ARE YOU A HERETIC? Same -Sex Blessings - Jason Evert


 Thank you Jason Evert for this

I have read the document and I agree that it doesn't seem to change Church Teaching but that being said it sort of undermines it. Why was it necessary in the first place then? I see so many problems with this especially in this post-Christian world of ours. Immediately after the document was released Father James Martin caused scandal by jumping on the bandwagon with reporters and cameras and the whole kit and caboodle so the whole world could see it The document made it clear that any blessings must not cause scandal. And Father Martin is one of Pope Frances's favourite priests it seems so what the heck is that All about? If that's not scandalous then what is? Just saying Here in Canada, we have pornographic material in elementary schools as part of sex education and I am talking about all the schools. Our Catholic schools don’t even teach the children the Truths of our Catholic Faith anymore. The harm that is being caused to our children is so sad to see. We have girls being told they can be boys and vice versa. Puberty blockers and surgery to change one's sex is promoted everywhere. I haven’t heard our pope condemn any of this abuse. I have written to our Bishops. There is never a response. I have heard hardly a word from most of priests.

So why not a document from the Vatican addressing this problem Those with same-sex attractions are suffering and not grandstanders like what you see with the likes of “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” sacrilegious performances. The physical moral and psychological abuse in the schools with this indoctrination is criminal. And if parents try to help their kids? Lord have Mercy! Another thing is that LGBTQ+ is far more sinister than men and women struggling with same-sex attraction. There are parades every year, everywhere with the most depraved demonstrations of sexual behavior in front of little children. Men dressing as clownish women are celebrated now everywhere. Drag shows in children’s libraries. It is so insulting to women as well. Can people not see the harm? Unfortunately we seem to have a generation of very stupid parents who find the whole thing amusing I would like to add that priests like James Martin's grandstanding as he did with the LGBTQ Flag is not helping those struggling with same-sex attraction at all. All it does is make all the REAL atrocities going on right under our noses that I mentioned OK, and they are NOT OK

Well just as I was saying that the pope hasn't addressed this issue. Now he says he will address this issue. I Praise Jesus

a portion of the article

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican’s doctrinal chief has revealed that his dicastery is writing “a very important document on human dignity” that contains “a strong criticism” of immoral trends in contemporary society.

Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, the Vatican’s prefect at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), told the Spanish news agency EFE on Friday that the new document will include “not only social issues but also a strong criticism of moral questions such as sex-change surgery, surrogacy, and gender ideology.”

The news comes days after Pope Francis spoke out against surrogate motherhood, calling it “deplorable” and advocating a global ban. Francis has also often criticized gender theory, referring to it as “dangerous” and “one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations” that blur the differences and value of men and women.

In November 2022,  Dutch Cardinal Willem Eijk, a former physician, called for a papal encyclical to combat the false anthropology at the heart of gender ideology. “Gender theory is being pushed in all kinds of organizations and we as a Church have not said that much about it,” he said in an interview.

March 19, 2020 Solemnity of Saint Joseph

from Bishop Barron's Chapel


The Rosary of Saint Joseph 
with Scott Hahn

Protection Procession at Saint Mary's


Pope Francis Call: 

Rosary today, 9: PM Rome Time 3:00 PM our time

 - Fr. Mark Goring, CC -




Pope Francis spoke during his general audience 

from the library of the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican March 18, 2020

The following is a translation of the pope's remarks  regarding the rosary initiative:

" Tomorrow we will celebrate the Solemnity of Saint Joseph. In life, work, family, joy and sorrow he always sought and loved the Lord, meriting the praise of Scripture as a just and wise man. Always invoke him with confidence, especially in difficult times, and entrust your lives to this great Saint.

I join in the appeal of the Italian bishops who in this health emergency have promoted a moment of prayer for the whole country. Every family, every faithful, every religious community: all united spiritually tomorrow at 9 p.m. in the recitation of the Rosary, with the Mysteries of Light. I will accompany you from here.
We are led to the luminous and transfigured face of Jesus Christ and His Heart by Mary, Mother of God, health of the sick, to whom we turn with the prayer of the Rosary, under the loving gaze of Saint Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family and of our families. And we ask him to take special care of our family, our families, especially the sick and the people who are taking care of them: doctors, nurses, and volunteers, who risk their lives in this service."

Father Mark ended with this scripture Passage - 2 Chronicles 7:1

"if then my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, 
humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, 
I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and heal their land."

Viva Cristo Rey

Pope Francis: Where Calumny is, There is the Devil

http://www.ncregister.com/blog/edward-pentin/pope-francis-calumny-is-of-the-devil?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NCRegisterDailyBlog+National+Catholic+Register#When:2013-04-15%2019:54:01#ixzz2QjyZWdus

For the third time in as many weeks, Pope Francis has warned not to speak ill of others, and again mentioned the devil in another striking homily this morning in the chapel of the Vatican's Santa Martha residence.
Calumny, he said, is worse than sin and is the direct expression of Satan. "We are all sinners; all of us. We all commit sins. But calumny is something else. It is of course a sin, too, but it is something more,” he said, according to a Vatican Radio report.
“Calumny aims to destroy the work of God, and calumny comes from a very evil thing: it is born of hatred. And hate is the work of Satan. Calumny destroys the work of God in people, in their souls. Calumny uses lies to get ahead.” Be in no doubt, he said: “Where there is calumny, there is Satan himself."Read more:
