Francis Reaffirms Ban On Contraception

The unitive and procreative aspects of sexual intercourse are “inseparable”, Francis said in an April 28 message to a Natural Family Planning conference, reaffirming Catholic teaching that confirms that contraception is sinful.
Francis even writes that a counter-sexual revolution is needed and that contraception has impoverished many societies and that some [= many] countries are now in danger of demographic collapse.
It can be ruled out that he will put these nice words into action, much like John Paul II who presented an elaborate moral teaching and then appointed bishops who opposed it.

Bergoglio's doublespeak:
The Remnant Blog Argentinian: “If You Try to Understand Francis, You Will Lose Your Reason”

In the Fall of 2013 a well-known Catholic intellectual from South America, a highly recognized university professor, Lucrecia Rego de Planas, who knows Bergoglio well and who worked with him, among other things, gave a portrait of the man.

An open letter to Pope Francis from Lucrecia Rego de Planas (an Argentinian):

“Bergoglio wants to be loved by everyone and please everyone. In this sense one day he will talk on TV against abortion and the next day he will bless the pro abortionist in the Plaza de Mayo; he could give a marvelous talk against the Masons (Masonic Order) and, an hour later, eat and drink with them at the Rotary Club.......this is the Cardinal Bergoglio whom I know close up. One day busy in a lively chat with Bishop Aguer about the defense of life and the liturgy and the same day, at dinner, having a lively talk with Mons. Ysern and Mons. Rosa Chavez about base communities and the terrible obstacles that are presented by the Church's dogmatic teachings. One day a friend of Cardinal Cipriani and Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga speaking about business ethics and against the New Age ideology and little latter a friend of Casaldaliga and Boff speaking about the class struggle and the "richness" of Eastern techniques which could contribute to the Church.” by Lucrecia Rego de Planas

Bergoglio's double face
The Argentine journalist homosexual activist Bruno Bimbi also declared in an interview that Bergoglio in Argentina behind the scenes supported homosexual civil unions and called them to explain and tell them that the letter to the Carmelites where he allegedly attacked gay pseudo-marriage was because he was under pressure.

Bergoglio is simply using Peronist tactics. A Peronist never presents himself as a simple moderate, a compromiser. He always champions positions cherished by one side and hated by the other side. But he will alternate between theses extremes constantly.
He will never counsel compromise between the two sides. He throws out the "red meat" to both opposing extremes to keep everyone scratching their …More
Bergoglio is simply using Peronist tactics. A Peronist never presents himself as a simple moderate, a compromiser. He always champions positions cherished by one side and hated by the other side. But he will alternate between theses extremes constantly.

He will never counsel compromise between the two sides. He throws out the "red meat" to both opposing extremes to keep everyone scratching their heads. He does this to distract and confuse, so that he can proceed with his actual plan behind the scenes.

For example, one day he will say that the Catholic sexual teaching is "still in diapers." The next day, he will say that "the unitive and procreative ends of marriage" must never be separated.

There is no intellectual coherence to this or any of his positions. Don't waste your time trying to make any sense out of it. Everything he says publicly is for manipulative purposes. He is the deceiver. And is ultimate goal is to destroy the Catholic Church.

@PNF....spot on!!!!

A regular zig zag. On the one hand it makes correct statements, only to allow or de facto encourage the opposite.
Thus, it seems that nothing has changed, but his agenda is becoming more and more established every day.

Nothing new to see here - just the old "Vatican 2-step" One good statement, followed by a terrible "pastoral" approach that upends truth.

I hope these good comments he made hold. The homos and TRANs perverts are probably having collective hissy fits, as well as the cardinals, bishops, priests who support them.
John A Cassani
This was just one of the many times he has read something written by an actual Catholic. It probably means he’s going to do something soon to undermine it.
