Francis and the homosexual ideology - Miles Christi - September 2013 - During a press conference held on 29 July 2013 on the plane trip between Rio de Janeiro and Rome, returning from World Youth Day, Francis made this statement, “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” It is highly ambiguous and spreads trouble. First of all, the term “gay” is loaded with meaning because it not only refers to homosexual persons, but also to those who openly claim the “culture” and lifestyle of homosexual impurity, like the infamous Gay Pride. Rather, he should have spoken about a person as “having a homosexual tendency” and then hasten to add, so as to remove any risk of misunderstanding, that if one should not morally judge the person with this tendency, on the other hand, one should note that performing the act does constitute a seriously disordered moral behavior.
Now, surprisingly he did not make the distinction, and the next day the vast majority of the world's press headlined their articles on the Pope’s press conference by reproducing verbatim the question formulated by Francis. How long can we speak of ineptitude in a man who has perfectly mastered media communication situations? It's hard to believe ... Even if it were the case, it would have, I repeat, immediately raised the level of ambiguity by seeking to clarify it.
In the interview given by Francis on the 19th, 23rd and 29th of August 2013 to the Jesuit cultural journals and published by L'Osservatore Romano on 21 September, and in France by the revue Études in its September/October 2013 issue, one might think that he would have tried to be as clear as possible on this subject. Here are his words: “In Buenos Aires I used to receive letters from homosexual persons who are ‘socially wounded’ because they tell me that they feel like the church has always condemned them. But the church does not want to do this. During the return flight from Rio de Janeiro I said that if a homosexual person is of good will and is in search of God, I am no one to judge. By saying this, I said what the Catechism (of the Catholic Church) says. Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person. A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider the person. Here we enter into the mystery of the human being. In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy. When that happens, the Holy Spirit inspires the priest to say the right thing.”[1]
Much can be said about these comments. Much, but certainly not that they are of great clarity! As the limited scope of this article does not allow an exhaustive development of any kind, let us confine ourselves to the enumeration of the key points:
1. Contrary to what he is saying, his sentiments are nowhere to be found in the Catechism. It clearly expresses Church doctrine (§§2357 & 2359), which Francis is far from having done in this interview in which he has cultivated ambiguity, perpetuated misleading language and created confusion in people’s minds.
2. It is amazing to hear him say that, “religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people.” Religion? Which? Or would it actually be “religions” in general, “the great religious traditions, which play a fruitful role as a leaven of society and a life-giving force for democracy[2]?” amazing language in the mouth of the one who is seated on the throne of St. Peter! Why not just say “the Church”? And most importantly, we must remember firmly that this man in no way expresses her “opinion.” She teaches the nations according to the command of her Divine Master: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (Mt 28:19-20)
3. And Francis continues, “God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.”[3] Always this detestable ambiguity, a trait that has already become a classic in Francis’ communications and is omnipresent in his interviews. For if man, by virtue of his free will, can refuse to obey the Church, on the other hand, he is not morally free to do it: the Church has received from the Lord the power to compel the consciences of the faithful[4]. To claim that “it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person” is to deify the individual conscience and make it an absolute. There one is faced with the founding principle of the humanistic and Masonic religion of 1789: “No one shall be disquieted on account of his opinions, including his religious views” (Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, Article X). This false revolutionary freedom of consciousness was condemned by the magisterium of the Church. Gregory XVI says to desire “to guarantee freedom of conscience to everyone” is an absurdity and “insane” (Mirari Vos, 1832).
4. Finally, the fact of answering the question – “do you approve of homosexuality?” – with another question, actually more or less esoteric, is unworthy of one whose mission is to teach the universal Church. And, again, we find this intolerable ambiguity which is characterized here by not distinguishing the condemnation of sin from that of the sinner, by suggesting that the fact of “endorsing the existence” (sic!) of the sinner would render useless the reprobation that his sinful act demands. Yet our Lord taught us to speak completely differently: “Let your speech be yea, yea; no, no; everything else comes from the evil one.” (Mt 5:37).
