it has to be about money and members....the Pope must think if we act and preach like Protestants than we'll get more members....I doubt it though....
Which protestant denomination has benefited from taking such a position? This really has nothing to do with traditionalists or modernists. Rather it is about those who wish to follow Christ and those who do not.
I’m a Christian, and no church I’ve ever gone to had spoken in favour of homosexuality or anything like it. It’s quite the opposite actually. The messages I here aren’t popular or politically correct. It’s simply from the word of God. His word is clear on these issues and many others.
The old-time Protestant denominations in the U.S. that have gone soft on women's lib, gay "rights", abortion and various other apostacies are the ones that have been bleeding members, closing buildings and selling off properties (Episcopal Church USA, United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church USA, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, etc.). However, the conservative churches like the Baptists, Lutheran-Missouri Synod, various Pentecostal sects and the many evangelical churches in the U.S. that hold to the Bible and the natural family and do not go in for the Marxist agenda have been picking up members. They are where the growth is.
Just so you know... it ain't working for the Protties, so hold the line and don't let your bishops go soft. The Protestant churches in Europe are almost empty. Many of their historic church buildings are little but museums.
Naturally Satan has been actively infiltrating church heirarchies with feminists, communists, homosexualists, and money from one-world secularists, financial barons and Islamists to try to destroy from within. A group of feminists and Jesuits whose organization received funding from such secular foundations such as the Ford Foundation, Buffett Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and the Playboy Foundation even sent some priests to Teddy Kennedy back in the 70s to change his position from pro-life to pro-abortion. It's been going on for too long, and all Christians must repel heresy and those who bring it. Do not be fooled by the Deceiver.
All churches have to of through reformation if they seek to follow Christ. The Episcopal church is no longer a Christian church.
No Christian church will ever hold to acceptance of homosexuality. Nor would it cover up sexual assault on children by church leadership.
The Church tried to act more protty - over the past 50 years - and the result was a mad dash to the doors by the laity and clergy. Francis and his bozo Mass are products of this protty madness.
We won’t.
Our priest is strict and the CINOS hate him but those who are serious about their faith he is just making them stronger.
