@publicdomainglasspebble9700The fiasco could also have been averted by changing “blessing of couples” to “blessing of individuals in irregular relationships.” That way priests would be encouraged to pray with these couples but bless each person individually, not as a pair. However, that is NOT what FS is about. It requires priests to have one intention (of blessing individuals) while using gestures that express another intention (blessing a relationship). The Pope did not change Church teaching but has changed Church practice in a way that is causing confusion and misunderstanding. The Holy Spirit will protect Church teaching, but Popes can still make errors in judgement re. Church discipline and practice that others have to clean up later.
@publicdomainglasspebble9700 They’re blessing the pair as a romantic couple not as friends. Regardless of intentions to bless them as individuals, extending one’s hand over them as a pair can’t help but lead them to think their romantic relationship is being blessed. Yes a pope can make errors in directives on church practice or discipline. He cannot reverse doctrine. If he tries to, it won’t be valid and it won’t endure. This is why many think his teaching on capital punishment was not a valid declaration or change, for precisely the reason you laid out.
Same here, from this confessional Lutheran. If the Roman Church falters on this, it will make life very difficult for other Scripture-affirming Churches.
So let me get this straight, Pope Francis banned and/or restricted the (most) faithful from praying the mass that was utilized for 1500 years while simultaneously now blessing couples in sinful Union? 😢 I am starting to understand why the SSPX exists.
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 It can also be misconstrued as an approval to sin. Don't be naive. That's how the gay community is taking it - the Church giving homosexuals the right to get married. That is not true, of course, but that's how the greater society takes it. And it's dangerous.
Mr.Raymond the document Fiducia Supplicans must be withdrawn unconditionally as it goes contrary to the fundamental teaching of Christ in the Bible and the traditional doctrines of the Church based on the Biblical teaching. So the Pope and the doctrinal office is causing confusion in the Church by going against the unchangeable teaching of Christ. IN GOD"S NAME I urge the Vatican not to distort the teachings of Christ
@@gloriamarquez7999My friend, that is the WHOLE POINT of the document, i.e., to offer persons in sinful relationships a blessing *so that* they get the *actual grace* to repent! That literally is the whole point of the document.
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 There is already something in place for that kind of situation. The Sacrament of Reconciliation not only grants the actual grace to repent, it also forgives the sin, and restores the merits of good works obliterated by sin, thus placing the soul back into the state of grace. It's a good sacrament, more powerful than same-sex blessing. There's no need for FS at all.
The biggest damage that Francis is causing is that he has made it almost impossible to evangelize the truth of Catholicism. I feel the rug has been pulled out from under me. How can I help the homosexual get free if the church appears to approve it? The ambiguity is causing a huge problem with my evangelizing. I have been pretty quiet during Francis pontificate. God help us!
I was thinking the same thing! Then that led me to think about other saints, like st Padro Pio, and Bishop Sheen, what would they say about this! St Padro Pio always defended the Holy Father, even when he was being reprimanded himself. But he also could read people like a book, he had a gift to see the truth of people's hearts and motivation.
As Catholics we still believe that the Pope leads the church on the path to God. It could be cheap gossip that haters of the Catholic church like to spread to undermine our faith to arouse hatred and damage our good hearts. We can't just believe it, it's better if we pray for help from Mother Mary, Mother of Jesus and the Mother of the Church to protect the church from all evil desires that want to destroy the Catholic Church.

The enemy continues to infiltrate our church. When are the faithful going to wake up. Catholics all over the world must practice their faith. Go to confession, stay in a state of grace. Pray the rosary. Stay close to our Lord God Jesus Christ and our Queen, Mother of God, the Blessed Immaculate Mary. PRAY PRAY PRAY especially for our Priests. Stay strong in your faith. No one can take that away from you, no matter what. ❤🙏

