Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things. Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
Romans 1:21-32
The heretic did it a week before Christmas too! All just so that you can enter the season with what he’s done in mind, the season devoted to the ideal of holy families. That’s how much he really HATES you!
At this point I’m just making a list and checking it twice of all the clerics and professional Catholics and Experts who are looking for all the strained gnats, jots and tittles to excuse and make kosher the heretic’s actions.
Run for the freakin’ hills.
My personal predictions about what is to come following antipope bergoglio’s directive yesterday (I am purposely lower-casing his name to show my disrespect). Please pray that my predictions do not come true.
1. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of Novus Ordo Catholics will be scandalized. Only a small percentage of them will move over to the Traditional Latin Mass. An equally small percentage of them will apostisize into a “conservative evangelical” denomination or the Orthodox Church because… we just can’t go back to that old-fashioned Latin Mass. The majority of them will just stop going to Mass like happened after 1969.
2. A large percentage of Traditional Latin Mass Catholics will also be scandalized cause, we can’t say that jorge bergoglio is an anti-pope and that he’s establishing an anti-church. They will become obsessed with fear that the safe space they’ve found in their Diocesan TLM communities and the Ecclesiae Dei communities are about to be officially attacked from (the anti-church in) Rome, but when the attack actually comes and their bishops look the other way, they still won’t call out the anti-church for what it is and will stay at home on Sunday rather than go to an SSPX chapel or attend Mass underground because of “obedience” you know.
3. The vast, vast majority of Novus Ordo Catholics will think this news is just wonderful. Yay social justice!!! Their diocesan priests and bishops will cower in fear and allow the Karens and Kevins to basically take over. It will start with well-dressed and polite men and women in sodomite “relationships” being put onto parish councils, becoming Eucharistic “ministers”, teaching CCD, RCIA and other things they should not. No one will bat an eye when rainbow flags start to adorn the sanctuaries, then “same-sex couple” blessing ceremonies made to look like a wedding as much as possible. No one will still bat an eye when trannies become Eucharistic “ministers” and drag-queen storytimes happen inside churches. Anyone protesting such will be branded a hater and pushed out of the (anti) church.
4. The percentage of official Catholics will drop dramatically and especially in the U.S. and Europe. Catholic converts to protestant sects will be offset by the massive drop-offs of cradle protestants, resulting in flat to negative growth for those “other Christians.” islam on the other hand will rise to the detriment of all. In a relatively short amount of time, the largest percentage of Americans and Europeans will be “no religion”.
5. jorge bergoglio and the rest of the anti-church prelates won’t give a $#%& about this decline and will instead, rejoice. An invalid consecration will be ordered and no one will say a word – the anti-church will be official.
Please pray that my predictions do not come true. Lord have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. St. Joseph, terror of demons, pray for us. Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, pray for us.
Unfortunately, they will come true, just as night follows day. The best you can pray for is that it won’t be as bad.
But what’s also worse is the following…
– The media will make it seem that official homo-weddings are just a matter of time, and encourage their flock to make this matter of time be ASAP.
– This will extend to more scandals such as non-repentant homo-convert baptisms and confirmations and baptisms of homo-couple-trouple’s adopted and surrogate children.
– Good priests wanting to stand against it will get the activists setting them up for harassment and the fall, the BLM and Palestinian protestors will have something new to do and they’ll be coming to a parish near you. Many of your good priests will be moved elsewhere where they won’t cause the “bishop” any problems. Good bishops will be replaced, and cardinals fired, by Bergolio, as we’ve recently witnessed.
– Catholic institutions captured by the apostate pervert progressives, such as schools, colleges, universities, hospitals etc. will take this as the green light to proceed to push openly and blatantly more perversion, especially to children, because the “Pope” has blessed it! Employees within these systems who push back will be fired. Lawsuits on their behalf will be tossed, and the government will oppress them, because now their “religion” has no problem accepting such perversions.
I say we get ahead of this by preemptively being the protestors knocking and breaking down and occupying the bishop’s and cardinal’s doors before the leftists assemble to get there. Make sure they know that we mean trouble too.
