Cardinal notes “changing understandings of gender,” says Church must discern how to change. At Leo XIV's meeting marking ten years of Amoris Laetitia on October 8, Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão delivered a speech on the challenges facing families in Asia. He is the President of the Conference of Bishops of India. Discussing changes in the “identity, nature and composition of the family,” the cardinal observed that “new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings.” Reflecting on what the Church has learned from its pastoral work, Ferrão declared: “Pastoral work is itself a place of discernment. We don't arrive with ready-made answers. We discern together with families and, in doing so, we learn how the Church herself is being asked to change.” In his conclusion, the cardinal stated that “there is no single stereotype of an ideal family” and asked, “What is the Holy Spirit asking the Church to change – not …More
I would challenge the cardinal to ask any 5 year old how many genders there are. They will give the correct answer than this cardinal will the answer, too. Apparently, he never learned it. Or, he knows the answer and is out to destroy the Church with demonic teachings.
Apostate and Gay activistJames Martin suggests his critics struggle ‘with their own sexuality’ 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Are you not aware that wrongdoers will never inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, extortioners, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller declared that the Marian title Co-Redemptrix expresses “a truth objectively contained in revelation”. He said at the De Maria numquam satis conference in Rome on October 8 that the title is neither “a misleading attribution nor an enthusiastic exaggeration.” “This title must not be silenced because of rejection by Protestants,” Cardinal Müller said, criticizing the Protestant understanding of justification for excluding man's free cooperation in redemption. Cardinal Müller also rejected the objection that the title Co-Redemptrix appeared only in the late Middle Ages. “The fact that a truth of faith is contained in Revelation must not be confused with its conceptual formulation,” he said, comparing its development to the later theological formulation of Christological doctrines. “Anyone who knows the rules of Catholic theology can find no reason for scandal in the analogical use of Christological and soteriological titles,” he added. Cardinal Müller did not …More
A house (church) divided against itself, will not last. The traditionalists MUST hold fast and never accept the modernist ideas that are attacking dogma and morality.
Comments on St. Therese’s Offer in Holocaust to God’s Merciful Love by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Saint of the Day, Monday, April 17, 1967 Saint Galdinus, Confessor, cardinal and archbishop of Milan, gave his soul to God after a sermon against heretics. What a beautiful death! That is how I would like to die! After doing the most radical thing against heretics in my life, to pronounce the words “Our Lady” and die. That is how one should die. That would fill my soul. Our Lady will dispose of us as She sees fit. Since there is no Saint of the Day today, Dr. Paulinho forwarded to me a request from Chilean members to comment on an excerpt from St. Therese’s Offering to God’s Merciful Love. Here is the text: “I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg of you to take away my freedom to displease You. If through weakness I sometimes fall, may Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself. …More

“The Creator is the source of human dignity, not the State.” Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk of Utrecht, Netherlands, argued in an October 8 interview with LaNuovaBq.it that democratic majorities cannot determine fundamental human rights. Without recognition of God as Creator, the State assumes the power to decide who deserves legal protection and who does not, including unborn children. Eijk insisted that legislation must be grounded in natural moral law. He also pointed to growing numbers of young Catholics in France, the Netherlands and England who embrace Church doctrine as a sign of hope.