You dumb Catholics are the problem. "Let's pray for them" that's a stupid comment, you don't think he knows what he's doing? You're praying for a false prophet, what's next You're gonna pray for lucifers conversion?
They had invented with Fiducia supplicants a new "product" (for new "customers"), the "spontaneous blessings" vs "liturgic blessings"...The new service only would last "about 10 or 15 seconds"...Now we have different levels of blessings... Please, this is not serious. All of us form the Catholic Church, and we must rise our voice to preserve the institution and their values. Fiducia supplicans must be withdrawn.
If FS is wrong, as you assert, would withdrawing it suddenly have your faith in the Church restored?? I suggest a better route is to consider that you're misunderstanding what the Church is actually teaching in FS here, and the misrepresentations of it by this show is not a good place to go to for clearing up the misunderstanding.
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 @blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 I have faith in the Church because I am not the only one, there a lot of priests, bishops, cardinals, and dioceses that have the same opinion. The press release was wroten because of that opposition, not because they need a better explanation. We want Fiducia Supplicans to be retired. You talk about misinterpretation, because I guess that you think that you interpretate it correctly. Catholics must talk and not be silenced because these are very disturbing times with a lot of changes of the civil society, the Church is not in its best moment, and we can bite the dust with a few more little changes like that one. Church will survive anyway, but we must discuss these changes. FS is a big change, it wasn't submitted to consultation, and was released in a record time since Fernández designation. If you revise the CV of Víctor Manuel Fernández, you could checked that is the less experienced person in past years to that post.

The same-sex couple ‘blessing’ causes a number of questions. 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. Faithfully yours, bishop Vincent Berg.

I was hoping for a discussion about Benedict XVI writings and wisdom. How sad! Wasted opportunity. Pope Benedict XVI would have appreciated the discussion and a debate about the arguments. His writings are a wonderful legacy for all of us
This is the only released document of the Holy Catholic Church that when released was immediately rejected by most if not majority of the Bishops.Something to seriously ponder on.
This is only first step ,to perform weddings for same sex couples .This should never happen.Pope Francis is sending us horrible message.We need to pray hard to save the Church.Lord have mercy on us.🙏🙏🙏
No, let us not pray that. Rather, let us pray that we all, as children and students of Holy Mother Church, be given the grace to humbly and with docility receive the teachings of Holy Mother Church, as given through our Holy Father, Francis, lest we, in rejecting the Successor of Peter, we reject Christ.
What they are saying is that it is OK to sin in private and to received the blessing of that sin in private also. This is the doctrinal narrative of Satan!

With due respect to Cardinal Fernandez his 5 page clarification is true that it’s not a clarification but more confusion about this Fiducia Supplicans document. The Blessed Virgin Mary said that His Son’s Church is full of wolves as lambs.She said that the ship is in shipwreck and splitting into two.
Holy God determined by creation, natural law and biology that only a man and a woman can be married. A priest cannot bless that which God refuses to bless.

Pope Francis must rescind the Fiducia Supplicans to avoid confusions and scandal in the Catholic Church. Blessing of same sex union defies canon law which is not the sacrament introduced by Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit govern the mind of our Pope.
I completely agree that we (America) can learn from the African Priest. There are two that I have met when I visit the Hershey and Elizabethtown area in Pa and I love their passion for the faith! It is a beautiful thing❤
The only true pastoral blessing is to teach those couple God's truth and to help them to get out of a sin that may cost their lives, eternal lives! There is no patting on the shoulders as if nothing wrong they commit and God in some new sentiments would bless them anyway!
I think Vatican tried to satisfied the already German bishops producing this document and avoid their split with the Church. But on the other side as Fernandez so Francis have underestimated the church in Africa, Poland, Hungary, Kazachstan, Peru, Brasil and Ukraine hoping they can somehow get out with all their twisted explanations on that document.I myself as many people I know was considering to return to this Church after years of other experiences in the Evangelical movement. What Francis approved has stopped us from coming back to the Roman Catholic Church. Pope should reseign and the document totally erased and in spiritual realm by repentance by a new Pope!

