UNDER THE FIG TREE
A hermit observing the world from his cave
There are some in our Church, including Pope Francis, who say they approve of same-sex civil unions. They distinguish between civil and ecclesiastical forms. They say it is not sacramental marriage. But that is not the point. The point is: do you approve of same-sex relationships? Same-sex relationships are totally wrong and sinful.
If you want same-sex couples to have civil rights, that is for the State to decide.
The Church for her part must always look to righteousness in all situations.
Tragically, the reality is that there are those in the Church, including clerics, religious
and even hierarchs, who want to overturn what has always been the official stand
of the Church on homosexuality, based on the word of God in the Bible and her age-old teachings. They want to normalize homosexuality and make it acceptable. But homosexuality is intrinsically dysfunctional, and homosexual relationships are intrinsically evil
and thus gravely sinful.
There are already many priests in the Western world who have blessed same-sex unions.
This is totally diabolical, as the Church cannot bless what is evil.
And we ought to know that with approval of same-sex civil unions, this will lead to approval of same-sex unions, which will lead to approval of same-sex marriage, and if modernists
in the Church will have their way, will lead to same-sex sacramental marriage. Same-sex sacramental marriage, of course, is an oxymoron.
