Bishop: Homosex "Blessing" Signifies "God’s Approval" [of Sin]

Homosex activist John Stowe, "bishop" of Lexington, Kentucky, is applauding Francis' statement that priests can "bless" homosex concubinages at their whim.
Speaking to Time.com (October 4), he said that homosex "blessings" can be of "great significance" to those who practise homosexuality because such "blessings" are like prayers for God's presence and help and "almost signify God's approval."
Stowe openly rejects the biblical condemnation of homosexual sins and regards "sexual orientation [such as paedophilia or necrophilia?]" as "not being something that one freely chooses."
The Catholic understanding of free will and responsibility has been rejected by many heretics. Luther, for example, claimed that the will is "subjugated" and that "free will is nothing".

Isn't the term exorcism?

Read on another website that due to pushback from the laity, one synod prelate "clarified" [?] that Francis wants the blessings of "individuals" not "unions" - meaning the persons involved, not some notion of "same-sex couples". BUT this seems a distinction without any difference! It still bespeaks approval of homosexuality.

Good point relating to Luther at the end of the article...

Als seksuele afwijkingen hebben dezelfde grondslag als pedofilie.

Lexington is a fairly new diocese, established in 1988. Its first bishop, Kendrick Williams, had to resign because of his homosexual history.
Williams had been highly recommended by Caj Kelly, the archbishop of Louisville. A few years earlier Bernardin had pushed Kelly for New York. That effort ended with a confrontation between Bernardin and JPII/Laghi.More

What is happening is that the Novus Ordo Church, Francis the header, is no longer insisting that its differences with the Church of the ages are inconsequential.

"This isn’t the sort of thing that can remain optional, given the politics of it. If the bishop says yes, each priest will have to either follow, or voluntarily withdraw from public ministry, or be “canceled.” It won’t necessarily happen immediately, but it won’t take long. Vocations will also dry up."

Very few priests would obey, just the radical liberal priests 65-70+ years of age. I spoke with seminarians, and priests.....NONE of whom would obey this directive. And many think Pope Francis is a heretic. Many said so openly. And afew said they think that he and his Vatican advisors are ALL gay.
Very few would obey this bishop, or any bishop declaring this. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Soon priests will disregard/disobey anything that comes from Pope Francis and his Vatican.......I know several who before this "Synod" never thought of it, but now are defying Pope Francis and offering the traditional Roman LAtin Mass for the faithful and encouraging their brother priests to do likewise. I asked 3 priests who are doing this if they would obey their bishop to stop....and all three said no!
Good for these heroes.
Vocations will dry up to the Bergoglian "church" as will the faithful, but the opposite will happen to traditional Orders and parishes. They will spread faster than anyone thought possible.

Yeah for Tradition/Orthodoxy

This is the issue that has real potential to disrupt, and even bring to an end the current way the Church does business, because this will be a “bridge too far” for many priests. This isn’t the sort of thing that can remain optional, given the politics of it.

@John A Cassani In Novus Ordo land, vocations have already dried up drastically. I think so many N.O. priests have had little or no spiritual formation, they would gladly go along with the 'gay' juggernaut. Not to mention government interference (fines, imprisonment etc) for those few clerics who refused to 'marry' or 'bless' same-sex couples. I've long thought the N.O. church will have to die, …More
@John A Cassani In Novus Ordo land, vocations have already dried up drastically. I think so many N.O. priests have had little or no spiritual formation, they would gladly go along with the 'gay' juggernaut. Not to mention government interference (fines, imprisonment etc) for those few clerics who refused to 'marry' or 'bless' same-sex couples. I've long thought the N.O. church will have to die, before the phoenix rises from the ashes and the Faith is restored. I recall the quote of Our Lady of Good Success, Quito, Ecuador (an ecclesiastically approved apparition): "To be delivered from the slavery of these heresies, those whom the merciful love of my Son has destined for this restoration will need great will-power, perseverance, courage, and confidence in God. To try the faith and trust of these just ones, there will be times when all will seem lost and paralyzed. It will then be the happy beginning of the complete restoration…."

@English Catholic I’m sure you’re right, in some places. In the US, most priests ordained in the past 20-25 years are markedly more Catholic than older priests though. Refusing may very well lead to loss of livelihood, and that will bring some to violate their consciences, but I think many will “draw the line.” That is my hope, anyway. One way or another, I believe that Novus Ordo land is going …More

One way or another, I believe that Novus Ordo land is going to decline catastrophically (and it already has since 2020) in the next 5 years, such that dioceses will be unrecognizable as to how they conduct business.

Everyone who is a good Catholic there should ignore, disregard, and disobey this "bishop" and stad for Catholic Truth....which is opposite to him.

Did the Pope really say a priest can bless Homo sodomy practice. A Saint once said that demons are actually disgusted by sodomy because it goes completely against the natural order. Our Lady of Akita warned about all of this. Soon it will rain fire from the skies!!! These heretical bishops just invoked the wrath of God the Father on all of humanity.

Thi bishop isn't Catholic. He's a Bergoglian.

De Rooms Katholieke kerk, niet het Rooms Katholieke geloof maar de kerkelijk organisatie onder leiding van Paus Franciscus, degradeert zichzelf tot een linkse politieke organisatie.
