Certainly it wasn't being raped as a young, psychologically fragile boy by a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ pedophile priest that caused him to turn "gαy". Of course not.

The Pope got it wrong- he wasn't "born this way", he was 'formed this way".
Who knew that the Consiliar Church's definition of formation of young men would be so radically altered.

Let's say that some people have certain genetic things that incline them to go this way, since unfortunately we're starting to see ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity even among animals who have been exposed to various kinds of chemicals and whatnot.  So is it possible that some people were born with those inclinations ... due to hormonal imbalances.  Yes, it is.  But even then, it's a DISORDER that needs to be treated as such.  Similarly, some people are born with genetic deformities, birth defects, etc. ... this doesn't mean that they're natural and the traits intended by God.

So the problem I have with his statement is the fact that he's saying that God loves him this way.  God loves him DESPITE his disordered/sinful inclinations, just as you would love someone who had birth defects.  But that's where the similarity with birth defects ends ... because if the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖly-inclined man acts out on it, then it's a sin that displeases and offends God.  So too heterosɛҳuąƖs who sin with the opposite sex displease and offend God as well.

So this man on the chair is a bumbling idiot.

A heterosɛҳuąƖ sinful act is grave , and unrepentant, will still buy you hell, but it at least is not against the natural law.
ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is against the natural law and comparing the two is just part of the slippery slope.( I think we are at the bottom of the slope!)

God will not be mocked. God does not create disorder. Francis is guaranteeing himself a special place in Hell. :heretic:

So, when someone is born with a birth defect, let's say that he/she has both male and female genitalia, is that not a disorder?  Where did it come from?  Our fallen nature is subject to disorders.  In fact, our fallen nature IS a disorder.  God did not INTEND for us to struggle with concupiscence or irascibility, but we are born with these anyway.  Similarly, while God did not INTEND that human beings be born with ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ inclinations, that disorder could theoretically happen also without any act of the will.

No qualms here. God does not make evil but fallen nature does allow for aberration. I would be careful to distinguish amongst physical, psychological and moral/spiritual defects.

Oh boy. The Holy Father needs our prayers

Imprecatory prayers!

This is a true Holy Father speaking on sodomy:

That horrible crime, on account of which corrupt and obscene cities were destroyed by fire through divine condemnation, causes us most bitter sorrow and shocks our mind, impelling us to repress such a crime with the greatest possible zeal.

Quite opportunely the Fifth Lateran Council [1512-1517] issued this decree: "Let any member of the clergy caught in that vice against nature, given that the wrath of God falls over the sons of perfidy, be removed from the clerical order or forced to do penance in a monastery" (chap. 4, X, V, 31).

So that the contagion of such a grave offense may not advance with greater audacity by taking advantage of impunity, which is the greatest incitement to sin, and so as to more severely punish the clerics who are guilty of this nefarious crime and who are not frightened by the death of their souls, we determine that they should be handed over to the severity of the secular authority, which enforces civil law.

Therefore, wishing to pursue with greater rigor than we have exerted since the beginning of our pontificate, we establish that any priest or member of the clergy, either secular or regular, who commits such an execrable crime, by force of the present law be deprived of every clerical privilege, of every post, dignity and ecclesiastical benefit, and having been degraded by an ecclesiastical judge, let him be immediately delivered to the secular authority to be put to death, as mandated by law as the fitting punishment for laymen who have sunk into this abyss.
