Interview with Diane Montagna: The Remnant, December 22, 2023
Diane Montagna (DM): Your Excellency, what was your initial impression of Fiducia Supplicans: On the pastoral meaning of blessings, issued on December 18 by the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Manuel Fernández, and approved by Pope Francis?
Athanasius Schneider (AS): This document and its impudent use of pious words struck me as an artifice of Pharisaism and a mockery of the natural and revealed law of God. In applying Fiducia supplicans, St John the Baptist could have imparted a “spontaneous” and “pastoral blessing” to the irregular union of Herod and Herodias.
(DM): As Vatican News noted in its initial report, this is the first time the Congregation (now Dicastery) for the Doctrine of the Faith has issued a Declaration since then-CDF prefect Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger issued Dominus Iesus. What weight or authority does such a document have?
(AS): This document clearly, albeit cunningly, …More

@LYunque But you mean the apostate prelates decree, not the "Church." Francis' decree, obviously can not be speaking in the name of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, for She is the Spotless Bride of Christ. God bless you! Holy Christmas. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
The Church cannot bless a person who is in the state of unrepented mortal sin. When I commit a mortal sin, any good that I have done is eradicated and I can do nothing pleasing to the Lord. I am cut off from Him. It is only when I repent and am absolved that I am restored. The Church, by this new decree from Francis, while protected by the Holy Ghost in that the gay unions are not being blessed, is …More

The Church, by this new decree from Francis, while protected by the Holy Ghost in that the gay unions are not being blessed, is being horrifically uncharitable and is lying to the sodomites, facilitating their damnation. Furthermore, any priest that goes along with this is tying a huge millstone around his neck. This is a most terrifying state of affairs for many. Jesus, save us. God have mercy.
