well folks the pope is holding a Cod
which is basically a gathering where
they talk over the issues and as always
he is pushing a left-leaning agenda
yesterday according to the New York
Times the Vatican assembly put the
church's most sensitive issues on the
table they are they're H holding a Cod
and this Cade is basically they get
together and they discuss really
controversial issues the issues under
discussion will include Priestly
celibacy married priests the blessing of
gay couples the extension of sacraments
to the divorce and the ordination of
female deacons detractors are wary of
the nature of the assembly known as a
sen they've criticized it as a
bureaucratic t ofon or as an Insidious
trojan horse for progressives to erode
the church's Traditions under the cloak
of collegiality supporters see a chance
to put into practice the post bottom-up
view of the church as an inclusive
institution it's an amazing moment said
Renee Kar Ryan the dean of the school of
philosophy and theology at University of
Notre Dame Australia will be the voting
participant in the meeting one of the
first women ever to do
so many of the issues are
contentious so apparently the the this
role RS out kind of slowly and in secret
with that said there are a bunch of of
people who have been invited who are
very far to the left the Reverend James
Martin a Jesuit priest and advocate for
lgbtq Catholics was personally invited
by Pope Francis to
participate Helena Jepson spooler who
works for the Swiss Catholic Lenton fund
a Catholic relief agency will
participate she said the church would
required change to survive adding She
would pragmatically argue for women to
be ordained as deacons as a first step
to becoming priests and Bishop
so again this is really controversial
stuff the Vatican released a response
dated September 25th written in Spanish
bearing Fran's signature that seemed to
reverse a 2021 Vatican note that came
down hard against the blessing of gay
unions on Monday five of the church's
most conservative Cardinals made public
a letter they had sent to Francis asking
for a clarification of his thinking on
these issues in francis's new letter he
clearly upheld the church position that
marriage only exists between a man and a
woman but he added the priests should
exercise quote pastoral charity when it
came to requests for blessings instead
of acting as naysaying judges or
following new protocols priests should
be open to channels beyond beyond norms
and the possibility there are forms of
benediction requested by one or more
persons that do not transmit a mistaken
conception of
marriage what the hell does that mean I
don't even understand how do you issue a
blessing for an act that is barged by
scripture I don't what what exactly
would that look like I bless you and
hope that you guys have a happy life
together is is in fact an endorsement of
an of an action that the church consider
sinful so I I don't know how you split
this baby the fact is that Pope France's
position on these issues feels a lot
like bar Barack Obama's position on
these issues Circa about 2008 he he was
against gay marriage totally against
game marriage oh yeah by the way kind of
not against gay marriage that that's
what it feels like from Pope Francis
obviously and you wonder why there are
so many Conservative Catholics who are
unhappy with the guy this would be the
reason it turns out obviously this is
not merely an issue within the Catholic
Community Andy Stanley the senior pastor
of North Point Ministries in
non-denominational Evangelical Church
it's very it's like a big mega church
across Georgia and um he held a uh he
held some sort of session recently in
which he was speaking about lgbtq issues
and once again the idea here is
Christianity softening its message as to
what is sinful and what is not sinful
what is allowed and what is not allowed
in order to make people feel better
about themselves while under C while
basically undering the actual scriptural
position on the
issue now again you don't have to
believe that this stuff is sinful no
one's asking you to however to say that
the church or that the Bible says go
ahead with this activity or that core
identity lies in sexual sin is a direct
repudiation of religious thought
religious thought says that what you are
in the end is a servant of God you don't
always meet that standard sometimes you
fall short of that standard we all fall
short of that standard sometimes but it
doesn't mean the standard ain't the
standard and it doesn't mean that you
should tie up your identity in violation
of the standard once you do that you're
no longer a religious person you can be
a religious person who sins that's every
religious person or you can be a person
who identifies your very nature with the
sin which is in essence a way of saying
that that the situ that the rules should
not apply to you because your identity
is now in conflict with the rules we
have a lot on our schedules especially
as parents right now soccer practice
science fairs prepping for the holidays

issue go to pre-born
docomo
docomo andley Andy Stanley gave a speech
the other day it's become very
controversial here's some what he had to
say they prayed for that and God didn't
answer their prayer many are convinced
that traditional marriage is not an
option for them so they commit to living
a chased life and oldfashioned word and
for many men and men women who put their
faith in Christ they just decide okay
I'm just going to buckle down I'm just
going to I'm just going to Bear down I'm
just going to be by myself I'm not going
to have family I'm going to be sexually
pure and many many many many do that for
long seasons of time and some for some
it's it's it's their whole life but for
many that is not
sustainable and so they choose a
same-sex marriage not because they're
convinced it's biblical they read the
same Bible we do they chose to marry for
the same reason many of us love
companionship and family okay nobody is
suggesting that when gay people when
when two men marry each other that they
are doing so out of some sort of
misguided desire for Hedonism but to
equate that to traditional marriage or
to say they're still not engaging in
what would be scripturally sinful
activity is a violation of the standard
obviously is is same-sex marriage better
than samesex promiscuity sure because
marriage or any sort of monogamy is
going to be better than promiscuity does
that mean that it's even in the same
ballpark morally or or religiously
speaking with traditional marriage which
is about the production and creation of
children and the building of family
units of course not and so I don't I
don't know what what exactly he's trying
to prove here here he continues along
these
lines it's their
decision our decision is to decide how
we respond to their decision our
decision as a group of local churches is
how are we going to respond to their
decisions and we decided 28 years ago we
draw circles we don't draw lines we draw
big circles if someone desires to follow
Jesus regardless of their starting point
regardless of their past regardless of
their current circumstances our message
is come and see and come sit with me
okay well that that's totally fine
except for what that requires is the is
the community to say okay and now you're
going to be admitted as married couple
that is not what is required because in
any religion take my own religion as an
example because I know it better than
Christianity obviously if you walk into
the synagogue on Saturday on Shabbat and
you have a cell phone nobody's asking
that you leave if however you say I am a
cell phone carrier this is my identity
I'm going to use my cell phone and in
fact it is up to all of you guys need to
acknowledge that my use of a cell phone
is morally legitimate on the Sabbath
don't come to SCH right don't don't come
to
synagogue people sin they make mistakes
all the time as long as you acknowledge
the standard it's not a threat to the
community standard the threat of the
community standard comes when you force
any institution to change its standards
for you and your standard of behavior by
the way this this happens all the time
in the Jewish Community right in Sparty
communities it's very common to see guys
walk in to SCH on Saturday and they've
got the cell phone in their pocket and
no one bats an eye would those guys pick
up the cell phone in the middle of the
service and start talking and then ask
that everybody you know give them space
no that's not a thing they would do
respect for the standard is not the same
thing as keeping the standard but the
problem is that our religious leaders
are now blurring that distinction
because they think it's too much to ask
people to admit their own sin which of
course is the entire purpose of religion
the entire purpose of religion is to say
I acknowledge the standard even if I'm
not fully capable of meeting it all the
time are you tired of the lies and the
twist of the mainstream media talking
points yeah me too join me in my newest
series fact where I dismantle and bring
truth to this tiring mainstream
agenda
