How wonderful it is to see the scum bubble to the surface of the pond. Many, many messages of our Lady state this was going to happen. They are "OUTING THEMSELVES"!! THANK YOU GOD for giving us eyes to see the jackles of the church. Please heal them, help them to repent and come back to the true faith.
The one huge light in the Darkness in these past Darkness is our Christian Sisters and Brothers who have defended us against the Culture of Death. Holy women and men who dedicated themselves to protecting the unborn from the abortion mills which sought and still seek to murder the unborn babies in the sanctum of their mother womb. It has been one of the great signs of our times , but should come as no surprise to the Spiritually clear sighted that God has gifted these holy folk with the grace of clear sightedness to see through the swirling mists and confusion of the lies and half truths of the Judases that have crept into positions of great power in our Holy Mother Church. But what an abomination it is to find our fellow Catholics slander and attack those who , chosen by God have been annointed by him to defend firstly the unborn and now , in this the Great Crisis the Church has ever faced, to attack the very people , those new saints we should most closely support ; those who take a stand for Life and for Truth. In this they join the ranks of the Satanic enemies of the Faith like Planned Parenthood in attacking those whom the should most admire, emulate and pray for; these warriors for the unborn. Like these enemies, Planned Parenthood, they risk their very souls in supporting a huge lie. Is it not enough that Planned Parenthood attack these Holy People? Should we join them in their slanders? Would it not make us uneasy at joining our voices to theirs?
If you open your doors to wolves, why would you then be surprised when packs of wolves stroll in? The Vatican has not only opened the doors to these wolves they have handed them the house keys.
The reason why Bishops are handed the crozier is to remind them that they are shepherds and as such their first duty is like shepherds to wield thier shepherds staff to defend the flock from wolves. Their first duty At the start of this Pontificate we had many wolves in the sheepfold, now we have countless thousands of them to such an extent that the sheep are milling round in huge distress totally lost and confused, being butchered en mass. This is no accident because the worse wolves are the shepherds. The wolves are running the sheepfold. So you say that Jesus let Judas in therefore the Church should let Judas's in ? Pardon me; have you lost the use of your reason?
Nooo.I'm saying there has always been Judas'. You'd better start lining up St. John Paul II in the same line as Francis if you are going down this path. He brought in BERTONE, LAW,MAHONEY, BERNADINE, HUNTHAUSEN... along with soo many others including the scoundrels in your own country. How about the freemasons during the reign of Pope Leo XVI II ? Pius X?? Lots of Judas's there!! How God managed without our input, I will never know! Lol
Homosexual unions with sexual activity is just sin of grave matter!! How come God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Because it is a sin that cries to heaven for vengenance! St Peter Damian Without fail, it brings death to the body and destruction to the soul. It pollutes the flesh, extinguishes the light of the mind, expels the Holy Spirit from the temple of the human heart, and gives entrance to the devil, the stimulator of lust. It leads to error, totally removes truth from the deluded mind … It opens up hell and closes the gates of paradise … It is this vice that violates temperance, slays modesty, strangles chastity, and slaughters virginity … It defiles all things, sullies all things, pollutes all things … “This vice excludes a man from the assembled choir of the Church … it separates the soul from God to associate it with demons…. Unmindful of God, he also forgets his own identity. This disease erodes the foundation of faith, saps the vitality of hope, dissolves the bond of love. It makes way with justice, demolishes fortitude, removes temperance, and blunts the edge of prudence.
We can certainly have an opinion on which sin God views as 'worse' although I suspect He doesn't view things that way. I suspect God views all sin in a similar way. I know from your posts, garabandal, that you have a particular horror of active homosexuality and most on the forum will share that to some degree. But if we look at Jesus' life, the sin that he most often denounced in the strongest terms was hypocrisy. That sin, which of course the pharisees exhibited in large measure, is particularly dangerous because it is more easily hidden. An active homosexual may well eventually become disgusted with himself but the hypocrite thinks he is on the right path and his error, which is pride, is less easily recognized.
Sorry David -- I will tolerate no excuse for the sin of sodomy and those who promote the gay lifestyle. You do not seem to understand the implications of this 'activity' from the perspective of heaven and as I result I think you are misguided in your thinking. When you see fire falls from the sky (Akita) then you will understand the seriousness of this sin and the sin of abortion, the two sins which will result in Divine wrath. But perhaps you think Sodom and Gomorrah is a myth?
Here we go again. Please just read what I wrote, not what you think I wrote. I have made NO 'excuse' for active homosexuality. Scripture is clear on its seriousness. I was merely pointing why the sin of hypocrisy could be viewed as more dangerous.
But your position and Smudger's position make it possible for active homosexuals to receive Holy Communion in good conscience!
ag again you deliberately avoid the true teaching in the CCC that mortal sin must have full consent and full knowledge. We live in an age that is pagan, and many of these people have no concept of sin.That just maybe their saving grace (in a sense). A well known italian priest going back decades used to say there are 8 sacraments, and the eight is greater than the others: ignorance! He had a point that has truth in it.
You are telling me that homosexuals are not aware of how perverted their actions are? And you call me ignorant? God did not wait for the founding of the Catholic Church to instill in men the horror of this sin, but he implanted in the human nature of all of us. That is why St. Paul in the famous passage on homosexuality in the first chapter of his Epistle to the Romans, verses 24 to 27, lambastes the Gentiles for practising this sin even though they had no revealed religion, and he does so in terms chosen to re-awaken that natural repugnance, e.g. verse 27: “And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error”. Homosexuality is a vice, or sinful habit, created by nothing other than a series of sinful acts, for each of which the individual was responsible. Homosexuality is a moral problem, which is why, fascinatingly, St. Paul in the same passage derives it from idolatry!
1 Corinthians 6:9 …8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers! 9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.…
The reality is homo's do receive Holy Communion in good ( if perverted) conscience. There in lies one of the problems in our age.
What happened to the Jews that rejected Christ's message? He prophesied that the Temple would be torn down. So it was. Huge numbers of Jews were slaughtered and the remainder scattered to the four winds. There are limits to Mercy.
simply yes. thats exactly what I am telling you. Why should they have any concept of sin if they have been brought up in a pagan culture? Sorry but you display a quite ignorant attitude to the lives of ordinary people who never know the Gospel.
