God bless Cardinal Zen and our Church in China which seems to be going down with the so called Vatican agreement which no one knows what it is all about.
Thank you, Raymond!
A very brave and wise cardinal
Great discussion insights. As a born-again Catholic with a profound conversion 16 years ago, the wisdom of Saint King David burned in me as he said to his son King Solomon before his death, "Take courage and be a man. Keep the mandate of the LORD, your God, following his ways and observing his statutes, commands, ordinances, and decrees." We are in a moral crisis today, caving into the woke agenda and failing to heed the commandments of God, especially the 6th commandment. Pray for the conversion of hearts to know the sacredness of marriage and the sanctity of life. The world is passing, but Christ remains forever. Appreciate the heroic virtues of Cardinal Zen standing up to the truth.
What do you mean by a born again catholic?
@@jroff7475 Born by the Holy Spirit from a lukewarm cradle Catholic with a 180-degree conversion like Saints Paul and Augustine.
God bless this good Cardinal. He gives me hope for our church.
Gos bless the Cardinal!
Wish this cardinal becomes the next pope. He is so wise.
Please come to the Philippines Cardinal
I gonna buy his Book , he is a real Christian Hero he must be the Roman Pope
Cardinal Zen ❤❤❤🙏🙏
Hence we teach and declare that, by the appointment of our Lord, the Roman Church possesses a superiority of ordinary power over all other Churches, and that this power of jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff, which is truly episcopal, is immediate; to which all, of whatever rite and dignity, both pastors and faithful, both individually and collectively, are bound, by their duty of hierarchical subordination and true obedience, to submit, not only in matters which belong to faith and morals, but also in those that appertain to the discipline and government of the Church throughout the world, so that the Church of Christ may be one flock under one Supreme Pastor through the preservation of unity both of communion and of profession of the same faith with the Roman Pontiff. This is the teaching of Catholic truth, from which no one can deviate without loss of faith and of salvation
We cannot change the sacrament, that means changing the religion which makes it not-the-Way. Sin cannot be blessed, can only be confessed.
Personally, I only do the Tridentine Mass, because it gives me a way deeper sense and meaning. I have no problems with the Novus even though I prefer the Novus in Latin.
There are two reasons:
1. it avoids the priest to step outside the actual Mass.
2. Latin is a sacred language and apparently, according to exorcists priests, demons hate Latin
I live in Canada bro, i dont even think they have it here. Well i am an Eastern Catholic so atleast i have that
How about a segment on the history of antipoes and why they were declared such. Oh wait until the next Pope to not be punished for freedom of speech in the USA. I understand.
The Priest gives every person in the congregation a blessing after the Mass. So, a special document for blessing same-sex couples and couples in irregular relationships was totally unnecessary. Why was this document written then? It seems like Satan is behind this latest document on blessings. Interesting how this ambiguous document came out right before Christmas. God is not the Author of confusion.
REMEMBER " THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST JESUS'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
The time has come to devide as Moses did.
Reject in every way Francis ideology. Do not fear. If he is doing his way and so many priests of the world also their own way . Then why you true priests afraid of doing Jesus way ? Synod is wrong totally. You don't have the decerment of Holy Spirit?

This is not blessing no confusion. Simply pope Francis s strategy of Francis and his associates to destroy the church tradition.
The same-sex couple ‘blessing’ causes a number of questions.
Why is it couple blessing if “People are blessed; not the union”?
What is a homosexual couple seeking by asking for a blessing?
What is the Church offering in response?
What is the Holy Spirit called for and what is exactly being blessed?
What is a spiritual purpose of such a ‘blessing’ and what sort of a particular help it intends to provide?
Love and acceptance can make miracles of soul transformation, and Pope Francis' vision on the same-sex unions seems to be about love and acceptance. Yet, the same-sex couple blessing would make sense if the Church dumps viewing the same-sex relationship per ser as a sin. Without that, such a 'blessing' appears conflicting and self-contradictory.
The entire issue of the homosexuality as such and the sin does not look straightforward at all.
