Family Day on one side, Bergoglio on the other: “No human condition should be reason of exclusion”
A) The text of the speech by J.M.Bergoglio:
“Jesus’ prophetic ministry consists precisely in this: in declaring that no human condition can constitute a reason for exclusion — no human condition can constitute a reason for exclusion! — from the Father’s heart, and that the only privilege in the eyes of God is that of not having privileges, of not having godparents, of being abandoned in his hands” (Angelus, Saint Peter’s Square Sunday, 31 January 2016)
B) References to Scriptures:
“God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them” (Gen 1:27)
“Do you not realise that people who do evil will never inherit the kingdom of God? Make no mistake the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, the self-indulgent, sodomites, thieves, misers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers, none of these will inherit the kingdom of God” (1Co 6:9-10)
“Many false prophets will arise; they will deceive many, and with the increase of lawlessness, love in most people will grow cold; but anyone who stands firm to the end will be saved. ‘This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed to the whole world as evidence to the nations. And then the end will come. ‘So when you see the appalling abomination, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those in Judaea must escape to the mountains; if anyone is on the housetop, he must not come down to collect his belongings from the house; if anyone is in the fields, he must not turn back to fetch his cloak. Alas for those with child, or with babies at the breast, when those days come! Pray that you will not have to make your escape in winter or on a Sabbath” (Mat 24:11-20)
C) Comment:
On the day when, in Rome, many Christians mobilize themselves organizing the Family Day to defend the rights of the natural family and of children, from those who would like to promote, in Italy, laws to foster the union of homosexual people that demand rights even in the adoption of children, what does Bergoglio do? Does he defend the natural family, as it was created by God? Does he say that homosexuality is a sin? Never let it be said! Bergoglio goes far beyond his famous statement of “who am I to judge (gays)?“. He defends them.
In fact, Bergoglio repeats twice that “no human condition should be reason of exclusion“. So for Bergoglio, God will not exclude anybody (from the Kingdom), not even homosexuals. But St. Paul (cf. 1 Cor 6) says the exact opposite: “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminates, nor sodomites … will inherit the kingdom of God “.
Bergoglio speaks as a politician. He says without explaining. But this time he makes himself well understood. Bergoglio, the one of “who am I to judge (gays)”, is consistent with his thinking regarding the family. Bergoglio does not speak to defend the family wanted by God.
Bergoglio humiliates the family and all those Christians that ho were waiting for a word of comfort from the one who should be their pastor, their defender. Instead, the sheep took to the streets to defend the family, do not find their defender. Bergoglio in fact defends the others, not the family.
If Bergoglio had kept silent, he would have made a poor showing but at least he would have spared the humiliation of millions of Christians who were waiting to be defended and that instead feel betrayed.
Bergoglio has not acted as a shepherd in defence of his flock. Once the flock is self-rallied, Bergoglio deceitfully intervened to give the sheeps the finishing blow. In addition to injury, the insult.
Not all evil comes to harm, lambs of God. Open your eyes and your heart; and keep your minds and consciences alive, so no one may deceive you. The cowl does not make the monk. Do not look at the colour of the clothes, look at the colour of the heart. If the heart is black, flee. “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place – let the reader understand – then those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, who is on the housetop not come down to take the home stuff, and who is in the field not turn back to take his clothes “(Mt 24.15 to 18)
