I’m sick and tired of the media screwing the pope’s words.
He does sound like a hypocrite.

i'm sick of the Pope's words
Then stop watching it and stop complaining
Both liberal and conservative media twist our Pope Francis’s words. Much love and respect to you Holy Father!

Do you think all those molestations by priests are fake?
Matthew 23:9
King James Version
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
@@CitizenSoldier500 yet St. Paul goes on to call himself a spiritual father late on in his letters! This argument is so 1985 meaning it’s tired and debunked. My turn:
John:6:53
“Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.”
@@CitizenSoldier500 St. Paul regularly referred to Timothy as his child: “Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ” (1 Cor. 4:17); “To Timothy, my true child in the faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord” (1 Tim. 1:2); “To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord” (2 Tim. 1:2).
He also referred to Timothy as his son: “This charge I commit to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophetic utterances which pointed to you, that inspired by them you may wage the good warfare” (1 Tim 1:18); “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:1); “But Timothy’s worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel” (Phil. 2:22).
Paul also referred to other of his converts in this way: “To Titus, my true child in a common faith: grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior” (Titus 1:4); “I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment” (Philem. 10). None of these men were Paul’s literal sons. Rather, Paul is emphasizing his spiritual fatherhood with them.
There you go, thats from the head of the Catholic Church dispels all those distortion of what the media were saying.
Except the document also refers to them as a couple and blesses their relationship. This wasn't a twisting of words it's a document meant to be a giant motte bailey argument to provide for the blessing of gay unions while retreating I to "orthodox" dogma
@@Deathbytroll Can you show me the exact line in the document? Show me the line number and reference it for the record.
@@gregorypilau3530 section 3 paragraph 31 plus the preface. Plus the end of paragraph 39. Several times it refers to same sex couples asking for a blessing and blessing the relationship.
Those words aren't accidents and already grants a degree a validity to an disordered relationship. These aren't things that have been "twisted" but are in the document
@Deathbytroll The teaching, as reaffirmed by Pope Francis, remains the same. Blessing is for everyone regardless of who you are. What people like you want to believe is that the church has changed its teaching, i.e., the sacrament of matrimony to include gay couple. That's completely wrong. The document says otherwise, to bless whoever gay couple if they ask , it does not say to bless them in a union of matrimony as a sacrament of marriage. That is completely out of touch with Catholic teaching. Perhaps you need to understand how the church defines matrimony and the sacrament of marriage. Otherwise, continue to be a bigot.
@@gregorypilau3530 I'll also do you one better. If the document was the same for every word except it changed our same sex couples for incest or pedophilia would you still say it's okay?
Hint: if you don't you're not being honest
I love Pope Francis but I hate the accursed media for distorting his position.
he won't let women be priests - he's a sexist
Same here
Nah. They call it what it is. We can not endorse sin. This wouldn't have happened 500 years ago
@@GoldenAgeofCODso you want an interrogation before every blessing and for priests not to bless for a saintly life
@@GoldenAgeofCOD nope - homosexuality is found across the animal kingdom - it is part of the natural world - if ur religion contradicts known provable science - then guess what? It's wrong and you should let go of it - the world leave behind
We understood FS was a reflection of the Lords mercy on sinners and opening the way to recieve Gods grace and overcome sin. We understood you well and we stood by you as our Pope defended your honour and the leadership as head bishop of the church of God. We love you and God bless you and protect you from every evil.
Faithful Catholics stood with Pope Francis from the beginning! :D
@@matthewoburke7202 yes we sure did God bless you
Amen!

PAX CHRISTI 😇
Idk why people are making up lies about the pope. Even a dog can get a blessing. Priests bless so many random things like cars and houses and anything you can really think of. The pope never said that the church allows same sex marriage, just that gay people can receive a blessing…which is something literally anybody can receive regardless of their sins.
Exactly...
But i want a help from you to explain why catholics bless everytime everything.
My mom blesses me before i go out
@@Eliyah-My_God_is_YHWHIt's a sacramental. Your mom is asking God to protect you and guide you.
Numbers 6:
22The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23“Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,
24The LORD bless you and keep you;
25the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Prove to me there is any such thing as a blessing ! Its a made up thing like a voodoo curse, doesnt exist!!!!!
Amen
Gay people could always receive a blessing yes. But the document allowed for a blessing of a gay couple. That is what is being criticized. Because the Catholic teaching is that God cannot bless sin.
Love him, and I’m not even religious nor gay!! What he said was absolutely true and correct and he’s just got it right!
0:14 👍🏻 Thank you very much 🙏🏻😇
Great! I love him too, and you are right, he is correct. You should consider becoming Catholic, because the Pope is the successor of Peter and Vicar of Christ :D

