To: ebb tide

Card. Fernández’s new DDF Declaration “Fiducia Supplicans: On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings” is the epitome of Jesuitical casuistry.

Takeaway: Any couple, including homosexuals, can come for a church “blessing,” as long as it doesn’t look liturgical. The money quote:

<< 39. In any case, precisely to avoid any form of confusion or scandal, when the prayer of blessing is requested by a couple in an irregular situation, even though it is expressed outside the rites prescribed by the liturgical books, this blessing should never be imparted in concurrence with the ceremonies of a civil union, and not even in connection with them. Nor can it be performed with any clothing, gestures, or words that are proper to a wedding. The same applies when the blessing is requested by a same-sex couple.

40. Such a blessing may instead find its place in other contexts, such as a visit to a shrine, a meeting with a priest, a prayer recited in a group, or during a pilgrimage. Indeed, through these blessings that are given not through the ritual forms proper to the liturgy but as an expression of the Church’s maternal heart—similar to those that emanate from the core of popular piety—there is no intention to legitimize anything, but rather to open one’s life to God, to ask for his help to live better, and also to invoke the Holy Spirit so that the values of the Gospel may be lived with greater faithfulness. >>

What is the point of all this? How is it not an implicit approval of a homosexual RELATIONSHIP to bless the COUPLE? If this is not what’s being said, then shouldn’t the document have specified that only INDIVIDUALS may be given blessings?

Why does it always seem that demons are more active around Christmas and Easter?

Fernandez, the idiot who wrote the “declaration” is a longtime member of
Bergoglio’s Lavender Mafia. A bunch of homosexual cardinals who control
Pope Train-wreck.
