The Heretic pope and Cardinals that follow him. Daniel and Revelation predicted the seven hills city controlled by the beast and the apostate religious system. It is not the Catholic Church it is the sinful apostate leaders in Rome.

Blessing sin is evil and obviously not the Gospel and preaching of Jesus. To bless same sex unions is affirming sodomy as if God would accept and condone this. God does not and Francis is an antipope. I cannot give money to the Catholic Church until this abomination is rejected by the faithful.

I don't think they're blessing the actual union but more so the people in the unions. But the overall impact is basically the same as it gives approval of the lifestyle.

Like so many things Rome tries to mince its words to be purposely evasive and confusing on the issue.

I do wonder how long it will be before we hear, "the church has always everywhere blessed....."

It saddened me after making my first post when I was angry. I am sorry for that. I am profoundly sad. I pray for all the confused young people that are impressionable and now have a world telling them it is okay to be sinful.

All christian denominations of Christian faith have split apart over homosexual sin. The Catholic Church was the rock that protected marriage from divorce and adultery and homosexuality and now it has fallen to the world. Why? Why does the Catholic Church fail on homosexuality at the same time the U.S. Senate is desecrated by homosexuals.

Have the majority of the magisterium become homosexuals in the Church and go along with this Francis heresy? The Catholic Church was a beacon of hope to protect young people from this terrible sin. Now they will believe the Church says it is okay to fall to the sin of homosexuality with the blessing of the Catholic Church? This saddens me deeply. Do I continue to support a church with leadership that is fallen? When the Catholic Church closed its doors during covid I found myself going to a Presbyterian Church with open doors. I will never leave or abandon my faith in my Catholic belief of the sacred sacraments. Many Cardinals and Bishops and many priests have fallen. Christ will always be there for His flock. The sheep are being separated from the goats. May the Immaculate heart of Christ and our Savior triumph over all the evil in the world. May God bless all those who truly believe. Merry Christmas.

It’s much much easier to change denominations that to sell all of your belongings and move to another country where you may not speak the dominant language or know the customs. Your syllogism is faulty in the extreme.

Changing denominations would mean giving up on the fullness of all Seven Sacraments found in the One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

You may or may not believe in the Seven Sacraments, but as a well Catechized Catholic it certainly not something to be given up lightly -- even stupid bad Popes that has happened before.

God will sort it out -- we pray and stay!

God Bless!

Within the Catholic Church there are the Modernists who basically align with the Pope and the Traditionalists who more or less like to stick to what has been traditionally taught for the last 2000 or so years.

So using your logic, being complicit with the Pope only applies if you stay with the Modernists.

You must of thought you really had something.

As Traditionalists, we Pray and Stay! We keep the traditional teachings of faith that has been handed down through the centuries — even before the first Bible was printed!

God Bless!

This makes me feel sad for the poor Disciples of Jesus time. They didn’t have the Seven Sacraments, prayers to MARY, catachecisms or a One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church to rely on. How deprived they must have felt.

As I'm not Roman Catholic thankfully, I'm neither of the groups you mentioned.

LOL....you do realize there was Scripture long before Roman Catholicism existed....right?? And it's fairly easy to prove Rome isn't following what was "handed down" if one really researches the issues.

Aha! You've revealed yourself. You haven't been drinking the Catholic kool-aid. Don't deny it. When's the last time you were at confession? or prayed to the Virgin Mary? I bet you don't even own a brown scapular. And probably travel around carelessly without a St. Christophers amulet to protect you. You are missing out. Life is so much more fun when you join the cult One True Honest to Goodness Apostasy Apostolic Clubhouse. Get with the times and join now.
