The following comes from a Nov. 14 posting on the Catholic News Agency.
Meeting in Baltimore for their annual fall meeting, the U.S. bishops have selected their choices for delegates to next year’s Synod on the Family, sources have confirmed to CNA.
The delegates, in order of election, are: Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference; Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, who is hosting the 2015 World Meeting of Families; Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, the bishops’ conference vice president; and Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles, the highest-ranking Hispanic bishop in the country, who leads the nation’s largest diocese.
The two alternates elected are Archbishop-designate Blase Cupich, who will soon be installed in Chicago, and Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, who heads the U.S. bishops’ defense and promotion of marriage subcommittee.
After being elected, the delegates’ names will be sent to the Vatican for approval.
If confirmed, the delegates will participate in the 2015 Synod on the Family, a global meeting of bishops to be held next October in Rome. That synod will follow one that was previously completed this year, discussing a wide variety of matters related to marriage and family across the globe….

After watching Cardinal Burke’s head get handed on a silver platter to Kasper, these bishops know not to stand up for the Faith . . . or else.
Mr. Burke may sell his long red robes now, in order to feed the poor and build showers . Or he may try to be a homeless for this winter…just to get some real life experience…..
Ignorance is ugly and mean. Cardinal Burke does help with the things you mentioned. And often the long robes (hello? just nice fabric, you can stop obsessing about it) are often the property of communities a bishop serves, and not their own possessions.
If you’re gonna play gotcha based on someone’s clothing, please try to know a few facts first.
What have you sold to feed the poor? That’s what I thought.
I guess that jenny does not like the way any of our Bishops, Cardinals and Popes dress.
Perhaps she does not like Mass vestments either.
If that is important to you, jenny there is the door, and don’t let it hit you on the way out.
Cardinals are supposed to wear red. Red is the color of a martyr, and Cardinals are supposed to be willing to die for their Faith if necessary.
This does give us the opportunity to remind everyone to purchase the 2014 book called “”REMAINING in the TRUTH of CHRIST, Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church”.
Cardinal Burke is one of the 5 authors.
Purchase one for your Diocese Bishop and one for your Parish Priest for Christmas.
In the Old Law, the high priest would wear vestments made of the finest materials; gold and scarlet and purple with jewels. Look at Exodus Chapter 28 for the full description. If the priest in the Old Law wore clothing befitting the sacrifice God commanded, then how much more the priest of the New and Eternal law should wear beautiful vestments when he offers the Holy and Precious Body of Christ at Mass?
Top of the world, Jenny? The hate for Cardinal Burke reveals just how seriously he rocks the devil’s boat. I expect his eminence will one day hear those beautiful and promising words of Our Lord: Go, Raymond, your faith has saved you. God continue to bless Cardinal Burke.
Jenny, from what I have read, Cardinal Burke does not own those robes, anymore than any other priest owns the altar clothes in the closet of his church. Even if he does, the clothing will either be given to someone else when he passes away or sold for the poor.
Why is it that the same people who have no problem financing secular museums, have a problem with Vatican museums and so forth? Much of what is done in those facilities also provide jobs for Catholics and others. The making of beautiful altar linens and priestly clothing also gives many Catholics jobs. In fact it gives many nuns funds for their orders.
Instead of complaining so much about his robes, perhaps it would be better that some of these people learn those skills, so they, too, can help support themselves and provide beautiful things for the Church and others.
People make fun of men wearing lace, but so did George Washington and most of the Founding Fathers of the United States. They wore it on the cuffs and fronts of their shirts. Would one call George Washington a sissy? Also, the saintly mother of St. Therese, Servant of God Zolie Martin, helped provide for their family with her lace making business which provided lace for priestly vestments, I am sure. Their family, in return, helped out the poor and were good to their workers.
George Washington and the other Founding Fathers also wore silk stockings when they were not in battle. I am not one who likes lace on men in ordinary conditions, but there can be a time and place for it. Nevertheless, I have seen priests in the beautiful lace vestments of some orders, and they do not walk nor look effeminate, any more than a priest looks effeminate in a plain black cassock or a Scot does in a kilt. All the things the priest wears in a traditional Latin Mass has a meaning behind it, just as the pope’s red shoes are meant to remind him of the blood of the martyrs, and that he should be willing to die for the Faith. Some popes liked to wear them and some not, but some did wear them out of humility, even though they did not like them.