For example, some people refer to Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them". Does this mean that about 4% of human population should be now "put to death"? Would it be a proclaimed Christian way of love and acceptance? Would it be compatible with the words of our Lord: "Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone" (John 8:7)?
Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 6:9,10 was talking specifically about "men who have sex with men" with the intention to just satisfy their lust, but said nothing about homosexuality as such.
The Holy Scripture condemns sexual lust in all its appearances - ‘traditional’ and ‘pervert’, but says nothing at all specifically about homosexuality and same sex people, who want to live together in love and faith.
Nevertheless, this unlikely defends the incompatibility of the same-sex couple blessing with the current Church doctrines and policies.
Faithfully yours,
bishop Vincent Berg.
Very sad that a Bishop cannot read and understand Fiducia Supplicans. I as a mere woman have read, understood and submit to the wisdom of the Pope and the Magisterium as explained in the declaration and the follow-up clarification.
@@thetruthbrigade007 God is not changing, but His earthly church and our understanding of God and His ways must be developing. It is why we have from Him the Old and New Testaments, prophets, teachers, etc. - to help our souls in reaching the most achievable harmony with God during our material existence. This development can only be completed with the cessation of our material life, and to stop this changing would mean our spiritual death before the material one.
"Right is Right even when no one is right and Wrong is Wrong even when everyone is wrong" relates to the existence of the absolute antagonists - the Absolute Right and the Absolute Wrong, which are always totally separated. There is nothing wrong in the Right, and there is nothing right in the Wrong.
In every human being and in human world they are never separated but coexist. Human right always contains something wrong, and human wrong always contains something right. Human life is always some proportion of wright and wrong and their compromise. It is why our perception can deceive us in distinguishing right and wrong. Right can be perceived as wrong, and vice versa. Nothing is absolute and straightforward in our world.
Our vision of God and His Holy Scripture can be deceitful too. It is why we need spiritual thought, wisdom and vision. Being dogmatic, self-righteous and judgmental are unlikely signs of them.
We do not need to be afraid of disagreements and even mistakes. It is natural for the humans. We should be alarmed when we are lacking ability of spiritual consideration and thinking together and replacing them by self-righteousness and hostility.
Am not confused that the pope indirectly also blessing the SIN itself. Let us pray for the pope because he is in confusion...
The Supreme Pontiff is doing no such thing. That is slander against the sitting Vicar of Christ

MASS OF POSSESSION OF THE CHAIR OF THE BISHOP OF ROME
Saturday, 7 May 2005
“The Pope is not an absolute monarch whose thoughts and desires are law. On the contrary: the Pope's ministry is a guarantee of obedience to Christ and to his Word. He must not proclaim his own ideas, but rather constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to God's Word, in the face of every attempt to adapt it or water it down, and every form of opportunism.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW? "THE POPE IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE MONARCH"
Cardinal Fernandez must resign.
Why are we not using the lens of the gospel to understand the pope? When it comes to Francis we must use a wide brush and not get caught in the details and miss what he's about. He in a way is leaving the 99 to the wiles of the wild to go after the lost sheep. It wasn't popular for Jesus to defend the woman caught in adultery and where was the man!? At least at these blessings both sinners are present. If these blessings are not ending with, "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord and to sin no more," there is a problem. It is easy to stand with the accusers but who's conscience is open to not casting stones. Were those present not have been convicted of their own sinfulness be sure Jesus Himself would have been stoned moreso than the woman. Greater is what is written in the dust on the ground than in the unforgiving stone tablet. One can be easily edited whereas of the other a strike in error, the mar cannot be erased. Don't be so quick to be inflexable.
Pope Francis is very clear, as is the document, that marriage is for man and woman alone, to be open to both love and life and that no other sexual union outside of this, gay OR straight, can be blessed by God! Yet, those couples in these disordered unions can be blessed individually! Those who claim Pope Francis teaches heresy and error, are themselves ignorant of Catholic teaching and Canon Law and Holy Scripture! As lies were told of Jesus Christ at His trial, so too even now of Pope Francis by modern day elders! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink
He shouldn’t be called Holy Father
And you shouldn’t be called Roman Catholic. That is a schismatic statement
Like the stages of the gay community.
