No sooner had Pope Francis elevated the pro-gay Hate Trump bishop of San Diego to archbishop of the Diocese of Washington, D.C., than the Vatican reportedly allowed gays to become priests in Italy, according to news reports.
First, Robert McElroy, widely known as a heretic, takes over one of the nation's most visible and important dioceses. Well, this.
Open homosexuals have long been barred from entering the priesthood, but that hasn't stopped closeted homosexuals from entering the priesthood and embarking on an unprecedented wave of rapes.
The move ignores a 15-year-old Vatican directive banning the ordination of homosexuals on the grounds of objectively disordered desires.
The day before, Pope Francis again condemned young Catholics who love the traditional Latin Mass. He said they were eccentric, money-minded, and had to move with the times.
homo priest
The Italian Bishops' Conference released the document last week, the far-left and pro-gay National Catholic Reporter reported. The Vatican immediately, and not surprisingly, OK'd this.
“In the formative process, when we mention homosexual tendencies, we do not limit our discernment to only that aspect, but understand its meaning within the global framework of the young person's personality, as with all candidates.'' “is appropriate,” the document says.
“The Vatican's clerical department has approved the document, which will be valid for three years. The document was signed by Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, head of the Italian bishops, who is considered a close ally of Pope Francis. ” the website continued.
The document states that the purpose of preparing candidates for the priesthood regarding their sexuality is “the ability to accept it as a gift, freely choose it, and live responsibly in celibacy and chastity.” ”
The document is entitled “Formation of Elders in the Italian Church.'' The “Guidelines and Regulations for Seminaries” was approved by the Italian bishops during their general meeting in Assisi from November 13th to 16th. The Italian diocese, where vocations are at an all-time low, is on the brink of making the Catholic Church more palatable to contemporary concerns by suggesting an expanded role for women in the training of priests and in the fight against sexual issues. I'm trying. Abuse and the acceptance of homosexuals into the clergy.
One look at Zuppi and you'll see that wearing loafers might be a little light. In 2022, he was accused of allowing gay couples to be blessed in the church of San Lorenzo di Budrio.
That aside, the problem for the bishops was to obtain very clear instructions in 2005 regarding the formation of priests.
In light of the Church's teaching that homosexual acts are a grave sin and always disorderly, the doctrine states: Denying homosexual tendencies or supporting so-called “gay culture.” ”
One of the reasons is:
In fact, such people find themselves in situations that seriously prevent them from properly relating to men and women. We must never overlook the negative consequences that can arise from the ordination of people with deep-seated homosexual tendencies.
“Same chastity standards”
The Italian bishops approved the directive, the reporter explained. But they suggest that “other aspects should also be taken into account when considering the acceptance of homosexual candidates for the clergy.” Although openly gay people are no longer automatically barred from becoming candidates for the priesthood, such candidates are still held to the same standards of chastity as straight priests. It is being ”
Given the many crimes committed by homosexual priests, it remains to be seen whether they can be held “to the same standards of chastity as straight priests.”
After all, the all-male clergy is a target-rich environment for homosexuals. This became clear years ago when the gay rape scandal that was covered up by pro-gay bishops (some of whom were gay themselves) surfaced.
The most egregious case was that of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who rose through the ranks to become the top cleric of the Catholic Church in the United States despite years of abusing seminarians and raping young boys.
As the New American reported yesterday about McElroy, a close friend of the Lavender Mafia, countless bishops came out as gay years ago. One of them was McElroy Professor Wilton Gregory.
TLM Catholics are strict and backwards.
But despite allowing Italian bishops to collar sodomists, Pope Francis has again condemned those who prefer the traditional Latin Mass, LifeSite News reported. That was the norm until the revolution enacted by the Second Vatican Council watered down the Mass recited by the Church's greatest saints.
“From a sociological point of view, we consider the phenomenon of traditionalism, this 'backwardism' that returns periodically from century to century, a reference to a perfect era, each time a different era. “That's interesting,” the pope said in his new memoir. Hope.
“It is unhealthy for the liturgy to become an ideology,” Pope Francis wrote, LifeSite reported.
“It's interesting to see this kind of fascination with things that are not understood, things that seem to be somewhat hidden, and sometimes it seems to be of interest to younger generations,” he continued.
Young people who love the old Mass have succumbed to “rigidity” and, worse, “ecclesiastical…individualism” and “denominational secularism.”
If that wasn't enough, he accused traditional Catholics of being crazy, the Life site reported.
These ways of dressing can hide mental imbalances, emotional deviations, behavioral difficulties, and personal problems that can be exploited.
In 2019, Pope Francis allowed the worship of pagan idols in the church of Santa Maria in Traspontina. Catholic activists threw it into the Tiber River.
In the latest print edition of The New American, the magazine's Bill Jasper asks an important question: “Is the Pope a Communist?”