All I am saying is that there should be different Masses and orders for what different people like as long as they are orthodox and done with reverence. Enough said on my part.
A correction: George Washington and Thomas Jefferson did seem to boycott lace during and after the war. They wore more homespun clothing to sympathize with the Americans who sacrificed during the war. They did wear ruffles, though, on their shirts and silk stockings, and velvet at times for state occasions, along with powered wigs. Later American men and women did start lace businesses of their own, and it was much cheaper and more acceptable to their fellow Americans.
If George Washington were a live today and wore lace, yes people would call him a sissy. Cardinal Burke did not live in 1776, he lives in 2014. Should they call him a sissy? Probably not, but they would. How many times have people posted nasty comments about women who have masculine haircuts, or trans women who, of course, wear dresses (at least sometimes). This site goes ballistic. Should they? Probably not, but they would.
YFC, there is a big difference between George Washington wearing the common male garments of his day, Cardinal Burke wearing the historical vestments of past male cardinals versus someone trying to pretend to be a man or woman in order to seduce the same sex. If you do not get the difference, you are in deep trouble.
By the way, the long train on one of his liturgical vestments was used to cover the horse on which a cardinal was riding. It did serve a purpose at one time. Some people enjoy seeing liturgies done as they were done in times past, even though they are not done that way any more. If Cardinal Burke did it all the time, it would be another whole issue.
Anne T., you cite a difference but you don’t make one. Cardinal Burke doesn’t wear a long train to hide a horse. He does it so that everyone will look at him and know that he is the most important person in the room. His job is to be a pastor of souls, not a sartorial museum.
Cardinal St. John Fisher’s head was handed to Henry VIII on a platter, and look where he is now and where Henry’s head is probably now. We now know he (Henry) actually tried to repent and come back to the Faith, but God did not permit the priests he called for to get to him!
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
Franciscus PP. will tolerate only rubber stamps.
So in other words, the bishops selected will be those who toe the company line: yes to false ecumenism, yes to modernism, yes to kowtowing to liberal politicians, and no to defending the Doctrine of the Church, no to clear and precise teaching and a definite no to the TLM. These weak and inept bishops are the reason why the Faith has been lost in Europe and in much of the world. We need the True Catholic Faith; unadulterated, brave, strong, willing to stand in the face of evil, to be a contradiction to ways of the world. May God bless us with faithful bishops and priests, May He strengthen our faith and May St. Michael defend us in battle. +JMJ+
I completely agree, Clinton.
Thus, those duplicitous Cardinals that wanted to suppress what they knew to be a true statement about catholics caught up in practicing the sin of homosexuality to still possess gifts from God that they should be allowed to share with the rests of us, it was a disgusting display of refusing to admit past wrongdoing out of pride.
We should not coddle the need to protect status against the Truth. The worst rationalizations came from those trying to justify suppressing this clear theological truth is by saying that “it sent the wrong message” and was “confusing”. How can the Truth be confusing? Instead, this is both arrogance presuming non-existent intellectual superiority and a pathetic attempt to deny that homosexuals have been treated with a punitive vindictiveness not matched by people who openly commit similarly serious sin.
I wonder how many gluttonous bishops were busy saying we need to present nothing but universal condemnation for homosexuals? Similarly, how many bishops were promoting the sin of sloth on the part of illegal immigrants stealing from social welfare programs after crashing the borders.
JonJ, I disagree with you that homosexuals have been singled out. The Church has always taught that: adultery, homosexual acts, and fornication are all mortal sins. And these were all discussed at the 2014 Synod.
The issue is that many homosexuals choose to publically flaunt, promote and advertise their mortal sin – whether it be through special flags, parades, etc.
While most others do not publically flaunt their sexual sins.
It is not charitable, merciful, or pastoral to affirm, or condone anyone in any Mortal Sin.
Those who do, participate in the sin(s). (CCC 1868)
The two most important books in the Catholic Faith are:
1) a Catholic Bible which contains the Speech of God;
2) “the Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition” which contains the Doctrine of the Faith.
These contain the TRUTH.
There is no such thing as a perfect person. Do not mix issues.
Someone can be right in one thing and wrong in another. Unfortunately it happens.

Pray for each of these delegates daily.
Lord give them the strength to stand up for Your teachings and the Doctrine of our Faith accurately and completely.
Let there be no negative repercussions for their Faithfulness.

