New Pope Francis called homosexual ‘marriage’ a ‘machination of the Father of Lies’

Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, is known to LifeSiteNews readers as a valiant defender of life and family.

In terms of homosexual ‘marriage’, Cardinal Bergoglio fought valiantly to have the law in Argentina continue to protect the traditional family.

In July 2009, he called on the priests of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires to bring the faithful to an upcoming protest against homosexual "marriage."

"Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God," wrote Cardinal Bergoglio in a letter sent to the monasteries of Buenos Aires. "We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

"The Argentinean people will have to confront, in the coming weeks, a situation whose result could gravely injure the family. We are speaking of a bill regarding marriage between people of the same sex," a bill that calls into question "the identity, and the survival of the family: father, mother, and children."

The latter, warns Bergoglio, might also be threatened by homosexual adoption, which would be a true form of discrimination.

Well, that's good news!

What's NOT good news is that a majority of those who call themselves "Catholic" are all aboard the fake "marriage" wagon.

For all those who thought he was going to "modernize" the Church on their pet social issues, not so much.

Modernizing on social issues such as feeding the poor, I pray so. (As in using 21st technology to get what needs to be where it needs to be.)

Now THAT is a shot across the bow, right out of the launch.

The Catholic Church has a full-time job purging its ranks of the the activists that have infested the ranks of its priesthood, who apparently infiltrated at many levels and from many directions over much of the last half-century or so. And much of this infiltration has taken place right here in the Untied States (spelling intentional). Particularly in the big-city dioceses, some of which are served by the most liberal bishops in the entire hierarchy of the Catholic Church.
