ROME — Pope Francis has proclaimed a special jubilee pilgrimage for gays and all LGBTQ+ people, Italian media announced this weekend.
For the first time, a specific Jubilee event will be dedicated to Catholic homosexuals and LGBT people, noted the Italian daily, Il Messaggero, despite the Catholic Church considering homosexual acts to be intrinsically disordered.
On September 5, Catholic members of the LGBTQI+ community will be hosted by the Jesuit Church of the Gesù, in central Rome, for a vigil service.
The Jubilee 2025 initiative is sponsored by Jonathan’s Tent, an Italian pro-LGBTQ organization founded in 2018 by Catholic priest Father David Esposito that aims to reconcile “homosexuality and faith.”
The news was welcomed by other LGBT advocacy groups.
“Any initiative aimed at welcoming LGBTQIA+ people and overcoming the obstacles they encounter in fully exercising their rights, including those of a spiritual life, can only be welcomed by us with applause and enthusiasm,” Gabriele Piazzoni, general secretary of Arcigay, said.
Nonetheless, Piazzoni added, Catholics still have a long way to go on issues such as gay rights, abortion, and euthanasia.
“Catholics are still today the most hostile politicians to the exercise of our freedoms, as well as many freedoms related to the dignity of people and self-determination over their bodies, from end-of-life issues to voluntary termination of pregnancy,” he said.
“And these remain facts that are difficult to overcome with a pilgrimage, however welcome and positive in itself,” he said.
Similarly, Rosario Coco, president of Gaynet, suggested that beginning with the Jubilee, “let’s shelve the rhetoric of gender and reach a clear position against conversion practices and the criminalization of homosexuality and trans people around the world.”
“Pope Francis has shown great openness towards homosexual people,” Il Messaggero pointed out, but at the same time, “he has always spoken out clearly against the ‘gay lobbies,’ as well as against the entry into seminaries of boys with this sexual identity.”
It also noted, however, that the pontiff has decried the problem of “faggotry” in some Catholic seminaries, urging bishops to curb the situation.
He’ll stand before the Almighty just like the rest of us. I’d hate to be in shoes though.
I believe he may be the false prophet as well!
Be so grateful when Christ Jesus catches us up. They just get more disgusting day by day!!
We certainly have no difficulty in discerning a bad tree, a tare, a goat here.
He is WICKED to the core of his being….
YES WE INDEED SAY COME LORD JESUS COME…..Take your Bride Away
Amen
Absolutely! Amen! 🙂
Hey Tiffy Girl 🙂
Creepy creepers. (In reference to Jude v.4)
‘Intrinsically disordered’ indeed! I hate such namby-pamby language! That makes it sound like it is just a problem; something a little bit out of line. God says it is a perversion and an abomination; and as God say that, that is that, and I think anyone who thinks otherwise is going to have a jolly hard time trying to explain their standpoint to Him.
And as for whether of not Pope Frankie is his dear white frock may end up being revealed as the Antichrist, who knows? He is certainly creep enough to be antichrist, as he ably displays every time he opens his satanic mouth; but whether he is the actual Antichrist doesn’t matter to us really. We know he is full of the spirit of antichrist by his fruit (foul, rotten, brown apples with white speckles anyone!?), and for now that is all that is necessary. We must simply continue to watch and pray, and the Holy Spirit will guide us in all truth: we don’t need to trouble ourselves about who may or may not be the Antichrist, or the false prophet. God knows exactly who they both are, and will allow them just enough chips for their little fling; and then, when they have had their chips, He will be back to reign as King — bringing us with Him to rule with Him over this earth! 🙂
Amen sis… AMEN!
I think whoever is pope when the a/c takes power is the best candidate for the false prophet job opening under the a/c. The present guy is a false prophet alright but too old & a few bricks short of a full load.
I agree brother
I completely agree with that assessment.
