of consecration doesn't make someone a member of the hierarchy.   The members of the hierarchy are those who possess the authority to teach, govern and sanctify in Christ's name.  That requires jurisdiction which is received by canonical mission.

Christ does not supply jurisdiction directly to priest and bishops during a sedevacante period.  When the Pope dies the bishops retain their ordination jurisdiction, and therefore the priests under them retain their delegated jurisdiction.  That's why bishops can continue to appoint pastors and why the confessions of the priests subject to them remain valid.

The precedent for bishops being consecrated and installed during a sedevacante period is from the time when a papal mandate was not required for episcopal consecration.  It was legal then, it is not legal now. You can't appeal to an act that was legal at the time as a precedent to justify violating what the present law forbids.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.  Did you even look up the definition of the word?

From Dictionary of Dogmatic Theology by Pietro Parente:

hierarchy

The body of persons participating in ecclesiastical power, which is divided into power of orders and power of jurisdiction.

The power of orders is immediately directed to the sanctification of souls through the offering of the sacrifice of the Mass and the administration of the sacraments.  The power of jurisdiction, on the other hand, is immediately directed to ruling the faithful with reference to the attainment of life eternal, and is actuated through the authoritative teaching of revealed truths (sacred magisterium), and through the promulgation of laws (legislative power), together with the authoritative decision of legal actions involving its subjects (judicial power), and the application of penal sanctions against transgressors of the law (coactive or coercive power).  These last three powers are functions of the same sacred jurisdictional authority with which the Church is endowed as a perfect society.

The power of jurisdiction is divided into: (1) power of forum externum, when directed principally to the common good, in so far as it regulates the social relations of the members and produces public juridical effects; and power of forum internum, when directed principally to private good, in so far as it regulates the relations of consciences with God and is exercised per se secretly and with prevalently moral effects; (2) ordinary power, when ipso jure (by law) it is connected with an office, and delegated power, when it is granted to a person by commission or delegation.  Ordinary power is further divided into proper, i.e., annexed to an office and exercised in one's own name (nomine proprio), and vicarious, i.e. annexed to an office but exercised in another's name.

Since sacred power is twofold, hierarchy is likewise twofold, and therefore we have in the Church the hierarchy of orders, constituted by the body of persons having the power of orders in its different grades (see orders, holy), and the hierarchy of jurisdiction, consisting in the series of those persons who have the power of teaching and governing.

In both hierarchies there are grades, i.e., the fundamental grades, which have their source in divine right (episcopate, priesthood, and diaconate in the hierarchy of orders; papacy and episcopate in the hierarchy of jurisdiction) and the secondary grades, which have been instituted by the Church.

The two hierarchies, although very closely related, are really distinct.  They are distinct in their mode of origin (orders are conferred by the appropriate sacrament, while jurisdiction originates through canonical mission) and in their properties (the valid use of orders, in most cases, cannot be prevented, while jurisdiction is revocable).  They are, however, mutually related, because jurisdiction supposes orders and, vice versa, the exercise of orders is moderated by jurisdiction; and also because both come from God and directly or indirectly lead to God.

Those members of the Church who belong to the twofold hierarchy are called clerics, while all the others are called laics, laymen, laity.  Since in its bosom the Church carries superiors and subjects, really distinct by divine right, it is an unequal society, i.e., a society in which the members do not have equal rights and duties.

In all due respect, no duh cardinal. I means really, I need a Vatican prelate to tell me to believe God over what some faggy "pope" says about guys sleeping together and it's "really cool", well maybe, just maybe, it might  just not be what God wants (or says). I really need to be told to choose the Word of the  Lord our God over the the word of frankie the fag enabler. this is really pathetic.But this is what happens when you clearly have a manifest heretic in the Chair  of Peter and everyone acts like everything's normal and the pope is just a little too 'liberal" and social justice warrior. But hey man, he's the boss, whatever he says goes. Even when it comes to making up his own doctrines and contradicting Sacred Scripture.

But hey, he's "pope", he can't possibly be wrong or questioned. even when it's NOT ex cathedra.

