On Sunday 14 April 2013, Pope Francis said clergy and Christians must not betray the word of God with their actions or they undermine the credibility of the Catholic Church -- "Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the Church's credibility. Those who listen to us and observe us must be able to see in our actions what they hear from our lips, and so give glory to God!"
Effectively, in accordance with the words found in the New Testament, “You will know them by their deeds (actions).” Those whose words do not match their actions are not to be trusted.
We all know of the Inquisition – and that the Pope has never excommunicated those who were guilty of those murders, that Holocaust.
Do priests get excommunicated, or do they receive pensions, when they engage in child molestation – or violate their solemn vows?
The Vatican has now ordered the LCWR, which represents 80% of US Catholic nuns, to revise its statutes and review its plans and programs. Note that the LCWR's positions are those which favor female Priests, see homosexuality as a natural, and birth control is a life-saving practice with true global ramifications … all of which have led to Vatican criticism.
The Vatican wants, and needs, the rampant population growth and dependence on faith as the only means of survival. It needs us to have a population which outruns resources – but so does Islam and Orthodox Judaism. To destroy society and increase reliance on superstition is a Religious Necessity.
Note that this has nothing to do with the existence of a Creator – an initial source for the Universe … a way of getting something from nothing … once you follow the creation process backward, there is a point where absolute nothing becomes the starting point. It is at that point that we have the “Self-Begotten Beginning” which is how educated ancient populations referred to the primary creator that is not called the Creator, or the Father.
Look for more games from Francis I … on one hand he will seek to move toward the teachings, but on the other, he will ignore it. He will even condone the violation of the teachings on a major scale. It’s “Saint Paul’s Joke” … marriage for sex, without regard for gender of the parties. In the Old Testament, the document that Jesus, Peter, and Paul all said must be followed, the only improper sex is bisexual men. They can be straight or gay, but not bi-sexual. Whereas females can be both – it is the only way they can have their same-sex relationship and produce children.
