#PopeFrancis #SameSexCouples #Blessing
Way to go Pope Francis! Love is Love
The Holy Bible tell you to come out of Babylon.
It’s a step forward in the right direction. Thank you Pope Francis.
I was baptized a catholic 68 yrs. ago,but have been a born again Christian for 10yrs. This man represents the DEVIL, and he should know that he is on the path that is wide and the gate is also,he hasn’t represented the Catholic Church since he became into his position, shame on you,repent of your sins
Check their computers
Pope Francis needs to step down!
“BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER ……………”
…finger each other?
Dear God strike this anti Christ down.
PRESIDENT BIDEN; “GOD BLESS EM!”.
I hope that Christians and Muslims will understand and believe when they say that the Gospel has been distorted and this is not the Gospel that God revealed to Christ…. It is enough for the Pope to distort it while we are eyewitnesses. How many times, I wonder, has the Gospel been distorted in two thousand years?!
You may want to reconsider.
Far too many people are utterly clueless about what a spiritual “Blessing” is.
They are under the severely naive delusion that it is nothing more than a “kudos to you, atta boy” endorsement.
“The Word of God is pure, refined as silver seven times on the earth”. Nope, it’s not messed up and God knew there would be revisions. But, there are far too many who misinterpret it or teach as scripture precepts of men and doctrines of demons. Especially in these last days.
I have A Geneva Bible, which is one of the very first versions written in English. It is old wording, and hard to understand, but it’s way more similar to the newer editions, than you’d think. If GOD has the power to create the universe and it’s contents, he has the power to preserve his word. I used to think like you, and that’s why I bought that old Bible. Unfortunately, it’s quite a hard read, so I prefer a newer version. Perhaps, in a way, that was just excuses not read the Bible. GOD only holds us accountable for what we have access to. He’s not going to punish us for rules that may be missing, or things we don’t understand. As long as we repent, and try to follow him.
The entire Bible, @@coleengoodell7523, consists of the precepts of men.
Every last word in the Bible was written by fallible human beings.
Every last claim made in or about the Bible was/is made by fallible human beings. That includes the claim of it being the “Word of God.”
Every last interpretation of the Bible was/is made by fallible human beings.
Don’t stand too close to the pope in case God strikes you down along with this blasphemous false holy man .
The devil is a liar.
Born and raised catholic. I’m done. This is some evil we are dealing with when they sway the pope.
Nobody has “swayed” the Pope, he’s a grown man who makes decisions for themselves. Non-monogamous and non-heterosexual relationships is not “evil”, it’s nature. But, believe what you want, just don’t use your beliefs to control the way other people live their lives.
Your loss
the work virus can infect anyone, even francis. he’s really a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Join the Eastern Orthodox Church brothers and sisters
He’s an absolute disgrace to the Catholic Church and Christians everywhere. They should force him to resign. This fake holy man has never read the Bible and doesn’t respect the Christian faith. He’s a follower of the world not Jesus.
Thank God the Independent Fundamental Baptists have never trusted or supported catholic ways
The pope of satan
This guy should read the Bible, clearly he has no knowledge of God , he’s like most politicians he just wants power ,
I guess the bible Lev. 18;22 “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” means NOTHING anymore as the Catholic church is now blessing sin.
Doesn’t he feels any shame? SHAME ON YOU, POPE. We Orthodox, never liked you… YOU ARE THE CURSE OF CHRISTIANITY as our Saints warned us about ya, many Centuries ago..🤔
🇬🇷✝️🇬🇷
For any person that has read the Bible it will come as no surprise that the Catholic Church has once again made policy that runs completely contrary to the teachings of Christ and his Disciples.
Pope Francis has lost his mind.
The pope is sounding like the False prophet.
Evil communist pope
MAKE YOU THINK WHAT HE LIKE..I WOULDN’T SEEND MY CHILDREN THERE..
Why would even let children near priests or pastors? A lot of them are pedos anyways.
mud mixtures created to waste the whitemans’ time…
“The fear of men is a snare”.
“Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
Not the first
I’m going to give a few reasons why i think the pope made that decision. 1) membership in the church is going down especially with young people. 2). Also young people are not becoming priest and nuns. He has to some how get a new flock of sheep so to speak. And 3) The Church is stap for cash to many unholy members of priests is putting God’s money in their pockets.
Just disgusting!!!
$$$$$$$ Joe Biden changed the rules, for his blessings and Communion,😂😂😂 Democrats. That’s why they make horror films from catholic religion 😂😂😂😂 THE Exorcist.😂😂😂
Jehovah please hurry and send Jesus..