Why doesn’t Pope Francis address this himself? Does he even know what his secretary is doing? Can these bishops go directly to the pope? Is the pope getting manipulated? Just throwing this out there.. let us pray for Pope Francis and for all our priests 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Here is clarity: Two homosexuals living together is a scandal. It is an occasion of sin. The sin of homosexuals is an abomination. To call down God's blessing on two homosexuals is blasphamy and sacrilege. The priest incures sin and becomes unclean. Such a blessing denies the sinners af the love of correction. You can not bless a sin and correct it at the same time.

6:28 Excellent point! If a group asked a priest to bless them as the head off to commit a crime, would he do it? Wouldn’t he instead counsel them, perhaps pray with them, but withhold his blessing? A priest can certainly pray with these couples then bless them as individuals. According to FS that’s supposed to be their intention, so the gestures should match that intention. Lex orandi, lex credendi.

Now, either they will revoke this or the Church will split in half or even more than half on the side of God's truth!

Wonderful show all around, Raymond! Phil Lawler, along with the Papal Posse, and Eric Sammons of Crisis Magazine, are my favorite Catholic commentators. They are brilliant, courageous, balanced, and always faithful sons of the Church. Really enjoyed the Rob Schneider interview, and the replay of the Abp. Ganswein interview, from which I picked up on a lot more subtleties than I did the first time I heard it. Happy New Year to you, your family, and TWO crew!
First of all, a couple in an “irregular/homosexual” relationship doesn’t even THINK they’re committing sin, so why bless someone who doesn’t plan to change? I suggest that they attend RCIA first. If after that, they decide to change their way of life, THEN bless them. Problem solved.
There is no confusion unless some of you are persistent to keeping on confusing. If ordinary Catholics like my self, is not confused, why are you? You, some priest or you who are leading this program you are the source of confusion. Start to act like Catholics should! Unite, don't divide!
This is very wrong the Church is ever Holy Roman Catholic and it cannot bless sin it will remain for ever Holy and a Holy Priest cannot bless sin his work is to forgive sins full stop
This clarification adds more confusion. All the problem started with the German Catholics, they are not moved in the least by these immoral blessing. The Germans and the Belgians have determined to be Christians on their own terms not of Christ. Let’s listen to other Germans that are true followers of Christ as Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Muller. Let’s pray that more courageous bishops came forward and denounce this document, in a mean time god bless Poland, Hungary, the bishops of Africa and the Holy Orthodox Church.
Pope Francis has to be resisted. I will not call him names but I will say that he is compromised. I love the African Bishops. They may indeed save the church.

Everybody needs a blessing not all actions get to be blessed. Everyone likes it when people feel positive about them. Even a sneeze merits a blessing. Only God can give the blessing ultimately!
There is a unique quality in the state of poverty or what is often labeled as being "outdated" by our supposedly enlightened Western society. In our claimed enlightenment, we find ourselves in the position of criticizing Christ and His Mother, deeming them too inflexible and mistaken.
The gentle language I find repulsive. Just give a harsh no to sins so that the person can work on breaking free. “Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no”

What about Priests having worries of conscience? No concern for their needs is evidential! Will the next thing be that those who do not do this will suffer ex-communication for being somehow disobedient?
If FS cannot be rescineded, it should be done NOT by ordained clergy but by Extraordinary Ministers, as in, EMHC of holy communion. Outside the church's premises, of course, and no sign of the cross or invocation of the Blessed Trinity.

a while back Pope Francis got mad at the germabn Church synodal not condemning it but saying they were moving too fast ahead of the church and so should waitl and do it at same time
That's one way of looking at it. Unfortunately, that's how the greater society looks at it, especially the gay community. They think the Church has given them the right to get married. Just wait till they start "demanding" this right. There'll be a flurry of lawsuits if one or two partnership is denied this "right."
Rob Schneider is blessed with the twinkle, cause of how much Our Lord loves him, through his mother’s prayers? His father’s inheritance of the chosen people? Even if Rob didn’t realized how much talent Our Lord had given him? I just saw Kevin James do a rosary with Eduardo Verástegui, in 3 languages. So, Rob will possibly will quickly learn to pray in Latin soon as well. It’s just pure mesmerization. It will be a great testimony to see Rob, Kevin, Eduardo n who knows whom else? To doing the rosary. God bless EWTN, n all its members. 01/10/24.
This pope is a source of horrible confusion. He makes converting anyone to the true faith virtually impossible.

