The newly appointed preacher to the papal household has a record of downplaying the Church’s teaching on homosexuality, saying that the Bible condemns homosexual acts only because the Scriptural authors could not view homosexuality as an “orientation,” a concept that did not exist “in the culture of that time.”

On November 9, the Holy See press office announced the change of an era in the Vatican with Father Roberto Pasolini, O.F.M. Cap appointed as preacher to the papal household, and thus replacing Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa

Cantalamessa, now aged 90, arrived as preacher to the Pope in 1980 and has remained in this position during three pontificates, gradually becoming an internationally recognizable figure and having more recently joined attacks against the traditional Mass.

However, his successor appears set to usher in an era of preaching to the Vatican which questions the Church’s teaching on homosexuality.

Earlier this year, Pasolini delivered a talk on the topic of homosexuality and Christian life in which he echoed much of the confusing rhetoric currently emanating from the Vatican on the question.

Maybe not so surprising after all. There are rumors Teilhard is to be named a Doctor of the Church. That would be so bogus. But then there is a lot of bogosity in Rome these days.

My advice to all Catholics is simple: stick to Holy Scripture, Apostolic Tradition, and the infallible dogmas of the Faith; do not deviate from them, and let the modernist politicians in the Vatican do whatever they want to. We have entered an era in which error has taken hold in the sanctuary, and while it is not and cannot replace the authentic and true teachings of the Church, it can be embraced and promoted by those with nefarious agendas.

This is not the first time this has happened. Take, for example, the heresies of Albigensianism, Arianism, Pelagianism, and the various other heresies; the periods of various antipopes; and the widespread corruption of the Renaissance era. All seemed strong at the time, and all flourished....for a time. But eventually, they shriveled and evaporated, while the True Faith remained.

That's what's going to happen with the current papal preoccupation with abnormal pelvic activities. It's going to rage for a season, but eventually---as with all heresies and errors---it will shrivel and die, while the True Faith endures. It remains to be seen whether the current wave of madness will eventually fade away should Jesus tarry, or whether it's a harbinger of the Apocalypse.

As long as we do not put ourselves in schism. That does not mean being silent or agreeing with heresy.

I have zero evidence one way or the other. He was a Jesuit priest who took a big interest in paleontology, particularly the origin of the human species. And he got taken by TWO frauds. He had some wild theological ideas trying to reconcile evolution with theology that were condemned by the Vatican back in the day when the Vatican was careful and sound in itself.

Ok. So are you saying he was very pro macro and micro evolution?

Well, yes. Lets just say his evolutionary theory was half-scientific (opposed to being properly scientific) and half-theological (as opposed to being good theology). So bad science and bad theology crammed together as if to be profound.

Exactly. "Simple". OR, simple in one sense but very difficult and dangerous. There will be, one day, a last of the days. And Jesus had a lot to say about those days, much of - most of - which is rarely discussed or prayerfully and seriously presented by our many teachers.

Those of us having faith, hope and holy charity - and ears to hear - really, really ought to begin listening. Much is being "said" in our time, now.

The Devil is infiltrating the Church. We must stand steadfast to the Truth, no matter who's saying the opposite.

Next, they will be saying abortion is fine is "certain situations".

lol ... I like that word!

I'd like to claim that as an original ....

They are already saying contraception is fine in 'certain situations', not full-on denying Humanae Vitae just yet but trying to nuance the hell into it.

It's the slow, but steady steps that win Satan's race. It doesn't help the Pope seems open to it.

It helps me, too, to listen to priests and teachers who are solidly Catholic. Like, I just turned on EWTN and Fr. Wade Menezes is there! I like Catholicism 'strong' ... to me, he is the closest modern day example I can think of, of an old-fashioned Catholic priest. I feel encouraged, just knowing that priests like him are still around ... and teaching. Fr. Wade is like 'a blast from the past' ... but there are others out there also ...

Teilhard De Chaden should've been made a Doctor of the Church long ago.

In WWI, being a priest, he did not carry a gun and served as a stretcher bearer where he saw the worst of war,
as if there was any good in that war.

His life was that of a saint and scientist which he linked together. He was also part of the team that
discovered "Peking Man." in China.

His theory on evolution is one I agree with. He said that humans evolved biologically quickly until about 10,000
years ago. Then, biological evolution slowed way down. However, intellect and spirituality evolved quickly
and continues even today.
