Riding the racehorse toward acceptability. . .


So. . . there is this Brazilian bishop appointed by Pope Francis in 2014 and he listens to reports of suicide and depression among homosexuals and who decides to preach about it.  Well, more than simply preach about it but actually to call homosexuality a “gift from God.” In words he insists were designed to “save lives” and help “overcome prejudices that kill,” Bishop Antônio Carlos Cruz Santos of Caicó, Brazil, has jumped over tolerance to embrace homosexuality good.

“If homosexuality is a gift, and therefore it’s good, then why is it not good to act upon it?”“so many brothers and sisters with a homosexual orientation who feel misunderstood and unloved by us, who are Church, by their families, by their society and even by themselves, as it was in the days of slavery,” Cruz said.

The bishop also referred to Pope Francis’ 2013 quote:  “If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?”  The bishop said.  “There’s a logical inconsistency there that’s going to lead to a lot of confusion, especially for young people, which will actually lead to more damage. Because when they live outside God’s plan for human sexuality, that always leads to unhappiness and despair.”

So. . . does anyone think that the Brazilian bishop is anything but a prophet of the new way Pope Francis has determined is the best means to engage the current culture of sex and gender?

Just like Romanist bishops in the U.S. pontificated away the sexual and pro-abortion shenanigans of Demonicrat papish politicians in exchange for influence and power. That is the way of the Antichrist.

"anything but a profit" - yes, that fudge was deliberate. After all, if its Roman, it all about the money. The young queer men seem to have lots of money, and I'm sure Rome wants its cut.

What is the difference between Bishop Cruz and the ELCA acceptance of
homosexuality?

Different hemispheres.

Another proponent of the Antichrist's liberal views on homosexuals and same-sex 'marriage' is Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago. Last year Cupich stated, "It’s a lot easier to tell people what they are doing in black and white. The important thing in all of this as we move forward is to recognize that people’s lives are very complicated. There are mitigating circumstances, psychological, their own personal history, maybe even biological. It’s not a matter of detracting from what the ideal is." Excerpted from "Cupich says Pope Francis' landmark document on sex, marriage and family life 'fresh' and 'striking' – Chicago Tribune."

BTW, Cardinal Cupich will be one of three panalists, along with LCMS President Matthew Harrison, at an October 30th "Reformation Interdenominational Conversation" at Concordia University-Chicago. Chicago Spittoon liberal reporterette Manya Brachear Pashman will be the moderator.