The emerging photos of blessed homosexual relationships look scandalous and this is the problem. These problematic photos justify why the faithful are rightfully upset.
Blessing same sex will tantamount telling the subject that the Priest and or the Church is happy/approving the immoral acts you do. God the Father in His message to our group during our Praise and Worship replied to my quest re this blessing “this will not happen”. It meant to me “not acceptable”.. pls be guided by the apostolic teaching. His word is the same today , yesterday and tom.

As a lifelong Catholic, I am very sorry to say that Pope Francis has caused much confusion and failed to uphold the one true holy apostolic church as given to us by Our Lord Jesus. His mission should be to uphold the teachings of the church and not give his personal political and cultural opinions under the guise of a Synod. I think he should retire.
I like that Rob Schneider (re)converted to Catholicism, but am I the only one who remembers that he agreed to the AmFest slot? Most actors aren't quite so sharp when it comes to sociopolitical matters. What makes him any different?
I looked into all the information available on the Shroud of Turn and concluded it was a gift from Jesus to the people living in this time, when the technology would be available to reveal the reality of this miracle. I reverted to the Catholic faith at age 72 and regret all the years I wasted looking for God in all the wrong places.
The African Bishops have not been confused at all - they see this for what it is and they reject it for the blasphemy that it is.

Sodom & Gomorrah. Jesus the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I rest my case.
A M E N! Go to Confession, if You REALLY want to change & STOP sinning. Otherwise, no "blessing" will help someone get to HEAVEN.
Blessings can aid in moving a soul to repentance. This is the whole point of Fiducia Supplicans.

Mr.Raymond the document Fiducia Supplicans must be withdrawn unconditionally as it goes contrary to the fundamental teaching of Christ in the Bible and the traditional doctrines of the Church based on the Biblical teaching. So the Pope and the doctrinal office is causing confusion in the Church by going against the unchangeable teaching of Christ. IN GOD"S NAME I urge the Vatican not to distort the teachings of Christ
You have not read it at all what a shame… do your research
@@StAquinasPrayForUsThese couples should REPENT & GO to confession ASAP...because NO one is promised tomorrow!!!
@@gloriamarquez7999My friend, that is the WHOLE POINT of the document, i.e., to offer persons in sinful relationships a blessing *so that* they get the *actual grace* to repent! That literally is the whole point of the document.
Amen! Stand with Christ
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 There is already something in place for that kind of situation. The Sacrament of Reconciliation not only grants the actual grace to repent, it also forgives the sin, and restores the merits of good works obliterated by sin, thus placing the soul back into the state of grace. It's a good sacrament, more powerful than same-sex blessing. There's no need for FS at all.
Raymond all they did is window dressing it. God Bless all those that resist it. I pray they keep doing so..
The biggest damage that Francis is causing is that he has made it almost impossible to evangelize the truth of Catholicism. I feel the rug has been pulled out from under me. How can I help the homosexual get free if the church appears to approve it? The ambiguity is causing a huge problem with my evangelizing. I have been pretty quiet during Francis pontificate. God help us!
There was your red flag. Now Cdl.VMF says no Bishop has the capacity of refuting the document.
🤷
but how almost is not right at all@@kathrynmcmorrow7170
I read all the comments and wonder what Mother Angelica would tell us about our Holy Father. Mother Angelica, pray for all of us.
I was thinking the same thing! Then that led me to think about other saints, like st Padro Pio, and Bishop Sheen, what would they say about this! St Padro Pio always defended the Holy Father, even when he was being reprimanded himself. But he also could read people like a book, he had a gift to see the truth of people's hearts and motivation.
As Catholics we still believe that the Pope leads the church on the path to God. It could be cheap gossip that haters of the Catholic church like to spread to undermine our faith to arouse hatred and damage our good hearts.