Exactly.  Formal heretic is a canon law term, by way of a legal process.  As much as we all want such legal process to happen, until it does, we laymen can do nothing about it.  The Church is not a democracy.  Yelling and screaming doesn't change a thing.  Only prayer can make changes.

History records the account of St. Athanasius' prayers concerning Arius.  The below is taken from one account of same seen at https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/why-did-arius-die-such-a-death-12255

Having but eight days left, the distraught patriarch from an urge of hope within him knew what to do. He started a campaign of prayer in the cathedral. Day after day he and his parishioners prayed together there, day after day they fasted in their homes, in their appeal to a higher court. On the day before the dreaded date, at three in the afternoon the patriarch threw himself prostate on the sanctuary floor to offer his Eucharistic Lord a final petition. The attendants around saintly old Alexander heard his words distinctly.

This in brief and in essence was the petition: "Jesus my Savior and my God, if Arius communicates here tomorrow, first take your servant out of the world, I implore. But if you care for your Church, as I know you do, take Arius away."3

On that same Saturday, in the evening, Arius with a noisy following came marching through the streets of Constantinople, all of them defiantly merry in anticipation of his forced entrance to the cathedral sanctuary tomorrow, the Lord's day. They held a rally at Constantine Square, where of a sudden Arius felt ill, excused himself and went off alone. The others, suspecting nothing serious, took for granted he would soon return. He did not.

They found his body lying dead, its underbelly split open and the entrails scattered about. The body lay unattended on the ground floor of a building. The building became a metropolitan curiosity, Socrates relates. Passersby would point to it and lower their voices to speak awesomely of the death. Perhaps they were remembering that another, whom no knife touched, "burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out" (Acts 1:18).

A ”formal “ declaration is not necessary. See the interesting quote from the Catholic University of America dissertation (i.e. pre-Vatican II manual)  “Renunciation of an Ecclesiastical Office” (1946)
by Fr. Gerald V. McDevitt S.T.I.,  J.C.L , p. 136.

Quote
Since it is not only incongruous that one who has publicly defected from the faith should remain in an ecclesiastical office; but since such a condition might also be the source of serious spiritual harm when the care of souls is concerned, the Code prescribes that a cleric tacitly renounces his office by public defection from the faith. Prior to the Code the law imposed a privation of office and benefice on a cleric for such a crime. This penalty was certainly imposed upon those clerics who were publicly guilty of heresy and of apostasy, but because of two apparently contradictory laws it was disputed whether the penalty applied also to those who were publicly guilty of schism. The present law attaches a tacit renunciation instead of a privation of office to a public defection from the faith. Since canon 188, n. 4, uses a general terminology, it is necessary to determine the meaning of a defection from the faith and also to determine the extent of publicity that is required if the act of defection is to become the basis for a tacit renunciation of office.

A cleric tacitly renounces his office which means that there is no ”formal” judgement necessary -according to the code.

This is false.  Formal heresy is not determined by a conviction in an ecclesiastical court.

From Canon Law (A Text and Commentary) by Bouscaren and Ellis (p. 898):

"Apostasy, Heresy, Schism.  All apostates from the Christian faith, and all heretics and schismatics: (1) are ipso facto excommunicated;  (2) if after due warning they fail to amend, they are to be deprived of any benefice, dignity, pension, office, or other position which they may have in the Church, they are to be declared infamous, and clerics after a repetition of the warning are to be deposed; (3) if they have joined a non-Catholic sect or publicly adhered to it, they are ipso facto infamous, and clerics, in addition to being considered to have tacitly renounced any office they may hold, according to canon 188.4, are, if previous warning proves fruitless, to be degraded (c. 2314, S 1)."

Ibid, p. 938:

"c. Pertinaciter (in definition of heretic) does not imply duration, nor violence; it simply means setting up one's own mind against the known mind of the Church.  The denial must be externally manifested, and formal, i.e., subjectively a grave sin."