For those who are following the Synod – 2014 & 2015 it is important to note that there is a HUGE ERROR on the VATICAN WEB SITE in the final report dated
Oct 18, 2014 of the Synod “Relatio Synodi” in the English Translation.
As of this posting the error still stands.
ERROR on Vatican web site – English Translation of Oct 18, 2014 final Synod Report follows:
Here is the Vatican link to the Relatio Synodi in English.
https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2014/10/18/0770/03044.html
Note that paragraph 4 clearly ends with: “… and facing the situation, with an eye on the Lord Jesus, to discern how the Church and society can renew their commitment to the family “
Here is the Vatican link to the OFFICIALLY approved Relatio Synodi in Italian.
https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2014/10/18/0770/03044.html
Note that paragraph 4 clearly ends with: “….il confronto alla luce del Signore Gesù per discernere le vie con cui rinnovare la Chiesa e la società nel loro impegno per la famiglia fondata sul matrimonio tra uomo e donna.”
This is the ACCURATE TRANSLATION from Italian to English using google translation:
“….the comparison in the light of the Lord Jesus to discern the ways in which to renew the Church and society in their commitment to the family based on marriage between a man and woman.”
“…… based on marriage between a man and woman.” – was completely left out.
Gee! Don’t you wonder why and who was responsible for that? A whole phrase mistranslated?
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!

Kenneth Fisher, I checked the Vatican web site, and they still have not fixed the English translation to include the EXTREMELY important phrase –
“BASED ON MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN”.
I guess the best we can all do is continue to actively let everyone know of the Vatican site error, and hopefully embarrass them into correcting it.
There is no excuse for this.
The Synod was over and the official Italian version of RELATIO SYNODI was posted Oct 18, 2014. – a full month ago.
Thank you Mike. I hope everyone pays attention to this, and note the translation errors from Italian into English.

Will Pope Francis dare to confirm Archbishop Chaput who said that the Synod was causing confusion, the work of the devil?
Even though, in spite of a promise he made to a room full of pro-life leaders, including me in his then Diocese of Rapid City, Archbishop Chaput refuses to enforce Canon 915! Why wouldn’t Pope Francis confirm him?
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!
Viva Cristo Rey!
Yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher,
Have we had a single bishop who has imposed Canon 915 on a politician? There are so many to choose from and I’m sure if the bishops want help identifying one, a few or a lot, there are many who would be eager to recommend some names.
Maybe Cardinals O’Malley. DiNardo and Wuerl, with Archbishops Kurtz, Chaput, Gomez and Cordileone, with Archbishop-designate Cupich Cordileone, can do some real defending of the Faith.
‘Cardinal would refuse Communion to pro-gay marriage Catholic legislators’
https://www.rte.ie/news/2014/1115/659730-cardinal/
The first instance of a pro-choice politician being censured via denial of communion was in 1989. During a special election for the California Senate, pro-choice Catholic Lucy Killea was barred from communion by Leo Thomas Maher, the bishop of San Diego.
In January 2003, Bishop William Weigand of Sacramento said Governor of California Gray Davis, a Catholic who supported abortion rights, should stop taking communion.[9]
In February 2007, as emerged two and a half years later, Bishop Thomas Tobin asked Representative Patrick Kennedy not to take communion because of his position on abortion. Kennedy told the Providence Journal that Tobin also instructed priests in the diocese not to give him communion; Tobin denied this.
In May 2008, Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann said that Kathleen Sebelius should stop receiving communion because of her support for abortion rights, and that she should not again take it unless she publicly stated that she opposed abortion rights.
After Joe Biden, a pro-choice Catholic, was nominated as a vice presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential election, Bishop Joseph Francis Martino of Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, said Biden would be refused communion in that diocese because of his support for abortion rights. Biden was not refused communion in his then-parish of Wilmington, Delaware.
During John Kerry’s campaign for President, St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke was the first to say he would deny Kerry the Eucharist, while others — including Archbishops Sean O’Malley of Boston, Alfred Hughes of New Orleans and John Vlazny of Portland, Ore. –have urged dissenting politicians to not approach the Communion rail.
Abp C said that confusion is the work of the devil.
That being said, the Pope should fire those responsible for the terrible and incomplete English translations on his Vatican web site.
No one can blame the secular or religious media, when his own staff publishes errors.
Thanks MIKE for your post above, and for the documentation to prove it.
