So what happens when a holy priest declines to bless homosexual relationships. Does the priest get cancelled? This is an open door resulting in the persecution of holy prelates. Every priest is now on the front lines. If he blesses a sinful relationship, he has violated his own conscience and the longstanding teaching of the church’s tradition and scripture.
It probably results in Pope Francis having them removed. Why would it not? That’s what he’s done to anyone else that attempted to oppose him.
No priest can bless a homosexual union without committing a mortal sin
Exactly!!!!! The document is ambiguous. Like so many other documents in recent decades.
@@michaelmorris3286 according to Vatican 1, session 4, No clergy or layperson can reject the ordinary power of the Roman Pontif. This includes matters of “subordination and true obedience, and this not only in matters concerning faith and morals, but also in those which regard the discipline and government of the church.” If you reject this, the call in Vatican 1 is for you to be Anathema. Inconvenient reality, but If Pope Francis is wrong, then so is the entirety of the Catholic church.
My heart is breaking💔from this awful news.
The Blessed Virgin has warned of how the church is going to suffer greatly from her sin, from the pope down. I didn’t ever think I would be seeing this in my lifetime, but here we are. Satan is working overtime!!!
Please pray the rosary, go to confession, spend time in adoration For the church and pope and our world.
Lord have Mercy on us!
The churches suffering, because of the division caused by the spreading of propaganda/misinformation, and those seeking to split from the church - acting like protestants and schism, against our holy father. All we have to do is merely do our own research instead of believing Clickbait headlines.
genuinely what is the problem with same-sex romance like you do not have to interact it has nothing to do w u
The Pope is incrementally moving towards a approving gay marriage. This is similar to what happened with the military. First it was “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Then they began accepting openly gay soldiers. Now, “Gay Month” is celebrated on military bases. It took about 20 years, but once people got used to each step, they moved to a more extreme step.
There was nothing bad about the don't ask don't tell policy being removed. It was one of the best moves the military did.
I had great troops and saw fellow service men being treated terribly because it was discovered they were homosexual. It was disgusting listening to NJP settings where a service member was booted from the military because of who they loved.
@ShiniGuraiJoker there was nothing bad about removing it? Have you seen today's woke military? It's a total joke with their LGBT commercials and men wearing women's uniforms and paid sex change surgeries. It seems if you open the door a little bit, the degeneracy will increase exponentially.
Exactly. Its a gradual step strategy by the rainbow lobby
Thank you Father and Mr. Royal for speaking the Truth with Charity. Let us pray for Our Church. JESUS HAVE MERCY ON US!
I pray Fr. Gerald will not get canceled by the pope. He is a courageous shepherd.
It is no wonder that the Pope removed Bishop Joseph Strickland from his post in the Diocese of Tyler, Texas. Bishop Strickland would not bless this “Union” and would speak against its existence 🙏🏻🕊✝️🕊🙏🏻
Pope even fired Cardinal Burke from his residence and took away his pension. Only satan follower would do this. I am worried about how Cardinal Burke is surviving.
Dear Bishops, please join the faithful Bishops who are being punished for being faithful to The Church and The Teachings of Jesus. We sheep are waiting for all you Shepherd s to speak up. The Bishops in Africa are a witness to our Faith 🙏🏻🕊❤️
Totally agree they should follow Bishop Strickland. If all or at least a majority unite with Bishop Strickland what can the Vatican do? writing to my bishop to encourage him to unite with Bishop Strickland.
cindymccabe3989: What can they do? Remove every bishop that refuses to obey PF's unbiblical, unCatholic Directive. May they have enough fortitude to resist. (Galatians 1:6-10) Then after all these good bishops are removed by the Counterfeit church in power, we Catholics get busy growing holy in the Catholic Underground Church. The Synodal Counterfeit church is built on sand and will crumble, all in God's timing. God will deliver His Church and that will be a glorious day. The joy of the Lord is our strength!

In a few weeks I wouldn't be surprised if you see gay couples coming to the Church to get a blessing with flowers, music, a photographer, and family. It will look just like a wedding. The Pope is chipping away at the sacrament of marriage.