@CrystallyLavender
Did you also watch the full interview?
@@matthewoburke7202 You're saying you should become catholic because of the pope? No sir.
Jesus says, "repent and believe in the gospel!" Mark 1:15 and Matthew 4:17, because we are sinners and the judgment is coming when He returns.
Was never fooled by the fake news media, but very disappointed in members of the church that fell for it without even one glance at the Document. Prayers for Pope Francis 🙏 ❤
Never fooled by the fake news media? There's nothing "fake" about this guy giving priests the green light to "bless" two homosexuals who walk into a church seeking "blessing" AS A COUPLE. As the alleged "Vicar of Christ", he should know that he's supposed to be telling these people to repent of their homosexual activity. But you're right about one thing - prayers are definitely needed for a man who ignores the clear teaching of Scripture on this matter.
@@johnclaiborne2749 oh please. Maybe clear the wax in your ears thats preventing all the logic to travel to your brain. Here let me simply phrase if for you "bless the sinner not the sin". Or are you so blind and greedy that you dont want to give blessings to any sinners who are seeking repentance?
If you cant distinguish the differences between blessings the individual from the Sacrament of Marriage, than you need a new church.
@@First-Name No, Einstein, we're to call sinners to REPENTANCE! Are you even vaguely familiar with that term? What's next? Maybe some unhappily married guy walking into church with his mistress so the two of them can also receive a "blessing"? Pull your head out of the sand. This shouldn't be that difficult to understand.
As a queer person, I respect this. I'd rather not force people to accept me just like I would not religion to force itself upon me. I do, however, want to be treated with dignity and I think his stance has done that.
Religion does not force itself on you. Christianity is about accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Then following what God wants and has planned, not what you want or have planned.
Homosexuality is a sin and should not be accepted. Transgender is saying God is wrong and also should not be accepted. You have every right to not be Christian but you cannot claim to be Christian while rejecting God like you do. I pray for people like you. Not to be accepted but for you move away from sin like we all need to.

@@CitizenSoldier500 1 Corinthians 4:15: "For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel."

Submit to Rome prot
The one that you must call holy father is the one in heaven not pope Francis he is only human not a god , because there is no holy human we all are sinners
We are so back!
I would like to think so but let's not get too excited. People are erratic these days.
Pope Francis has been pretty clear on this topic, but it’s NOT what many people want to hear, so they keep twisting what Francis actually said in desperate hope he will change his mind. Homosexuality is a sin, always has been a sin, and always will be a sin.
@johns1834
To those I would clearly say: *"One cannot teach an old dog new tricks!"*
Even if it is a sin, are we not all sinners for whom God's only son died to forgive us from?
@@Ava-wu4qp
Actually re-reading johns1834's OP after you commented, what he wrote is rather ambiguous and inconsistent. It does not clarify what he himself actually learned from "Fiducia Supplicans", how he will operate in the future and how he will explain it to others.
@@therealong The "Fiducia Supplicans" is actually very clear, however, it is not what people want to hear, so the twist it to mean something else. Regarding your other comment; YES, we are ALL sinners and the only thing that matters is whether or not we recognize and acknowledge our sin, repent, and try not to sin anymore.
@@johns1834
It wasn't I who wrote the second comment. You will have to reply to *@Ava-wu4qp* yourself.
I know everything about FS, I've commented almost daily since November last year on almost all videos and to all of those who twist it and "don't want to hear it".
That is because they 1) either don't understand it, or 2) have not read it, or 3) have not understood it.
The last possibility is 4) they *do not want to understand it* .
Therefore, quoting from your first comment //Homosexuality is a sin, always has been a sin, and always will be a sin.// how is the reader supposed to understand what *you* understand? Thanks.
Remember those who accuse the pope of heresy. Remember them and pray for them. For those who are with the Magisterium from day 1, you have been vindicated. It's never wrong to side with the Magisterium because we have the promise of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
I’m a Protestant but I always knew the media was portraying him as supportive of LGBTQ+ when in reality he wasn’t. Media takes a lot out of what he’s stated in the past. I’m also upset they ended the clip here.
You can even see it in this short clip. They intentionally cut him off at the end after saying that it's a human fact. The media wants people to think that he's going to say it's a human fact that it isn't a crime. Where it may not be a crime, it is in fact a sin to do homosexual acts.
Everything seems to be a sin.
The way I see it is don't judge people differently because they sin differently to you.@@Quint-ib4nf
Is there a full, unedited, version of this interview available for viewing?
It airs tomorrow night
Yes, anyone (even non Catholics) can go and ask for a blessing from a priest and it has always been like that. Then, there's no need for that document to be written as it created an opportunity for misinterpretation from both left and right sides. Then why was that written in the first place? Some priests have already taken the liberty to use that conclusion to bless homosexual couple as a union.
lol it's like you are saying "no need for this interview". the key is, read the document without prejudice
Mistranslation there around minute 0:43 - it isn’t „against the given right“, but his original Spanish words are „against the natural law“
That's right don't bless that union. 😅
I speak Italian and Spanish. The English translation is horrible.
I love this. The blessing is for everyone. Matthew 5:45 KJV That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” The Lord feeds the just and unjust. He is love. Jesus is Lord. The Lord is God. Psalms 100:3 KJV “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” Let Us Pray.
Even though I am not a religious person, still love his words. It’s a great to be able to learn from his wisdom. Personally I don’t have any prejudice or preference towards homosexuals, but I bless them to have a good life as well. Por que no.
I hope the Sunday 19th's full interview is finally published. I've already seen those short clips, but there is another one of mins 13: 39 that I haven't seen.
Glory to God and may He bless the Holy Father