Nevertheless, returning to our airplane interview, Francis also said that these people “should not be discriminated against, but integrated into society.” Excuse me, but of what people do you speak? Those claiming to be “gay” or those experiencing this painful inclination without fault of their own and trying to live decently?—yet another ambiguity sowing trouble and on a point that had not even been raised.
But over and above this very unfortunate ambiguity is the fact that these statements are purely and simply false. They form part of the egalitarian and “non-discrimination” ideology rampant in the ranks of feminism and homosexuality, war machines to justify, among other aberrations, homosexual “marriage.” Even in the case of persons having only a homosexual orientation but living chastely, it is perfectly legitimate and reasonable to discriminate, and that is what the Church has always done especially when it concerns the priesthood, the religious life, and the teaching of children.
These discriminations are even more legitimate and necessary when dealing with people leading a homosexual life, even discreetly, and all the more for those who publicly and proudly display their bad morals and thus demand their supposed “gay” rights, to use the Bergoglian vocabulary, which use is atypical or at least unusual for someone occupying the throne of Saint Peter.
And these people, the militant ideologues of the homosexual cause, e.g., those who organize “Gay Pride” marches, who are activists in subversive and corrupt associations like Act-Up, who publish “gay” magazines, such as the abominable magazine Tetu, all these people have even less of a right to be “integrated into society” from which they should specifically be unceremoniously excluded. They have even less right to be exempt from “any form of discrimination” as they should justly be deprived of liberty and cut off from society for indecent assault and corruption of youth.
And Francis carried on with his very strange speech before an audience of journalists completely enchanted by the charm of his splendid laid-back attitude and the extremely media-oriented content of his remarks: “The problem is not having this tendency, but lobbying for it, this is what is serious because all lobbying is bad.” Unfortunately, everything in this sentence is wrong. And we must admit that it is becoming increasingly difficult to plead the possibility of dealing with an unintentional blunder on his part.
Because, firstly, it is clear that the fact of having this “gay” tendency constitutes a serious psychological and moral problem for him who suffers from it, and a serious cause of concern for those around him. Then to say that the problem is not being homosexual but only participating in the “gay lobby” is a grotesque fallacy which can only help to trivialize homosexuality and make it acceptable. Finally, we must firmly insist that a lobby is by no means inherently bad. As “an organized structure to represent and defend the interests of a given group in exercising pressure or influence on people or institutions holding power” (fr.wikipedia.org), a lobby will be good insofar as it fights for just causes and it will be bad if it does so for evil causes.
Thus, the Catholic lobby which in France opposed in an exemplary manner in 2012 and 2013 the wicked Taubira “law” legalizing “marriage for all” and “homo-parental” adoption, is—contrary to the words of Francis—by no means condemnable, unlike the favorable action towards this iniquitous law shamelessly carried out by the LGBT lobby, thanks to government subsidies and brazen support of the leftist-libertarian media machine.
One more word on this matter. It is stupefying and embarrassing that he would make these remarks in an unprecedented type of press conference—in mid-flight, surrounded by journalists from around the world, a truly “all-star” global media, about whom he cannot be ignorant in knowing that what he says will be passed on the next day en masse by the world’s media, and this at a time when the battle between supporters and opponents of “gay marriage” is raging in most nations of the western world.
It is difficult to attribute this episode to “blunders” or “imprecise language,” because, to reiterate the point, on the one hand there has not been the least action after the fact to attempt to resolve the misunderstandings in this oh-so-perilous area, thus leaving the poisonous effects of these remarks to spread around the world and, on the other hand, the content of the tidy remarks make mention of a thought which is simply not in accord with Catholic doctrine on the subject and, even more grave, openly played for the enemies of God, who are fighting to make “gay rights” acceptable within the Church and in civil society.
Indisputable proof of this objective complicity between the unhappy words of Francis and the fight for cultural corruption led by homosexualists is that the U.S. magazine The Advocate, the most influential publication of the LGBT community in the United States, last December elected Francis as their “Person of the Year 2013,” singing his praises based on the attitude of openness and tolerance he showed towards homosexuals during the first year of his pontificate.