So sad all EWTN does now is tear down the church. Very sad.
Grace and Peace,
To all the supporters of World Over, the confusion and chaos is caused by this channel. Fiducia Supplicans remains clear and unambiguous. There are no national or regional Bishops Conferences that have rejected FS. Their statements of a Magisterium Declaration have provided other flock, a teaching that laity can understand.
Cardinal Zen, this news channel should apologise to you for stringing you along.
+Pax Christi
Chrissobolewski5509 - "Fiducia Supplicans remains clear and unambiguous". that is the first lie as the whole world is outraged with it, including not only laypeople but priests, Bishops and Cardinals. The second one "There are no national or regional Bishops Conferences that have rejected FS". - The African Bishops have rejected to the point where Card Fernandez has to excuse them from it - In other words, it doesn't apply to the Continent of Africa. Incredible!!!!!!!!!! To your credit you didn't dare accuse the holy Cardinal Zen of any wrong doing. At least you have some sense left..
Roman Catholic Church! Please open your Catholic Bibles and read out loud ROMANS CHAPTERS 1 AND 2; ROMANS CHAPTER 10: 8-10. This awful confusion about the FS Edict will be gone.....heed to the Bible and forget who said this.....who said that.....eta eta.
The late Pope Benedict XVI failed to act on sexual misconduct of priests and ignored those, not Pope Francis. His holiness is doing his best! God bless Pope Francis! ❤🙏✝️
In the yin and the yang and all that's wild thing , all is convolution as Moa would say in the iron rice bowl of our basic instinct and there are two paths the mozi can mozi on which is the low path over the golden gate bridge or the high path over the golden gate bridge...the low path which where all the dikes and ferries cross over which is where foot traffic and vehicles of sin cross over or the high path over the golden gate bridge is where all the priests must cross over which is the actual top of the cables holding the bridge up where the eond and rain and sheer vertigo exists when like Qwai Chang Cain you snatch the pebble from the master's hand before you emblazen the tiger and dragon upon your forearms to get free orange chicken for life every time you come into Panda Express and tbey see the scars of tiger and dragon upon your forearms to signify your power and glory to the common peasant of rice paddy to glorify your exalted existence of Shaolin number one for all komodo dragons like kim jong UN and Xi Ping to fear and revere and the common man and woman who wishes to remain common will do so if ybeir lifestyle persists as such as to impediment their eternal advancement otherwise and Pope Francis and Cardinal Victor are to be commended for taking sich bold action especially in light of all heathen confessions to date and are willing to give peace pf mind to people they ste lovable snd forgiveable notwithstanding their sexuality and the love and destiny of mankind is the wisdom of Solomon putting pepple to work who other wise have poor standing....
Two of you hate Pope Francis so much 😂
@Mercy,..PF hates Jesus Christ by saying "Jesus is a failure"
@@conce-ss5mg 1. please give source and context of what you claim.
2. On judgement day, if it is revealed that Pope Francis does not hate Jesus as you claim, you will be punished for baring false witness against pope Francis.
3. May God bless you and bring you and open your eyes to the truth
@@ndumferdy2545 maybe you didn't listen to his speeches. And also by praising the artist who submerge Jesus into his urine- do you think PF is in love with Jesus?
There is a difference between hating someone vs speaking the truth. I dont know why Pope speaks in soft language
@@conce-ss5mg you disrespect Jesus more than the artist by talking smack about the sitting Vicar of Christ
Whoo is Feared frome his God's that some on can Loott lega his blessings ? Tell him be confident with selfe blessings and satisfaction with satisfied, competition is not at playground place butt that's are ? Donn scoor withought plaser and peace fillings, must lie live with mosquito kissing love as my ID ? Dont know ? Gumsuda ki talash men application to Jesus's court only,