Never fooled me! Knew who it is!
Religion is designed to control people and make money 💰
Armaggaddon
Do you media clowns even read the documents? It says the PEOPLE can receive blessings but the union CANNOT. Y’all really are fake news…
Just proves church is controlled by government. This is not bible teachings. It’s blastfimy
Second Coming of Jesus Christ is near let us repent and be prepared
Yikes…
the pope is controlled by the demon 😈👿
Shows he doesn’t read the scriptures or ignores it. It also shows that the catholic creed and popery is Antichrist, full stop.
conditions?? aight then…
This instruction by the Pope is in keeping with the Sermon on the Mount. God bless Pope Francis.
I never heard that bit where Jesus said bless homosexuals? Can you tell me where in the bible I can find it?
Jesus affirmed the covenanted union of one man and one woman as the only normative expression of human sexuality.
NBC Sucks!!! Controlled by the Luciferian/Globalist Kabal! Making Sure they Get On Board with Pontiface Maximus Now…..because they will be Answering to Him, as the False Prophet Underboss, once the Actual AntiChrist makes his Appearance! Satanic NBC, ABC, CBS & CNN!! 😮
The Pope doesn’t have any bearing on me. I ‘use’ to respect him. But don’t wash your hands in dirty water.
BLASPHEMY…… , the Pope needs to step down ‼️👎🏻
No He’s not! the document doesnt say that! But REmember guys, blessing is hugely different from union and marraige. its like day and night! and why not give a blessing to those people deserving it? Why you limit the mercy of God? What is your agenda here? are you politicking or spreading malicious thinking? Blessing… isn’t that the defination of mercy? a person or persons can receive heavenly merit beyond human understanding, human standard and human work? it seems that you two are oblivious how good, great and loving God is. God cannot and will not fit any human brain even angels intelligence cannot fully comprehend! and please stop lecturing about cannon law! am sick and tired of that excuses to implement or apply mercy! it becomes judgements to those poor people with difficult situation around our church! Instead of rejoicing for possible salvation for souls of these people, you two are questioning, complaining, accusing and maybe rebelling? Just like some bishops and priets who are rebellious, insulting and disrespecting the Pope! Remember satan’s sin is disobedience! and with that comes pride, complaints and accusation to God day and night! who are you by-the-way? do you have authority to question or disobey the Pope? are you protestants? i dare you to go out and be protestants then! if you cannot and will not trust the Lord Jesus taking care of His bride-the church and if you cannot accept and obey Pope’s directives, then you deserve to go out!!! i challenge you rebellious and hypocrite people!!!
Isaiah 5:20
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The name of Jesus christ,shoking news, please don’t say blessing!!!!!!
No know!!!
Sorry that’s not in the Bible!!!
Which God does he serve
What’s next the blessings of evolution
May God bless us all,for we’re all sinners.
God joined Adam and Eve together in marriage not Adam and Steve! God’s word will never change and it doesn’t matter who says otherwise!
He who is without sin, cast the first stone.
It still a sin
@@deborahmiller9227 No such thing as sin, religious nut.
Is a sin
Abomination before God.
Not judging.
Affirming it is sin
Genesis 19
@@deborahmiller9227 “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.” But an abomination is something so egregious, as in the mass slaughter of children, these little ones of His.
The only unforgivable sin according to the scriptures of the New Testament, the Gospel, the good news is the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I’ve heard many teachers or pastors trying to explain what this is and have been perplexed, even fearful that I might accidentally do this. But was assured that you couldn’t just accidentally do it and none of the explanations I had heard seemed to fit at all. What I”ve come to is that it is claiming you have a gift of the Holy Spirit that you do not. Be it for profit, esteem, to lead the sheep astray or to take a position of power in whatever church that was not actually given to you by God. That’s what I think it is. Like pretending you have the gift of healing when you do not, for profit or position. Like claiming you have the gift of Prophecy when you do not, for profit, control or to serve your own agenda. Like claiming you’re a teacher or an Evangelist when you are not, neither called, nor chosen, but for your own personal benefit.
Not deceived or confused, but deliberate. Making a mockering of the gifts and the power of the Holy Spirit. That’s the unforgivable sin. Just what I’ve come to understand, through knowledge of the scriptures and guidance given by God and not by man.
If you examine those who are caset into the Lake of Fire in outer darkness, false prophets are among them. Just saying..
