I have never really had much dealings with homosexuals, or any dealings at all really with groups of them working together so am unsure how they do things. But Scripture is really , really hard line about certain kinds of sins and sinners and how they are dealt with. Witches and witchcraft. Idols and idol worshippers. Homosexuality. The reason for this is that they endanger society and its morals as a whole. The trajectory since sexual perversion has been legalised and approved of is evident. It reminds me of my tow dogs. I have some frozen sausages and give them one each every morning and for treats. But imagine if I got up one morning and they demanded two sausages. Then a year or two later they wanted free access to the fridge. Then they wanted the keys of the house. Then they demanded the keys to house and insisted I sleep on the chair while they used the bead. The demands keep on going upwards and onwards there just seems no end to it. Which is why perhaps God in Scripture insists we put out foot down from the very get go.
Some kinds of sins seem to slide into others. If someone is indulging in sexual perversion I would be on the look put for them following up with child abuse. This is reasonable since in order to be a child abuser you have to be a homosexual in the first place in the vast majority of cases. I had an interesting conversation with a customs officer a few years back whose job was to stop kiddie porn, He was a homosexual himself and said they only used homosexuals to do the job because they were the only ones who could stomach looking at the vile material. He said this without irony , but I thought it was very revealing. I also suspect a natural lead on from sexual perversion is into Satanism and the Dark Arts. In Satanism all forms of sexual intercourse involves perversion as a matter of course.
Malachi Martin when he wrote of such goings amongst the Higher Clergy on in books like, 'Windswept House' , was right on target. The Jesuits know everything and miss nothing.
Pope meets with Nancy Pelosi, check out the 1st photo. That look they're passing between them... That handshake... That picture speaks volumes. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...meet-at-the-vatican?__twitter_impression=true
it was not she who said that she had difficulty believing in transubstantiation even though she declared herself Catholic?.
Disgusting. He didn’t receive pro life Trump with a hearty smile but he does with pro death Pelosi. From that article:
I read on a different site that PF won't be making the trip to Scotland and that trips he had planned for December are up in the air. I won't link to the site because I personally find it distasteful, but it provides news. Regard this as a rumor and not anything substantial.
Well he is working hard to get his "stuff" done then. It explains the speed and intensity. How sad this is. Will the Blessed Mother win that all essential grace for him that we all will need at the moment of death? I am going to start an additional Hail Mary every night for him. (Added to the prayer i include for him in my Rosaries)
https://www.ncregister.com/blog/uni...ovid-proposed-at-vatican-conference-on-europe Universal Basic Income, Green Politics and ‘Zero-COVID’ Proposed at Vatican Conference on Europe The Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences event drew a mix of pro-abortion politicians, socialist economists, and experts in the thought of Pope St. John Paul II. Edward Pentin Blogs October 9, 2021 VATICAN CITY — The Vatican hosted a conference this week that brought together a number of politicians, business leaders and economists, many of whose views are diametrically opposed to Church teaching, to propose “integral solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic and climate crisis.” The organizers of the “Healing Patient Europe” Oct. 7-8 conference aimed to discuss how denying the “very existence” of the COVID-19 virus and the “disastrous consequences” that followed could set a similar precedent for an “exacerbated climate breakdown, the migration crisis, the lack of intergenerational solidarity and intensified competitiveness over shrinking resources.” The Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, “Europe, a Patient,” a pan-European youth initiative promoting a sustainable future, and the Polish Centre for the Thought of John Paul II, a think tank promoting the late pope’s work on dialogue, solidarity and the common good, were the organizers of the two-day conference at the Casina Pio IV in the Vatican Gardens. The conference, which wasn’t advertised and unusually not covered live on social media, centered on promoting a more equitable distribution of resources, rejecting policies that give priority to the economy over people, especially during the COVID-19 emergency — what Pope Francis has called a “viral genocide.” Along those lines, one central idea discussed and backed by the “Europe, A Patient” Association, was universal basic income (UBI). The proposal, which Pope Francis is sympathetic to, would amount, in his words, to an “unconditional lump sum payment to all citizens, which could be paid through the tax system.” Proponents of UBI, who include socialist and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, the U.N. Development Program and the World Economic Forum (notably through its Great Reset project), argue that, especially in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the opportunity should be seized to put it into practice. At this week’s