And Christ wills that the renewal of the Church come through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. "Pray many rosaries," as Our Lady of Fatima directed young Francisco Marto, and through him, all of us.
Homosexuality is incompatible with the priesthood: one cannot act in persona Christi if you believe you were thus created.
Imagine if the church openly proclaimed this, and insisted that all so convinced clerics step down. I suspect the Vatican would empty.
That the church has not proclaimed this, and continues to soften its approach to all sin, invites sinners to continue to sin, and fills its ranks with like minded men.
Yep. I never stopped to consider it before. But knowingly ordaining homosexual priests is as grievous a blasphemy as ordaining woman priests in the light of the persona Christi role.
The Novus Ordo church doesn't have valid priests. In fact the new mass isn't a sacrifice but the community remembering the Last Supper, where a man called the presider or president simply moderates the service, like the Protestants.
I disagree. The NO is damaged, but nevertheless almost word-for-word the TLM (although the English translation suffered further damage). Offered reverently, even with guitars and felt banners, I am unconvinced that Grace cannot flow through that rough lead pipe.
However, what if the priest considered himself homosexual (practicing or not)? Even more difficult, what if the priest were a good and reverent man, but was ordained by a HS bishop? Assuming nobody knew, what then?
The Vatican has plainly, explicitly forbidden the ordination of homosexuals. See para 30(4) of this 1961 instruction from the Vatican.
But the Instruction is now so forgotten and the key words are buried so deep inside that it might as well never have been written. Uncle Ted McCarrick and many others had been ordained well before 1961 and obviously many more would follow after 1961.
"Advantage to religious vows and ordination should be barred to those who are afflicted with evil tendencies to homosexuality or pederasty, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers."
“Those offences which be contrary to nature are everywhere and at all times to be held in detestation and punished; such were those of the Sodomites, which should all nations commit, they should all be held guilty of the same crime by the divine law, which hath not so made men that they should in that way abuse one another. For even that fellowship which should be between God and us is violated, when that same nature of which He is author is polluted by the perversity of lust."
The problem in citing this is the Novus Ordo church believes that the dogmas and moral precepts of the Church were pertinent only during the time in which they were promulgated. In other words, they don't believe there is such a thing as objective truth where something is true always and at all times. Thus they believe in the "evolution" of man's perception of right and wrong so that what was wrong in the past isn't wrong today.
Of course the moral teachings of the true Catholic Church cannot be changed. I am referring to the Novus Ordo church which has an entirely different foundation, philosophy and theology than the Catholic Church. They teach moral and religious subjectivism or relativism rather than objective morals that are always true no matter the age or culture.
I have to constantly remind myself, Chris, that in the end, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will prevail. But damn, am I exhausted by the heresy of the Vatican and the apathy of the majority. Never stop your writing, Chris; it is a harbour of sanity in this storm of apostasy.
I am convinced that great inversion was in a fashion presented to me in 1964. This occurred in a 6th grade religion class taught by a BVM nun. She was teaching based on prophetic statements by saints, popes and on those found in scripture. After presenting truly diabolical events said to be fulfilled in the future, she stated her belief that my generation would see these events as the fulfillment of prophecy which entailed an all encompassing moral inversion in society and in the church. As she proclaimed these things to my class I could see a deep sense of sadness and an expression of compassion for my generation. Her emotions conveyed not something that could happen in my lifetime, but something that most assuredly will happen that I will see. The warnings to me sounded logically impossible - how could such things happen in the world especially to the church - but also they very disturbingly struck me deeply as being true. No matter how strange and impossible it seemed to me, in some way that teaching that day is like an immovable rock in my being. Today I have a sadness that I now share with that BVM nun who first shared it with me in 1964. It is most profoundly a sadness for the state of our church.
My local priest who I have been talking about unfolding and coming events since Feb 2022, finally expressed in he’s homily today for Our Lady of Victories that “to most faithful it’s clear we live in very spiritually dark times”
Praying all wake up asap as I’m certain the time for the “sign in the sky” of “the Son of Man” isn’t far away
The world can not exist without a faithful Catholic Church in Rome, as a consequence all prophecy must unfold. Our Lady and Our Lord have prepared their children. For those who can see, help others prepare with urgency before what is fast approaching