So sayeth everyone who calls himself a Christian.
THAT'S WHAT THE POPE IS DOING
There shouldn't be a need for a clarification. Church teaching should be clear and unchanging.
They were clear. Outlets like "The World Over" for some reason misunderstood something very clear and it was they who fostered confusion. "Fiducia Supplicans" is hardly difficult theology.
You know this odious little squeek venerates Trump but thinks he loves Jesus 😂
Yeah right, they are so clear that many of the bishops, canon lawyers are rejecting it.
The confusion is deliberate. In the garden of Eden, Satan to Eve “you will not die”. Sounded good.
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 should they bless polygamists ? Why not? How about transvestites wearing pretty dresses??
It's about time that the faithful begin to say "NO" to Bergoglio. They need to say "NO" regarding ending the Latin Mass as well.

The enemy continues to infiltrate our church. When are the faithful going to wake up. Catholics all over the world must practice their faith. Go to confession, stay in a state of grace. Pray the rosary. Stay close to our Lord God Jesus Christ and our Queen, Mother of God, the Blessed Immaculate Mary. PRAY PRAY PRAY especially for our Priests. Stay strong in your faith. No one can take that away from you, no matter what. ❤🙏

So, tell me, are you awake to the fact that Trump is nepotistic, egotistical, and something of a huckster, like a New York version of Edwin Edwards?
If a Vatican document was clear from the start, why would it need a 5 page subsequent clarification? Now it seems the clarification will need a clarification. Wrap your head around that one!
Because the devil is real and distorting the truth and attacking the church.
These bishops must repent, turn to God for forgiveness. Mathew 7:13-14 says the narrow is the gate, not everybody will enter and have eternal life.

CARDINAL FERNANDEZ AND POPE FRANCIS ARE TYING THEMSELVES UP INTO KNOTS. OUR LADY, UNTIER OF KNOTS, PRAY FOR THEM.
Fernandez is gay!
You dumb Catholics are the problem. "Let's pray for them" that's a stupid comment, you don't think he knows what he's doing? You're praying for a false prophet, what's next You're gonna pray for lucifers conversion?
🙏 🙏 amen
They are being clear here for those who truly want to see the clarity.
😂🤣😅, yes - agree 🙏
Pure sophistry from the Vatican on the “blessings”😢🙏🙏
They had invented with Fiducia supplicants a new "product" (for new "customers"), the "spontaneous blessings" vs "liturgic blessings"...The new service only would last "about 10 or 15 seconds"...Now we have different levels of blessings...
Please, this is not serious. All of us form the Catholic Church, and we must rise our voice to preserve the institution and their values. Fiducia supplicans must be withdrawn.
If FS is wrong, as you assert, would withdrawing it suddenly have your faith in the Church restored?? I suggest a better route is to consider that you're misunderstanding what the Church is actually teaching in FS here, and the misrepresentations of it by this show is not a good place to go to for clearing up the misunderstanding.
@@blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 @blessedvirginmaryisqueen8448 I have faith in the Church because I am not the only one, there a lot of priests, bishops, cardinals, and dioceses that have the same opinion. The press release was wroten because of that opposition, not because they need a better explanation. We want Fiducia Supplicans to be retired.
You talk about misinterpretation, because I guess that you think that you interpretate it correctly. Catholics must talk and not be silenced because these are very disturbing times with a lot of changes of the civil society, the Church is not in its best moment, and we can bite the dust with a few more little changes like that one. Church will survive anyway, but we must discuss these changes. FS is a big change, it wasn't submitted to consultation, and was released in a record time since Fernández designation.
If you revise the CV of Víctor Manuel Fernández, you could checked that is the less experienced person in past years to that post.

Long live the TLM!
Why don't they go to the confession instead of asking for blessing. Poor couples, please open your eyes before its too late.
Just as Peter was opposed to his face in Antioch when he was clearly in the wrong, the faithful bishops on this matter need to oppose Francis.

