Synod Report Is a Subversive Attempt to Overthrow Catholic Morality: Speaking to EWTN, Rev Gerald Murray blasted the Vatican’s Synod Study Group number 9 report as “horrific,” calling it “a subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality.” He warned that “the Synod office is now just another public relations arm of that pressure group,” before adding: “They’re setting out to normalize homosexuality in the life of the church.”

Jude 7 just as Sodom and Gomor′rah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

Malachi 2:2 I will send a curse on you, and I will turn your blessings into a curse.

Clement Of Rome: Those who do such things are hateful to God—and not only those who do them but those who take pleasure in those who do them.

 

Callistus I of Rome: And therefore the laws not only of the Church, but of the world, condemn those who are guilty of this crime; and not only those indeed who actually conspire, but those also who take part with such.

 

Pope Gregory VII on Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons Guilty of Fornication: their blessing turns into a curse, and their prayer into sin.

Pope Gregory VII on Priests, Deacons, and Subdeacons Guilty of Fornication: “As for priests, deacons, and subdeacons guilty of the crime of fornication, let them know that the apostolic authority of the Church forbids them to remain in their orders. They must be removed from the ministry and, if possible, be sent away from the Church altogether. Let no one excuse them on the grounds of ignorance or weakness, for the Church’s discipline is clear: those who commit such sins are not only to be shamed but also to be corrected by the most severe measures, so that the purity of the clergy may be preserved and the people may be protected from the contagion of such vices” 

Do you know what the Will of God is? It is that we be holy—that we abstain from all sexual immorality.

1Timothy 5:20

As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them publicly, so that the others may also be afraid.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:3

It is the will of God that you should lead a life of sanctity. You must refrain from sexual immorality.

St. Augustine of Hippo

The disease of disordered desire is what the apostle refers to, when, speaking to married believers, he says, “This is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication, that everyone of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the disease of desire, even as the Gentiles who do not know God.” The married believer, therefore, must not only not use another man’s vessel—which is what they do who lust after other men’s wives—but he must know that even his own vessel is not to be possessed in the disease of disordered sexual desire. Paul’s counsel is not to be understood as if the apostle prohibited conjugal—that is to say, lawful and honorable—cohabitation

 

492. What are the principal sins against chastity?

Grave sins against chastity differ according to their object: adultery, masturbation, fornication, pornography, prostitution, rape, and homosexual acts. These sins are expressions of the vice of lust. These kinds of acts committed against the physical and moral integrity of minors become even more grave.

Not in the lust of passion, even as the Gentiles who know not God.

Caesarius of Arles Those who do not admonish adulterers make us suspect that the reason for this failure of reproof is that they commit similar sins themselves.

Clement Of Rome: Those who do such things are hateful to God—and not only those who do them but those who take pleasure in those who do them.

 

Saint Catherine of Siena: In wicked ministers, the sin against nature (homosexuality) reigns. This sin is repulsive even to demons.

A Vision Saint Catherine of Siena Had Concerning This Matter (The Dialogue, 124)

"(...) those unhappy men do not only check such tendency, but that they do something much worse and they fall in the vice against the nature. They are blind and stupid, whose confused intelligence does not perceive the vileness in which they live.

I displease this last sin, because I am the Eternal Purity. It is to Me so abominable that by its cause I made disappear five cities. (cf. Genesis 19, 24). My Justice is not able to support it more.

That sin, nevertheless, does not only dislike to Me. It is even unbearable to the demons, who are had by patterns by those unfortunate ministers.

The demons do not tolerate that sin. They do not wish the virtue, but by his angelical origin, they challenge to see so stinking vice.

They throw the poisoned arrows of lust, but they turn round at the moment at which the sin is committed ".

 

“I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep your commandments.” (Ps 119: 158) (Saint Augustine. Exposition of Psalm 30, Sermon 2, n.4)

 

Sin destroys "human dignity" and lowers man to the level of a Beast

Saint Thomas Aquinas: “However, they are called passions of ignominy because they are not worthy of being named, according to that passage in Ephesians (5:12): ‘For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.’ For if the sins of the flesh are commonly censurable because they lead man to that which is bestial in him, much more so is the sin against nature, by which man debases himself lower than even his animal nature.”

 “By sin, man loses a twofold dignity, one in respect of God, the other in respect of the Church. In respect of God, he again loses a twofold dignity. one is his principal dignity, whereby he was counted among the children of God, and this he recovers by Penance, which is signified (Luke 15) in the prodigal son, for when he repented, his father commanded that the first garment should be restored to him, together with a ring and shoes. The other is his secondary dignity, viz. innocence, of which, as we read in the same chapter, the elder son boasted saying (Luke 15:29): “Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandments”: and this dignity the penitent cannot recover” (Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, Q.89, A3).

The Scriptures contradict the satanic deception of this so-called "infinite dignity."

 

  Matthew 7:23

 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

A true Catholic has only three mothers—nothing more

 

Stop calling the Earth "Mother," as the pagans do.

