God Is Testing Our Faith with Fiducia Supplicans! 

We really need to unceasingly pray for the conversion of Francis. (I just call him by name not Pope) He is one of the globalists WEF. Sad!!!

God shouldn't have an image.. Do u realize, ladies can visualize that image while masturbating? so blame those people who created god image!

Scandolon Others are falling because of this

To the good and holy father, I say this… One day, if you persevere in your faith, you will be so filled with the Holy Spirit that you will be able to walk into a brothel and convert every woman and perhaps every client in there, because that is the power of Jesus Christ but until that time I don’t recommend visiting brothels, but I do recommend That we all pray that each of us become a saint

It’s a mystery . Have faith

What's to get straight

That's the problem, The World. Will belive it's a blessing for same sex couples..... And they will be asking for these blessings for gay couples. I think there will be trouble. I know God doesn't approve.

@@briannall6232 The problem is that when two gay persons stand in front of a priest & a blessing is given, it is interpreted as a blessing of their union. One can parse it any way one wants, but it is what it is & Francis has again opened the door for evil to enter.

@@briannall6232 Can a Threesome be blessed? How about beastiality or adulterers?

Other sinners are blessed and glorified too. I see no problem with the decree. The church should welcome everyone one, all sinners, and bless them in the aim of conversion

But most issues are grey so...

Nope. That is not true. There is a document supporting this doctrine.

Not a heresy.

@@darrellperez1029 from where?

First of all, FS is not a heresy; if sinners can receive a blessing, why not gay couples? Second, the response from African Bishops is not as unanimous as you make it seem. Some of the bishops (Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe) wrote letters to clarify the document to their diocese, and most African bishops supported the document. Still, they mentioned that it was against the culture of the continent and might even cause more harm than good to the gay community. It is only a few African bishops (Cameroon) that have outrightly rejected the document by saying, "We will not bless gay couples."

@@darrellperez1029 I'm not sure what document you're referring to, but there are numerous public instances of African bishops rejecting the Pope on this issue.

If you choose homosexuality you will not have a place in heaven it is against Gods commandments.

@sever, I’ve spoken to three priests & they say that they will bless an individual, but not a “couple” & certainly not in front of the altar. They say that nothing has changed & they cannot bless intrinsic evil. BTW, none are impressed with Francis’s leadership nor the removal of Bishop Strickland. All 3 have know him for years.

Oh Priest routinely marry divorced people: this is no big deal blessing same-sex couples. That too has been common in quite a few parishes for a while.

@@russellmiles2861 Does your priest marry them on your altar and as if they were not divorced? Lot’s of questions here: Were they both married in the Catholic Church to their former spouses beforehand? If so, did they both receive an annulment from their Bishop? If they were married outside of the Catholic Church, then the Church neither recognizes their marriage nor their divorce because both are civil documents & the Church doesn’t recognize them. So if they are both Catholic, I ‘think’ that they can be married in the Church. Please elaborate.

Yes

Don't be superstitious. It's a sin.

@@SciVias917 .. .......OMG, that's NOT superstition!!!....... it's a SIGN from God just like how He's given many signs in the old testament........ALSO like the sign God gave when lightning struck the Vatican 2x on the SAME DAY pope Benedict XVI resigned........not long after he formally announced it !!!

Actually if you did your research the halo was not even there when the lightning struck.

You were listening were you

Please listen carefully. Listen and listen again, if you've got the time.

is not about listening, the document is very clear, it states : blessing of same sex couples and couples in irregular situation. I recommend you read, read and read again, until you understand it.@@sabakpojohnson4751

in which part of the Bible is written than couples of same sex are to be blessed? and if they are, are they going to repent and stop being homosexual? because as you can see on father Martin´s blessing of a gay couple, they really don't want to stop sodomizing each other.@@sabakpojohnson4751

Enough with the listening. Please read it for yourself. @@sabakpojohnson4751

I have listened to many faithful priests and other strong faithful who have also read the documents and explain differently than this priest. Obviously the documents are not straight forward. As usual, Pope Francis makes everything very complicated, it seems to cause confusion and division. Why have so many bishops and cardinals refused to accept this document? Not because of click bait. They read the document as well.

I have explained and answered these things at length. He can’t engage every objection in one homily.

