So Kov, what exactly does "going to them with open arms look like?"
Second, don't you find it odd that homosexuals, who make up about 1% of the female population and about 2% of the male population get such an incredible amount of media attention? How is the Pope going out with open arms to the 25 million children living with their mother and father vs. the 18 thousand adopted by homosexuals? Do you believe that saving one man includes saving one unborn man? How do you reconcile a focus on 18 thousand vs. 40 million? The 18 thousand have life and therefore hope. The 40 million will have their lives ended. How does a condemnation of a sin "innoculate" the children exposed to the sin from finding the Truth in adulthood? Doesn't God give grace sufficient for Salvation to every single person? Yea, I think that's another doctrine of the Church and contained in Scripture.

If the topic turns to abuses (and that includes heretical statements) you have personally seen or heard, not even including those you have seen or read about online or elsewhere, every Catholic could easily come up with hundreds.

But, let's discuss the topic of this article:

There are 23 million households with children who are living with their married parents. There are 2 million households with children living with their unmarried parents. That is a total of around 25 million households with children living with a mother and a father. The number of children living with a gay couple, neither of whom is their natural parent, is about 18 to 22 thousand. These statistics are gleaned from a Gay website, so I assume they are inflated. There are only 16 states where joint same sex adoption is legal. By comparison, there are over 1 million abortions in the US per year. 22%, over one in five US pregnancies, end in abortion.

So we have somewhere around 20 thousand same sex adoptions in the entire country since there have been adoptions and homosexuals.

We have over 1 million abortions per year every single year just in the United States alone. And, the US does not have one of the higher rates of abortion.

One third of Americans who were raised Catholic no longer consider themselves Catholic and even with a huge influx of Latin Americans, the overall percent of Catholics in the US fell between 2000-2010. Even among people who consider themselves Catholics only about 25% attend Mass regularly, and almost no Catholics believe everything the Church teaches. I suspect almost no Catholics KNOW everything the Church teaches, but if they DID know they would feel perfectly okay denying it and still consider themselves Catholic and on the road to heaven.

What is the point of all these stats?

The point is to show how absurd, how absolutely absurd, it is to write articles about the Pope's alleged concern for the future religious affiliation of the 18 thousand adopted children of homosexuals, while over a million potential Catholics are flushed down the toilet every single year and he doesn't really want to talk about that. Now consider the number of Catholics who have left the Church, the priesthood, and the religious orders since 1965. Half the priests left in the years immediately following Vatican II. HALF.

The hierarchy has torn the Mystical Body of Christ apart by systematically undermining every aspect of what was once the Catholic Church and NOW the Pope can not speak out against homosexual adoption because the CHILDREN of the homosexuals (20,000 at most) might not want to be Catholic when they grow up. Hysterical. It won't be because they were raised in a household headed by sodomites, no. They won't be future Catholics because the Pope condemned the sin. You really can't make this stuff up.

"Professor," I got the dot metaphor. It is quite common, one might say hackneyed. Why would the Vatican use these companies?
One possibility is:

“On 15 June, the Pope appointed Monsignor Battista Ricca, an Italian cleric and former Vatican diplomat, to be ‘prelate’ of the bank, formally known as the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR)." You may read up about Mon. Ricca.
This "dot" would reinforce the rumor of a "gay lobby" aka "gay mafia" in the Curia, which was widely circulated.

Why would the Pope hire such a person for this position, who in turn would bring more scandal and degeneracy to an institution mired in degeneracy?
The Pope clearly set up the situation where a notorious homosexual would be in a position to further the homosexual agenda with Vatican money.

The answer to this question relates to the over all intentions of the Pope for the future of the Church.
Do you believe that the Pope has demonstrated, through all of his remarks and actions that he is in the image of the Good Shepherd, or in the image of the bad shepherd, or wolf, who scatters the flock? Has the Pope been faithful to the deposit of the Faith with which he was entrusted, or has he sown confusion and discord and actually changed the clear message of the Gospel as stated by Christ? Have his remarks led people closer to Our Lord, or have they put more souls in peril? Has he shown in word in action that he is a moral beacon in the world, that he has a rudimentary understanding of Catholic Doctrine regarding the Faith, morals and ethics, or has his Papacy so far been a scandal to the Faithful? The only reason that there is not more outrage is the pathetic state of the "Faithful's" knowledge and understanding of their religion.

I honestly believe that the appalling silence of the clergy concerning this Papacy is the indicator of just how far the Church has be subverted from within. All the priests try to do is find some way of making the behavior and words of the Pope acceptable; not inspirational, or guiding mind you, just acceptable. There is simply no way that this can be done in good conscience. But, the defenders of the Faith clearly are a degraded and debauched lot who had no real "calling." They formed a gay coalition, they networked with political powers outside the Church, they drove off the straight men who might not go along with them. The wolves are indeed guarding the hen house. The only thing that will change this situation is Divine Intervention. And it is going to happen, I believe that. No "dots" Prof., it's a crispy clear Poloraid taken with my Brownie Instamatic.

