    Goes back to the fundamental error of Modernism: reality is in the mind. 
    .
    Virginity they're saying is a state of mind, has nothing to do with physical objective fact.

  • Vatican: Consecrated virgins no longer have to be virgins
    By Dorothy cuмmings McLean

    Quote
    The source described the new guidelines as an attack on her order, on marriage, and on the Church itself. She was particularly anguished by a passage stating that a consecrated virgin can be dispensed from her obligations, which means that human marriage and sex remains on the table.
      
    “Consecrated virgins are living embodiments of the Church,” she said. “To be a consecrated virgin means to be a bride of Christ. This is the only vocation that claims to have an indissoluble nuptial bond with Christ. Now we are saying that Christ can have a divorce.”

    Why even have "consecrated virgins" if virginity is not a pre-requisite and if a woman can apply to withdraw her vows and leave the state of consecrated virginity?

    I think this signals the destruction of consecrated virginity within Catholicism. Yet, isn't this to be expected of the New Vatican II Church?

    Lord have mercy on us and save us.
    Lord have mercy.

  • The filthy spirit of Asmodeus is all around us.

    Jesus, come soon.
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

  • Surely it is an absolute fundamental that a Consecrated Virgin MUST be a virgin !

    I don't see why, at least in the Conciliar sect.  After all, their canonized saints don't have to be holy...

  • No shock here. The spirit of Vatican II won't stop until they have made an about-face on EVERYTHING.

    Nor the pope Catholic....

    See, in the absence of objective reality, every individual and collective delusion become possible. Such is the case in a collapsing society led by freemasons, whose god is the Devil.
