Linguistic acrobatics to confuse the laity and outsiders. Then with a wink and a nod a few years down the road, yeah, same sex “unions” are okay in our books.
Irrespective, I suspect that the steady stream of dissatisfied Catholics inquiring into Orthodox Christianity with swiftly swell into a tsunami.
I pray that we will be both ready and discerning.
(with a wink and a nod)”Now we’re just blessing you two, not your relationship. Hope you understand.”
Hilarious seeing how the sheep fall for every story about how Francis is a marxist leftist while they cannot point to even one document or statement about church teachings being changed by his decree.
I changed to Orthodox Christianity 3 years ago after 12 years in Catholic school, this Pope just pushed me over the line!! I was absolutely disgusted with the coverup of the priests molesting alter boys HOWEVER the indoctrination from my parents and schooling was a difficult thing to break!! This Pope and his message on OUR BORDERS was the straw that broke the indoctrination!! GOD is NOT ONLY present in the Catholic faith he is present in ALL FAITHS!! The Catholic faith has lost its way!! I FIRMLY BELIEVE that the previous Pope was forced out BECAUSE of the NWO reset, a Pope has NEVER resigned before NEVER!! This Pope is a commie, Marxist!!!
He cozies up to one world demons. This Catholic can see that very clearly. He’s being used to help usher in the Great Reset.
What value is there in a blessing for the unrepentant?
It is purposefully ambiguous.
The abomination of desolation?
Him sticking his nose into leftist politics is enough for me, the Catholic Church should be following the Catholic faith NOT LEFTIST politics!!!
Oh please. The usual Bergoglio apologists are at it again.
He can say whatever he wants, but he knows that James Martin et al. Are already designing little rites for their gay friends. Bergoglio knows that people are going to see this as gay marriage, or, in the case of straight couples who may be married to other people or living together with no intention of marrying, as a way of saying that sacramental marriage doesn’t really matter anyway.
Its all good, right?
I doubt you have scope enough to know if “most” protestant churches are “wallowing”. Certainly there are some that would be considered “disappointments”. Most are doing what they need to be doing which is why you aren’t “hearing’ about them. The times are dark and many folk don’t have an ear for the gospel but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of protestant churches out there who aren’t in the fight!
WRONG!
Hey, love is love!
At least Francis isn’t saying mean things about sin like those rigid Catholics. You gotta be flexible now with the Commandments. It’s a different world.

There have been 9 or 10, depending on your understanding of a resignation, Papal resignations.
Oh please, how many past Popes have condemned capitalism? What about John Paul 2 going to Poland and supporting their labor unions?
“...they cannot point to even one document or statement about church teachings being changed by his decree.”
If there is no change, then why is a decree necessary?