This was given for the Feast of Corpus Christi. The Pope acknowledges that it is the Feast of the Eucharist, but the Pope wants to "reflect on one aspect of it that never fails to impress me and makes me think."

And what is that aspect?
"Feast of Corpus Christi asks us to convert to faith in Providence, so that we may share the little we are and have, and never to withdraw into ourselves."

As with all Papal messages there is the aspect of Communistic socialism. The Pope can take any Scriptural passage, any Church doctrine, and turn it into an injunction promoting "social welfare."

Here's a challenge. I challenge anyone to try to find a single Papal quote anywhere, before or after he became the Pontiff, which states that Jesus came to earth to redeem fallen man from his sins, which is perhaps the singular doctrine of the Faith and all of salvation history. You can start with his Encyclical Lumen Fidei (which concentrates heavily on the goal of social welfare) and go from there. Good Luck.

"Professor" I'm always a little puzzled by your lengthy remarks. Frequently they indicate that you did not actually read the article you are commenting on.
For instance, it is difficult to believe that someone who read the entire article would say: "hires an organization noted for its support of homosexuality. Proof that the Pope is soft on homosexuality? No! But it is a weird "dot"."

The article states that the four companies that the Vatican hired are particularly noted for promoting the homosexual agenda which includes abortion. Ernst and Young is run by homosexuals, lobbies for homosexual causes, was instrumental in the recent opening of the Boy Scouts to homosexuals, and works for pro-abortion causes. They have seminars where homosexuals help younger homosexuals professionally and personally. They all belong to a network of homosexual corporations that lobby Washington and donate money to politicians that will further their aims. This is the point of the article the incredible disconnect between Catholic morality and the hiring of such rabidly pro-homo companies. Seems like maybe you are just trolling for conspiracy theories. Maybe if you connect a few more dots you can find one on your own; or, you could just try reading Father Malachi Martin.

"psychophysiology (a pseudo-science that has been successful in masquerading psychosis and sanity as one and the same)"

I don't really understand where this is coming from or how it relates to the essay. Bizarre.

I believe the whole issue is about inducing women to have abortions instead of putting their child up for adoption. Few women would want to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term only to have it adopted by a gay couple. It is a selfless and difficult decision to carry a pregnancy and go through the pain of childbirth only to give the child away.
But, some women are willing to do it because they believe the child will have a better life in a stable loving family, which they can not provide. How many women will now opt for abortion rather than risk having their baby adopted by gays? Population reduction is the real agenda.

Don Pietro Leone is an expert on the two rites, the new and the old. I precisely put his magna opus on this blog so that those who are not experts like Don Pietro can see the immense difference between the two rites for themselves.

This is the significant part of the essay. The title is merely rhetorical.

"It is not possible to have a proper intellectual understanding of Catholic theology without participation in Catholic liturgy."

Yes, truer words were never spoken.

This sentence is from the previous post you refer to. Since the Mass is no longer Catholic, but Protestant, Catholics no longer understand or believe the Catholic Faith.

When mass was a sacrifice Catholics understood the necessity for atonement.

Now that mass is theatre, Catholics have absolutely no idea why they should ever deny themselves anything. The liturgy reinforces the idea that Mass is all about making them feel good.

Yea, too bad they couldn't worship God, which is why they were allegedly there. They were all too busy filming the quite human performance of a guy in a tee shirt at Chirstmas pseudo-mass. And really, what would pseudo-mass be if some person or group were not being applauded for their performance. Completely disgusting. Really, who cares if anyone shows up at "Mass" anymore. God is probably more offended by what is going on than honored. It would be better if they just stopped the sacrilege entirely.

Did anyone see a blessing? I thought this was supposed to be a blessing.

Would his hand turn black and crumble off if he made the Sign in the Cross?

It's posts like this that make me seriously question who controls this site. Is there anyone who actually believes this propaganda? I once worked for a Jewish Hospital when the local news came to film the Jewish nurses all working for the Gentiles on Christmas Eve. Hilarious. There were no Jewish nurses working for Gentiles on Christmas Eve. I don't think they could run the piece because they couldn't find a Gentile nurse who could pass for Jewish.

"Put all the good works in the world against one Holy Mass; they will be as a grain of sand beside a mountain.” St. John Vianney

Of course he wasn't referring to the Great Sacrilege which has been substituted for the true Mass of all time and resulted in such a falling away and debasement of humanity. And, I'm sure the loss of the Mass has also resulted in the election of the current Pontiff who is surely a punishment from God.
