ROME, May 19, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- Pope Francis has appointed radically liberal, pro-homosexual Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe as a consultor for the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
The Holy Father made the appointment on Saturday, according to Vatican Radio.
Father Radcliffe, an Englishman, author and speaker, was Master of the Dominican order from 1992 to 2001, and is an outspoken proponent of homosexuality.
"We must accompany [gay people] as they discern what this means, letting our images be stretched open,” he said in a 2006 religious education lecture in Los Angeles. “This means watching 'Brokeback Mountain,' reading gay novels, living with our gay friends and listening with them as they listen to the Lord."
In 2005, as the Vatican deliberated the admission of men with homosexual tendencies to study for the priesthood in the wake of the Church sex abuse scandal, Father Radcliffe said that homosexuality should not bar men from the priesthood, and rather, those who oppose it should be banned. ...

Francis is Candidate #1 to be the False Prophet.
There is no other option.
Most will refuse to do so.
I left the Catholic Church when I accepted Jesus Christ. It was only after my Salvation and upon reading the Scriptures did I realize how much I had been lied to about God's Word, and specifically - Grace.
Join the club.
It’s a big one.
Satan’s smoke is everywhere on this earth. He is here. The end times must be near.
BUMP
May God bless your socks off. You are a very intelligent man. Combat, sir, combat. We’re in it. And this thread is mild to what our dear brothers and sisters in the Middle East endure.
Very nice to have you in a foxhole near by. Thank you.
The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and has endured bad popes, had more than one pope at a time, and even no pope. When you have endured 2000 years, stuff happens. Oh, you wouldn’t know that.
Nor I..
Thank you paladinan. I agree, because I want to be charitable to an aging man out of his element, but destined by the Holy Spirit. He probably is the pope we deserve.
You’re right about the anti-Catholic, hair on fire bunch. No clue in sight, but lots of brass in the lot. Scripturally speaking, I believe the term could be “clanging symbols”.
“...letting our images be stretched open,...”
Uh...
Thank you. The self righteousness of the Catholic haters grows tiresome..
Below, it’s suggested the Pope may have been not aware of the background of this Father Radcliffe. The Pope appoints 40 to this council. I would bet this isn’t over, that Radcliffe will be replaced once the Pope knows the whole story of Radcliffe.
“London, Ontario’s Father Paul Nicholson suggested in his blog that observers can wonder how much Pope Francis knows about Father Radcliffe. The Holy Father is only a man, and is limited in how much he can know about any and every appointment,” Father Nicholson wrote. “His primary language is Spanish and perhaps he has not been sufficiently briefed. And that may be done intentionally by those around him.”
“Those who call themselves Christian must leave this church and abandon Catholicism for their own souls.”
Not so fast there to condemn from one article about this. I expect the Pope will find out about this Father and remove him from the 40 he appointed. Names are suggested to him and he doesn’t know every bit of everything about some one, but he will know now that this has come out, and most likely dump this man.
That would be the right course of action.
Faggotry is a gift from God, illicit Buttsecks can be a holy thing, so sayeth a flunky of his UnHoliness, Antipope Francis. He even mentioned “Brokeback Mountain”, a Vatican Official! What about that movie is a gift from on high? Anne Hathaway’s boobies?
Maybe it was “mistranslated”. Oh wait, this chump was speaking English.
He wants to ban “homophobe” priests too.
I’m just speechless. These are not Catholics, nor Christians. They worship Satan and his High Holy Rectal Prolapse.
As did I 😇 Praise Jesus
There was one even promoting 841 right here on FR. Defending how the muslims “got it” but the rest of us don’t.
There’s simply no point in wasting one’s words.

Sadly I saw those posts. My heart ached for that poor soul. But you know, I'm sure a lot of folks may tire of seeing me ask that question, but it needs to be shown exactly how wrong the teaching of the Roman Catholic Cult is...and CCC 841 and 969 stand out as prime examples of that awful blasphemy.
It may be a waste of breath... but one soul managed to admit it was wrong. Who knows? Others might as well.
