Go here to read the story. Always recall that this pontificate is all about advancing the agenda of the Lavender Mafia.
PopeWatch: Victory For The Lavender Mafia
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.

An advancement for the Lavender Mafia is only an assurance of a repeat of Sodom and Gomora.
Fire will fall from the sky.
A reasonable follower of Christ would assume that over 3 billion dollars of payments to injured individuals caused by priests with the spirit of fornication, was enough to HALT the advancement of the evil…but alas, some individuals will have to see fire fall from the sky in a reprimand that only Nature and Nature’s God can allow.
A remnant church will survive and flourish.
The spirit of fornication and the covenant of those who promote, protect and advance that spirit will no longer pretend to be in God’s service.
They will have received their rewards. They will be off to their eternal retirement reaping the whirlwind.
Go to hell.
Honestly Philip, the sodomites and sex abusers, indecent assault and battery which cannot be given consent for the Lavender Mafia is hell.
It’s not up to him!
A “synod” where you pick who you want to be there, choose the answer you want, and dismiss all Tradition, Scripture and Magisterium that proceeded YOU.
Does a blessing of same sex couples include health and protection from the bad consequences of putting things where the don’t belong?
No to priests doesn’t mean no to deacons, and as everyone knows yes to deacons means yes to priests. Are women to become deacons but not be ordained?
The redeeming part of this papacy is it’s so bad it’s laughable. And the really bad part was kept to the end because the previous pope resigned and lived on until just recently.
“By the mercy of God, that time was shortened.”
Typical Jesuit. Forget what Christ said about your “yes be yes and your no be no.” It’s about nuance and about loosing on earth so it will be loosed in heaven. They are denying the Truth and will assigned their millstone accordingly.
Blessing a same sex relationship is no better than blessing an addict’s needle or telling a battered spouse to continue cohabitation.
I suppose what little comfort there is to be had in this comes from the sure knowledge that, although a priest may call down a blessing on an immoral relationship, God is in no way compelled to comply.
His ways are far above our ways.
Thank God!!
Yes Mary De Voe…a living hell for all of society.
We are all connected.
It’s time for us to know the Epstein list and what clergy are on it to get rid of them from position of power
Mrs. Opey: Just a reminder that no names were ever released from the lists of the DC madam or any other of the proprietors of these establishments over the years and we all know why.
In 1 Corinthians 12:26 it says, “If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.” The connection between people as members of the Body of Christ should be like the connection of a human body.
The acceptance of a disorder as being normal has weakened the Body of Christ.
Homosexuality as being another form of “normal” behavior is leading in thought in this culture. A culture that Catholics are to challenge and confront with charity..not adopt in an act of false mercy.
We, therefore, are suffering the ill effects of this disorder and now the slope has gotten so slippery that we are to adopt Transgenderism as acceptable behavior, per culture.
The Vatican is turning the Body of Christ into nothing more than salt that has lost it’s flavor.
No good. Good for nothing.
A church which conforms to the culture is a protestant church at best. A dieing church.
Again.
Hell no.
Lead or resign.
Lead or resign.
As a recovering alcoholic dope fiend, I concur with The Bruised Optimist:
“Blessing a same sex relationship is no better than blessing an addict’s needle…”
“They have taken away my Lord’s body. I do not know where they have put him.”
Church teaching on these issues is a settled matter. There is no need to have a synod to discuss them. And so having a synod was always about opposing what the Church has always taught, either by chipping away at it or opposing it outright. It looks like they’re probably going to try to chip away at it using deniable ambiguity. Looking at the Pope’s response to the dubia he is used some deniably ambiguous language so he can tell his opponents they are getting it wrong. But his opponents are not getting it wrong.