Pope Pius XI— Whoever identifies, by pantheistic confusion, God and the universe, is not a believer in God:

Take care, Venerable Brethren, that above all, faith in God, the first and irreplaceable foundation of all religion, be preserved in Germany pure and unstained. The believer in God is not he who utters the name in his speech, but he for whom this sacred word stands for a true and worthy concept of the Divinity. Whoever identifies, by pantheistic confusion, God and the universe, by either lowering God to the dimensions of the world, or raising the world to the dimensions of God, is not a believer in God. (Pius XI. Encyclical Mit brenneder sorge, no. 7, March 14, 1937)

 

The Three Mothers of a Catholic (Rejection of False Mothers)

Adelante la Fe:

The Three Mothers of a Catholic (Rejection of False Mothers): Let us get straight to the point: a Catholic has only three mothers—no more. First, a mother who conceives him and raises him in the Christian faith with love; second, a Mother full of mercy—the Most Holy Virgin Mary—who is the Mother of my mother, my own

Mother, and the Mother of all Catholics, and whom Christ gave to us from the Cross; and third, a Mother who is One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman, and who bears the name of the Catholic Church. Our Mother the Church, who makes us children of God through Baptism.

A Catholic does not have a "Mother Earth"—a pseudo-mother with Teilhardian, Third-Worldist, Indigenist, and pagan leanings. Consult any *serious* history of the Church, and not only will one fail to find such utter folly, but, on the contrary, one will discover condemnations issued against such purported "maternities."

Deuteronomy 5:7 “You shall have no other gods besides me.

 

Exodus 23:32: “You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.

Pope Leo XIII —They can in no wise be counted among the children of God, unless they take Christ Jesus as their Brother and Church as their mother:  

And with the same yearning Our soul goes out to those whom the foul breath of irreligion has not entirely corrupted, and who at least seek to have the true God, the Creator of Heaven and earth, as their Father. Let such as these take counsel with themselves, and realize that they can in no wise be counted among the children of God, unless they take Christ Jesus as their Brother, and at the same time the Church as their mother. (Leo XIII. Encyclical Satis cognitum, no. 16, June 29, 1896) 

       

St. Pius X: What this most prudent Virgin said to the servants at the marriage feast of Cana she addresses also to us: "Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye" (John ii., 5). Now here is the word of Jesus Christ: "If you would enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matt. xix., 17). Let them each one fully convince himself of this, that if his piety towards the Blessed Virgin does not hinder him from sinning, or does not move his will to amend an evil life, it is a piety deceptive and Iying, wanting as it is in proper effect and its natural fruit.

Council of Trent (Ecumenical XIX)

Divine Adoption Cannot be Achieved Without Baptism

But though He died for all, yet all do not receive the benefit of His death, but those only to whom the merit of His passion is communicated […] In which words is given a brief description of the justification of the sinner, as being a translation from that state in which man is born a child of the first Adam, to the state of grace and of the adoption of the sons of God through the second Adam, Jesus Christ, our Savior. This translation however cannot, since promulgation of the Gospel, be effected except through the laver of regeneration or its desire, as it is written: Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Council of Trent. Chapter III, Session VI. Who are justified through Christ. A Brief Description of the Justification of the Sinner and its mode in the State of Grace. Celebrated on the thirteenth day of January, 1547 under Pope Paul III)

Saint Thomas Aquinas

All are Obliged to Receive Baptism

Men are bound to that without which they cannot obtain salvation. Now it is manifest that no one can obtain salvation but through Christ; wherefore the Apostle says (Rm 5, 18): “As by the offense of one unto all men unto condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men unto justification of life.” But for this end is Baptism conferred on a man, that being regenerated there by, he may be incorporated in Christ, by becoming His member: wherefore it is written (Ga 3, 27): “As many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.” Consequently it is manifest that all are bound to be baptized: and that without Baptism there is no salvation for men. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica III, q. 68, a. 1)

Through Baptism, we are freed from sin and regenerated as children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and are made sharers in her mission (cf. Council of Florence: DS 1314; CIC, can. 204 §1; 849; CCEO 675 §1).

 

1 Thessalonians 4:3

It is the will of God that you should lead a life of sanctity. You must refrain from sexual immorality.

 

Tertullian of Carthage:

Happy, no doubt, is faith, if it is to obtain gifts which the enemies of God and Christ not only use, but even abuse, "worshipping the creature itself in opposition to the Creator!"

The idolaters who worship the earth, in their contempt for God, are the ones who call the earth "Mother." 

   

Pope Pius XI denounced the socialist system as a “threatening danger that seeks to overthrow the Christian social order,” which “rejects the wisdom of the Gospel and resurrects paganism.”

St. Augustine of Hippo:

For by worshiping and serving the creature rather than the Creator they have not wished to be a temple of the one true God. By wishing to have him along with many other things, they have been more successful in not having him at all than in having him along with many false gods.

 

St. Cyprian of Carthage:

Of this same thing to the Romans: "And they worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the Creator. Wherefore also God gave them up to ignominious passions."

 

Athanasius the Apostolic:

So far did their impiety go that they proceeded to worship devils and proclaimed them as gods, fulfilling their own lusts.

 

Romans 1: 24-25

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 

Saint Thomas Aquinas commenting on Romans 1: 

(Rm 6,23): The wages of sin is death. All their idols will be burned in the fire ((Micah 1,7). And it is noteworthy that the Apostle very reasonably assigns to vices against nature, which are very serious among carnal sins, the punishment of idolatry (...)

St. Irenaeus of Lyons

Being the disciples of those mentioned, render such as assent to them worse than the heathen. For the former "serve the creature rather than the Creator"