The same-sex couple ‘blessing’ causes a number of questions.
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.
Faithfully yours, bishop Vincent Berg.
More word salad....Confusion is of the devil...😔🙏📿 Deliver us, LORD, from every evil...😢💔

I was hoping for a discussion about Benedict XVI writings and wisdom. How sad! Wasted opportunity. Pope Benedict XVI would have appreciated the discussion and a debate about the arguments. His writings are a wonderful legacy for all of us
This is the only released document of the Holy Catholic Church that when released was immediately rejected by most if not majority of the Bishops.Something to seriously ponder on.
This is only first step ,to perform weddings for same sex couples .This should never happen.Pope Francis is sending us horrible message.We need to pray hard to save the Church.Lord have mercy on us.🙏🙏🙏
It's pretty unusual how they reneged on the saying no more declaration.
And that's their final word!
Fernandez is openly gaslighting Catholics at this point.
And burning himself.
I think they did know. Our African priest asked for a leave of absence days before this came out. Our bishop met with the Pope last month at Vatican.
Great program ! as always. Thank you. Happy New year.
Let us pray the Lord take Francis and install a holy pope who loves God and works to do His will. Amen.
Remember the Lord is in control. Nothing surprises him. Let us rebuke any evil thoughts or wishing evil on our neighbours.
@@markpeter1968Actually, there was a Saint who preferred her sons to die, than to commit a Mortal sin.
No, let us not pray that. Rather, let us pray that we all, as children and students of Holy Mother Church, be given the grace to humbly and with docility receive the teachings of Holy Mother Church, as given through our Holy Father, Francis, lest we, in rejecting the Successor of Peter, we reject Christ.

The TRICK of this document is that it equates homosexual couples to heterosexual couples.
I pray the evil and wickedness of The Novo Ordi Mass of Pope Frances and his vipers of Cardinals and Priests will come to an end. We long for the truth and sacred tradition. The Pope is silencing the most devout priests but has Cardinals of iniquity
Don't worry, the Novus Ordo Mass is neither evil nor wicked. Get ahold of yourself and stop panicking.
With due respect to Cardinal Fernandez his 5 page clarification is true that it’s not a clarification but more confusion about this Fiducia Supplicans document. The Blessed Virgin Mary said that His Son’s Church is full of wolves as lambs.She said that the ship is in shipwreck and splitting into two.
Holy God determined by creation, natural law and biology that only a man and a woman can be married. A priest cannot bless that which God refuses to bless.
If they are condoning same sex couples, will they soon condone the homosexuality within the church that has completely broken our hearts.
Ridiculous. I’m not confused. A sin is still a sin. How can we go against 2000 years of Church teaching in a misguided notion of being pastoral?

I live outside Washington D.C, African priest have been serving here for 10 to 15 years,……………….
Pope Francis must rescind the Fiducia Supplicans to avoid confusions and scandal in the Catholic Church. Blessing of same sex union defies canon law which is not the sacrament introduced by Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit govern the mind of our Pope.
Remember this is not affecting only “priests”, Deacons also will be asked for blessings. The problem is more widespread.
I completely agree that we (America) can learn from the African Priest. There are two that I have met when I visit the Hershey and Elizabethtown area in Pa and I love their passion for the faith! It is a beautiful thing❤
thank you for valuing us
The only true pastoral blessing is to teach those couple God's truth and to help them to get out of a sin that may cost their lives, eternal lives! There is no patting on the shoulders as if nothing wrong they commit and God in some new sentiments would bless them anyway!
I think Vatican tried to satisfied the already German bishops producing this document and avoid their split with the Church. But on the other side as Fernandez so Francis have underestimated the church in Africa, Poland, Hungary, Kazachstan, Peru, Brasil and Ukraine hoping they can somehow get out with all their twisted explanations on that document.I myself as many people I know was considering to return to this Church after years of other experiences in the Evangelical movement. What Francis approved has stopped us from coming back to the Roman Catholic Church. Pope should reseign and the document totally erased and in spiritual realm by repentance by a new Pope!

