October 27, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis’ pronouncement seemingly supporting the legalization of homosexual civil unions has not only caused confusion and recoil among many Catholics. It also invited criticism from Protestant leaders who see him departing from Bible truths. “The news has reported that Pope Francis said in a new documentary that ‘homosexuals have a right to be part of the family’ and is calling for civil union laws for same-sex couples,” noted Evangelist Franklin Graham, son of the late Rev. Billy Graham. “I find these comments from the Pope unthinkable in light of the Word of God.” “For Pope Francis to attempt to normalize homosexuality is to say that Holy Scriptures are false, that our sins really don’t matter, and that we can continue living in them,” said Graham in a Facebook post. “If that were true, then Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection wouldn’t have been needed. The cross would have been for nothing. No one has the right or the authority …
Francesco: Cut & Splice and Vatican silence means ...Famiglie omosex. Ciò che il papa ha detto e ciò che gli hanno fatto dire These two articles are misleading because they try to remove responsibility from Bergoglio. When it is known that Bergoglio also in Argentina supported gay civil unions, using the same deceptive strategy in contradiction to Catholic doctrine. On the one hand Jorge appeared to defend the doctrine of the Church and on the other hand he supported the pseudo gay law that was passed in Argentina 2010. Jorge Bergoglio supported pseudo-gay marriages and gay adoptions. When Clearly the Church teaches that no Catholic can support gay civil unions or gay adoptions. The problem was not in the part that was cut but in the support that Bergoglio gave to sodomy asking for a law to legitimize gay co-habitation.
Francesco: Cut & Splice and Vatican silence means ...Famiglie omosex. Ciò che il papa ha detto e ciò che gli hanno fatto dire Estos dos artículos son engañosos porque intentan quitarle responsabilidad a Bergoglio. Cuando se sabe que Bergoglio también en Argentina apoyó las uniones civiles homosexuales, utilizando la misma estrategia engañosa en contradicción con la doctrina católica. Por un lado Jorge aparentó defender la doctrina de la Iglesia y por otro lado apoyó la pseudo ley gay que se aprobó en Argentina, apoyó los pseudo matrimonios gay y las adopciones gay. Cuando Claramente la Iglesia enseña que ningún católico puede apoyar las uniones civiles homosexuales ni las adopciones homosexuales. El problema no estaba en la parte que se cortó sino en el apoyo que Bergoglio le dio a la sodomía pidiendo una ley para legitimar la convivencia gay.
In 1986, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, then-led by Cardinal Ratzinger, issued a document instructing bishops on the pastoral care of homosexual persons. Therein, the congregation admonished bishops to ensure they are “clearly stating that homosexual activity is immoral.” The instruction adds, “But we wish to make it clear that departure from the Church's teaching, or silence about it, in an effort to provide pastoral care is neither caring nor pastoral. Only what is true can ultimately be pastoral. The neglect of the Church's position prevents them from receiving the care they need and deserve.”