Hi, 60 Minutes. Can you please release the original version of the interview without an English speaking translation of His Holiness Pope Francisco?
You can watch it this coming Sunday, May 19 at 7:00 PM, ET on CBS. But the full interview will only confirm that "His Holiness" has already abandoned what Scripture clearly teaches regarding homosexuality.
@@johnclaiborne2749
How long is that full interview? The mins 13: 39's one maybe?
And why are you keeping on saying the Holy Father has already abandoned what "you think" Scriptures teaches regarding homosexuality?
Didn't you hear the journalist was "surprised" that the Holy Father hadn't changed anything as she supposed he had?
It's a manner of address to convey a show of respect and politeness for a community, position, or office. Even when one doesn't share the same beliefs of others.
This post's intention was not intended to express someone's approval or position over catholicism and sexuality nor about any institutional practices.
@@therealong First of all, it's NOT what "I think" the Scriptures teach. The prohibition and condemnation of homosexuality is crystal clear, and seen throughout Scripture. So why did Francis foolishly say, "Who am I to judge?" when asked about homosexuality? If he was a true shepherd, he'd make it his priority to communicate to unrepentant homosexuals the eternal danger that awaits them.

True
May Pope Francis live forever. He is a holy man. Anyone who doesn't like him should leave the Catholic Church, including Bishops and Cardinals.