As you can see, a trial is not necessary to establish formal heresy.  In fact, manifest heresy implies formal heresy.  It is impossible for a manifest heretic to not at the same time be a formal heretic.  And all manifest heretic means is that the person has made his opposition to some doctrine of the Catholic faith sufficiently known to others so that there can be no reasonable doubt that the crime has been committed.

Manifest heresy isn't like other crimes such as stealing or murder.  You could possibly conceal a theft.  But you can't conceal manifest heresy.  By definition it is a public act.  It is possible that many people don't recognize it as a crime.  But that doesn't have any effect on the objective fact that the crime did occur.  A heretic isn't excused if everyone agrees with him or worse (in my opinion) simply denies that there is any punishment due for such a crime.

Due to pope fag's encouragement of fαɢs to dwell together and have fag sex, many catholics who struggle with "SSA" are now struggling with living a chaste life. pope fag has no idea the misery he is causing on these and many other individuals who are now questioning their faith or at least staying within the confines of a "church" whose very head is pushing mortal sins like adultery, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, blasphemy and idolatry The fag pope is clearly on a mission to destroy the RCC as we know it;

Cardinal Muller joins the party: https://www.infocatolica.com/?t=opinion&cod=38933 



Cardinal Gerhard Müller - 10/23/20 12:03 PM

I don't know the exact wording of the ambiguous interview statement. But the effect is fatal.

The Catholic faithful are irritated, the enemies of the Church feel confirmed by the Vicar of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose filiation in God they reject. Instead of using theological and philosophical arguments of reason, they appeal to feelings, thus proving the rationality of faith with sentimentalism.

But faith does not depend on a political option in the spectrum of right or left or on an ideological position between conservatism or progressivism, but only on the truth that God himself is in his essence 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 the successors of Peter and the other apostles.

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

When tensions arise between the obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand and the private expressions of opinion even of the highest ecclesiastical authorities', the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO.

The Magisterium serves the Word of God and is never above Revelation. That is, in any case, the valid teaching of the Church on the relationship of God's revelation in Christ to the teaching authority subordinate to it.

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

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

What is ecclesiastical openness or the freedom of a Christian man? Between the Pope and the bishops, especially the cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, there exists the same analogous relationship as between Peter and the other apostles. Paul confronted Peter because he had deviated from the "truth of the Gospel" (Galatians 2:14) through ambiguous behavior and speech. Hieronymus, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, in their interpretation of the Letter to the Galatians, side with Paul as to its content and praise Peter for his humility in allowing himself to be rebuked by him.

In the Catholic Church - with reference to the complementarity of the sexes, marriage and the family - the Word of God is valid in its definitive interpretation in the person and mission of Christ his Son, in relation to the Pharisees and then and now: "Have you not heard that the Creator created them male and female in the beginning? Therefore shall a man leave father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. ( Matthew 19:4 ).

There is no right to marriage and family unless a man and a woman, according to their nature created by God, freely say to each other in conscience and in the eyes of God: Only you and forever - until death do us part. Outside of legitimate marriage, according to God's will, every sɛҳuąƖ union is objectively a grave sin, regardless of the subjective guilt that only God knows and to whose forgiveness we can entrust ourselves always and at all times.

But we must not sin frivolously because of God's mercy, and instead of allowing ourselves to be justified by his merciful judgment, we must not see ourselves confirmed in a sinful act by the applause of de-Christianized contemporaries.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church makes a clear distinction between pastoral care and personal attention to persons with same-sex tendencies and the objective evaluation of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ or even heterosɛҳuąƖ acts outside of marriage that are contrary to God's command. "He who says he abides in him must also lead a life as he has led it. (1 John 2:6).

Keeping God's commandments is an expression of love for Him and recognition of their healing effect on man. Instead of meeting people who feel confirmed by him in their wrong attitude and thinking and who show themselves to the world with an image of the Pope, the Pope should study the book of Daniel Mattson and invite him into a conversation. He is an American who has found his way out of the unworthiness of sɛҳuąƖ promiscuity into a life of abstinence in "the freedom and glory of the children of God" (Romans 8:21).
