Francis Knew "Many" Homosexual Priests
On today's first anniversary of Francis's death, the homosexual activist James Martin SJ shared a memory from 2024. At the time, Francis had made some negative remarks about homosexual priests using the Italian slur "frociaggine" (faggotry) in a meeting with Italian bishops.
A few weeks later, Francis received Fr Martin and discussed the expression. Francis said then that he knew "many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians".
When Fr Martin suggested proclaiming this publicly, Francis replied, "Oh, but I think I have. And in any event, you can say that!"
According to Fr Martin, Francis asked back: "So you're saying that I can say you know many holy, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians?" Francis shrugged and said, "Of course. Because I do!"
[In reality, the Church has suffered from many unholy, unfaithful, sexually active gay priests.]
A few days later, during an audience with comedians, Fr Martin greeted Francis again. The Pope said, "Thank you for our meeting …More
That is why, when the apostate of unhappy memory, Jorge Mario Bergoglio maliciously asserted that he was nobody to judge a "gay priest"; he defied God and the Church. By stating that he did not judge an unrepentant sinner—meaning that a Pope, and thus the Church, lacks the power to judge—he thereby passed judgment upon God and the Church.
Bergoglio and Prevost have conspired with many homosexual and apostate priests.
By the Way, it should be clarified that the Church teaches that no Catholic faithful may harbor an attachment to sin. Consequently, the vice of sodomy—as taught by Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Bernardino of Siena—is not only a grave mortal sin but becomes a sin of blasphemy against the Spirit—one that has no forgiveness either in this life or in the next—when the person who has fallen into this vice, instead of repenting, creates a new homosexual pseudo-identity contrary to the biological sexual nature bestowed by God.
Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori also taught that the sin of priests is a sin of malice, equivalent to the sin of the apostate angels who rebelled against God—a sin that constitutes blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. For this reason, Scripture teaches that the apostate is like a dog that eats its own vomit or a pig that wallows in the mud, and that it is very difficult—indeed, almost impossible—for an apostate to repent.
Gay is an adjective that applies to someone tempted to homosexual sin and is proud of the temptation and acting on the temptation. He or she also encourages others to be proud of their temptations and sins. The specific difference is pride. One who is tempted or sins in a homosexual manner and experiences compunction and repugnance is not gay. Given that definition one cannot be a good gay catholic or a good gay priest. Pride is a vice. It changes a tempted person or sinner who should be ashamed into a vicious monster. Bergoglio's and Martin's ambiguity serves as a smoke screen for contradicting divine revelation and traditional moral doctrine.
