No matter what some weak clerics try to infer, Judgment Day will come for us all - and there is a Purgatory!

  • As per the confusing words of the Holy Father (National Catholic Register, 10/21/2020): “Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it....What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered....I stood up for that.” 
    • As per the even more confusing "explanation" by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (10/22/2020): "the references involved civil unions. The Holy Father has consistently affirmed the sacrament of marriage as a union between one man and one woman on many occasions just as he has affirmed the need to treat all people with respect and dignity. The recent comments underscore the Holy Father’s previous calls for pastoral and cultural sensitivity to the many different journeys of those who walk through life around us." 
      • With all due respect, this Holy Father and Archbishop Perez seem to be theologically illinformed.  As authored by Francis' immediate predecessor and approved by St Pope John Paul II in 2003: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself.
        • As per the Catechism's proclamation of the Church's unchanging and untiring teaching:
          • Back in 1930, Pope Pius XI ( 1930) could probably not have even envisioned the assaults on marriage that were to come or the "Clericalism" that would fail to appreciate and defend marriage/family:

Holy Father, we need you to DEFEND marriage/family!

30TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, 10/25/2020

  • Today's National Catholic Register quotes Pope Francis: “Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it."  Of course not!  Unfortunately Francis seemed to use that for a straw dog argument, seemingly overlooking the importance of marriage for protecting children's rights to their mother and father: 
    As per the Catechism:

    Probably not even envisioning the assaults on marriage that we have seen, any earlier Holy Father said this: "If any confessor or pastor of souls, which may God forbid, lead the faithful entrusted to him into these errors or should at least confirm them by approval or by guilty silence, let him be mindful of the fact that he must render a strict account to God, the Supreme Judge, for the betrayal of his sacred trust" (Pope Pius XI, 1930).  "Clericalism" that fails to appreciate marriage/family is seen to be alive and well, as the "usual suspects" are thrilled by Francis' confusing words:

  • Sorry Archbishop Perez, but Pa Catholic Conference materials (12) fail to speak with clarity on the preeminence of the sanctity of human life, the sanctity of marriage, and religious freedom.
    • Some may argue that Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick comes closer to Catholic teaching than challenger Christine Finello.  If that be the case, it is incumbent on those making that argument to DEMAND MUCH BETTER from him. (cf, 7/7/2020)

          While Dr Taylor Marshall is repetitive and long winded, he rightfully asks how this demonic behavior could have possibly have happened in the House of God (cf, 10/11/2020).

          • "Details have emerged about the priest, who is expected to face criminal and canonical charges after the episode. Those who know the priest say he kept to himself, while a seminary professor said Fr. Clark was a poor student who made little effort, which should have been a red flag" (National Catholic Register, 10/13/2020)