After my interaction with people, I came to a conclusion that gender doesn't matter at all, gentle temperament, good character and behavior is more important.
I myself got to experience triple trauma:
1.dealing with a narcissist and other mentally ill person
2.dealing with personality clash
3.dealing with other toxic behaviors
I feel like there are problems that need to be addressed like who will be married and are qualified to become parents, the issue on teenage pregnancy is also a problem...
The problems faced by our society have been brought by heterosexual people mostly..
Priests could already offer blessings to individuals, there was no need for guidance or a statement on this to begin with. And what happened? Fr. Martin couldn’t wait to offer a blessing to two men, who happen to be a gay couple in grave mortal sin, standing side by side. Looks like blessing a couple to me, and if it looks that way then it is scandalous and likely leading others to sin. Francis should absolutely answer for the confusion and continue to give clarification as to the reality of marriage in the Catholic Church.
1. 3 conditions are necessary for grave matter to be mortal sin. Revisit your catechism. You don’t have the gift of reading souls like St. Pio or St. Vianney.
2. This brilliant move by the Pope put guard rails on Germany and most likely prevented another Luther-like schism.
This was not meant for you, me, the media but for the German bishops who were blessing same sex unions. Someone released this to cause dissent and controversy, with the intent of malice. You listened to malice and evil instead with charity and wisdom
If you look on-line, you can find photos of priests "blessing" these homosexual couples as they wear some kind of "rainbow" attire, or as they're holding hands during the ceremony. Not only do these people NOT want to repent of their sin, they don't even want to acknowledge their homosexual activity as being sinful. And Francis is just adding fuel to their upcoming fire. It's TRAGIC!
How do you know those photos are truly from the Catholic Church though a lot of times on the internet they'll take what's going on from the Lutheran Church or the Angelican church and say it's the Catholic Church. The vestments look similar and ppl believe it's the Catholic Church. There is all types of wild LGBT stuff goin on in the Lutheran Church right now
@@therapper000 Yes, there are similar photos from similar "blessings"-ceremonies in other denominations, but there are definitely ones from the Catholic Church as well. So back to my original point. How could anyone NOT understand that a priest CANNOT bless a homosexual couple happily wearing "rainbow" attire and/or holding hands during the ceremony? That OBVIOUSLY demonstrates that they're not ashamed of their sin, and don't even want to acknowledge it as sin.
Former catholic here. My main job in life was to raise four children, stay loyal to my wife (47 years so far), take care of my elderly parents, and work in factories for nearly five decades for the sake of others. No pronouncement coming out of the Vatican aided my efforts in any way.
Hi. Remember that the prize is not on this world. The prize is for the next one. What prize are you working for?
He is such a dear, sweet man. Wish I could be as merciful as him
He claims to be the "Vicar of Christ", but he's deliberately ignoring and abandoning what Scripture says about homosexuality. That's NOT what a "dear", "sweet" man does. It's what an apostate does.

No way if you read the document you would actually have found that in the first place 😂
I just want priests who abused Fiduccia Suplicans and indeed blessed same - sex relationships and some of these couples were married, to be held accountable.
Here are the exact words from “Fiducia Supplicans” ("Presentation" section):
"It is precisely in this context that one can understand the possibility of blessing couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples without officially validating their status or changing in any way the Church’s perennial teaching on marriage." So when Francis tells us that these blessings are for the "persons" only and not the couple, he's either lying, or he's ignorant of his own document.
@@johnclaiborne2749
No, it's you the ignorant of the document and a liar in addition.
You are also guilty of bearing false witness and spreading it publicly, because you *"cut off all the rest"* and pasted only the 5 lines you liked of an entire document with footnotes, precedent articles and several separate explanations during the already past 6 months.
Moreover, the start you chose *"It is precisely in this context..."* doesn't mention what *"blessing context*" it is referring to, therefore the reader cannot understand what this blessing possibility is about.
You just read "couples" and automatically your brain tells you *"union"* as in marriage, matrimony and wedding.
Strangely enough you also seem unaware of the full 44-mins version of this interview, and chose the 1: 05 minutes long one to crown your exemplary bravado.
Would you like to receive a medal, or something?
@@therealong Pull your head out of the sand and get a grip on reality.
(1) That's not the only place in the document that references "blessing couples". I can provide more quotes but I'm sure you don't care.
(2) I KNOW the document is not talking about these couples in the same way as a "union" (i.e. "marriage"), so stop with the foolish accusation that my "brain is telling" me something that I never claimed.
(3) The document referring (multiple times) to "blessing couples" directly contradicts what Francis is claiming in this video (at 0:21, that it's a "blessing" for the person).
(4) With these people in "irregular situations" (i.e. homosexual relationships), how can the "blessing" be separated from the call to repentance? We're not hearing "repentance"; we're not hearing "this is sinful, and God does not bless sinful relationships". Francis had previously stated, "Who am I to judge?" when asked about homosexuality. And that's the greatest tragedy with all of this. The man who calls himself the "Vicar of Christ" is ignoring Christ's, and the Bible's, clear teachings.
@@johnclaiborne2749
1) Here is your first broken-record narrative:
//how can the "blessing" be separated from the call to repentance? We're not hearing "repentance"; we're not hearing "this is sinful, and God does not bless sinful relationships"//
Others and I can hear it, you can't. I can't help you then. I already wrote a long comment to you.
2) Here is the rest, straw man and hogwash:
//Francis had previously stated, "Who am I to judge?" when asked about homosexuality. And that's the greatest tragedy with all of this. The man who calls himself the "Vicar of Christ" is ignoring Christ's, and the Bible's, clear teachings.//
You have no legs to stand on, and show no interest in learning either due to your haughtiness.
*Pride goes before the fall* as the proverb says.
Alternative: Go to Confession, be honest and perhaps the priest can free you from your obsession and "cognitive dissonance".
Pre-alternative: go look for an earlier OP here from *@abc5456* where I posted a long detailed comment on the 2013's "Who am I to Judge" dishonest spin out.

