OME (AP) — Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it. The document from the Vatican’s doctrine office, released Monday, elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In that preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if they didn’t confuse the ritual with the sacrament of marriage.

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Does the socialist Pope have a statue of Satan on an altar in his living quarters?

I’m semi-old. It used to be a joke to ask, “Is the Pope Catholic?”.

"Exhaustive moral analysis?"

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:13-14

Why go there at all , and endorse homosexuality in any form in the first place?

This action endorses homosexuality, even if he’s trying to make a distinction that it is not blessing homosexual unions as if they are marriage.

This may well be one step in Catholic theology, to eventually endorse homosexual marriage.

Time will tell.

Just another reason why Jesuits should never be Pope.

A resounding satanic victory, and the satanic workers who orchestrated this abomination occupy the Vatican. Are we really surprised with this? This has been the goal from the very beginning of Jorge’s pontificate. Lord have mercy on us. Not only will this lead to the loss of souls to the evil one, but it will lead to the persecution of those priests and bishops loyal to the Lord. Wait and see what now happens to priests and bishops who, loyal to the Lord and the Truth, refuse to participate in these abdominal acts. Civil suits and criminal trials will abound. All faithful priests will ignore this queer SOB, who’s no more the pope than I am. Disgusting, degenerates control the Vatican.

As John Cardinal Kerry spoke in such a memorable fashion from his mini-pontificate: "I voted for it before I voted against it" which was "nuanced" and fact-checked like crazy because stupidity needs to be explained away.

Pope Pachamama is not much different. And as Catholic as are Biden and Pelosi.... And Pope Fran's sis hosted drag queens because "love."

No, you don’t abandon the Church because her leaders are corrupt. You stay, pray and serve.

How can you expect God to bless that which He condemns?

Yes. I was permanently banned from The Gateway Pundit for quoting the Holy Bible on the subject of homosexuality and God’s condemnation of that sin.
