Bishop Perić: Francis Is Spreading the Sodom Virus
Perić presents a theological exposé on homosexuality, based on Scripture, the patristic era, modern theologians and the Catechism.
The biblical summary shows that homosexual acts are "very wicked", "abominable acts" against nature, which kill soul and body, and are an "abomination". Perić speaks of a "Sodom virus" and compares it to an "epidemic".
He notes that in Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6, St Paul uses the harshest terms ("unnatural", "degrading passions", "perversity", "unnatural deviation") for homosexual acts.
"Not only will perverts and sodomites not receive God's blessing, but they will not inherit the kingdom of God. Can there be a greater punishment?" - Perić writes.
Among the Church Fathers, he quotes St Augustine, who warns against "sodomites" who will all be "judged guilty of the same crime by the law of God" because God has not create men "in order to abuse each other in this way."
Perićs warns: "If man does not keep the law of God, he is condemned to keep the unlawful law of man."
Analysing the propaganda pamphlet "Fiducia supplicans", Perić notes that it is written in conditional form and "based on the principle of contradiction".
For example: Tucho doesn't want to promote a "ceremonial blessing of couples", but then offers a "ritual for the blessing of couples". The adjective "ceremonial" and the noun "ritual" refer to the same thing.
Moreover, the term "couple" is used as if Tucho were dealing with a legal couple, notwithstanding the fact that the [pseudo] blessing of the concubines involves making separate signs of the cross on each of the concubines. The same words 'blessing' and 'ordained minister' are attributed to two different realities with different meanings.
Perić brings Francis/Fernández face to face with reality: "The Church has always considered a simple and spontaneous 'blessing' of an irregular adulterous 'couple' or a 'sodomite couple' as a sacrilegious, sinful counterattack to God's blessing of the first created couple."
He notes that the two "spontaneously blessed" concubines are unrepentant and determined to remain in their adulterous or "sodomite lawlessness".
"How can we hope that these 'couples' in irregular situations of persistent adultery or persistent same-sex relationships will completely fulfil the will of God without any conditions and signs of repentance on their part and a departure from unnatural lawlessness and sin?" Perić writes.
His unanswered question: "Who is seeking this kind of confusion in the Church of God with its existing bi-millennial doctrinal clarity? To confuse the unity of the Church with schism? Orthodoxy with heresy?"