We can only bless others with the word of God, but it is up to God to bless the individual with his Gifts, the individual must follow God's word to be blessed.
Pope W
Left wing Media HUGE L
Romans 1:24-25
What does the Bible say about homosexuality in both the New testament and in the Old testament?
Homosexual sexual acts are referred to as sodomy, a sin that cries out to Heaven for justice.
Sodomy in both the old and new testaments is referred to as an act that is shameful and contrary to nature.
Those who commit such acts will not enter the kingdom of God, the same as all who commit sin. With that said, forgiveness through the blood of Jesus is a free gift on offer to all who repent and believe in the Gospel.
St. Paul says, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

Would you have answered like that if you both were publicly interviewed as a Pope on 60 Minutes?
Besides, note: Norah O'Donnell, didn't ask Pope Francis that! Just sayin
Why are some priests doing it then?
Cause preists are individuals that can do whatever the pope is against it
He did a two step on this…..what a politician!
@@mph1ish on the contrary, I am paying attention, are you? He’s saying very clearly that he’s not blessing the union, he’s blessing them as individual persons. He is abiding by Canon Law. I think he’s one of the best Popes but, Canon Law forbids same sex unions.
@angelasabatino5614
Although I don't understand what the two-step may refer to, I understand better from your comment to the *mph1ish* guy ( he has blocked me long ago 'cuz I disagreed with his take on Pope Francis).
Since 60 Minutes should post a fuller interview (due to Sunday 19th), besides these other few short clips, I'm wondering now if it might be the one of mins 13: 39 long. I'm going to watch it now...
@@therealong Essentially, Holy Father in his interview with Nora O’Donnell told her he could bless two people but not as a union. Canon Law does not permit it. However, if two gay men wanted to be blessed individually, the priest could bless John personally and he could bless Joe personally but not as a couple. A priest could do that…for anyone who asks for it. But not as a union. I don’t want to take away from His Holiness acceptance of homosexuality; that was very important. But…..no union blessing. He welcomes all to the church.
@@angelasabatino5614
As I have responded here and to others earlier, the word "union" has never been accepted by Pope Francis, rather denied; it's only language speculations that have been going on the media for months about the words "them, those, couple, pair" vs. "individuals". However, the meaning had been made clear by the overall text. Moreover, the Declaration *Fiducia Supplicans* of November last year, referring to "all irregular couples" also reiterated in black and white, incl. footnotes of previous documents, that *"the Church has NOT the 'power' to sacramentally 'unite' two person of the same gender!* So if you are referring to some paragraphs in the CIC, those would be the same and valid in all documents, as in what Pope Francis said in the interview. (That's why I still don't understand your two-steps politics!)
Another thing I'd like to point out is that the full-length interview was postponed and should be published Monday 20th, at an evening US Central Time. Probably on another channel also, which I don't remember the name... CBS, or something.
I'm on EU CET so when typing this reply to you, it's already 2:30 AM of Tuesday 21st. I'll watch it fully another time.
I hope this was helpful. Have a nice evening.
PAX CHRISTI 😇
@@therealong maybe I should clarify two step……a two step is a phrase meaning you don’t want to rock the boat. The Pope doesn’t want to alienate gay people from the church but, he also cannot allow gay marriage. Hopefully, this will clarify my meaning.
He believes in climate change also, so there ya go.
“Homosexual act it’s not a crime” they forget or they did it on purpose and cut the second part of this sentence. It’s not a crime but it’s a mortal sin!
@abc5456
It's *your* brain that *cuts* or *adds* what it doesn't wish or wish to hear!
Here the Holy Father never said //“Homosexual act it’s not a crime”//.
Referring to his on-flight 2013's statement "Who am I to judge?", the interviewer added the 2023's statement "Homosexuality is not a crime". And the Pope replied: "No, it's a human fact." Check --> 0:56 .
If you still haven't understood it, being a homosexual, *per se* , is not a sin; the sin only occurs in the act. The blessing is for ALL indistinctly (sinners or not sinners) as reiterated ad nauseam, and here at the very beginning. It's explained in detail earlier and in the Declaration *Fiducia Supplicans* , that for an irregular couple or relationship it's preconditioned by each subject's desire of complying with the Lord's *will* and thus receive the divine help needed to chastity.
The above should also clarify once and for all that the "Who am I to judge?" was *"cut out from its full context"* by the pesky journalists and since then abused, 'cuz the entire phrase was:
*"If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, 'who am I to judge?'"*
A priest in the Confession should be able to free you from this "cognitive dissonance", only if you desire it and are honest with yourself.
PAX CHRISTI 😇