We’ve had priest punished in our diocese for not going along with the secular religion. Refusing to bless these unions could result in loss of their parishes. I’m sure this is what they want. Few in the hierarchy seem to care for actual people.
What another silly thing for Pope Francis to endorse. What logical conclusion did Pope Francis expect some to come to? And, how in the world can anybody make distinctions between liturgical blessing and a "blessing" A blessing for what?
Its better to say NO then jeopardizing your own soul. I believe there will be a division of RC church, the faithful priests vs satan's priests. Stop sending our offering to support the Vatican which is corrupt. Pope had 10 years to destroy our faith.
@@VABE81030Maybe one should read the document versus jumping to conclusions. A priest can versus a priest must are two very different things. His Holiness is not mandating anything. He's giving an option to. Besides what business is it of yours. There are more than 1600 sins in the Bible, but you seem to have a problem with one over that of all else. Shouldn't you be more preoccupied with your own sins versus that of another.

Thank you Fr Murray for a clear teaching .
The Pope hasn't lost his mind. He is very sane and fully aware of what he is doing. The Pope has willfully embraced Secular Humanism to appease those who are enemies of the Church. May God have mercy on his soul.
The pope is pro-abortion, also will probably bless same sex anything getting married. He also said there is no HELL. The last one was roughly ten years ago. So glad I left the catholic church at sixteen. Cheryl.
As a Protestant who is interested in the Catholic Church, I appreciate these breakdowns and discussions.
Here’s the actual truth, sin is not being blessed. The person(s) is/are being blessed not because they’re righteous, but to come out of sin and grow to be more holy. Sadly even well-meaning Catholic news outlets are eating the confusion of satan.
Prayers for your journey, and I do understand. The misinterpretation of the document being spread through Catholic news caught me off guard until Fr. Mike cleared it up by referencing the actual document, which is being taken out of context by our own Catholics.

I predict that same-sex couples will purposely come forward to have their relationship blessed, so as to weed out those priests who are willing to, or not to do so.

This is why, much as tradition is important, it can never overturn scripture. Scripture is absolutely clear on this topic.
Wrong analysis. The solution is not to choose between tradition and scripture, but to find the Church where Tradition and Scripture don't contradict each another.
And that's the orthodox Church, the Church of the origins.

Jesus mentions in Mark 7 that the leaders of his day “let go of the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men.” He says in verse 13 that “you make the word of God invalid by your tradition that you have handed down.”
Jesus said at John 17:17: “Your Word is truth.” He used the Scriptures to rebuke Satan at Matthew 4:4,7,10. Tradition didn’t help him, the Bible did.