meeting, UBI was put forward “as an alternative to the growing bank deposits of big business,” possibly contributing to a renewing of the “social contract between European institutions and European citizens.” The conference’s organizers also proposed a raft of other, often regarded as socialist policies that they see as helping Europe’s economy to “create sustainable conditions” for the planet “endangered by climate breakdown.” One question posed was whether the European Green Deal, a set of European Union policy initiatives aimed at making Europe climate neutral in 2050, went far enough. Other discussion points included accessible healthcare and a push for universal distribution of vaccines to achieve “Zero-COVID” — a proposal that critics say will result in a “lifetime of booster shots” aimed at achieving the goal of fully eradicating COVID-19. Globalist Representation Some of the speakers were close to the thought of Pope St. John Paul II, such as the Italian philosopher and politician Rocco Buttiglione, and Michał Senk, president of the Center for the Thought of John Paul II. But the majority were, if not fully supportive of the policies discussed, at least sympathetic to them, and opposed to core moral doctrines of the Church. Many could be considered part of what has become known as the “globalist elite” — a group of policy makers and economists who favor centrally planned economies and foreign policy over free-market capitalism and national sovereignty. They included the co-chairman of the European Greens in the European Parliament, Philippe Lamberts, who backed the legalization of abortion in Ireland in its 2018 referendum and in 2017 opposed a European summit that challenged same-sex “marriage.” Others, speaking on a panel to discuss the “dignity of work, participation in community, care for creation: a real Green Deal,” were socialist Hungarian economist Laszlo Andor, and Joe Guinan, executive director of Next System Project. Guinan is a committed socialist who has contributed in the past to George Soros’ Open Democracy activist media organization. He is a proponent of “community wealth building,” a new people-centered approach to local economic development. Speaking on the same panel was the American economist and population control advocate Jeffrey Sachs. A frequent guest at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Sachs is a Sanders supporter, a China apologist, and the architect of the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at achieving a sustainable future by 2030 but with objectives that include more accessible contraception and abortion under the term “reproductive health.” Addressing the theme “Rebuilding trust by helping citizens directly? Healing the European legitimation crisis,” were the president of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, a member of Italy’s center-left Democratic Party; and Enrico Giovannini, an Italian minister in Mario Draghi’s government who is a fervent advocate of sustainable development and the green economy, and chairman of the Global Council on "Benchmarking of Societal Progress" established by the World Economic Forum. Also discussing the same topic was French Archbishop Roland Minnerath of Dijon, a member of Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences who drew headlines earlier this year when he expelled the traditional Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter after they refused to concelebrate Masses in his diocese; and Johannes Hahn, the EU Commissioner for budget and administration. A pro-European member of Austria’s center-right People's Party, Hahn does not have a pro-life record and in August allowed EU funding of abortion provider Marie Stopes International, now known as MSI Reproductive Choices. Healing ‘Patient Europe’ Delivering a talk on “What responsibility do political leaders have for healing ‘patient’ Europe?” was Italian-American economist Mariana Mazzucato, chairwoman of the World Health Organization’s Council on the Economics of Health for All and a former member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Economics of Innovation. Between 2015 and 2016, she was a member of the British Labour Party’s Economic Advisory Committee, convened by Labour’s hard-left leaders at the time, Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell. Mazzucato is author of The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths, in which she championed the role of state funding in biotech, pharmaceuticals and clean technology. One of the chief organizers of the event was Mateusz Piotrowski, the young president of the Europe, a Patient association. An ecological activist, Piotrowski’s vision for Europe is to put people rather than infrastructure first. He advocates a temporary universal basic income, a “right not to work” during a pandemic, guaranteed employment provided by the EU, help for small businesses and adequate pay for health workers. Another prominent speaker at the event was Laurence Tubiana, known as the “framer” of the 2015 intergovernmental Paris Agreement on combatting climate change, and Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet. Sachs is a lead member of The Lancet’s COVID-19 Commission. More at the link...
Yes, AED, we must pray for Pope Francis from the depths of our hearts and fast as well. Many of us on the forum have less than a score of years until death; our day shall arrive soon enough. Will my time of prayer outweigh my times of criticism? O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