@reasonandtheology, I mean no disrespect, but if repentance isn't a big enough issue for this priest to engage in front of his faithful, then NOTHING is.

@@amyakins1284 don’t twist words like Satan does with scripture. You know very well that is not what was meant.

@@stephenjohnson9632no. that is a dishonest reading of the document. The coupleship is exactly what is being referred to when the word union is used. The document upholds traditional catholic teaching on sin and sexuality. The document clearly says the sin can't be blessed. Use basic logic. Did you even listen to the sermon?

Faith in the Church? You mean faith in Jesus Christ our Lord I think

@@ludwigvonmises1 Having Faith in our Lord Jesus means having faith in the Church He founded, the Church He said He will guide forever, the Church He said the gates of hell would never prevail against.

@@stephenjohnson9632 The lies and slander are coming from those who despise the Catholic Church, those who have hatred of the pope in their hardened hearts. We don't worship the Catholic Church, no we just trust and have faith in the words of Jesus Himself, as he said that he will always guide his church and that the gates of Hell will never prevail against it. You insert your false subjective opinion and make claims about the document that are simply untrue. The irregular couple may be in a relationship when they approach the priest for a blessing, but the priest is completely blocked from giving a blessing to the coupleship from this document, it is extremely clear. This blessing is a gift from God that can help the couple turn away from sin. The document affirms the traditional teaching of the church on sin. I know that Satan is the father of lies, so I know that fake news media who are spreading lies about the document to grift to their pope hating audience are doing Satan's work.

They are not the same. The Papacy is not equivalent to Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is not debatable @@christopherjohnson9167

Hi pop 😊

Deception comes from Satan, so is this document. God will not be mocked, and those do and propagate the same, will rule in hell forever.

Confusion is from the devil

This sermon gave me hope. However, there are bishops and priests in a certain diocese (perhaps a few?) in Germany who are still performing liturgical blessings of gay unions and others. And Fr James Martin, SJ, in the U.S., took it as a signal that he can now *plan* to bless gay couples. He said this on Twitter. And a priest in Italy put statues of two women as Jesus’ mother in their crèche for Christmas in response to things the pope has said. That priest said just that. And lastly, this document is in contradiction to a previous one from 2021 (I believe that is the correct year tho I can’t recall its name) according to an article by another priest I read a few days ago. It’s all very vexing…all we can do is pray…

You are right, except I believe this sermon brings false hope @@carolmcln5028

I thought the same thing!

Michael, I wholeheartedly disagree. This document does not bring unity to the church, it breeds chaos.

@@texasvet54 Pope Texasvet has spoken

I am with you @@texasvet54 .

Agreed!!!

Indeed dear Mother, pray for us. I think even Mary has told us in one of her apparitions (sorry can't remember which one) that we shouldn't watch the news in these times because it is filled with lies and misrepresentation which only causes confusion. We are living in the tribulation where the church experiences calvary, but we can live in hope because the gates of hell will not prevail.

Christ is your Mediator, not Mary. Does not the scripture say, "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time." 1 Timothy 2:5-6 (LSB) See also the book of Hebrews, it makes clear the role of Christ our High Priest.

Your comment was too long for me to read.

@@ReasonandTheology Exactly my point! If something is too long, people won't listen to it or read it!

The message of the Church is that Sexually diverted people have to be respected eg people who are mad we bless them And a blessing has nothing to do with sacrament of homosexual as homosexuals have no biblical marriage.

Thank you.

Hatred is directly from the evil one.

Well then, for the sake of clarity and not to be lured into media "clickbait", is it not the responsibility of the Catholic Church to put out a formal statement from the highest office in the Vatican, what Pope Francis actually meant when he uttered thise words? it is ridiculous to assume that anyone Catholic or orher, would ignore news being reported when Papal statements (even if taken out of context) are being made about such a controversial issue as this.

This is a straw man and the document itself corrects your requirement of repentance for a blessing. The only scandal here is your dissent against the magisterium.

3 it is a scandal to leave thing unexplained. 4 you conveniently omitted mentioning that the who!e continent of Africa and alot more, are disturbed about the document . Why are you so unaware about possible scandal.