Joel, Abp Chaput was talking about the Oct 13th interim report that was tampered with by Italian Bishop Forte and provided to the press before it was provided to the participating Bishops. Forte’s version was heretical.
In addition, the Abp stated that confusion is of the devil.
Of course he will confirm him. It’s being held in the city he is archbishop of.
My oh my – such catty fashionista slams against Cardinal Burke – when POTUS Down Low Soetoro was far and away goofier in his proud purple drape that he recently wore in China.
After all – Barry learned how to dress in drag from a True-Tranny Nanny named “Turdi”, who minded and modeled for him during his formative boyhood years growing up as Muslim named Barry Soetoro in Jakarta Indonesia.
Funny, Not – All Barry’s Records are Sealed (including his settlement of the lawsuit for Homosex Harassment of Men at Harvard) – except his transcripts from his home in Indonesia, and the record of ‘reverend’ GDA Wright providing Barry with a ‘Beard’ named Michelle – back when Barry Publicly Supported Man – Woman Marriage… Meaning Before the Election, when the Lie was useful:
SEE
When in Rome… Support Marriage! (Family Research Council)
If liberals hoped the Vatican was softening its stance on marriage, next week’s conference is sure to set the record straight.
From November 17-19, the home of the Catholic Church is hosting “An International Interreligious Colloquium on the Complementarity of Man and Woman” with pro-family leaders from around the world, including FRC’s Peter Sprigg, Dr. Pat Fagan, and myself.
Although the event was planned before last month’s Synod, Pope Francis will kick off the conference and is expected to address the controversy raised from the October flap, when reports suggest that the Church was opening the door to same-sex “marriage.” Scholars from a host of religions (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Mormon) will descend on Vatican City to support and reinvigorate natural marriage and family life.
With the international debate over same-sex “marriage” heating up, most people hope the colloquium will be a catalyst for global solidarity in the work of strengthening marriage.Apart from Pope Francis, attendees will also hear from:
Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
Archbishop Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia and host of next year’s World Meeting of Families
Rick Warren, Senior Pastor of Saddleback Church
Bishop N.T. Wright, Professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the
School of Theology of the University of St. Andrews
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sack, Former Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth
Dr. Jacqueline Cooke-Rivers, Azusa Christian Community
Pope Francis talks the talk, but he will not walk the walk. He says mercy and forgiveness, and be not judgmental, but then he sacks the traditional Franciscans, demotes Cardinal Burke, and ridicules all those who were against his liberal policies at the synod. Paul Harvey wrote a fine piece on what is happening to the Catholic Church, and it was posted on http://www.angelqueen.org. It is well worth reading.
Thanks for your posting of the angelqueen website.
I did not find the article you refer to but I did find a link to this awesome letter from Church Militant TV that addresses some of the issues we have often talked about here on CCD concerning the SSPX.
https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/index.php?topic=9237.0
All popes do this. For example, John Paul II authorized Benedict (who was then a Cardinal) to strip the teaching credentials of 400 theologians who objected to JP 2 proclaiming Humanae Vitae infallible truth.
This was a calculated challenge to the normal infallibility of this doctrine, in that normal infallibility depends on agreement among the consistent agreement of the Magisterium over time.
Of course, most of you considered this a good housecleaning because it was a tactic used against “wrong” thinkers and you applauded JP 2 for promoting traditionalist thinkers within the Vatican. Certainly, it is legitimate for a Pope to appoint people who share his vision for the Church into key posts, if he does not completely silence opposing voices. Everyone can make mistakes, and people who think differently can see mistakes that can be difficult for those do not share their perspective. .
Those of you who are decrying Pope Francis as an anti-pope, and rationalize your antipathy toward his message by talking about corrupt Popes of the past are, I think, premature.
I must admit, I like this Pope better than his predecessors. Yet, I admired certain things about both JP2 and Benedict. I also am not a Traditionalist. To many here Traditionalist=Good. To me, Traditionalist=Someone who thinks making a mistake for 2000 years is a good reason to continue doing the same thing for the next 2000 years.
I understand that the above view of Traditionalists is somewhat hyperbolic. I also admit it exposes my bias.
Yet, I think that statement does highlight the fact that change is sometimes necessary. Those who oppose change out of pride, and the refusal to admit past wrongdoing, would still have Ecclesiastical courts using trial by ordeal, believe that torturing confessions from suspected heretics is moral and just, and fail to recognize that a Crusade often creates more problems due to the sins encouraged by the chaos of war than they fix through combat against evil.
