Thus, the document “offers a specific and innovative contribution to the pastoral meaning of blessings” and permits “a broadening and enrichment of the classical understanding of blessings.” In other words, Cardinal “Tucho” is pleased to announce that he and his dicastery have done something that appears to change the Church’s practice to accommodate, and bless, those who find themselves in same-sex unions.

On previous occasions, Tucho has shown himself to be a gifted sophist, adept at advancing Satan’s agenda by seemingly presenting the Church’s teaching in a novel, but acceptable light — and with this new document he does not disappoint fans of his fiendish art. As the document rightly suggests, we are all sinners in need of God’s mercy and grace:

“[T]he grace of God works in the lives of those who do not claim to be righteous but who acknowledge themselves humbly as sinners, like everyone else.”

The Church’s various types of blessings are ways in which spiritual benefits are imparted to us sinners. As a general matter, blessings can either be to confer spiritual benefits (a) on individuals or things involved in a particular enterprise or activity that would necessarily be relevant to the blessing — such as Catholic marriage, which the Church wants to encourage, or (b) on individuals or things so that they can receive the spiritual benefits more generally, without reference to any particular enterprise or activity.

Even those who had never seriously considered that the Catholic Faith could be the sole religion established by God should take note: some of the most openly wicked people in the world today, and perhaps ever, are persecuting Catholics simply for believing what the Church’s saints have always believed.

The document wants to focus our attention on this latter type of blessing in paragraph 25:

“Thus, when people ask for a blessing, an exhaustive moral analysis should not be placed as a precondition for conferring it. For, those seeking a blessing should not be required to have prior moral perfection.”

Thus, the greatest saints today could kneel alongside the greatest sinners, each asking for the blessing of a new priest, without any difficulty whatsoever — this is consistent with Church teaching.

However, insofar as the individual or group seeking a blessing asks the Church to confer the blessing with respect to a specific enterprise or moral behavior— such as when two individuals in a same-sex union present themselves together — then it is patently obvious that the Church must consider the morality involved. This must be the case because (if for no other reason) the act of rendering a blessing on a particular enterprise or activity that involves a known moral behavior acts as an endorsement of such moral behavior. As such, because the document deals specially with the question of same-sex blessings — which obviously involves a moral question about which the Church must care — the observation in paragraph 25 has no bearing whatsoever.

Paragraph 26 offers two more sophistries to complement the one offered in paragraph 25:

“In this perspective, the Holy Father’s Respuestas aid in expanding the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s 2021 pronouncement from a pastoral point of view. For, the Respuestas invite discernment concerning the possibility of ‘forms of blessing, requested by one or more persons, that do not convey an erroneous conception of marriage’ and, in situations that are morally unacceptable from an objective point of view, account for the fact that ‘pastoral charity requires us not to treat simply as ‘sinners’ those whose guilt or responsibility may be attenuated by various factors affecting subjective imputability.’”

The first part of the statement is intended to allay fears that the blessing of same-sex unions would “convey an erroneous conception of marriage,” as though that was the determinative issue here. While the danger of conveying an erroneous conception of marriage is a legitimate concern, the more important issue here is that the Church cannot bless any enterprise or activity that is inherently sinful.

The globalists will naturally see any opposition to this new document as hateful, whereas the reality is the opposite. For two thousand years, Catholics have defended and promoted the unadulterated Catholic Faith because we consider it to be the greatest gift God has given us and we want to share the gift with others. 

The second part of the statement addresses this more important concern, effectively dismissing it by suggesting that “guilt or responsibility [of individual sinners] may be attenuated by various factors affecting subjective imputability.” But, again, the question here is not of blessing individuals seeking spiritual benefits in general but of blessing a specific moral activity. Even if the individuals involved had as little subjective guilt or responsibility as could be imagined, the blessing of a same-sex union is still the blessing of an inherently sinful situation.

We can illustrate all of this by considering three hypothetical blessings given by a bishop on the same day:

• In the morning, a seminarian and his friends receive a blessing from the bishop — this bishop does not in any way endorse any moral activity of those receiving the blessing.
• Later in the morning, the bishop ordains the same seminarian, conferring various blessings that demonstrate the greatness of the priestly vocation and the Church’s desire to protect and honor it.
• In the afternoon, the new priest and the woman he intends to marry present themselves to the same bishop, asking his blessing for their new courtship.

Obviously the bishop could not honor the request for the third blessing if he understood that the man is a priest. And yet if we follow the principles involved with the new document, the bishop should confer the third blessing even when he knows it is upon the man he ordained hours earlier.

It would have been more respectful to Church teaching to omit the various sophistries from the new document — and instead openly announce that they are breaking entirely with Church teaching — but evidently Tucho and his dicastery colleagues delight in demonstrating their skills to the Father of Lies, their master. The message is plain and simple: the time has come to abandon what God and the Church have always said about the sin of Sodom, because the globalists can no longer tolerate the world’s paramount moral authority condemning a central aspect of their agenda.

They hate Catholics; they hate God; and, ultimately, promulgating the heresies in this document is one of the most hateful crimes they can commit against those whose sins involve same-sex relations. 

This is yet another example of the widespread hate crime being committed against Catholics by Francis and the globalists. They hate what the Church has always taught — teachings which can never change — so they must misappropriate the Church’s resources to support its enemies and persecute its true adherents. Even those who had never seriously considered that the Catholic Faith could be the sole religion established by God should take note: some of the most openly wicked people in the world today, and perhaps ever, are persecuting Catholics simply for believing what the Church’s saints have always believed. Here we can see that the pervasive work of Satan opposes God and His Truth.

The globalists will naturally see any opposition to this new document as hateful, whereas the reality is the opposite. For two thousand years, Catholics have defended and promoted the unadulterated Catholic Faith because we consider it to be the greatest gift God has given us and we want to share the gift with others. Every single person who accepts the Faith finds that it curbs their sinful inclinations: those who are tempted to seek revenge learn they must avoid revenge; those tempted to theft learn they must avoid theft; those tempted to lust or adultery learn they must avoid lust and adultery. With the recent document, Francis and the globalists seek to make a major revision to all of this — henceforth, they want the world to know that those tempted to same-sex relations have no need to avoid those sins. And, correspondingly, those who believe what the Church has always taught are haters.

This is the anti-Christmas gift that Francis, Tucho, and Satan give to the globalists. They hate Catholics; they hate God; and, ultimately, promulgating the heresies in this document is one of the most hateful crimes they can commit against those whose sins involve same-sex relations. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
