  1. You can't bless a union that is not in the will or law of God. The document has raised a confusion between blessing a person in sin but not the sin.

  2. When you hold the pope infallible on church teachings…and he goes directly against Biblical teachings. Catholicism needs to get back to its pre-Constantine roots to get right.

  3. Would Jesus do this I feel devestated

  4. Sad how this “headline” opens way to discuss a new phone app, minimizing the importance the document. But there is more to the “headline” than what was said.

    Atte: The African Clergy have denounced the document, apologizing. Why isn’t CBS reporting this??? Seek truth elsewhere folks!! Notice I didn’t say news. Your soul is too valuable to stick your head inside a dirt hole and be deceived.

    Be aware that the Fidducia Supplicants documents is major. Some say it blesses couples, others say only the individuals. The enemy is deceitful. Go read it yourself. Everything else is hearsay.

    Also the Cathecism of the Catholic Church says #2358 reads:

    “The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.”

    Tolerance doesn’t mean cover up.

  5. Sick pope sick bullxxxx ever stupid

  6. For the Word of God its a no no no no no no no.

  7. The priest has to let the couple know if he’s a true priest of God‘s word that there UNION the romantic relationship goes against what the Bible teaches. And his blessing is for them to find conviction and turn away from their homosexual lifestyle and unless he does that then he’s ordaining lawless sin according to the Bible. His blessing would be telling them that their sinful lifestyle is OK. And that’s wrong! You cannot bless Sin even the pope said that two years ago with his own words. The church is more worried about keeping up with the Joneses and the times were living in that standing up with God and His living breathing word of truth the Bible.

  8. I see why ppl turning Muslim its like only the Christian Catholic is only religion they making changes likes😂

  9. If you people actually read the Bible you should know that in genesis it defines marriage as a union between man and woman so you can never blessed such a thing even jesus said its an abomination, God also burn down Sodom and Gamorrah because of their sinful practices such as rape and Homosexuality… Brother and sisters a pope a priest a pastor cannot get you to heaven but only through the personal relationship between you and Jesus Christ

  10. You are so confused — and it's no wonder. I'll just leave it at that.

  11. They are falsely representing popes words as i understand we all know that god hates sins right but he also loves lost sheeps jesus also roamed with sinners like prostitutes collectors but he said after freeing them from sins that not do it again and thats what pope is trying to implement as we can see growth in lgbtq community we cant see our brothers get lost or live satanic life like in sodom and gammorah but we can free them from sins to not be like that and first of all pope said that blessing of same sex marriage will consider it as marriage

  12. marriage or blessing , neither is permitted by GOD'S law

  13. I'm afraid he truly is the Antichrist

  14. Now i face with boldness all ppl who mocked me when i say Catholics are cultist

  15. God above all evil…..Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, the devil has surely infilitrated that particular pope……The devil's liberty on earth is indeed numbered

  16. As a kid I was taught only Catholics will go to heaven. I was so sad for my non-Catholic friends. The nonsense I believed.

  17. Any priest, bishop or member of the Catholic Clergy who who goes along with the Formal Heresy of "pope" Francis in the blessing of Mortal Sin are themselves guilty of Mortal Sin. It is not a "misunderstanding" of the faithful parishioners on the edicts of this diabolical "pope" it is the failure and utter disregard of the Commands of Christ The King by compliant clergy who will, when faced in Judgement be told to "Depart From Me to The Everlasting Fire Prepared For The Devil and his angels." No words of defense will be allowed by you to The Christ at your Judgement. Christ will present your sentence and you will mutely nod in acknowledgement that you defied His Commands and denied Him. This blessing would NEVER be done by Christ to Mortally Sinful relationships. He would forgive if forgiveness was sought but Christ would give the admonishment – "GO AND SIN NO MORE". This slippery Heresy of "Blessing Mortally Sinful Lifestyles" being promoted by Francis does NOTHING to admonish or correct these Mortally Sinful relationships. This is designed as a way to normalize and make these lost souls feel vindicated and ok with the perverse lifestyles they have chosen. Today is the day for you to reconcile with Christ and defy the wickedness now being promoted by Francis. You may not have tomorrow, but Eternity is a certainty and your place in it is the choice you make today.