God bless those Bishops. Revelation of Our Lady of Akita, a continuation of Fatima.
Why doesn’t Pope Francis address this himself? Does he even know what his secretary is doing? Can these bishops go directly to the pope? Is the pope getting manipulated? Just throwing this out there.. let us pray for Pope Francis and for all our priests 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Seems the Supreme Pontif has kept a lower profile moving forward?
Here is clarity: Two homosexuals living together is a scandal. It is an occasion of sin. The sin of homosexuals is an abomination. To call down God's blessing on two homosexuals is blasphamy and sacrilege. The priest incures sin and becomes unclean. Such a blessing denies the sinners af the love of correction. You can not bless a sin and correct it at the same time.

6:28 Excellent point! If a group asked a priest to bless them as the head off to commit a crime, would he do it? Wouldn’t he instead counsel them, perhaps pray with them, but withhold his blessing? A priest can certainly pray with these couples then bless them as individuals. According to FS that’s supposed to be their intention, so the gestures should match that intention. Lex orandi, lex credendi.

no matter what Fernandez and his coalition tries to excuse or to explain about this document , spiritually they have opened and did it with a full conscience and purpose a door for for further deception and continuation of that sinful move in the Church. Now, either they will revoke this or the Church will split in half or even more than half on the side of God's truth!
Why the debate? No blessing for homosexuality according to the Bible.
I mean why crucify Jesus if he indeed were a blasphemer, right? Just bless him in a non-prominent location of the temple, and send him on his way!
Pope Francis also terminated bishop Daniel Fernandez from the county of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Bishop Fernandez was not giving any opportunity to defend himself or given any reason for the termination of his administration.

Wonderful show all around, Raymond! Phil Lawler, along with the Papal Posse, and Eric Sammons of Crisis Magazine, are my favorite Catholic commentators. They are brilliant, courageous, balanced, and always faithful sons of the Church. Really enjoyed the Rob Schneider interview, and the replay of the Abp. Ganswein interview, from which I picked up on a lot more subtleties than I did the first time I heard it. Happy New Year to you, your family, and TWO crew!
First of all, a couple in an “irregular/homosexual” relationship doesn’t even THINK they’re committing sin, so why bless someone who doesn’t plan to change? I suggest that they attend RCIA first. If after that, they decide to change their way of life, THEN bless them. Problem solved.
There is no confusion unless some of you are persistent to keeping on confusing. If ordinary Catholics like my self, is not confused, why are you? You, some priest or you who are leading this program you are the source of confusion. Start to act like Catholics should! Unite, don't divide!
So what motivation would a gay couple want in getting a blessing together?
Just perfect political double talk. "The clarification will be final as soon as a new clarification is issued!"
FS version 2.0
This is very wrong the Church is ever Holy Roman Catholic and it cannot bless sin it will remain for ever Holy and a Holy Priest cannot bless sin his work is to forgive sins full stop
This clarification adds more confusion. All the problem started with the German Catholics, they are not moved in the least by these immoral blessing. The Germans and the Belgians have determined to be Christians on their own terms not of Christ. Let’s listen to other Germans that are true followers of Christ as Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Muller. Let’s pray that more courageous bishops came forward and denounce this document, in a mean time god bless Poland, Hungary, the bishops of Africa and the Holy Orthodox Church.
Pope Francis has to be resisted. I will not call him names but I will say that he is compromised. I love the African Bishops. They may indeed save the church.

Everybody needs a blessing not all actions get to be blessed. Everyone likes it when people feel positive about them. Even a sneeze merits a blessing. Only God can give the blessing ultimately!
There is a unique quality in the state of poverty or what is often labeled as being "outdated" by our supposedly enlightened Western society. In our claimed enlightenment, we find ourselves in the position of criticizing Christ and His Mother, deeming them too inflexible and mistaken.
If a Catholic married couple requests a bkessing, should they first admit that they do not practice chemical birth control?
The gentle language I find repulsive. Just give a harsh no to sins so that the person can work on breaking free. “Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no”

I see now more clearly why previous pope stepped down with the worldly push of sin into the catholic church.
Remember that Christ paid the price once for ALL
What about Priests having worries of conscience? No concern for their needs is evidential! Will the next thing be that those who do not do this will suffer ex-communication for being somehow disobedient?
If FS cannot be rescineded, it should be done NOT by ordained clergy but by Extraordinary Ministers, as in, EMHC of holy communion. Outside the church's premises, of course, and no sign of the cross or invocation of the Blessed Trinity.

