Francis became 1st pope to
endorse same-sex civil unions, saying: “Homosexuals are children of God and
have the right to be in a family”
By Julio Severo
Pope Francis became the first pontiff to
endorse same-sex civil unions in comments for a documentary that premiered on
October 21, 2020, sparking cheers from left-wing Catholics and concerns from
conservative Catholics, because the Vatican’s official teaching is against the
homosexual sin.
The film, titled Francesco, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival, features fresh interviews with the pope and delves into left-wing issues Francis cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination. It is, therefore, a left-wing film.
“Homosexual people have the right to be in
a family. They are children of God,” Francis said. “You can’t kick someone out
of a family, nor make their life miserable for this. What we have to have is a
civil union law; that way they are legally covered.”
Catholic teaching says that homosexuals
must be treated with dignity and respect but that homosexual acts are
“intrinsically disordered.” A 2003 document from the Vatican stated the Catholic
Church’s respect for homosexuals “cannot lead in any way to approval of
homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions.”
Doing so, the Vatican reasoned, would not
only condone “deviant behavior,” but create an equivalence to marriage, which
the Catholic Church holds is an indissoluble union between man and woman.
That document was signed by then Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI and Francis’ predecessor.
Conservative Catholics think that with Ratzinger
as a pope, any acceptance of homosexual acts or homosexual “marriage” would be
impossible. But he had to leave its papacy perhaps because of a scandal about
to explode: a Catholic school administrated by his brother was involved in a staggering
scandal
of 547 boys abused, including homosexually.
The scandal has been shrouded in mystery and
silence as nothing has been mentioned if Ratzinger’s brother was homosexual or how
many homosexual priests raped the boys.
French homosexual author
Frédéric Martel said that “a very large majority of
priests and Vatican cardinals, 80% perhaps, would be homosexuals.” But
Steve Bannon said that “it’s not 80%, but rather 90%.”
Bannon
intended to launch a film exposing the Vatican’s homosexual
scandals, but he was involved in scandals himself.
Even though Bannon is against Francis, his
reasons have nothing to do with homosexuality. Martel
said about Bannon and his right-wing fight against Pope Francis:
“He thinks like me that the battle is no
longer played in Rome between pro-Francis cardinals who would be gay or
gay-friendly, and anti-Francis cardinals who would be homophobic and
heterosexual. Everyone, on the right, as on the left, would be fairly homophile
or homosexual. Steve Bannon has no problem with this observation: he also came
to it himself. I suddenly understand the plan of Catholic Bannon. The Church
may have to abandon its moral positions on sexuality that are hypocritical,
anachronistic and, given the large number of gay cardinals in the Vatican,
schizophrenic.”
By their perspective, the Catholic Church
is divided between left-wing homosexual Catholic priests who want to liberalize
homosexuality and right-wing homosexual Catholic priests who want to keep the
Catholic doctrine about homosexuality.
The problem is that regardless if the
homosexual priest is left-wing or right-wing, homosexuality is connected to
sexual abuse of boys. The
evidence is the Catholic Church itself, where multitudes of boys have been
raped by homosexual priests. If Martel is correct in his view that there
are left-wing and right-wing homosexual priests in the Catholic Church, it
follows that boys have been raped by left-wing and right-wing homosexual
priests.
Pope Francis is open to socialist causes,
including homosexuality, because he is open to Liberation Theology and he
has been very harsh against conservative Christians opposed to the gay agenda.
Left-wing homosexual Catholics support him. Right-wing homosexual Catholics
oppose him.
Yet, both left-wing and right-wing homosexuals
should know that in the Bible God condemns all homosexuality, regardless
ideological issues. Both left-wing and right-wing homosexual sinners cannot
inherit God’s Kingdom.
Francis was wrong to say that “homosexuals
are children of God.” To be a child of God, a man must first receive Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord of his life. Only after giving his life to Jesus does
he become a child of God. The Bible said,
“To all who did receive him, who believed
in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12 ESV)
So while a man does not accept Jesus’
deliverance and salvation, he is only a creature of God.
The removal of Francis and left-wing
homosexual priests from the Vatican will not remove the problem of
homosexuality in the Catholic Church as “conservative” homosexual priests sin more
silently, even abusing boys. If the Catholic Church wants to solve its
homosexual problem, it should not tolerate open left-wing homosexuality and
silent right-right homosexuality, because both victimize boys.
