Monsignor Schneider: Fiducia Supplicans Allows Blessing of Abomination

Bishop Athanasius Schneider published on CrisisMagazine.com (17 June) an in-depth analysis of Francis' homosexual manifesto 'Fiducia Supplicans'. Main points:

- Those who live a life that is displeasing to God cannot effectively receive God's blessing without first repenting of their sinful lifestyle.

- A priest is not authorised to give blessings that would be offensive to God, for example a priest cannot bless a philosophy professor who declares that he is going to give a lecture promoting atheism.

- Turning a blind eye to homosexual sin and going so far as to bless a person who identifies with it is tantamount to blessing an abomination.

- By the logic of 'Fiducia Supplicans', a priest could legitimately bless a married man and his mistress, a priest living in open concubinage, a murderous and unrepentant gang member, or a dictator starving millions of innocent people.

- Those who support such "blessings" are de facto encouraging homosexual concubines to continue their sin, for which God will condemn them.

- Such "blessings" fit the definition of scandal because they lead others into sin.

- Homosexuals who take part in homosexual marches, dressed in strange clothes and waving homosexual propaganda, can, according to 'Fiducia supplicans', go into a church, by prior arrangement with the priest, stand in line and ask for a 'simple' and 'spontaneous' "blessing".

- This "blessing" helps them to justify their propaganda efforts to promote the "rights" of homosexual sin.

- Some Church communities become de facto promoters of homosexual ideology.

- Outsiders will assume that receiving a "blessing" means entering into some kind of marital bond.

- Bishops and priests will be told that their Church has sanctioned such "blessings", and that their refusal to grant them constitutes "hostile behaviour" towards people engaged in homosexual sin.

- Homosexual concubines are likely to make an appointment with the priest to receive a "spontaneous" and "non-liturgical" blessing, and may even enter into a homosexual "marriage" in a civil court or non-Catholic church just before receiving the blessing.

- The meaning of this "simple" or "brief" blessing can easily be extended far beyond its officially promoted intent, so that there are long-term, far-reaching latent agendas behind its issuance.

- Refusing to "bless" homosexual concubines is not an act of disobedience to the Church, but only to those Church authorities who abuse their power.

- The manifesto 'Fiducia Supplicans' seriously undermines Catholic faith and morals by transforming the Catholic Church in practice into a nurturing environment for unrepentant sinners engaged in sexual sins of any type.

What's not addressed is the push by Francis to priests whose faith is so weak... with such an "authority" recomending blessing the unrepentant it seems more easy for such to bless them. I talked to a filipino priest and he was "open" to bless gay unions despite the gigantic apostasy, they dont see it as a heresy even less apostasy.

Our archdiosecean seminary was the usuall, corrupt, lax Vatican II seminary which hated Catholic tradition and faithful followed the Vatican II line with vigor. The result, pre-Vatican II, 580 seminarians. Post Vatican II (2024)- 136 seminarians of which 40+ are for our own diocese whearas before Vatican II of the 580 it would be somewhere like 475.
Now the seminary, a huge building on 150+ acres …More

Now the seminary, a huge building on 150+ acres is sold and closing. A big giant white cross from the reign of "do nothing but travel" Pope JPII was carted away to another location last week.
The "new seminary", purchasing space at a Catholic college, is in for a shock in the next year or so, especially if gay-boy Francis and his crew implement more restrictions on the TLM. THey are at 130+ seminarians nown, but will drop quickly if the worst happens. Within 2 years, they could fit all their seminarians into the 5 bedroom house my family has at the New Jersey Shore ( they could fit about 20 seminarians). And they might have even less than that before long!

The teaching in seminaries has not been anything like Catholic for decades especially around the Incarnstion, Resurrection, The Eucharist and in Mariology
