Cardinal Cupich submitted his request for resignation two years ago. Not a good look for Pope Leo. The American laity request Cupich’s replacement in this era of synodality and listening. He has done untold damage to the Church

"Tuhan yang melakukannya": Austin Applebee, 13 tahun, berenang selama hampir empat jam di lautan lepas di lepas pantai Australia Barat untuk mencari pertolongan bagi ibu dan dua adiknya, yang terseret arus ke laut ketika sedang bermain kayak dan paddleboard. Melawan arus yang kuat dan air yang membeku, ia berenang jauh melampaui kemampuan orang dewasa yang terlatih. Dia mengatakan bahwa dia terus berdoa sampai dia mencapai pantai: "Saya rasa bukan saya yang berenang... Itu adalah Tuhan sepanjang waktu. Saya terus berdoa, saya terus berdoa. Saya mengatakan kepada Tuhan bahwa saya akan dibaptis."
This boy is a hero. 13-year-old Australian boy shared the moment he swam 4 hours in the freezing ocean to rescue his family after his mother and younger siblings nearly drowned when they drifted miles out to sea while kayaking and paddleboarding. During the interview, he claimed God gave him the strength to defy the odds, sharing how he constantly prayed until he reached shore. "I don't think it was actually me [swimming]... It was God the whole time. I kept on praying, kept on praying. I said to God, 'I'll get baptized.'"
God dwells within every human life and this idea can offer consolation and direction to homosexual Catholics, writes pro-homosexual Malta Archbishop Charles Scicluna on the pro-homosexual Outreach.faith (February 3) His text employes psychological categories and rhetoric such as “feelings”, “wounds”, “weaknesses”, “fear”, “self-punishment”, “self-doubt”, “dependence”, “healing”, and so on. As if there were no sin, Monsignor Scicluna claims that “our stories, relationships, questions and identities are never beyond God’s loving gaze”. He believes that “our lived experiences—including our questions, wounds and hopes—are not obstacles to God, but places of encounter”. “Many of us, including LGBTQ Catholics, experience fragmentation: a sense of being divided between faith and identity, church and self, hope and fear. God’s presence gently draws us towards integration and peace.” The key phrase is: “We are called to become people who welcome, listen and accompany others with …Lebih
Of course the church should follow in Jesus' footsteps to love, sacrifice, and CALL TO REPENTANCE all his children. When we do not call those enslaved to sin to repentance, we do not love them, we lock them away from God's mercy. Jesus did not accompany Mary Magdalene in her sin, but called her to sin no more. The very concept of original sin says, how you were born does not determine your destiny unless you refuse God's grace to change.
“We are called to become people who welcome, listen and accompany others with respect and tenderness irrespective of religious, cultural, racial or sexual differences. This is what God’s inclusive love is all about.” But if you die in mortal sin, nothing of the above will help. This bishop is deliberately muddying the waters.
Tuhan berdiam di dalam setiap kehidupan manusia dan gagasan ini dapat memberikan penghiburan dan arahan bagi umat Katolik yang homoseksual, tulis Uskup Agung Malta yang pro-homoseksual, Charles Scicluna, di situs pro-homoseksual Outreach.faith (3 Februari) Teksnya menggunakan kategori dan retorika psikologis seperti "perasaan", "luka", "kelemahan", "ketakutan", "menghukum diri sendiri", "keraguan diri", "ketergantungan", "penyembuhan", dan seterusnya. Seolah-olah tidak ada dosa, Monsinyur Scicluna mengklaim bahwa "kisah, hubungan, pertanyaan, dan identitas kita tidak pernah berada di luar tatapan penuh kasih Tuhan". Dia percaya bahwa "pengalaman hidup kita - termasuk pertanyaan, luka dan harapan kita - bukanlah halangan bagi Tuhan, melainkan tempat perjumpaan". "Banyak dari kita, termasuk umat Katolik LGBTQ, mengalami perpecahan: perasaan terbagi antara iman dan identitas, gereja dan diri sendiri, harapan dan ketakutan. Kehadiran Tuhan dengan lembut menarik kita menuju integrasi dan …Lebih

“There has been a confusion in the Church with regard to moral questions”, Cardinal Raymond Burke told the Substack.com-Account Per Mariam on February 5. “There are questions of intrinsic evils, for instance the killing of an innocent, defenseless human life is always and everywhere wrong. It’s intrinsically evil.” Regarding the million babies killed in the womb every year in the USA, Cardinal Burke said that it is “really infanticide”. About Euthanasia and the denial of nutrition and hydration to patients, Cardinal Burke said: “The Church has first of all, to announce clearly her teaching and not in any way give the impression that She’s unsure about what should happen in these cases, but at the same time to support those members of the faithful who are trying to establish Catholic medical schools, truly Catholic hospitals.” On contraception, he said that it is “an attack on marriage“: “The true meaning of our human sexuality is that it’s not for lust, but it’s for love.” Cardinal …Lebih
Nice words, but....This would have sufficed back in 2013 or 2014. 12 years later and tens of millions of souls lost, this kind of response is just a sad reminder of the current state of the affairs among those who wear blood-red cardinal hats.

Beberapa orang paderi sedang membahagikan Holy Communion ketika 13hb Oktober atas usaha Kardinal John Henry Newman dan paderi lain di Saint Peter's square, enggan meletakkan hos berkonsekrat pada tangan orang ramai. Sebuah video (di bawah) menunjukkan bagaimana seorang paderi menolak orang ramai, ada yang berpakaian cassock, sedia untuk menerima Communion di tangan mereka, daripada meletakkan hos berkonsekrated terus ke mulut mereka . Communion pada tangan merupakan kelakuan yang penuh kesucian is a sacrilege kerana ia tidak boleh diganggu tanpa membuang bahagian kecil hos ke lantai. Akan tetapi, di Saint Peter's, Communion diberikan atas tangan adalah dilarang, kerana orang ramai akan mengutip hos, letakkan ia bersama dan kadang-kala jual dalam internet. #newsJbedjhzoec

Atheis berbangsa Itali dan aktivis anti-Gereja Eugenio Scalfari, seorang wartawan yang sangat dipercayai Pope Francis dan whom kerap berinteraksi dalam sesi temuramah, menulis dalam La Repubblica (9hb Oktober) hingga yang seterusnya, “Mereka yang mempunyai peluang, seperti apa yang diperkatakan saya pada bebrapa kali yang lalu, untuk bertemu dengannya [= Francis] dan bercakap dengannya dengan pengetahuan kebudayaan yang mendalam dan penuh keyakinan olehnya, tahu bahawaPope Francis menganggap Christ sebagai Jesus dari Nazareth, seorang jejaka, tetapi bukan Tuhan kelahiran semula. Setelah lahir semula, Jesus berhenti menjadi Tuhan dan menjadi seorang lelaki, jejaka yang biasa sehingga kematiannya di atas salib. Dan, Apabila saya berbincang tentang tiga frasa ini, Pope Francis memberitahu saya: "Mereka adalah bukti yang kukuh bahawa Jesus, anak kelahiran Nazareth, setelah menjadi seorang lelaki biasa, mahupun Dia lelaki yang bernilai murni dan berkelainan, secara langsungnya, Dia bukan …Lebih