  18. This Pope is gay I know him…. He don’t know the function of a vagina. We should not blame churches. Politics in churches

  19. If Papa Francis is Pope after the Rapture of Genuine Christians, he is guaranteed by Creator God to be the FALSE PROPHET of the one world RELIGION.

  20. Unfortunately, being PRACTICING ROMAN CATHOLIC GUARANTEES HELL. HOW.? By ignoring the Infinitely Truthful and Infinitely Holy Teachings of Creator God.

  21. How is it possible that the church laws are above The laws of Omnipotent, Omniscient Creator God.

  22. If anyone believes that Papa Francis is happy to OBEY ALMIGHTY CREATOR OMNISCIENT GOD, 😊they better learn more closely about this man of SIN. (What is more sinful than DISOBEYING CREATOR GOD, who brought that sinner into the world).

  23. Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

    Priests are almost certainly deluding and condemning souls for eternity with these blessings.

  24. Satan so churche head, by ordering blessing of homosex couple is against Nature and Holy Bible that he is carrying, it is devil's cannon deceiving the all Christianity, over this Mr. Popeeee is vigorously working hard for one world religion paving way for antichrist , harlots of Revalaton for the wrath of God, escape escape escape from this devils

  25. The word of god is very clear. You don’t play with god. I am very deeply saddened and troubled by this.

  26. He doesn't have the power to bless anyone. He's just another sick man that's against God

  27. This is why they removed the dislike button rate

  28. God forgive them . Have mercy on us Lord .

  29. FULLY IDENTIFIED… THERE IS NO DOUBT LEFT… THE OBJECTIVE OF THE HERETIC ATHEIST ca$trocomuni$t bergoglio & tucho IS TO DESTROY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

    FROM INSIDE … Vade retro Satana !

  30. So, basically: Pope Francis supports homosexuality.. ALSO! Android vs Apple.. how on earth can you switch from one topic to this?

  31. The foundation of Christianity is to follow the principles of the Bible. I pray people can finally see that the Pope and Catholicism has zero to do with Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

  32. Nothing Changed on Doctrine of the Apostolic Church Just Media Sensationalism and more slander. The Pope Did Not Even Write It. See For the Truth. if your a PRACTICING Catholic You already know this chttps://youtube.com/live/ydmPd1rixAY?si=oCHAOuhHmqu11ENS
    Sorry you Don't Know what you are talking about on the Church JESUS founded 2000 years ago and is the largest Charitable organization in the world helping people who are in poverty and suffering. I pray you take some simple Catholic Bible study and catholic catechism courses so you are not lost and come to understand and know the Truth not the lies you have heard . Nothing has changed you are still persecuting Jesus and his Church. its not about Following a religion a church or Pastor its about falling in love with GOD.

  33. So, if gay is ok, why not adultery?

  34. لاحظوا ان زوجة سيدنا لوط عليه السلام عاقبها الله مع انها لم تكن تفعل فعل الشذوذ(كان الشذوذ بين الرجال) ولكن الله عاقبها لانها رضيت بفعلهم ….فاحذروا …هذا البابا لا يمثل تعاليم الاله فاعزلوه من منصبه …

  35. No abc is reporting it otherwise. The blessing goes to the individual persons (sinners) but not the sin. The union is the sin. How then can God bless the sin??

  36. Antichrist is here …..

  37. I have a couple questions for the pope and any Catholics that are okay with this. Do you believe the Bible is the word of God? Do you take it seriously? The Bible is very clear on this topic cut and dry black and white. If the pope and Catholics actually went by what the Bible says, they would know God does not approve this move. God's feelings have not changed on any topic…. He is not persuaded by our modern day cultural and moral nosedive, clown world dumpster fire….
    That is being pushed by Satan and his demons. Come Lord Jesus get me out of this sick twisted dark 🌎

  38. They have hijacked the church too to destroy it, by their fruits, you shall know them, and no matter their global agenda and lies, Jesus Christ is Lord forever and the gates of hell shall never prevail against the Church of God.

  39. Hopefully, this new book due out in 2024, will expose the Pope and the Roman Catholic church crazy evil satanic stayements for what it truly is. For "the pope is crazy like a monkey eating a banana 🍌!"