only one can forgive your sin and it's not the pope nor a man in a box. it's Messiah
That's true, that's why in the Sacrament of Confession, it's Christ that forgives the sin, not the minister.
@@Pikminable no middle man required. we can go directly to Christ. He is the one that links you to The Father, not a tradition of man ceremony. ask yourself where these things are in scripture. did Messiah on the cross say , sorry but we need a sacrement ceremony to be with me in paradise? these are traditions and ceremonies that man made up. all we need do is pray and ask forgiveness. He hears you, just like he does a preist, pastor, minister, etc etc
@CitizenSoldier500 Did Christ not give the Apostles the capacity to forgive and retain sins when He breathed the Holy Spirit on them? All the sacraments can be found in scripture.
@@Pikminable thou shalt not worship graven images is in scripture as well although catholics erased it. pull up your 10 commandment as well as the protestant and original and compare them. protestant is identical to original and yours is changed by man, like a lot of catholic things
@CitizenSoldier500 The 10 commandments (or Decalogue) are presented in both Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Most protestants use Exodus 20 as the basis for the 10 Commandments, while Catholics and some other protestants base it off of Deuteronomy 5.
Either case, there are more than 10 "thou shalls" and "thou shall nots" in both sources, so they are grouped differently to make 10 commandments. Even the protestant version of the 10 commandments isn't the same formulation that the Jews used.

The blessing is for everyone. It’s no different than someone getting a blessing in the communion line.
Why not "stay obedient" to what the Bible clearly teaches regarding homosexuality? When the alleged "Vicar of Christ" abandons what Scripture teaches, you're not to "stay obedient" to one who embraces and promotes error.
@@johnclaiborne2749you don't know what a blessing is because you have no priesthood
@@nenabunena It has nothing to do with a "priesthood". The Bible tells us what "blessing" means. We see in Matthew 5 (i.e. the beatitudes) that it's the happy state of those who find their purpose and fulfillment in God; Romans 4:6-8 tells us that "blessing" is tied to those whose sins are forgiven; etc. You can't "bless" that which is sin, and you can't be "blessed" while refusing to turn from sin. You need to get a grip on what the Bible teaches.
@@johnclaiborne2749 And what Scripture did the Pope 'abandon'? Nothing he said has been against Church teaching. He never makes the claim that homosexuality is not a sin. Nor did he say that it's a blessing for the same sex union. He simply clarified that people who are in same sex unions can still receive blessings. Not of the union, but for the person themselves. Just like a non-Catholic can go to a priest and receive a blessing, so can someone who is in a same sex union go to a priest and receive a blessing. Just like a person in the state of mortal sin can receive a blessing, so can those who are in same sex unions. It isn't a blessing of the sin they are living, but that God's love and will move the person away from sin.
just as when Messiah told peter ''get behind me satan''. he's for things that God is clearly against. he is clearly of the new age movement like oprah, rick warren etc

@@johnclaiborne2749 The agenda is to put words into the Pope’s mouth that are not consistent with his belief or with the teachings of the Apostolic Church at all.
Pope Francis absolutely believes that homosexual acts, though legally not a crime, are indeed a sin and can send you to hell. This is fact. 60 minutes edits this truth, while asking him to reaffirm his quote of “who am I to judge?” They want it to appear that the pontiff embraces perverted acts committed by those in the LGBT community.
Homosexual tendencies are not a sin. Acting on those thoughts are, however.
@@frankmason1472 You need to take another listen. O'Donnell was asking about the blessing of same-sex couples, and the phrase “same-sex couples” is indeed what the text of “Fiducia Supplicans” identifies (in several places). And notice that Francis DID NOT answer O’Donnell’s question? She wasn’t asking if same-sex “marriage” is now valid in the Catholic Church. Francis ignores her question and says the “union” (i.e. “union” akin to the “sacrament” of marriage) cannot be “blessed”, but that’s NOT what O’Donnell was asking about.
The bottom line is that Francis has no interest in telling homosexuals to repent of their sin. He’s all about “inclusivity” - we need to just give these people a nice warm smile and not be concerned with the Bible’s warning that unrepentant homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.