My God! What is happening? I’m devastated. I’ve been trying with all my heart and soul to try and justify Francis modus operandi. I’ve finally hit a steel wall. I will with God’s help stay in the Church. Lord Jesus, come to our aid: O Lord make ( express) haste to help us.
Me too… I defended him when all the Catholics online and in my city were calling him a false pope. However it’s now clear that he is an evil man. Pushing people further into sin is the work of the anti Christ.
gerrymccarthy: I'm a lifelong Catholic. Be assured the authority of the pope has always been limited. He only has the authority to pass on and preserve the Faith of the Apostles as we recite in the Creed each Sunday. And no pope has the authority to say that unrepentant sin is okay in order to "accompany" and "be pastoral". Saint Jerome says, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of God." If we know our Catholic Faith received from the Apostles and the Scriptures, we will recognize truth vs falsehood. Pope Francis uses ambiguity all the time to make it sound like he's sort of Catholic and then contradicts himself a few days later. Ambiguity always hides a hidden agenda. In contrast, Jesus always spoke the truth clearly.
Read 1st Timothy ch 3 and 4 and how the church is so to be and how it warns about people demonly inspired and forbid their people to marry and sustain from certain foods.I don't believe the catholic church is the first church .
If you are worried examine the Seventh day Adventist faith. It is very good.
God bless our faithful priests. May they always remand faithful and holy.
If they are stunned on monday morning, they are a bit behind the power curve, we have been watching this coming for a while.
Actually, it was just a year ago that the Vatican gave us false hope that this would not happen: " One cannot bless sin." But then after this Synod on Synodality thing, they say, well, actually, yeah, we can bless "imperfection." Redefine everything and it's all good.
This is disturbing.
Hope Holy Ghost protect our Church from any error, there are souls at risk.
The gates of hell shall not prevail against our holy church- rest at ease and trust God.
I am at a total loss with this. What has happened to our church?
It's called Modernism, Liberalism, Freemasonry, Homosexuality, and Marxism. That's what's happened in the Church.
Vat2 and all that followed after, irrespective of who sat on the papal chair.
thomasmakin: Have no fears. Christ is the Bridegroom and the Catholic Church He founded is His Bride and He will take of her like He has for 2,000 years. Scripture warns us of times like these and that it would be only a Remnant of true believers. Know your Catholic Faith, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and He will deliver His Church in His own timing. Maybe it's time to follow the example of the true Catholic Church in China which is the Catholic Underground Church. Their Counterfeit Catholic Church is the globalist Patriotic (Communist) church just as in Rome the infiltrators have established a globalist, Marxist Synodal church. As the early Church Father Saint Athanasius said, "They (the Arian heretics) may have the buildings but we have the Faith." 98% of the Bishops were Arian (like present day Jehovah Witnesses) and St. Athanasius was exiled 5 times for teaching the truth about the Holy Trinity. Well as always God's truth will win out and the exiled person became a Saint. He did not waver.
❤ Father Murray!!!
Every blessing by a priest is a solemn act in persona Christi -" in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost". Such acts would offend the Holy Name and cannot be done.
I hope more and more priests speak against this out loud.
It is a ploy to charge priests with hate crimes if they refuse to bless whomever and whatever. And further undermine the churches' stance on morality. Priests must resist even if it means jail.

There is no such thing as 'commandments' for the moral and thinking mind. The moral and thinking mind is interested in reasoning, ethics, and truth ... not commandments.
Amen. This Pope the head of the church is leading the flock in sin & destruction.He is not following Jesus. Going out on His own. The Bible says he will be accountable, but I don’t think he reads the Bible or else he would know.
victorjcano: Repentance of sin in our lives is the first necessary step towards love. God Who is love and truth (2 inseparable sides of the same coin) said, "If you love me you will keep my Commandments." Any committed lifestyle of fornication, adultery, robbery, belonging to drug gangs, sodomite couples, abortion doctors, alcoholism, etc. The emphasis is on the word "lifestyle" with no intention of breaking that lifestyle. Highly recommend the Scriptures in the 3 Books of 1,2 and 3 John.
We need a new pope ASAP.
He is an antipope. I’ve believed so since the beginning as he made it clear quickly.
The true Catholic Church has existed for 2,000 years made up of saints and sinners the wheat and the tares. This pope is abusing his authority and no Catholic has ever had to obey anyone who asks them to agree with sin. Galatians 1:6-10 exhorts us to hold onto the official teachings of Christ received from the Apostles. Scripture warned us there would be times like these. The Catholic Synodal church the world accepts as Catholic is in fact the Counterfeit church under this pope. The true Catholic Church will probably eventually go underground with their good bishops and priests. The Synodal church is built on sand and will not last. Meanwhile our job is to keep our eyes on Christ our Firm Foundation and His 2,000 years of unchanging teaching for "Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13 :8)
This POPE is toast! Ignoring the Bible & the Catechism which defines it as a disorder is RIDCULOUS!
GOD cannot bless ANY SIN!! This is heretical nonsense! And people who bless it are DELUSIONAL! Bless SODOMY???? RIDCULOUS....

