For centuries, the Roman Catholic Church has been a beacon guiding believers on the path of righteousness and repentance, a church that reveres its leaders as embodiments of holiness. But Pope Francis' recent actions demonstrate his desire to make the church more human than divine. As a devout Catholic, I wish this wasn't the case, but sadly it is.
'Rubber stamp' synod reveals the Pope's true intentions. He wants more voices to decide the future of the church. (There should be only one voice, and that is the voice of God.) Under the guise of “inclusion,” the Pope establishes new doctrine that distances the Church from the traditional family and away from valuing life. He pursued a not-so-secret agenda to do so. And he turns away from God.
Destroying morality in the name of “progress” has helped rise up the woke, the entitled, the hateful, and the divisive. The Pope does not solve problems.
The Vatican's recent announcement that it will force priests to bless what the church has long called “unnatural unions” comes just two years after it defined any blessing of such unions as “illegal.” This is a change from before.
i submit it all People are created by God and worthy of God's love, but the problem here is the pope's knee-jerk approach to social issues, bowing to minorities and favoring one group over another. By doing so, it promotes discord.
There are rifts within the faith, with the pope choosing who will receive the blessing from a list of “marginalized” groups approved by the Awakened. By choosing who to bless, Pope Francis creates a hierarchy of values depending on which group that person falls into. That is, some groups of people are more celebrated, important, and valued than others.
I'm sorry but, every Humans are a gift from God. We are all blessed and every life is precious. The whole thing smells like George Orwell's Animal Farm. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”
Church leaders should lead people to God. Rather, the Pope, through his policies, is leading us away from God and toward human conformity. He is essentially claiming that it is okay to hate people from a certain group of people, those outside of his “privileged” group.
Pope Francis follows his example in choosing who to bless and who to hate.
As fallible humans, we tend to uplift and celebrate those with whom we agree. But it only becomes a problem when we apply the word “blessing” to people with whom we disagree.
For example, in 2020 I used the word “blessed” at a Rose Garden event to describe our country under President Trump. When I said this, the Holy Spirit put the words in my mouth. Blessed “Having a leader like President Trump who is a builder…” I got really attacked for that, all because I used “blessed” and “Donald Trump” in the same sentence. .
It is a division based on human values.
Despite Biden's history of supporting the right to end life, calling Joe Biden a “good Catholic” and rolling out the Vatican's red carpet for him also undermined the pope's credibility. is highly questionable. Conversely, he was given a cold shoulder when President Trump visited the Vatican. But Trump has a history of valuing life.
The Catholic Church has survived scandals brought on by the abhorrent acts of pedophiles within its walls. Scandals continue to plague the church. But rather than use that as an impetus to return the church to its roots, Pope Francis has instead hired Catholics to create a new theology, one that does not necessarily correspond to the Christian face of God. Trying to engage in direction.
Last year, Pope Francis called on the church to adapt its theology to changing times and “the conditions in which men and women live every day in different geographical, social and cultural environments.” Some call it a “new direction” for the church.
People are changing, and the church should change with them, the pope says. In other words, the church should be tailored to the people. This is clearly anti-Catholic. It should be the other way around.
God's righteousness does not change. The fundamentals of our faith remain the same. Christ's death and resurrection did not change. And God's standards for what is right behavior have not changed. As representatives of the church, we should say, “Your actions may be sinful, but times have changed, so are we okay?”
I disagree.divine truth I never have Whatever humans do will change.
In my eyes, the Catholic Church seems to be moving away from God. Ironically, I feel that former President Trump is a better spiritual leader than current Pope Francis. Trump's leadership as president on spiritual issues was certainly more to the point.
President Trump became the first sitting president in history to speak at the annual March for Our Lives. He established the Division of Conscience and Religious Freedom within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to protect religious freedom and prevent taxpayer money from being used for religious discrimination. President Trump became the first president to meet with the United Nations to call for an end to religious persecution. He signed an executive order promoting free speech and religious freedom during the National Day of Prayer. Perhaps most importantly, he appointed Supreme Court justices who value life.
Most of these actions will run counter to Pope Francis' New Directions.
Mr. Trump, who was called “blessed” by the Holy Spirit in the Rose Garden that day in 2020, is far more spiritual than people give him credit for, and he does the same thing that I see. I see — that America is the victim of some kind of insane moral anarchy.
Destroying morality in the name of “progress” has helped rise up the woke, the entitled, the hateful, and the divisive. The Pope does not solve problems.
Holiness is absolute. It is also healing and unifying. Now, more than ever, we face two different choices: to love, build, and unite, or to hate, divide, and destroy. We must love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
The Catholic Church and my faith are central to my life. So we pray that Pope Francis would stop focusing on selfish individualism and focus instead on holiness and salvation. Because that will ultimately lead us back to God.
