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:
