Take note, God didn't destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. The people wanted to rape the "visitors" as a means to humiliate them. I wouldn't even say "God' destroyed, but rather the "visitors" destroyed.

Don't you question why lot was willing to give up his only daughters to be raped to death? As a matter of fact, it was not righteousness that saved lot, it was simply his connection to Abraham. That was all. I've seen Christian authors try to concert shenanigans (subconscious infiltration of thoughts kobo!!!) to claim that lot was righteous. Will a righteous man throw out his daughters like that? Think godamnit! Think!

Your interpretation is wrong!
What Lot meant was marriage and as a Prophet all daughters in the land are (like) his daughters!

Same-sex is sinful
Stealing is sinful
Fornication or adultery is sinful

Turn away from sin and accept Christ's nature

But then

Love your neighbours as you love yourself.

Don't judge


That is why even the constitution governing countries is twisted in court. Even in sports, laws are bent by athletes. As long as there is a law, we must twist!!

Don't judge others obviously means because you stole for instance l, I should not see you as a bad or evil person, but of course I should condemn the stealing and not condone it

I cannot as a priest join same sex couples already condemned by God in church, but that does not mean that because you are gay and in need of financial assistance, I shouldn't help. That already means I have judged that human as a bad person.

In summary, condemn the act, have nothing to do with it, but don't condemn the individual.

This pope seems to be legalizing what God Himself loathe

Just like that of the old, when Abraham was pleading for Sodom and Gomorrah, if God should ask Abraham again, can we even find 5 righteous people in this world

Word of advice: don't depend on man. Depend on God's words and his teachings, know your Bible inside out. So that you can stand firm at all times for the end time is near!!!

Do not follow the headlines, try to read the Pope speech. Many individuals on this thread will just speak without reading what the pope said.
First and foremost the pope is against same sex marriage, but he said a priest can bless them or pray for them provided it doesn't translate to blessing the union. These are just normal blessings we seek from a priest.

Pray for the catholic Church in same manner as you pray for Ukraine, Russia, Isreal and Palestine.

The Church is at war with itself and truth. Even here in Nigeria, the Catholics are at war with themselves and the truth. Some are in favour of the reforms and saying " Yes Daddy " upandan while some are opposed to it but can't speak up against it because they are scared of losing. Father Mbaka and other Nigerian Catholics would have reacted to this if it's local Nigerian politics, endorsing candidates. For the supporters of Father Mbaka, this doesn't involve attacking the Bishop of Enugu Diocese. Father Kuka would have written a long piece to lambast our leaders as not being truthful.

So what's the truth? With account of how they have used their influence to interpret and dispense their faith, could the Catholic Church be today facing its past? At some point in the world, they were the only one with the original scrolls and its content.

To what extent can they 'reform' and to what extent in the past have they reformed the original scrolls content of today's authority from which the Christian faith draws its doctrines?This Catholic sef. Let us just pray for them.Check my signature for free stuffs!
What brought "Yes Daddy" into all this?You are always seeking occasion to do some unnecessary mudslinging and jabs.

Your ignorance stinks to high heaven. Who wrote the bible? Who call it words of God? Have you seen God? How do you know it is somebody's words yet you haven't seen the person? It is at this point you should know that religion is man-made. There is a thin line between religion and politics and that makes them a siamese twin, just like two sides of the same coin...

Pope fires anti-LGBTQ bishop
The American prelate had criticized the pontiff as being too liberal on divorce, abortion, and same-sex marriage

Texas Bishop Joseph Strickland, a prominent figure among traditionalist American Catholics and critic of Pope Francis for making the church more welcoming to the LGBTQ community, was removed from his post as bishop of Tyler, the Vatican has said.

In a statement released on Saturday, the Vatican confirmed that the decision followed “an apostolic visitation ordered by the Pope last June in the Diocese of Tyler,” but did not specify the reason.

“The Holy Father has removed Bishop Joseph E. Strickland from the pastoral governance of the diocese of Tyler, United States of America, and has appointed Bishop Joe Vásquez of Austin as apostolic administrator of the same diocese, rendering it sede vacante.”

According to the statement, cited by the Vatican news, “as a result of visitation,” Bishop Strickland’s continuation in office was deemed “not feasible” and he was asked to resign on Thursday. Since the request was declined by the bishop, Pope Frances decided to remove him.

Strickland has repeatedly criticized the Pope’s liberal position on issues such as transgender rights and same-sex marriage, and accused the pope of “undermining the Deposit of Faith.”

Earlier this year, Pope Francis, whose papacy began in 2013, stated that “being homosexual isn’t a crime.” This was seen as a move by the leadership of the Catholic Church to take a firmer position of solidarity with the LGBTQ community, which was strongly opposed by conservative bishops and traditionalists.

Last August, Francis blasted the “backwardness” of these conservative bishops, accusing them of “replacing faith with ideology,” and saying that “a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.”

The Catholic community was outraged by Strickland’s dismissal, with some calling the pope a “dictator.”

“Like a Soviet-era dictator, and in a raw exercise of power without provision of law, Pope Francis has removed Bp. Joseph Strickland as bishop of Tyler, TX,” the Lepanto Institute, a Virginia-based organization dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church, wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Others accused the church of “tyranny” and called Strickland’s removal ”a cowardly form of authoritarianism.”

Whether it was homosexuality or another transgression, such as the act of inhospitable behavior towards visitors, the act of sexual assault, murder, theft, adultery, idolatry, power abuses, or prideful and mocking behavior, that was the principal reason for God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Pope simply exercising his political power. The man was simply being silly. You don't enter a corporation, begin to oppose the CEO and not expect him to cut you off when he finally becomes tired of your shenanigans. undecided

You lack complete knowledge and understanding of what it means to be a CHRISTIAN and stand for the TRUTH and by the TRUTH. ...what it means to carry your CROSS and follow Christ even if the world loathes , hates and persecute you.

Take your time and watch a documentary or read about Father Malachi of blessed memory of the Catholic church.....you will understand that Christianity is not a"Corporation" owned by the pope, but it is a new life that is owned and fathered by God Almighty....and as such, every christian, religious leaders and even the pope(who happens to be flesh and human) answers to nobody but God Almighty. The corporation that sacked priest entered was a corporation not belonging to the pope but to God Almighty. And he was sacked because he stood by the very principles ordained by God for us to follow.

Whatever Catholic Church is, it is not a church based on the Bible.

Just take note of what the Pope has been doing:

On Thursday, the Vatican announced that transgender people can be baptised in the Catholic Church, as long as doing so does not cause scandal or "confusion".
In October, he suggested that the Church would be open to bless same-sex couples, as he told a group of cardinals "we cannot be judges who only deny, reject and exclude".
Speaking at a meeting at the World Youth Day celebrations in Lisbon the Pope said the backwardness of some people was "useless".