Somebody must be nervous this time. They don't usually offer any 'clarifications'....
I could imagine the U.N./ IMF etc and U.S.A. imposing very heavy financial penalties against those African Nations...
Many of our TLM priests are from Africa.
a while back Pope Francis got mad at the germabn Church synodal not condemning it but saying they were moving too fast ahead of the church and so should waitl and do it at same time
We can't bless sin but we can bless a sinner so that they continue sinning?!
That's one way of looking at it. Unfortunately, that's how the greater society looks at it, especially the gay community. They think the Church has given them the right to get married. Just wait till they start "demanding" this right. There'll be a flurry of lawsuits if one or two partnership is denied this "right."
Lord Jesus pls forgive us our sins n have mercy on us. Pls come soon n save Your people,amen.
Rob Schneider is blessed with the twinkle, cause of how much Our Lord loves him, through his mother’s prayers? His father’s inheritance of the chosen people? Even if Rob didn’t realized how much talent Our Lord had given him? I just saw Kevin James do a rosary with Eduardo Verástegui, in 3 languages. So, Rob will possibly will quickly learn to pray in Latin soon as well. It’s just pure mesmerization. It will be a great testimony to see Rob, Kevin, Eduardo n who knows whom else? To doing the rosary. God bless EWTN, n all its members. 01/10/24.
This pope is a source of horrible confusion. He makes converting anyone to the true faith virtually impossible. How can we say to them that the Truth is the same yesterday, today and forever, when he keeps making it appear like the church can be molded to the times it lives in? May the Merciful God save the church from this scourge!
The emerging photos of blessed homosexual relationships look scandalous and this is the problem. These problematic photos justify why the faithful are rightfully upset.
Blessing same sex will tantamount telling the subject that the
Priest and or the Church is happy/approving the immoral acts you do. God the Father in His message to our group during our Praise and Worship replied to my quest re this blessing “this will not happen”. It meant to me “not acceptable”.. pls be guided by the apostolic teaching. His word is the same today , yesterday and tom.

This is indeed a clever and subtle move by the devil
Archpatriarch of the orthodox church has made a statement that this will end a reconciliation of orthodox and rc churches
El PECANDO NO SE PUEDE BENDECIR Y PUNTO.
As a lifelong Catholic, I am very sorry to say that Pope Francis has caused much confusion and failed to uphold the one true holy apostolic church as given to us by Our Lord Jesus. His mission should be to uphold the teachings of the church and not give his personal political and cultural opinions under the guise of a Synod. I think he should retire.
Oh wait, the best is yet to come.
What is the meaning to bless same sex couples.?
The Church of listening applies to everyone except the Vatican.
I’m pretty sure Pope Francis needs Jesus.
I like that Rob Schneider (re)converted to Catholicism, but am I the only one who remembers that he agreed to the AmFest slot? Most actors aren't quite so sharp when it comes to sociopolitical matters. What makes him any different?
I looked into all the information available on the Shroud of Turn and concluded it was a gift from Jesus to the people living in this time, when the technology would be available to reveal the reality of this miracle. I reverted to the Catholic faith at age 72 and regret all the years I wasted looking for God in all the wrong places.
They all should read the Bible and learn what is right!
Pray that Pope resign now as he is not fit to follow Christ teaching. He is bringing division to the church🙏🙏
Totally agree. We need new pope
From Africa
In God's own time. God knows what's going on. It's His Church.
Explain this to me. My son’s wife left him with 4 children for another women. Is this really ok?????? I am confused!!!!!
This is not come from the teaching of Christ...it comes from the devil's
It is the most dirty sins God has made Adam and Eve God will send Pope Francis to hell
The Devil is a liar...a DECIEVER....AND he is dressed as a cardinal in the Vatican....please forgive me God if I'm wrong.
