Pope Francis to Make "Woke" Gay Rights Advocate a CardinalHas the Roman Catholic Church completely lost its way?
Pope Francis has just announced his intention to elevate the pro-LGBTQ Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe to Cardinal on December 8th. The position of Cardinal is one of the highest and most powerful in all of the Roman Catholic clergy. Radcliffe has been a rabid supporter of sin and progressive causes for decades, insisting there is always time for “future evolution” of Catholic moral teaching. There is no such thing as the “evolution of moral teaching” … our only source of God’s Word is the Bible… not Catholic Church pronouncements. Scripture explicitly warns about this…
Radcliffe has also been quoted as saying “In the face of the divine, where one stands on doctrinal matters is of little importance. If we are truly on the way to If you liked this post, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. the Kingdom, does it really matter whether you align yourselves with so-called traditionalists or progressives?” He went on with, “The question always is… is the Church’s teaching going to change? That’s not the issue…the issue is, will we love and welcome our fellow human beings?” Doctrine is not important? Of course, it is… homosexuals should be welcomed. but as sinners who need Christ and not in affirming acceptance of an unrepentant lifestyle. They must hear and heed the message of the Gospel and one’s desperate need for confession and repentance... God calls all of us to confess our own sins and repent of them, not to minimize or lovingly approve of the sins of others. Radcliffe is on record as opposing the Church’s ban on allowing men with homosexual tendencies to become priests. In a 2005 interview with the London Times, Radcliffe argued that while homophobia or misogyny (contempt for women) should be grounds for rejecting a candidate for the priesthood, one’s homosexuality should not. Radcliffe also wants “people’s imaginations to be stretched open by watching ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ reading gay novels, living with our gay friends and listening with them as they listen to the Lord.” Radcliff should open his Bible and read Ephesians 5:3-5,11…
In 2013, Radcliffe publicly stated that gay sex can be “Eucharistic,” expressive of Christ’s self-gift in Holy Communion” … He later went on… “So, in many ways, I would think that it can be expressive of Christ’s self-gift. We can also see how it can be expressive of mutual fidelity, a covenantal relationship in which two people bind themselves to each other forever. We cannot begin with the question of whether gay sex is permitted or forbidden”, he stated. “We must ask what it means, and how far it is Eucharistic”. Radcliffe’s position reeks of rank perversion, blasphemy, and satanic mysticism. Apparently, in today’s Roman Catholic Church, that merits his promotion to Cardinal. The College of Cardinals is the body that will elect the next pope. Some have suggested that Pope Francis is packing the College of Cardinals with as many looney liberals as he can… to ensure his successor will be even more radically liberal than he is. Sadly, the Catholic Church has become a promoter of the doctrines of demons and has no resemblance to the true Church established by Christ Himself.