And Francis’ statements are all the more serious when they intervened barely two months after Cardinal Bagnasco, president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, celebrated in Genoa the funeral of Don Gallo, the famous communist and anarchist priest, abortion supporter and gay rights activist, during which he made a panegyric in his homily and allowed two transsexuals to advocate the LGBT ideology during the “Prayers of the Faithful,” in which they thanked the apostate priest for having helped “the trans-gender creatures (sic) feel loved and wanted by God,” and to whom the Italian prelate finally personally distributed communion, thus profaning the holy Eucharist, seriously scandalizing the faithful and sowing disorder and confusion in their minds.
Even more disturbing: there has not been any official response from the Vatican condemning the deeds. It should be noted that Don Gallo exercised his “ecclesial ministry” with impunity, without ever having been disturbed or sanctioned by his superiors. And remember, his funeral was official, celebrated with great pomp by the President of the Italian Episcopal Conference and with a laudatory homily as a bonus!
Yet another symptomatic fact chosen from among many others: the Pontifical University of St. Francis Xavier of Bogotá, Colombia, founded and directed by the Jesuits, every year for twelve years has organized a “Pink Academic Cycle,” which openly promotes the “gay” lifestyle. From 28 to 30 August 2013, for the first time, it took place on the premises of the University. There was then a significant reaction from the scandalized laity, which, thanks to their action organized a real Catholic “lobby,” forcing the university to find another venue for this filthy “Pink Cycle.” Of course, there were no sanctions for the corrupt university in this age of “dialogue” and “pluralism.” And this has been going on with impunity for twelve years—no sanctions by the Colombian Episcopal Conference and no intervention by Rome.
It is interesting to note the reaction of the director of the university, Father Joaquín Emilio Sánchez: it was immediate and most edifying. Indeed, in a scathing press release sent to the “educational community,” he mentioned his outrage at the “violation of legitimate academic autonomy,” finding that “no discrimination will be tolerated” and strongly warned his opponents: “At this time, we are taking all the necessary steps with the relevant proceedings to assure that a situation as irregular and painful as what we have experienced with the Pink Cycle will never happen again.”
For his part, Father Carlos Novoa, former rector of the university, tenured professor of moral theology and holder of a doctorate in “sexual ethics,” open proponent of abortion, said the measure “reflects the return of the Inquisition in a sector of the Catholic Church and is the doing of obscurantist and fanatical groups.” The public and obstinate positions of Father Carlos Novoa has never caused him to receive the least sanction from the ecclesiastical hierarchy of his country, let alone the authorities of the “Pontifical” Catholic University. He continues to hold his “ecclesial ministry” (add: “to scandalize the faithful”) and his “university teaching” (add: “to pervert the minds of students”) without ever having experienced the least inconvenience.
Another similar case is: the Catholic University of Córdoba, Argentina, also directed by the Jesuits. In an interview published 12 August 2013, Fr. Rafael Velasco, its rector since 2005 and an expert in “Human Rights,” made, among a litany of heterodox statements, the following statement : “If the Church wants to be a sign that God is near to all, before anything else, it must not exclude anyone. It must undertake some very important reforms: the divorced should be admitted to communion, homosexuals, when living in stable relationship with their partners, should also be able to receive communion. We say that women are important, but we exclude them from the priestly ministry. These are signs that would be more understandable.”
If I take the liberty of mentioning these three cases, among many other similar ones, it is only as an example, because they perfectly illustrate the continuous and permitted progress of the homosexualist ideology and “gender theory” within the Church. And it is precisely within this deplorable context of the permanent and irrepressible advancement of the LGBT ideology both in civil society and within the Catholic clergy that these incredible and breathtaking words uttered by Francis, in the middle of an international press conference, at the end of the extremely media-saturated WYD in Rio de Janeiro, came: “Who am I to judge a gay person?” Frankly, one would think it’s a dream. But no, unfortunately it is not a dream, but more of a nightmare from which we would like wake up as soon as possible.