Those who failed to accept change would also continue the medieval belief that immunization is against the will of God because the Bible records God using plagues to punish mankind. I suppose ignoring the dead all around you so that you can believe you are more holy than your neighbor justified believing that, somehow, man could frustrate God’s will if He truly wished to use disease as a divine punishment.
Jonj, what 2000 year old “mistake’ are you referring to ?
There is no such thing as a traditionalist or conservative or liberal in the Catholic Faith.
However you will find the definition of Heretic in the CCC under heresy. There are Faithful Catholics, and Catholic heretics, please be specific in the future so everyone will know what you are posting about.
Cardinal Burke has not been stripped of any teaching credentials.
All Popes can appoint whomever they wish in his Curia.
What in the world are you talking about ?
.
I honestly don’t see that much difference.
Dear Jenny, Your ridicule of Cardinal Burke’s wearing apparel brought to mind a pamphlet on hell that I recently read. Obviously, it was written pre-Vatican II since hell is now longer in the vocabulary of the Church. Anyway, in it was a quote from a Congregationalist minister Rev. Dr. T. Moffatt of Newark. N. J. who wrote: “What do I admire in the Catholic Church? There are seven things which the Protestant Church might imitate and which I admire in the Catholic Church, and they are these: First, emphasis of the sanctity of the marriage vow; second, the pomp and dignity and parade of the Church; third, the central unifying authority of the Church; fourth, the tone of conviction; fifth, femininity, as exemplified in the honor paid the Blessed Virgin Mary;, sixth, purgatory; and lastly, confession.”
Of course these admirable features are now apparently less important to the powers that be in the Church.
It is always amazing how the left accuses conservatives of being mean, nasty and uncharitable. Well, the opposite its true. Just look at Jenney’s posting. To refer to His Eminence as MR, is not only pagan in principle, but down right rude and boorish.
Fr Karl, perhaps jenny is one of the non-Catholic trolls who post on Catholic web sites to give out mis-information, deceive, or simply see if they can stir up garbage.

‘Facing De Facto Schism: Los Angeles’ Call to Unholy Action’. by Stephanie Block.
rcf.org/Old_web/Press/AMDG/1998aprilframe07.htm
“Call to Action: What is Call to Action? Twenty years ago, in late October 1976, the United States Catholic Bishops held a three-day Conference in Detroit. Delegates from across the United States came together to rubber-stamp nine position papers on eight predetermined topics.
The position papers had been prepared well in advance of the Conference by committees who based their “findings” on ideological prejudice. Hand-picked, “progressive” participants and tightly controlled use of the microphone during the Conference ensured that the orthodox voice would be stifled and that the nine position papers would be ratified. This is a standard technique of Alinsky-style organizing, so it was not surprising to learn that the organization of this first Call to Action Conference was choreographed by the Alinsky disciple, Monsignor Jack Egan of Chicago.
The nine position papers adopted by the 1976 Detroit Call to Action Conference were designed to raise an expectation among the faithful for a reconstructed, democratic Catholic Church, designed along humanistic lines. The Call to Action position papers demanded that:
divorced, remarried couples might receive Holy Communion;
women be ordained as priests and as bishops;
the Church reverse its doctrine about contraception;
the Church mitigate its doctrine about abortion;
the Church revise its defense of right to property and reasonable profit, and
the Church be restructured non-hierarchically and democratically. ”
rcf.org/Old_web/Press/AMDG/1998aprilframe07.htm
Be very very clear and careful.
The group called “CALL to ACTION” today is heretical.
They do not adhere to Sacred Scripture or the CCC.
Some Diocese Bishops have EXCOMMUNICATED people who join “CALL to ACTION” with the first by Bishop Bruskewitz,
and this excommunication was upheld by the Vatican in December of 2006 when appealed by the “Call to Action” organization.
Today “CALL to ACTION” is targeting and attacking Faithful Bishops mostly within the USA.
Beware when you see their name.
Thank you Sally. Yes, the group ‘Call to Action is heretical. I don’t know if the link will work this time but the article includes the fact that Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz excommunicated ‘Call To Action” ..”In the light of such an agenda, Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska excommunicated all Call to Action members within his diocese.”