This is utterly incorrect.
@@richardgreene6810 Question. Why is this document necessary if one understands the tenets of the One True Faith?
@@paxchristi2248 The Church finds it necessary. And as it has binding and loosing authority on this Earth, it knows better than you or I what is necessary. Do you have a problem with that?
Regardless of the guidelines outlined in the document it specifies that a same sex couple can request a blessing. What's deceiving is on one hand saying, "we cant bless the sin," yet the sin exists because of the couple. So how do you allow the COUPLE to request a blessing? Let it be the individual. Why specify couple? It doesnt make sense. If I rob a bank with an accomplice can we request a blessing as partners in crime? It just seems like they are deceiving us with semantics and being slick with words. Anyone who has to do these gymnastics with words is up to something imo. We as Catholics deserve so much better than this garbage theyre giving us. People are dying for deep Christian spirituality but instead they're feeding us the LGBTQ+ agenda every week. Which is surprising when the vast majority of the abuse that has taken place in the church has been homosexual in nature. This should not be such a constant and central focus for the church. No gay marriage. Move on! Good grief it's exhausting.

If a priest blesses the anniversary of a same sex couple being together isn't that affirming the living arrangement? Can't imagine a priest would bless the anniversary of a heterosexual couple living together? The Pope is spreading more confusion.

It is sinful for a straight unmarried couple to be in a sexual relationship, but a same sex couple gets a blessing?
As if anyone actually cares when straight unmarried couples have pre-marital sex. Catholics have some of the highest birth rates out there, and they're notorious for "starting early", if you know what I mean. Half of my Catholic family members conceived at least one baby out of wedlock. It's like it's a Catholic tradition or something.
The difference is when a Catholic, straight couple has a baby out of wedlock, all they have to do is commit to receiving the sacrament of "Holy Matrimony" and then they're back in God's good graces again. Doctrinally, gay people of faith don't have that option. They're not even offered a remotely fair equivalent. Their "option" is to either "choose" to be celibate for life, never experience physical or emotional intimacy with another person, never even entertain the thought of falling in love with someone they're attracted to because all gay romantic love is labeled as "lust"... Or burn in hell forever. How is that not a blatant double standard?
Lightning struck the dome of St. Peter’s TWICE when Benedict announced his resignation (forced?) , now we know why.
I am so saddened. So sorry that this has happened in my lifetime. What a disgrace.
What is worse is the fact that the pope, and priests, have acknowledged “Transgenderism”. They have their investments in this crap. If children are put on puberty blockers for the entirety of their lives, imagine the money to be made! This is not “Compassion” it is pure EVIL. Yet no one talks about it.

Please read the full document, you will be able to understand more. With the Declaration “Fiducia supplicans” issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, approved by Pope Francis, it will be possible to bless same-sex couples but -**without any type of ritualization or offering the impression of a marriage*. The doctrine regarding marriage does not change, and -**the blessing does not signify approval of the union.**After analyzing blessings in Scripture, the Declaration offers a theological-pastoral understanding. Those who ask for a blessing show themselves “to be in need of God’s saving presence” in their lives by expressing “a petition for God’s assistance, a plea to live better” (par. 21). This request should be received and valued “outside of a liturgical framework”.Declaration affirms that **this kind of blessing “is offered to all without requiring anything,” helping people feel that they are still blessed despite their mistakes and that “their heavenly Father continues to will their good and to hope that they will ultimately open themselves to the good” (par. 27).

You should be rejoicing then, because the declaration clearly says a priest cannot bless sin. Mr. Royal and Fr. Murray are deceiving you.
Let’s set this straight. It’s one thing for you to ask a priest to bless you, it’s quite another thing to ask the priest to bless your sins; the pope says the Church cannot bless your sins, but it can still bless you; that the blessing may bring the grace you need in your life. Here, read what the pope said again:
“the Church does not have the power to impart blessings on unions of persons of the same sex. … one should neither provide for nor promote a ritual for the blessings of couples in an irregular situation. At the same time, one should not prevent or prohibit the Church’s closeness to people in every situation in which they might seek God’s help through a simple blessing. . . . there is no intention to legitimize anything, but rather to open one’s life to God, to ask for his help to live better, and also to invoke the Holy Spirit so that the values of the Gospel may be lived with greater faithfulness.”
