Temptations to Sin Do Not Constitute Identity - Bishop Mutsaerts
Dutch Bishop Rob Mutsaerts, 65, has published a commentary on Francis' homosexual propaganda piece "Fiducia supplicans" on VitamineXp.blogspot.com. Title: "Again that diabolical ambiguity".
The bishop notes that the footnotes in "Fiducia supplicans" do not refer to Church Fathers, Popes or theologians, but almost exclusively quote earlier scribblings by Francis (see image below).
One cannot bless a homosexual relationship because it is "sinful" and it is impertinent to claim that God blesses sin, the bishop said. He also misses a call to repentance in "Fiducia supplicans".
Analysing the underlying problem, Mutsaerts states that having homosexual feelings [= temptations] does not constitute an identity: "If you make sin your identity, there is no way out."
"We [= Francis/Fernández] act as if homosexuals were a unique type of sinner that we should treat separately. But the same applies to them as to any other sinner".
For Mutsaerts, the alleged ambiguity of "Fiducia Supplicans" is that "it does not want to name the sinful nature", and this is what the homosexual ideologues do not want either. That is why they demand that "not they, but the Church must change".
Mutsaerts concludes that "every blessing is meant for sinners, but not for those who believe that in their case there is no sin".