Now we know why apostate Antipope Bergoglio went after Bishop Strickland–to prepare for this abomination. He hopes to scare every bishop and priest into false obedience and that they will all obey without question. It seems to already be working with odious Archbishop Rodi of the Archdiocese of Mobile even though most of the priests are orthodox: https://1819news.com/news/item/mobile-archbishop-to-take-guidance-from-holy-father-following-same-sex-blessings-direction-from-vatican
Bishop Strickland fell right into the trap by obeying. If he had laughed at Antipope Bergoglio and simply said, “I am not obeying an antipope,” this would never have happened. If the bishops and priests had kept churches opened with no masks during 2020, this would never have happened and Antipope Bergoglio would have been gone by now.
Yes! And, don’t look back.
Soon there will be nobody on the face of the earth who will accuse St Paul (or St. Augustine either) of cold and unloving severity.
Yes, that sounds about right. Following this, somehow, when all seems lost, Russia will be consecrated, and this nightmare will end.
To Johnno’s point about the pre-Christmas timing: Just imagine how much more difficult it would be (now) if the sodomy topic comes up at dinner with leftist relatives. “Your pope gave his blessing for it. Who are you to judge?” Response: “Well, I outrank the silly antipope. I’ll judge his asinine and illegiitmate pronouncements all I want.”
It’s too late for Russia’s consecration to mean anything. Jesus told Lucy that 1960 was the last chance.
When the immaculate heart triumphs, won’t it be a decisive triumph, the end of the period of history where the devil freely goes back and forth, deceiving and destroying? It would be the fulfillment of the promise made at the beginning of history.
I mean Jesus won for us graces to become children of God, but knowing world history, hasn’t the devil still been semi-free/restrained since the crucifixion?
But if it is indeed that climactic triumph, then the devil will use his strongest weapons, like the fake messiah, right?
Agree with Joel.
I think Scripture says this time will be shortened for sake of the elect.
Lucia only said that Our Lady said that things would be more clear by 1960. The Consecration will be done, but too late. We are told that Russia will be converted and the Immaculate Heart will triumph. The allusions to the Kings of France suggests 2029 as the limit. The enemy also times their schemes by 2030. It may be too late to stop what’s coming, but the sooner it’s done, the sooner it ends, and the damage be limited.
Already we are seeing the “synodal” Church at work. The Africans and Khazakstan opposing the “Pope”, and Austria and Germany embracing the initiative. Every region does what they want, a house divided, all protestant in action divorced from doctrine that is now a buffet, no longer universal, no longer Catholic.
If the bogus covid lockdowns and leftist racial insanity and stolen US election were punishments for Amoris Letitia, one shudders to imagine what 2024 has in store for this. Cyber attacks on the banks and infrastructure? Internet ID? The facade of Democracy finally ending for order, safety and equality?
Read the wise Mr Verrechio over at “aka Catholic”. He makes a strong case for something very onerous on the horizon. Lord have mercy on us.
That should read ominous not onerous in my above post.
“The Consecration will be done, but too late.” OK, that’s what I said.
That’s why some prophets have speculated that Our Lady’s Triumph will be glorious, but brief (possibly 25 years before the emergence of antichrist). As usual, it’s impossible to predict every detail. Either way, it’s good to see things progress along, according to God’s providence.
For all their insistence that it’s not endorsing sodomite marriage…
It dawned on me (duh) today that the priest doesn’t perform the sacrament of marriage . The couple confers the sacrament on themselves.
The priest validates it by a BLESSING.
So in essence this document is okaying a (pseudo) -sacrament of marriage.
How cunning they are.
You are right. Bishop Strickland erred in obeying. An antipope has no authority over the true church.
You said it was to late to “mean anything.” As Lucia said, Russia will have already spread her errors, and all the consequences that would follow, the holy father will have much to suffer etc.
But the late Consecration can still mitigate the length of those consequences and usher in the period of peace sooner rather than later, and it will alert the world as to the identity of the true Pope and where the actual Catholic Church will be HQ’d at that time. My guess is Portugal.
No, He told her that the revelation of the third secret of Fatima should be made public by then. It’s never too late for the consecration and victory of the Immaculate heart.
2357 “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexuality as a grave depravity, tradition has always declared that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.” -Roman Catholic Catechism