You judge righteously.
All of this for acceptance and the love of the world. Its a shame.
John 15
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
I don’t get all the controversy over this. Priests have been blessing people, pets, cars, boats, houses, etc for a very long time.
I think blessing an individual is fine, but when they say couples then they mean that the blessing is aimed towards the homosexual relationship which, according to the Bible, is an abomination to god.
This is pure evil lsaiah5vs20 you cannot bless a evil thing.these people thus how they changed the Sabbath in simple way.Ezekiel22vs26-31 the nature of these clergymen.Revelation18vs1_4 come out of it my people.life is read and run habbakuk2vs2
This is sooo wrong.
Evolution is happening day by day and religion is involved in it🤓
This is crazy.
The catholic abomination has always been anti Bible. They are religious but not Bible followers. Therfore not Christians. They love they’re religion more than God’s word
So a blessing only, no marriage ritual! Means nothing!
Uh Oh, people finally realizing why Islam is so strict on these things! Allah Akbar, the true religion Islam
La Illaha Illallah
Devils 👿👿 Pop
Donkey pop
Proof that the Catholic is the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah
Year 3023: Pope approves Devil worship.
….all the bigots can now go for it.
Its official pope is evil ! Bar none
God, protect Your One and Holy Church for this seductive demon.
Waitt.. what did Pope exactly say??? Do not make conclusion too early!!! What did he describe precisely??? If it is true.. then a huge setback for catholic church!!!
Heterosexuals mad the institution of marriage long before the church and state came into being.
I wonder if Pope reads Genesis…the first Bible. Otherwise, he should release his own Bible
The pope doesn’t have the authority. I don’t think he has a copy of the Bible.
Really r u kidding me !!!
Somdom remember…sodom
Im glad im babtist
If the left is so anti-God why would they even care
back of the hammer
Matthew 7:6
King James Version
“6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Another false justification to allow the gradual assention of satan to incrementally encroach upon the church. This is a satanic doctrine of man that goes against the holiness of Jesus Christ!
The pope is a sinful man and sinful men try to please everybody put not your confidence in men expect anything.
And the insane pope fired Bishop Strickland for being a true Catholic Bishop, where are all the other Bishops?
SICK!!!!!!!!! pathetic hypocrisy….. this is not Godly!
POPE FRANCIS DARING TO REFUSE HETERSEXUAL PRIEST GETTING MARRIED BUT HE DID APPROVE HOMOSEXUALS LET GOD STRIKE HIM DEAD IN JUDGMENT AND REMOVE HIM FROM VATICAN NOW LET GOD SHOW SIGN OF WRATH AND JUDGMENT AGAINST VATICAN CRIMES AMEN IN JESUS NAME
Maybe hes in the same feather
If Catholic priests can forgive sins, blessing homosexual partnership is not a problem for the Pope.😂😂😂
PEOPLE MUST SEPARATE FRANCIS FROM CATHOLIC CHURCH. ITS ALL A DECEPTION, PEOPLE WAKE UP. who can bless evil. can you bless adultery or any other sin. CAN YOU BLESS SODOMY. People get Easly confused by spiritual deception. WHAT IS TO BLESS, FOR THOSE WHOSE ENGLISH IS THE FORST LANGUAGE. CAN YOU BLESS YOUR SON FOR BREAKING INTO A BANK? You are playing with terms or words without knowing that you are opening your soul to the devil. THIS IS A DIRECT ATTACK ON MARRIAGE SACRAMENT, AND RELIGOUS CELIBATE VOWS. What about if two nun or two priests loved each other, could you deny them a blessing? THE SAID BLESSING IS OPENING UP A PANDORA BOX OR LAWLESSNESS. Francis uses the name of Pope to help destroy catholic church from within. that so. He is always dubious. He doesn’t work in vacuum but with other groups in the world with the same agenda to destroy catholic church like freemasons.
Then he is the anti-Pope
This is SICK, Did God make a mistake??? I’m Catholic. now the only respect I have for the Pope is the Cross he’s wearing. Very Disappointed with his decision. I do not follow francis, I follow Jesus, this pope should step down. is he really representing Jesus???
The next pope must rescind this
Pope greater than god
https://youtu.be/OH1TVnW–XU
Pope is not a Christian
disgrazia
😅😂😂😂😂 Tate’s right.
Cardinal Fernandez just came out with a new document see Vatican news and confirms the blessing are for people not the union , I think all this word salad is for the German bishops to avoid schism
