Fr. James Martin blessing homosexual couple in compliance with Francis’ policy endorsing priestly blessing of gay relations.
Pope Francis is now accusing opponents of priestly gay-couple blessings of being hypocrites, when in fact his blessing of homosexual relations and calling it good is hypocrisy. According to Francis, all the holy popes, bishops, and saints of Church history were hypocrites because they denied blessings to gay couples and barred them from the Church.
Sincere vs Insincere Quests for Priestly Blessings
In a recent interview, Francis expressed his strongest words thus far concerning his decision to bless homosexual couples. He told NBC:
- “Nobody gets scandalized if I give my blessings to a businessman who perhaps *exploits people, and this is a very grave sin. But they get scandalized if I give them to a homosexual, Pope Francis, via ‘Credere.’ This is Hypocrisy.”
This is a highly inappropriate comparison and reflects an obstinate attempt to continue his blessing of homosexual unions. His argument holds no water. Comparing a businessman to a homosexual makes as much sense as comparing a carpenter to a rapist. A carpenter by definition is a responsible working man whereas a homosexual by definition is a sex-offender on the path to perdition. Businessmen generally are responsible people working to support their families, unlike homosexuals whose criminal lives “cry to heaven for vengeance.”
If a businessman comes to a priest for a blessing it means he truly wants this blessing for his soul and for success in his work, so the priest should bless him. And while he might commit some sins or faults in his work, that’s not a reason to deny him a blessing. “A just man shall fall seven times” (Proverbs 24:16) and then rises.
Whereas, if a homosexual couple comes to a priest for a blessing, it’s because they want their shameful relationship blessed. Were it otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to approach the priest ‘holding hands’ together. They want their gay union blessed so Francis blesses it because he is a gay sympathizer. He is blessing their homosexual aspirations, not their souls, thereby working their eternal ruin and then he calls it “good.” That is hypocrisy!
Consider the following scenario. A group of armed robbers come to Francis, saying, “We want your blessing because as soon as you’re done, we’re going out to rob homosexuals, but first we want your ‘personal blessing.’ Could their criminal disclosure make them worthy of a priestly blessing? Would Francis jeopardize gays by blessing these robbers? Hardly.
Yet he puts the children of God in worse jeopardy. Gay couples and individuals come to him saying, “We want your blessing for we are practicing homosexuals and will continue this way, therefore we want your blessing.” And indeed, he blesses them so that they’re all the more motivated to go out and sin and spread their sodomy unto the murder of souls, and then he calls it good.
A Troubled Conscience
It appears that Francis is running from a troubled conscience and is suffering from final impenitence. He rails against the humble and the just while building a wall of cement around himself and then calling it “mercy.” That too is hypocrisy.
He praised and blessed famed abortionist Emma Bonino, calling her “one of Italy’s forgotten greats.” He blesses U.N. abortion advocates who want to make the planet “sustainable” through population control, even saying that “our duty is to obey” them. He blesses the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that is oppressing the suffering underground Church in China. In every which way he upholds the right arm of the wicked while shaming the innocent who oppose them, even calling them hypocrites.
Is this not glaring hypocrisy?
*Note how he uses the opportunity take a dig at businessmen, which reflects his red disdain for Capitalism. American Capitalism is the great enemy of Communism, which Francis fully supports.

MYSTERY BABYLON? Many think so……
COME LORD JESUS!

I’m trying to look at the upside; how God is using this. It is a huge wake up call, hard to ignore. Many might jump ship, before it sinks. My guess is this is where the False Prophet will surface. It could also be describing Mystery Babylon. Both? Who is “ the whore of Babylon?”I can’t offer a guess on that one.
Book worth reading:

Geri, this is a good book. I have read it and own it. One day even Pope Francis will stand before God, for he is just a man like everyone else. God’s Word does not change like the world changes. Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday, and forever. If God says homosexuality is an abomination, then it is an abomination. Pope Francis may very well be the false prophet. It is certainly looking that way. But time will tell….
Yes, time will tell……
Like the reference to Proverbs 24:16
For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again but the wicked stumble in time of calamity
also like reading on to these next verses (while agreeing with 17 & 18 of course as we do not rejoice in the stumbling of the wicked only that they stop)
Proverbs 24:19,20
Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked; for there will be no future for the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
Amen!!
Refreshed my memory on this. I had two Dave Hunt books. Gave to a friend. And I have Chinequay’s book- 50 Years in The Catholic Church, given to me by same friend. Yes! That’s the Whore of Babylon. Drunk on the blood of the saints. It’s the biggest cult around. But losing many. I had a Catholic father, grandmother, and some friends. Grandmother & friend were devout. I loved these people and worry about what becomes of them. I left that
“church” in my twenties.What they did with Mary just never sat right.
You made a good decision!
All authority was given to Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. It was NOT given to the great ursurpers of the popery. “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and the table of demons.” God’s word is plain and simple. Is not their so called blessing nothing but “…a cloke of maliciousness.”? 1Pet. 2:16