Because he intends to use ambiguity to erode our faith, because he’s a Freemason

It never said “couple”

@andreathemisses1422 Fiducia Supplicans uses the word "couples" several times. Have you read the actual document? There are some very positive points which support the traditions of the church but also several points which are confusing and dubious in their intent.

Loaded with confusion. No reprimand to Father Martin, only to defenders of tradition and Truth

@@lourdesyager5521There is no confusion. Unfortunately Fr Martin is in error

It is written so that blessings can be given. Father Martin is a friend of the Pope. There are pictures of him at the Vatican visiting in more than one occasion and yet no reprimand

It does allow for such blessings!!!

@@lourdesyager5521 A blessing may be given when an individual or a couple, who are living in sin, ask for it spontaneously, and the purpose of such a blessing to to help the individual or couple to give the person/couple the strength to work towards metanoia (change of heart) to sin no more. What FS does not permit is any type of blessing which would "approve" the irregular couple as if it were a marriage. Therefore the priest with the experience they have, would apply prudence to avoid any confusion. Because some priests may have been pushing the boundaries in terms of blessings and have been causing confusion, the FS was issued as a Declaration for all ordained ministers to provide the correct guardrails - thus ordained ministers are given the opportunity to correct irregular practices and any further discipline thereafter to correct Magisterium Teaching should be managed by the ordained minister's superior. Pax Christi

The problem is critics like yourself.

Thanks for this. I also failed to see it this way. It truly pays to be quick to listen.

I have not heard the over simplication that people who have an issue here think that ONLY those who want their relationship validated. But to ignore that arguably a majority of them will be looking for validation is naive.

@katehaven9374 And Fiducia Supplicans goes out of its way to clarify that we cannot validate their sexual union, regardless of what they're looking for. In that sense, I don't think the document is naive at all. I think it knows what the secular world wants from the church (validation of homosexual activity and homosexual marriage), and the Church definitively did not give it to them. And comment boxes are loaded with "If their not looking for validation, then why present themselves as a couple? Any relationship should be completely ended". This "oversimplification" as you call it is what I'm describing. That, by the very fact you haven't ended any and all relationship and are presenting as a couple, you are inherently seeking validation of sexual activity. This isn't true for what we're fine calling unmarried heterosexual couples (engaged or divorced-and-remarried), and likewise for a homosexual "couple" who is seeking guidance in knowing how to navigate a disordered romantic or sexual entanglement and have expressed an openness to grace that they live by the Church's teachings.

@davidc4764 You misrepresented both things I said. I never said Catholics were opposed to people seeking God's grace. I said people were opposed to blessing COUPLES, for the reasons I've mentioned ("If 2 men present themselves as a couple, they can't be blessed and should be told to end any relationship they do have") Comment boxes and Rad trad commentaries are filled with these kinds of statements. Similarly, this line of reasoning also lends itself towards them thinking that "If they're presenting as a couple, couples are unions, so they must be seeking validation for sexual union." I'm not naive and saying this won't happen, or that even most coming forward as couples would be like this. My issue is with people saying ALL homosexual couples are like this (if they're presenting as a couple, they must be seeking validation of sexual union). And I'm pointing out that this is naive and painting with too broad a brush. It excludes difficult and pastoral situations where a couple who displays an openness in regards to the Church's teaching on marriage and homosexuality could receive a blessing. I'm sure most are fine with blessing engaged heterosexual couples or divorced and remarried couples with the understanding we're not validating sexual union. So why can't they see that for same sex couples as well?

Agreed. The Africans agreed with Fiducia Supplicans and backed it up.

I suppose you don't need a blessing because you are completely perfect.

"Perenzosos"? 🤣

We can suggest to them to turn on CC for automated Spanish translation . Might not be 100% accurate but close enough

@@miracles_metanoia This talk was especially important for people to hear… Over the holidays, I was trying to explain some of this to my Spanish-speaking auntie who's scared about the state of Holy Mother Church… I'm not a native Spanish speaker, so a lot got lost in translation I'm sure

Puede ir a los Heraldos del Evangelio , ellos si tienen temas muy importantes y dan muchas classes y vídeos gratis con las enseñanzas de nuestra iglesia Santa … son padres muy conocidos y como Dios quiere que sean los padres . busque ya verá cuánto lo guían a uno en la verdad . Que Dios lo bendiga!