Other heretical groups are also included in Stephanie Block’s article. The problem IS there are still members of these groups that are being allowed to speak at different parishes and SOMEONE is responsible for inviting Timothy Radcliffe to speak in San Diego. Stephen Brady has documentation regarding the still unaddressed problems with homosexual clergy in San Diego. Stephen Brady had been given evidence that San Diego and Orange County was a “nest” of homosexual problems. There IS still a homosexual death grip on the Church and it is supported by many of the heretical groups that are working against the Church within these dioceses. Why do you think that the name Catholic has not been removed from USD? Bishop Brom certainly knew how to boldly threaten faithful Catholics with removing the name “Catholic” yet NOTHING was ever done about removing the name Catholic from USD. Why are drag queen shows and numerous anti-Catholic pro-abortion speakers allowed to still poison the minds of students? Until this homosexual death grip is addressed these problems will continue. The compromised clergy is *hamstrung* even if they want to do what is right. They will be assailed by those very same people who invited Timothy Radcliffe come and speak. We have just watched what happens when a very faithful Cardinal defends the Teachings of the Church.
The poster named Bob One has repeatedly asked Kenneth Fisher to give examples of the heretical speakers who have been invited to the REC and Bob One always wants to know what makes these speakers heretical. I suspect that Bob One already knows very well and this article written by Stephanie Block gives a good history of the heretical poison that has been allowed to corrupt the minds of many. The link may not work again but if you use your search engine and type in ‘Facing De Facto Schism: Los Angeles’ Call to Unholy Action by Stephanie Block’ …the entire article will be informative. If you use your search engine and type Stephen Brady, Roman Catholic Faithful and type in San Diego in the search box on the upper right hand side of website there is a history which helps to explain why NOTHING has been done.

I have never met Pope Francis, or Pope Emeritus Benedict or Cardinal Burke – and know about them directly only through their own writings.
However – Much has been written About them (and others) in the Propaganda Wars that have always stalked the Church – although todays Gaystapo / Media have taken their Anti-Catholic Pogroms to a level of coordinated assault only made possible by the sophistication of technology – and not on via any ‘new thinking’ interfering with their traditional Mau Mauing pogroms.
Many Misandrist falsehoods are now instantaneously tweeted to the masses, faster & further than truth proclaimed from the pulpit – or pushed as Entertainment via laugh track ‘enhanced’ programming, so as to make sure the right (meaning Leftist) message is pushed home, in between commercials.
The only thing for sure – is the omnipresent Anti-Catholic Spin of our lamesteam media given to stories – or justifying Censorship (like the coverup of the Larry Brinkin Racist Pederast Toddler Rape-Porn ring run out of the ‘in-human-rights’ comm in Sodom by the Sea)…
– is something that only few sites (CCD Included) have allowed counterpoints to be posted about. Otherwise, the scam is to pretend that Gaystapo Propaganda ‘wins’ so convincingly on its own ‘merits’ that no one dare de-bunk the lies.
In that spirit of Open Discussion fostered by CCD – the following from CNS is more than useful in showing where Pope Francis truly stands – In Line with the Magisterium and His Predecessors, albeit with a different style – not substance – when it comes to the Complimentary Reality of Genuine Marriage between a Man (XY) and Woman (XX) – who are essential to Normal Procreation, and thus regularly trashed by Gaystapo double think pogroms necessary to denying Mendel’s Laws of Genetics in service of Turkey Baster Creationism.

“Pope Francis: ‘Union of Man and Woman in Marriage’ is ‘Fundamental’ For ‘Whole Societies’
…Pope Francis reasserted the Catholic Church’s teaching on marriage on Monday, stressing the “complementarity” between man and woman – the two complete each other – and adding that “children have a right to grow up in a family with a father and a mother.”
At the launch of a three-day conference on the “Complementarity of Man and Woman in Marriage,” sponsored by the Vatican’s office for the Doctrine of the Faith, Pope Francis said he hoped the meeting would inspire “all who seek to support and strengthen the union of man and woman in marriage as a unique, natural, fundamental and beautiful good for persons, communities and whole societies.”
Complementarity happens when “one of two things adds to, completes, or fulfills a lack in the other,” said the Pope, explaining that this completion, or coming together, of man and woman in marriage reflects a “harmony” that was “made by our Creator.”
The “complementarity of man and woman” is a “root of marriage and family,” said Pope Francis. “Do not fall into the trap of being swayed by political notion. Family is an anthropological fact – a socially and culturally related fact.”
