Belgian Bishops Publish Liturgy For "Blessing" Homosex Liaisons

Brussel Cardinal Josef De Kesel, 75, and the Flemish bishops published a September 20 statement about “Being pastorally close to homosexuals.” It includes a prayer service for "blessing" homosex liaisons.

The bishops claim that homosexuals living upon their gender disorder (“choose to live as a couple”) deserve “appreciation and support.”

They consider - what Church and Bible call abomination and sin - a “source of peace and shared happiness for those involved.”

The liturgy provides - in addition to prayers and a Scripture reading - the "engagement of the two people involved". They express like in a marriage before "god" how they commit to each other. In one line of the prayer service, the homosexuals ask "god" to "grant us strength to be faithful to each other and deepen our commitment. On your nearness we trust, from your Word we want to live.”

The bishops' statement says it is based on Francis’ Amoris Laetitia. They will meet Francis for their Ad Limina visit soon.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith noted in 2021 that God “cannot bless sin.”

Cardinal Sarah: “I will never abandon man to the ravings of the enemies of human nature. I am not here to be popular. Bishops have paid the price of blood for having opposed Nazism, Communism and all sorts of racism. Never will I be complicit in my silence in this new ideology.”

Almost certain that the Flemish bishops would not publish the new ritual for same sex blessings without secret papal encouragement - undermining the CDF. It fits the style of Francis. The Germans will be next.

When Archbishop De Kesel was appointed in 2016, he said on tv that he had "respect for the sexuality experience of homosexuals." Also Mgr. Bonny, bishop of Antwerp, is very pro LGBT. They are all modernists to the core, and not catholics. They are not shepherds but wolves in sheeps clothing...

I have no doubt in my mind they are not only modernists, not Catholic, but are gay themselves, and there is extra push on it because they are perverts!

Not Catholic. Absolute heresy.

Pure evil.

In November, Belgium’s bishops will make their first ad limina visit to Rome since 2010. That ought to be interesting...

Apostates! God must be very angry by allowing such men to be leaders of His Church.

Why doesnt the Bishop of Rome excommunicate; no! Why would he when he is leading the way of the church of the people and not of God!

A terrible scandal. Though apparently they are no denying it's a blessing, but James Martin has already said he thinks it is one. He may just have given their game away. Let's hope this results in a massive backlash.

Please contact your local bishops everyone. Ask them to speak out.

I called the spokesperson. It's not a blessing. It is about accompaniment but not a doctrinal document, but about accompanying all people in there state of life. Doesn't deny sinfulness technically apparentlty. Anyone want the number?
