  Cardinal Gregory of Washington DC restricted the Traditional Latin Mass but has given permission for “Pride Mass”. Here’s link to the parish: https://t.co/vxbuCmbvVN for info. The fact that these people attack the Latin Mass shows you who follows Satan and who follows Christ. pic.twitter.com/FHJjtExxo5 — Dr Taylor Marshall™️ (@TaylorRMarshall) June 9, 2023 On April 4, 2019, Pope Francis named Wilton Gregory as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington. On October 25, 2020, Pope Francis announced he would raise Gregory to the rank of cardinal at the consistory of November 28, 2020. On July 22, 2022, Gregory promulgated liturgical norms in accordance with Traditiones custodes . His swift restriction of the Traditional Latin Mass stands in strict contrast to his lackadaisical enforcement of canonical norms regarding the liturgy, as Taylor Marshall notes above.  Gregory has also been a key figure in undermining the ruling by Archbishop Cordileone that Nancy Pelosi should ...

Almost a week ago I posted on the present situation in Germany where, following a correction from the CDF on the validity of blessing same sex relationships, there was a huge backlash with many bishops and priests openly flouting Church teaching and flying the "gay pride" flag. This is simply a symptom of the situation discussed in my post yesterday : as every parent knows well, if you don't teach and explain why something is wrong to your children, you can't be surprised when they go off in the wrong direction. Moreover, the Pope has been sending out strong pro-gay signals since he took office and has done nothing up to now to address the increasingly blatant flouting of this teaching throughout the Church (our own Cardinal has been at it for decades ). Pope Francis himself blessed a gay couple in July 2015 to later have Ciro Benedettini, the Vatican Spokesperson, asserting that in no way is the letter “meant to endorse behaviours and teachings unfit to the Gospel”....

I think the fact we are all so ready to believe this speaks volumes about where we are in terms of Church leadership at the moment, but the truth is he didn't say what he is being reported as saying. Here is a quote from someone on a forum, hardly authoritative, but having checked it out, I think it is accurate: “If you watch the original interview in Spanish (my mother tongue) you will see that he used the words “ Leyes de convivencia civil ” which in no means is linked to “union civil”. What Pope Francis talked about were “coexistence laws” to protect people with same sex attraction among other civilians in coexistence in society. He sees the suffering of the children of God and knows they are persecuted in many countries. But NEVER was he in contradiction with church teaching.” It also seems fairly clear (even from just watching the original footage) that he was not talking about same-sex-attracted people “having families” (i.e. children), but rather, he was saying they should n...

In this post the other day I mentioned Fr James Martin's most recent scandalous Tweet. I had to wonder if this crossed a bit of a line - there was certainly a strong reaction on social media. But Martin has been doing this for a long while, and he doesn't just push it with LGBTQ issues, he challenges lots of Catholic ideas: His problematic ramblings often attract brother priests to remonstrate: Jim doesn't care. They're all just haters. And he has the Vatican backing him ! And anyway, those who argue with him are all gays anyway! . @jamesmartinsj says cardinals & bishops support his LGBT agenda Says critics are "uncomfortable" with their sexuality. TYPICAL GAY TACTIC pic.twitter.com/QqFyZOcpZr — Nick Donnelly (@ProtecttheFaith) August 1, 2017 Anyway I wonder if his "gay "marriage"" Tweet prompted Archbishop Chaput to write this warning to the faithful about Martin's lies? Whether it was or not, i...
