You want an apology, Cardinal Marx? Here’s an apology for you: “You’re a loser. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.”

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Why?

If it were not for pedophile priests over the decades, there wouldn’t be nearly as many “gays” as there are today.

The lavender army is now very powerful in the Church and Marx is one of its leaders. Even just 10 years ago, such remarks from a cardinal would have been unthinkable but we've reached a tipping point and things are now moving downhill very quickly.

Marx's objective is clear and a statement to this effect was inserted in the interim relatio of the 2014 Extraordinary Synod on the Family; namely that the Church should recognize the "value" in "committed" same sex relationships. This caused an uproar at the time but it's clear that Marx is not backing off. He appears to have little fear of censure or disciplinary action and it's easy to see why. Francis' now infamous "who am I to judge?" comment was in response to a question about homosexuals in the priesthood.

There is an orchestrated effort underway to make the Church lavender friendly and all the demonizing of "rigidity" and "doctors of the law" which Francis has been spewing for three years now, is directed principally to this end. The lines are being blurred for heterosexual marriage first, regarding what is and is not a "valid" union but it's a forerunner of bigger things to come.

The Cardinal needs to follow the Catechism:

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

How many times has the Catholic Church apologized to the hundreds of rape victims.

I am a FORMER Catholic and the Pope needs the STHU.

The only apology needed is for failing to remind them that sodomy is a serious sin that will threaten their eternal salvation.

“A leading cardinal has said the Catholic Church should apologise to the gay community for its scandalous and terrible treatment of them, which had not changed until ‘very recently’.”

What the H-E-Double L is he talking about? The Catholic Church has hosted a whole cadre of “gay” clergy for centuries.

If nothing happens to this Cardinal, then something is seriously askew in this church.

Francis and his "lavender" gang should apologize to Catholics, resign from office, and seek mental help (and exorcisms where necessary).

ok.

We are sorry that members of our Church opened hospices to care for AIDS patients back at the beginning of the crisis, when others were too afraid to help.

But mostly, and very sincerely: Sorry our Church is going sideways, and not preaching to you about the need for repentance and your call to live in holiness, because the horrible consequence of that is that you might live and die without the Truth of Jesus Christ. And really, very sorry that we are not even failing to do that out of some malice toward you, but out of a misguided desire to be liked by you and to be seen as “cool”.

I truly am very sorry, on many levels. But never for sins I did not commit.

the council of nine cardinals...


I saw this term “council of nine” used when I researched satanism.
