AWAITING NZ BISHOPS' RESPONSE ON BLESSING SODOMY


To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X (Twitter). 


Ah, but that was then. March 2021. Now, it's different



Yes, it's Christmas Day, when Christians celebrate the birth of their Saviour, but in the Catholic Church that cataclysmic event is overshadowed by the Vatican's Fiducia Supplicans, which all but the wilfully blind perceive gives the okay to blessing sodomitical unions. 

It's pretty obvious that the Sankt Gallen Mafia who manoeuvred Jorge Bergoglio into the Chair of Peter for precisely this purpose have given him the hurry-up, because in March 2021 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was saying exactly the opposite: "such blessings cannot be considered licit." https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2021-03/holy-see-the-church-cannot-bless-same-sex-unions.html

Antipope Bergoglio and his romantically-inclined ghost writer Cardinal 'Tucho' Fernandez of the CDF have turned the Church into turmoil. Bishops and episcopal conferences all over the world are in open revolt against the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and its faithless denial of doctrine. 

"How," asks Sir Raymond de Souza KHS, KM, "will the NZ Conference of Bishops respond?" 

Pity our poor NZ bishops. A fence is not a comfy place to be - but on which side should they get off? The US bishops, influenced no doubt by the hugely popular but boring Bishop Barron, are toadying to the pope (with the notable exception of the sacked Bishop Joseph Strickland). But in the UK, 500 Catholic priests in the UK know which way is up. They "are really upset about these proposed blessings because they cannot in conscience perform them.".https://www.ncregister.com/news/british-association-of-priests-expresses-grave-concern-about-fiducia-supplicans

Bishop Martin A. Mtumbuka of Malawi: “It is very sad, that after 2, 000 years of converting pagans to Christianity, some of our tired brother bishops would want to convert Christians back to paganism.”

Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata: "Fiducia Supplicans should not be obeyed. And it is perfectly correct to deny blessings to homosexual 'marriages,' and to marriages living in an irregular situation.'

Dear Friends,

 

The document produced by the Vatican Dicastery that is suppose to defend the Catholic Faith and Morals has been received with RESISTANCE from Bishops all over the world.

Here is a list, and counting:

 

In 3 days, dozens of Bishops have issued official communiqués warning that in their dioceses there will be no blessings to same-sex ‘couples’ or anything that is contemplated in the 'Fiducia Supplicans'. So far the list (being updated) is this: 

 

1. Episcopal Conference of Ghana; 

 2. Episcopal Conference of Zambia; 

3. Episcopal Conference of Malawi; 

4. Episcopal Conference of Nigeria; 

5. Episcopal Conference of Togo; 

6. Episcopal Conference of Benin; 

7. Episcopal Conference of Cameroon; 

9. Episcopal Conference of Zimbabwe; 

10. Episcopal Conference of Angola; 

11. Episcopal Conference of São Tomé and Príncipe; 

12. Cardinal Ambongo, president of SECAM, has asked all African bishops' conferences to say that they do not accept the document; 

13. Episcopal Conference of Ukraine (Latin Rite); 

14. Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Greek Catholic Church of Ukraine; 

2. Episcopal Conference of Zambia; 

3. Episcopal Conference of Malawi; 

4. Episcopal Conference of Nigeria; 

5. Episcopal Conference of Togo; 

6. Episcopal Conference of Benin; 

7. Episcopal Conference of Cameroon; 

9. Episcopal Conference of Zimbabwe; 

10. Episcopal Conference of Angola; 

11. Episcopal Conference of São Tomé and Príncipe; 

12. Cardinal Ambongo, president of SECAM, has asked all African bishops' conferences to say that they do not accept the document; 

13. Episcopal Conference of Ukraine (Latin Rite); 

14. Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Greek Catholic Church of Ukraine; 

2. Episcopal Conference of Zambia; 

3. Episcopal Conference of Malawi; 

4. Episcopal Conference of Nigeria; 

5. Episcopal Conference of Togo; 

6. Episcopal Conference of Benin; 

7. Episcopal Conference of Cameroon; 

9. Episcopal Conference of Zimbabwe; 

10. Episcopal Conference of Angola; 

11. Episcopal Conference of São Tomé and Príncipe; 

12. Cardinal Ambongo, president of SECAM, has asked all African bishops' conferences to say that they do not accept the document; 

13. Episcopal Conference of Ukraine (Latin Rite); 

14. Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, head of the Greek Catholic Church of Ukraine; 

15. Polish Bishops' Conference; 

16. Archdiocese of Astana, Kazakhstan; 

17. Five hundred British priests of the "Confraternity of Catholic Clergy".

 

There are also many bishops who have not spoken publicly and countless priests who refuse to make these so-called blessings. Then remember who is dividing the Church: The Vatican itself! They are certainly not the ones who defend what the truth of what Church has always defended. 