Distorted the answer. Homosexual activity is a sin. The Church doesn't decide on crimes but morality and spirituality. Being homosexual isn't a sin but acting on it is.

Start focusing on your own sins and go to Confession and let the priest help you get free of your confused conceptual thoughts.

I'm going to interview all the people he harmed to keep it even with his lies. This is not a man for God, this man is of Satan.
Repent of your diabolical slander!
Malachi 2:2
If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.
If you bless unrepentant and defiant sinners presenting themselves as a couple, that blessing will be a curse. And if you bless someone to give them the strength to separate and sin no more, that is a rebuke, not a blessing. A couple presenting themselves as a couple for a blessing is akin to the man who shows up to the wedding feast in the wrong garment and gets kicked out. (Matthew 22).
I'm pretty sure you weren't listening to the Pope. Applying that passage to this is ridiculous.
Blessing someone to help them repent is still a blessing, and there is nothing wrong with that. If a gay person comes asking for God's help, then they can receive that blessing and it is good.
No one who presents themselves as a couple and seeks a blessing of their union can have that be done for them, and that's exactly what Francis said just now.
@@matthewoburke7202 First, you do not come before a priest as a couple, together, to help in repentance to separate. It's illogical and defies all common sense. It is inherently sacrilegious and scandalous.
Second, you intentionally misconstrued the situation. It's not "gay person" but gay couple. You're strawmaning me.
Third, the blessing of the couple is inherently the blessing of the union in accordance with 1 Corinthians 6:16: 6 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.
In the eyes of God, even the man and a prostitute are one flesh even if they're not married properly. Therefore, the blessing of them together, as a couple, is a blessing on the "one flesh" which is the relationship. According to 1 Corinthians 6:16, the couple cannot be split individually. Pope Francis is trying to split that which cannot be split according to Scripture. I dare you to respond with knowledge of Scripture, tradition, and church history, and some common sense.
@@steveempire4625 Again, the blessing, as Pope Francis said, does not bless them both together as a couple, but the two people individually. He literally says that verbatim in the video. So you are straw manning Pope Francis, I'm not straw manning you.
Yes I don't disagree that if you bless the two people together as a couple, this would validate their sinful union. But the blessing in question would not have anything to do with their relationship, except that the priest can pray for freedom from anything that does not conform to the will of God in their lives. It is a blessing that can be given to any person. It therefore would not validate a sinful union.
Pope did not say he allowed to bless the uninon as couples
@@matthewoburke7202 I have articulated myself well enough that what Pope Francis is suggesting is impossible. It's like asking whether God can create an object so heavy he cannot move it. It's a contradiction in terms. It simply cannot be split according to Scripture. Even if it could, it's an extremely bad idea.
If two people come to a priest together, presenting themselves together as a couple, this would validate a sinful union. The language of FS is the blessing of the couple, not individuals within the couple. And you're also wrong because FS makes claims that the Holy Spirit will enrich the good that which is in their relationship from these blessings. That claim is false, thus the motivation for the blessing is false.
This is an equivocation fallacy. What you are referring to is a "rebuke" which has a Biblical classification apart from a blessing. You cannot call a rebuke a blessing and a blessing a rebuke.
Double talk. You made a document saying they do not bless same sex marriges or unions. But if a couple comes to you, you still give them a blessing. In the sense of hoping it will make them change their ways.
You are still putting a blessimg on them, as a couple.
If I went to a catholic church and I was married and I had a gf. I took my gf to church and asked the priest to bless us, we are in a union together.
That dude is going to kick us out.
EXACTLY! And that's what I've been trying to get all of these Catholics to understand. We can find photos where Catholic priests are giving a "blessing" to a homosexual couple while they're wearing some kind of "rainbow" attire or even holding hands during the ceremony. That CLEARLY demonstrates that (1) the homosexual couple is seeking some kind of affirmation for their lifestyle (from which they refuse to repent) and (2) the priest is indeed blessing the COUPLE (that's why they're coming to the priest AS A COUPLE).
But there are WAY TOO MANY Catholics who are in denial and who desperately try to find a way to give Francis a pass for his idiocy.
Not idiocy… evil.
Thank you to the Pope!!
"Thank you" for WHAT? The guy calls himself the "Vicar of Christ", but he ignores Jesus' clear instructions (in Matthew 18:15-17) on how to deal with unrepentant sinners in church. A homosexual couple is to be told to repent and to end their sexual activity. Instead, they're coming to a priest AS A COUPLE seeking "blessings". But "blessing" CANNOT be separated from the call to repentance. Tragically, we're not hearing "repentance"; we're not hearing "this is sinful, and God does not bless sinful relationships".