“But all the other frenzies of passions-impious both toward the bodies and toward the sexes-beyond the laws of nature, we banish not only from the threshold, but from all shelter of the Church, because they are not sins, but monstrosities!” TERTULLIAN (160-225)
The Church is being governed by homosexuals. Their sin blinds them to the gravity of sexual sins in general, and their proclivity in particular. As a result I don't think they are capable of understanding how they are destroying the very foundation of Catholic teaching. They really do believe, along with the late pope, that sexual sins are "the lightest of sins." If they even think violating their vows of chastity is a sin at all; many seem to believe that sodomy is just a bit of fun. Where is the Catholic leader willing to speak out? He doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks for a concentrated summary of moral chaos, Chris.
Yes, Archbishop Longley. Used to be my Archbishop. Looking at his Wiki entry, he was co-consecrated by the late Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor and one of Cormac's proteges, Bishop Kieran Conry. Obviously such Archbishops as Longley don't survive without a sympathetic ecosystem, any more than a squirrel survives without a forest.
Cormac never had much luck with his proteges. There was Fr Michael Hill, who he protected until Michael was finally sent down for molesting a mentally disabled 15 year old boy at Gatwick Airport. Then Kieran himself finally quit as Bishop of Arundel and Brighton after the Daily Mail came calling about his latest girlfriend. Kieran lead a charmed life for years with his girlfriends, but even the luck of the Irish finally runs out.
Then Cormac was a great fan of Timothy Radcliffe, now Cardinal Timothy. Yes, the guy who was world wide head of the Dominicans and wrote about how great gay sex is. And Cormac was, of course, a member of the St Gallen Mafia, so allegedly one of the guys who gave us Pope Francis.
If you want a laugh (hey, we need some comedy on a day like this), here are Cormac, Timothy and various other characters, including a drunken priest, a gay ex-seminarian and a married priest, asking if the Catholic priesthood has a future. Probably not, if the debate is framed by a BBC producer. But fear not. One of the participants is a nun who campaigns for women's ordination. So the ladies will replace the multiply useless blokes.
Looking at the guy from Graz (it's the second biggest city in Austria, so his position is not low key)....is it now actually compulsory to be bent to be a member of the hierarchy? Maybe not, but it obviously helps your promotion chances, if you believe the stuff that Gene Gomulka puts on his enthralling Substack. And if you welcome a gay Jewish guy as Master of Ceremonies, you get multiple brownie points all at once.
Father Gomulka tells it like it is with the plague of homosexual predators in the Catholic Clergy. But his thesis that the solution is to permit priests to date and marry women will no more cure or mitigate the problem for the RC Church than it did for the Anglicans.
Very strange logic. Not sure how marrying a woman would stop homosexual attraction. If that was the case, they'd all be having affairs with women but since they're not allowed to do that, they make up for it by gay predation? Methinks Fr Gomulka is, wittingly or unwittingly, pushing towards gayly married Priests.
No, Father Gomulka is the real deal. I doubt there’s anyone in the American Catholic clergy who’s sacrificed more in the fight against predatory priests and their ecclesiastical protectors. He’s the strongest advocate the victims could possibly have. He makes a strong coherent case for married priests. I just happen to question much of his argument.
i was sick when reading about the ongoing homosexuality and predation tolerated in the catholic church. thank you, chris jackson, for ending your article in authentic hope.
"The wolves have their hour. But Christ, the true Shepherd, has not abandoned His flock."
We must never forget that.
As bad as things may get, nothing gets too bad for Christ to overcome.
And Christ wills that the renewal of the Church come through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. "Pray many rosaries," as Our Lady of Fatima directed young Francisco Marto, and through him, all of us.
That's right. Lucia & Jacinta told him what Our Lady said.

God help us.
Disagree but nevertheless, the truth is there if you want to know it.

Of course the moral teachings of the true Catholic Church cannot be changed. I am referring to the Novus Ordo church which has an entirely different foundation, philosophy and theology than the Catholic Church. They teach moral and religious subjectivism or relativism rather than objective morals that are always true no matter the age or culture.
Imagine Pius XII or any of his predecessors having a "Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue" and "Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews."
That alone (among a hundred other things) is enough to tell us that the Vatican II religion is a false religion.
For the "hundred other things," see novusordowatch.org
One of your best exposés yet.

What abominable filth has invaded the church. If its not expunged the chaos will be frightening!
