CNN Pope Don Lemon informs the Catholic Church that "God is not about judging people"

Image
CNN is clown town -His Holiness Pope Lemon the First has a proclamation for all the faithful:   Almighty God has no interest in judging people. "The Catholic Church and many other churches really need to reexamine themselves and their teachings, because that is not what God is about," said his Grace. "God is not about hindering people or even judging people." He went on to say that we should interact with people who are different from ourselves.  Oh, and that we need to do what the Bible and Jesus "actually" say, which is to never judge anyone or anything! "Instead of having the Church hinder you... go out and have a barbecue and meet people and start breaking bread with people and getting to know them," concluded Lemon, who is  totally  known for his welcoming stance toward everyone, especially conservatives. His Eminence has spoken! He who dwells in unapproachable light apparently doesn't care what we do, say, or believe!  All people can re...

Pastor promotes gay Jesus

Image
In sending out a tweet about the Gospel reading from Friday’s Mass, Fr. James Martin, SJ chose to share a painting drawn from a series of blasphemous homoerotic works depicting the life of Jesus as if he were a gay man. “Gospel: Today Jesus drives the money-changers from the Temple (Lk 19). NT scholars say this was one of the main events that precipitated his execution,” tweeted the Jesuit. “Yet Jesus is not cowed by opponents. Another Gospel says ‘zeal’ for his Father's house ‘consumes him.’”  And Fr. Martin knew exactly what he was doing because in a later tweet he credited the artist: “Image, Douglas Blanchard.” While this painting is jarring because an effeminate Jesus is depicted turning over the money changers’ tables in a contemporary setting, other paintings in the series show an overtly sexualized version of Jesus in various Gospel stories.   The painting is one of a set of 24 by homosexual artist Douglas Blanchard, used to illustrate a book titled, “T...

Lesbian prof: Church teaching makes Catholic schools ‘hotbeds of homophobia' or truth?

Image
A lesbian and former Catholic school teacher have written a book claiming Alberta and Ontario’s publicly funded Catholic schools are “potential hotbeds for homophobia,” for which she appears to argue Catholic teaching is to blame. Tonya Callaghan quit teaching in a Catholic school, where she allegedly suffered “homophobia” daily after a homosexual student committed suicide. In an article for The Conversation, Callaghan attributed that to homophobic bullying the standard LGBT response.  She then devoted herself to the research of “homophobia and transphobia” in Catholic schools, and “also to begin to question and understand how these phobias are institutionalized.” Callaghan — now a University of Calgary assistant professor of education — discovered the problem is Catholic teaching on homosexuality. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. But the LGBT people call it the Bible full of hate and even is full of hate, homophobia - make your opponent ugly don't talk don't dis...

Why Catholic leaders must speak about dangers of homosexuality

Image
The Church’s position on homosexuality should definitely be that of mercy and pastoral care. But true mercy and pastoral care based on the loving concern for the wellbeing of those experiencing same-sex attraction. It is not loved or mercy to allow your children to rampantly misbehave without correcting them.  Parents will admit that it is often easier to turn the other way and purposely fail to notice misbehavior.  But out of love and mercy, parents must correct and discipline their children for the good of the children themselves. So too the Church, especially Her shepherds – the fathers of souls – must feed the flock, must teach the truths however difficult and politically incorrect.  That is true mercy and pastoral care. Silence on the hard truths of homosexuality was specifically warned against by the Vatican. Pope Emeritus Benedict, while he headed up the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, made a public statement directed to the Bishops of the ...

Cardinal: Vatican needs to ‘face the problem of homosexuality in some clergy and religious’

Image
A Venezuelan cardinal has correctly underscored that homosexuality is the main “problem” that should be discussed in this week’s Vatican summit on clerical sexual misconduct with minors. In a statement released to the  National Catholic Register , Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, the Archbishop of Caracas, stated that 80 percent of abuse victims were male.  “ ... It is important to address also the problem of the sexual abuse itself, which is a sinful transgression of God’s law, and a failure to observe and to live the virtue of chastity consecrated to Our Lord, broken by immoral and criminal sexual activity,” the cardinal wrote.   “It is necessary also to face the problem of homosexuality in most clergy and religious, as many studies show that about 80 percent of the abuse has affected male minors,” he continued. “The large number of accusations of sexual abuse also indicates a decline or fall in necessary high standards of moral life in those individuals in both...

Pope’s biographer: ‘Why do you say that our Lord did not have homosexual tendencies?’

Image
Austen Ivereigh, has been the Director of Public Affairs for the late Cardinal Murphy O’Connor, was a founder of the Catholic media organization “Catholic Voices,” and has written a biography of Pope Francis: he is what you might call a “professional Catholic.” Discussing the latest claims about priests working in the Vatican who are homosexual, Ivereigh suggests: The issue, as the priests make clear, isn’t celibacy and chastity, but having to hide who they are. The denial makes it impossible to live the vow in freedom. That’s what they’re saying. This is a convenient argument for someone who wants to say that the Church has made homosexuality into a problem by her negative teachings about it. Get rid of the teachings, and you’d get rid of the problem! A Twitter user replied, in Spanish (this is the Google translation): They must serve God and his people without the entanglement of manifesting or hiding a hidden tendency. The priests, I believe, must be hetero...

Mexico’s wins initial victory against transgenderism

Image
Pro-natural marriage made a stand against the government’s effort to amend Mexico’s constitution and same-sex “marriage.” Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, who leads Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies, introduced a bill last week to reform the constitution that would not only legalize abortion throughout the largely Catholic nation but also permit same-sex “marriage” and euthanasia and also legalize narcotics. The Morena party is currently in the majority in Mexico’s bicameral Congress, over which Muñoz Ledo currently presides. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had not been vocal about abortion and transgenderism during his presidential campaign last year, even while members of his Morena party have long signaled their support for that agenda. Due to an online pro-life campaign, the debate over the constitutional reform was tabled by two congressional committees. According to ACI Prensa, Rodrigo Iván Cortés of Mexico’s National Front for the Family described Muñoz Ledo’s legislative proposal as ...

Former seminarian who was unchaste calls on Church to uphold teachings against homosexuality

Image
Dr. Markus Büning, a German lawyer, theologian and book author, has published a very personal account of his own past as a homosexually active seminarian. He did so in order to show how true happiness can only be found in following God's moral law. At the same time, Büning calls upon the German bishops to repent for their lax moral teaching. Dr. Büning's personal witness was first published on 18 October on the German Christliches Forum  website  and the next day it was picked up by  Katholisches.info . As the author writes, the reason for this witness “is the increasingly bold perfidy that questions the Church's sexual morality in its foundations, especially concerning the moral-theological assessment of homosexual acts as grave sin.” As an example, the German theologian refers to a recent document published by the German bishops in response to the sex abuse crisis. Cardinal Reinhard Marx stated that “there should be no taboo topics” when dealing with sex abuse. Th...