I just want to say I have a relationship with God only and whoever I love and give my friendship to is none of your business. Because I know what sin is, and it's everything to do with how you live in desire for the things in life that are destructive, or creative.
Your hate and judgements however, are sins against God directly, which only requires you to be love in this world. If you don't love without knowing what's creative or destructive to life alone, however, is really what should be determined about your supposed God loving values.
A couple can be together and be very positively impact full, in more ways than sins committed by many parents, who abuse their children and a child is God. You get a very destructive outcome if you abuse God. Any form of neglect to the way that life becomes creative and impsctful, is the concern. not your choices that get stereotyped and labeled as all the same things, when it never is the same. So why is your mind constantly trying to think that one's life choice, somehow determines their values?
You are not worthy of representing God's laws. Only we, experiencing our relationship with God, ever matters.
Mind. You're. Own. Problems.
Or, be the real solution instead of putting so much pain and pressure over everyone's existence.
Yeah, I figured it was only a matter of time before we heard from the we-should-be-able-to-love-whoever-we-want-to-love crowd. Your problem can be summarized very easily. You're ignoring what Scripture clearly teaches regarding homosexuality, what love is, and who we're allowed to love. So if, say, two brothers "love" each other, is it right for them to express that "love" by engaging in a sexual relationship? Of course not! But the we're-all-about-love crowd can't seem to see or understand their own inconsistencies.
Are two heterosexuals living together without the sacrament of marriage able to be blessed individually?
Yes, why not? Committing sin ought not disqualify one from receiving a blessing.
Yes, even though they are also in grave sin
Perhaps they live as brothers and not sexually.
Absolutely. As he said, he wanted to make clear the blessing is for EVERYONE no matter who they are or what their situation, if they seek repentance, to change, and God’s help the blessing is for them
Francis didn't "clarify" anything. Here's the exchange between O'Donnell and Francis.
O’Donnell: “Last year you decided to allow Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples. That’s a big change. Why?”
Francis: “No. What I allowed was not to bless the union - that cannot be done because that is not the sacrament. I cannot. The Lord made it that way. But to bless each person? Yes. The blessing is for everyone, for everyone. To bless a homosexual-type union however goes against the given right, against the law of the church. But to bless each person? Why not? The blessing is for all. Some people were scandalized by this, but why?”
Notice that Francis DID NOT answer O’Donnell’s question? She wasn’t asking if same-sex “marriage” is now valid in the Catholic Church. She was asking about the blessing of same-sex couples, and “same-sex couples” is indeed what the text of “Fiducia Supplicans” identifies. Francis ignores her question and says the “union” (i.e. “union” akin to the “sacrament” of marriage) cannot be “blessed”, but that’s NOT what O’Donnell was asking about.

Exactly. This is more of an encouragement for them to continue living in sin.
No matter how you cut it blessing SSA couples causes confusion. I mean are we going to have blessings for child abusers, alcoholics, rapists, etc? Christian discipleship is costly as Jesus said it would be. Let us NOT water down the cost of following Christ.
I would add that it's impossible, biblically, to turn to God for forgiveness if a person is unwilling to TURN FROM the very sin that they're asking to be forgiven of. But we're not seeing that very important mindset from Francis, the priests doing the "blessing", or the homosexual couples seeking that "blessing".

SO TRUE! But it's tragic that so many can't (or refuse to) understand that basic fact.
