Antonazzo, bishop of Sora, opens to divorced and separated couples, to unmarried partners and especially to gays

 

A) The text of the speech:

Gerardo Antonazzo, bishop, of the church of Rome, of the diocese of Sora-Cassino-Aquino-Pontecorvo writes:

65. (…) There are some particular situations that the Christian community has to solve with discernment and maternal care:
– couples who cohabit without any civil or religious ties;
– couples who celebrate only a civil marriage;
– couples who decide for a religious marriage because they are expecting a baby (“shotgun wedding”);
– couples who, after having celebrated the sacrament of marriage, decide for separation, and then most often come to divorce;
– civil unions of homosexual persons.

Canonical matrimonial process
67. Different matrimonial situations in a “crisis” state and under conditions of “irregularity” deserve a wise discernment.
In this regard, it is necessary to more widely inform our lay faithful about the reform of the canonical process established by Pope Francis. With the help of specific consultants, couples in a condition of separation or divorce, should be encouraged to explore the possible motives impairing the marriage in place, reasons that may also corroborated by particular situations and circumstances, in order to gain access to the canonical proceedings for the declaration of invalidity. The Motu proprio “Mitis Iudex” of Pope Francis, established the form for the “short process”, whose implementation is entrusted to the diocesan bishop.

Couples who cohabit
68. (….) If the union of cohabiting people, who ordinarily practice Christian life, shows a remarkable stability, a deep affection, a responsibility towards their children, strength in trials, these must be seen as a situation to be accompanied, by every effort, toward the sacrament of marriage, by establishing an open and constructive dialogue with the couple to illustrate the newness and beauty of the sacramental love.

Couples married with a civil ceremony
69.The decision to make a marital union stable even only with a civil ceremony is more appreciable than cohabitation, but imperfect according to the Christian vision of love. (…)

Separated and divorced faithful people
71.(…) It is recalled that, through proper discernment and specific preparation, separated and divorced faithful people, are allowed to access to sacraments, ecclesial services and the function of godfather and godmother.

Civil unions of homosexual people
75.”(…) In particular, an explicitly homosexual person may be admitted to the sacrament of confession and communion, as well as may act as a godfather or godmother, provided that there is not in place a well-known real cohabitation”.

85.This possibility can be further corroborated when divorced and remarried people “are subjectively certain in their conscience that their previous marriage, irreparably destroyed, had never been valid”. These particular situations described above, cannot prevent divorced and remarried people from receiving the help of the Church, and it is not excluded, the help of the Sacraments.

With reference to one of the conditions required for divorced and remarried people to be admitted to the Sacraments, namely the obligation to live “as brothers and sisters”, Pope Francis’s Exhortation applies to the couples of the divorced remarried people as asserted by Vatican Council II for regular couples about the value of sexual relations, because in the absence of these, “it is not rare that fidelity is endangered and the good of children can be compromised” (Gerardo Antonazzo, Bishop of the Diocese of Sora – Cassino – Aquino – Pontecorvo , Pastoral letter for the year 2016 – 2017, August 2016)

 

B) References to Scriptures:

The man who has intercourse with a man in the same way as with a woman: they have done a hateful thing together” (Lev 20:13)

They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh. So then, what God has united, human beings must not divide.’ They said to him, ‘Then why did Moses command that a writ of dismissal should be given in cases of divorce?’ He said to them, ‘It was because you were so hard-hearted, that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but it was not like this from the beginning. Now I say this to you: anyone who divorces his wife – I am not speaking of an illicit marriage – and marries another, is guilty of adultery.‘ ” (Mat 19:6-9)

 

C) Comment:

The pastoral letter for the year 2016-2017 of Gerardo Antonazzo, bishop of the Roman Church, Diocese of Sora, is a total opening to separated and divorced couples, to unmarried partners, to those who are united only in a civil rite, to common-law couples, and, last but not least, to homosexuals.

In doing so, the Diocese of Sora – Cassino – Aquino – Pontecorvo puts into practice the new doctrine of Bergoglio, adopting the principles introduced by the wretched document of Bergoglio’s magisterium, mockingly called Amoris Laetitia, which in effect destroys the magisterium of Christ regarding the Family.

Here are the rotten fruits of Bergoglio’s teachings that concretely, from the center (Rome), arrive to the suburbs, where first the bishops and then the priests of the church of Rome are increasingly working to destroy the teachings of Christ, following the heretic teachings of Bergoglio.

But the diocese of Sora is not an ordinary one. Although for many it is an insignificant reality in itself, this diocese is a frontier diocese, where the clash between Good and evil is more alive than ever. In that territory God the Father has re-established the Church of Christ, giving life to the Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem to defend the authentic teachings of Christ and the purity of Faith.

This is why everything that happens in that area, has a particular importance and relevance. It is not a coincidence that the anger and hatred of Bergoglio and of the church of Rome have inveighed, by an act of excommunication (the only case in all the world), only against the Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem.

The reality is that Bergoglio and the church of Rome fear the actions of the Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem, because She bravely advances and denounces the actions inspired by the anti-Christic spirit that animates the church of Rome, without drawing back in front of the enormous human power that such institution exercises against who is insignificant for the world. But not for God.

True Christians, indeed, do not fear the power of the world. True Christians only fear the judgment of God, that will win and will annihilate every world power, contrary and opposed to Him. This is the reliance and pride of the Christians of the Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem.

It would be too easy to launch an invective against Gerardo Antonazzo and the ridiculous and hypocritical content of his so-called pastoral letter.

It would be too easy to say that Antonazzo willingly opens to homosexuals by virtue of his tendencies, that the recent news reports have publicly expressed and made known.

It would be too easy to highlight the total hypocrisy of Antonazzo who says that homosexuals must be accepted in the church “provided that there is not in place a well-known real cohabitation“. That is like saying to homosexuals: “do it, but do not let it be found out publicly”.

It would be too easy to say that, in the Diocese of Sora, homosexuals would be certainly welcomed with affection and receive a caring and … affectionate hug from Antonazzo, after having himself received one, … thoughtful and ….. equally affectionate from the emeritus Bishop Brandolini (the one who sternly attacked Giuseppina Norcia while She was in life and who now attacks Samuele Morcia).

The church of Rome, the great prostitute (Rev 17), will perish, crushed and overwhelmed by her own scandals that can no longer be hidden. The wrath of God the Father will befall on her, that should have remained holy and instead has become the harlot, having betrayed her Holy Spouse, Christ, to chase unholy passions and for the greed of the power of the world.