 Let us remain firm in the Faith of Our Fathers, to the Apostles, taught by Our Divine Saviour! (Please read 1 Corinthians 1)

How will the NZ conference of Bishops respond?

1 Cor 10: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment."

 

1 Romans 1: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice: 

... For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. ...  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; ... 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.

 

Matt 5:37 - "But let your statement 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and 'No,' 'No.' Anything more than these comes from the evil one."


Pray for our NZ Bishops' Conference.

BISHOPS OF THE WORLD RESIST POPE TO HIS FACE


To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X (Twitter).


 




Opposition mounts by the hour in the Catholic world to the latest blasphemy from the pen of non-Catholic Jorge Mario Bergoglio, impostor pope, in his more than usually egregious Fiduces Supplicans.

No, he (or ghost-writer Cardinal 'Tucho' Fernandez - another Jesuit) doesn't change Church doctrine. Not outright. He can't. And he's too clever by half. He dresses up this vicious deed as virtue - as the devil always does, when persuading us to evil. So naive and faithless bishops and priests will fall for it (as they are in the US, led by the boring Bishop Barron), and in the end will fall into hell for it.

He admits the "possibility" of blessing "irregular" unions, which are happening already, all over the globe - even in Palmerston North Diocese New Zealand, under former bishop Charles Drennan - and goes all around the houses dragging the red herring of difference between 'liturgical' and 'non-liturgical' blessings. As if God would bless sodomy, in any way whatsoever.

RESIST! Deo gratias! This time of persecution in the Church is the moment for martyrdom: white martyrs now, but likely red martyrs in the not too distant future. 

Read Cardinal Fernández' attempt at self-justification in this interview by The Pillar:

a Same-sex blessing ‘does not validate or justify anything’ (highlight and follow the link).

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò (a latter-day Marcel Lefebvre) says the Vatican’s newly approved blessings for homosexual ‘couples’ show that the ‘Bergoglian hierarchy’ are ‘servants of Satan and his most zealous allies.’ https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-bergoglios-approval-of-blessings-for-homosexual-couples-shows-he-is-a-servant-of-satan/?utm_source=daily-usa-2023-12-

And from OnePeterFive: 

 "But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed" (Gal. ii. 11)

Brethren in Christ, we are living in the glorious times of the saints! This is an awesome time to be a Catholic. Let us thank Almighty God that He has chosen us to live in this dark time, in order to call us to take up the mantle of all of our forefathers and lay down our lives for the Faith.

After ten years of this pontificate, in which the worldwide episcopacy has been mostly asleep (with a few happy exceptions!), this latest action seems to have awoken more bishops to oppose Pope Francis than ever before. Here we will review all that have made statements thus far who either condemn the document and/or prohibit blessing “same-sex couples” or in some other way oppose this document. (Credit to LifeSite for much of their commentary on these statements).

So far we have bishops taking a stand from Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. Let us continue to pray for more to stand up for the sake of the Faith and the salvation of souls.

Clicking on a country, group or name will yield the official episcopal statements in the original languages or official English translations as well as English commentary as necessary (giving credit as much as possible to the original source of publication). Also noted are a few instances of opposing Francis indirectly, while prohibiting blessings of what the document calls “same-sex couples.”

Individual Bishops or Dioceses

Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk (unofficial English)

Kazakhstan: Diocese of Astana (Archbishop Peta and Bishop Schneider)

Democratic Republic of Congo: Cardinal Ambongo (calling upon all African bishops to have a united response)

Switzerland: Bishop Eleganti (English commentary)

United States: Bishop Strickland

Vatican: Cardinal Müller (English commentary), Archbishop Viganò

Episcopal Conferences

Malawi (prohibits “blessings of any kind and [sic] for same-sex unions of any kind”)

Rwanda (English comments)

Zambia (prohibits the “implementation” of Fiducia Supplicans in Zambia)

Nigeria (prohibits “blessing of same-sex unions and activities”)

Kenya does not oppose Francis directly but prohibits the blessing of “a style of life” and insists that blessings are for “individuals” on a “personal basis”)

Cameroon (“we formally prohibit all blessings of ‘homosexual couples’ in the Church of Cameroon”)

Ghana (does not oppose Francis directly but condemns the blessing of “same-sex marriages”)

Ukraine (unofficial English)

Poland (English commentary)

Canada (does not oppose Francis directly but prohibits blessing “their situation” and insists that only “persons themselves” can be blessed)

Priestly Confraternities

International: SSPX (website & superior general)

United Kingdom: Confraternity of Catholic Clergy

Catholic Women Organisations


This Saturday I am going on retreat for Christmas and will not return until the 9th Day of Christmas. At that time I hope we can update this list to include every continent and many more bishops, priests, and other organisations!

Above all, let us pray for the poor souls who are afflicted with same-sex attraction, since they are the greatest victims of this assault on the Faith. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
