DEAR<\/strong> brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I want to leave you on a more positive note, despite this most troubling week. It’s in the short video below that I recorded last week, but never sent out to you. It’s a most apropos<\/em> message for what has transpired this week, but is a general message of hope. But I also want to be obedient to the “now word” the Lord has been speaking all week. I will be brief…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While I have addressed in an article<\/a> and two videos<\/a> now the serious spiritual dangers in the recent Declaration<\/a> of the Vatican, I am also fully aware of those Catholics \u2014 including priests \u2014 who seem to be little concerned. I have explained at length, especially in my last video, why there are inherent dangers in this document… and that warning is only increasing in volume in my soul. So, let’s just set aside right now the debate on the semantics of the document and think practically for a moment of the implications.<\/p>\n Imagine this coming Christmas Day, “same-sex” or “irregular” couples<\/em> coming up to your parish priest and saying, “We are so excited that Pope Francis said you can bless us as a couple<\/em>,[1]<\/sup><\/a>As stated in the Declaration, “It is precisely in this context that one can understand the possibility of blessing couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples without officially validating their status or changing in any way the Church\u2019s perennial teaching on marriage.”<\/span><\/span>The Coming Persecution<\/h5>\n
