Our call to Holiness, is a call to be chaste in our thoughts, in our words, and in our deeds; Our call to Holiness is not a call to remain silent in the face of apostasy. The erroneous notion that private and public morality are not complementary is a grievous error in both Faith and reason, that has reached even into the Magisterium of Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. On Page 117, of the pope's book, On Heaven and Earth, in regards to same-sex unions, Jorge Bergoglio dismisses the harmful nature of certain same-sex sexual relationships. “If there is a union of a PRIVATE NATURE, THERE IS NEITHER A THIRD PARTY NOR IS SOCIETY AFFECTED. Now, if this union is given the category of marriage and they are given adoption rights, there could be children affected. Every person needs a male father and female mother that can help them shape their identity. - Jorge Mario Bergoglio Approval of same-sex sexual unions is approval of same-sex sexual acts. Prior to being elected pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, by condoning same-sex sexual acts in relationships that he referred to as private, did not include children, and were not called marriage, denied the Sanctity of the marital act. To deny the Sanctity of the marital act, is to deny that God, The Most Holy And Undivided Blessed Trinity, Is The Author of Love, of Life, and of Marriage, and thus deny Salvational Love, God's Gift of Grace and Mercy. To deny The Divinity of The Blessed Trinity, is an act of apostasy. One can know through both Faith and reason, one cannot be an apostate and in communion with Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, simultaneously.(Catholic Canon 750 and The Law of Noncontradiction.) Our Call to Holiness, has always been a Call to be Chaste in our thoughts, in our words, and in our deeds. Reordering and identifying human persons according to sexual desire/inclination/ orientation, which sexually objectifies the human person, and denies the inherent Dignity of our beloved sons and daughters, in direct violation of God's Commandment regarding lust and the sin of adultery, is a complete renunciation of Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. It is Through, With, and In Christ, in the Unity of The Holy Ghost, that Holy Mother Church exists. One cannot be autonomous from and in communion with The One Body of Christ, simultaneously. One Bridegroom, One Bride, on earth. One Bridegroom, One Bride, (One Holy Mother Church), in Heaven. Spiritual adultery, without repentance, and the acceptance of Salvational Love, God's Gift of Grace and Mercy, will leave one autonomous, and no longer in communion with Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
But then, I wonder who was responsible for the English translation of Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth and the quote from the false gospel of Thomas that appears in this book.
We are in serious trouble unless it can be shown that these are not the words of Pope Benedict, but rather the words of the man to his (The Pope's) left. It is important to note that Pope Benedict did not have the free reign that Francis does.
