Commentary: Names and Titles are Capitalized, descriptions are not. Three
individual names of God can be joined to form four (4) combinations of names, all
properly representing the power, majesty and glory of God. God refers to himself
as Lord, seven (7) times. Seven (7) represents God’s divinely determined
completeness to his plan or purpose. Lord suggests supreme rulership and
authority. His name of God, is repeated seventy (70) times. (7x10=70). Ten (10)
represents God’s allness or completeness. This name of God, is the ONLY subject,
in all of Revelation, to have seventy (70) references. The combinations of God’s
names result in fewer references, but they are all derivatives his three (3) basic
names, Lord – God – Almighty. By using these three basis names, God is intensely
emphasizing who he is. By arranging them into additional combinations, adds
another measure of importance and description as to who He is. The name of Jesus
Christ, also shares the same naming characteristics as the Father’s names.

2.TWENTY-FOUR REFERENCES TO THE LAMB:
1. . . . “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders, stood A LAMB as it had been slain, having
seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into
all the earth.” (Rev. 5:6).
2. . . . “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty
elders fell down before THE LAMB, having every one of them harps, and
golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.” (Rev. 5:8).
3. . . . “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is THE LAMB that was slain to receive
power; and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and
blessing.” (Rev. 5:12).
4. . . . “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the
earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying,
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the
throne, and unto THE LAMB for ever and ever.” (Rev. 5:13).
5. . . . “And I saw when THE LAMB opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it
were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.” (Rev.
6:1).
7 | P a g e
6. . . . “And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face
of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of THE LAMB:” (Rev.
6:16).
7. . . . “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could
number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before
the throne, and before THE LAMB, clothed in white robes, and palms in their
hands;” (Rev. 7:9).
8. . . . “And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth
upon the throne, and unto THE LAMB.” (Rev. 7:10).
9. . . . “For THE LAMB which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and
shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes.” (Rev. 7:17).
10. . . . “And they overcame him by the blood of THE LAMB, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Rev. 12:11).
11. . . . “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are
not written in the book of life of THE LAMB slain from the foundation of the
world.” (Rev. 13:8).
12. . . . “And I looked, and, lo, A LAMB stood on the mount Sion, and with him an
hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their
foreheads.” (Rev. 14:1).
13. . . . “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.
These are they which follow THE LAMB whithersoever he goeth. These were
redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.”
(Rev. 14:4).
14. . . . “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence
of THE LAMB.” (Rev. 14:10).
15. . . . “And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of THE
LAMB, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just
and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.” (Rev. 15:3).
16. . . . “These shall make war with THE LAMB, and THE LAMB shall overcome
them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are

8 | P a g e

marriage supper of THE LAMB. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God.” (Rev. 19:9).
19. . . . “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names
of the twelve apostles of THE LAMB.” (Rev. 21:14).
20. . . . “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and THE LAMB
are the temple of it.” (Rev. 21:22).
21. . . . “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it, and THE LAMB is the light thereof.” (Rev.
21:22).
22. . . . “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written
in THE LAMB’S book of life.” (Rev. 21:27).
23. . . . “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God and of THE LAMB.” (Rev. 22:1).
24. . . . “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of THE LAMB
shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.” (Rev. 22:3).
Commentary: Lamb is capitalized and therefore another name or title of Jesus
Christ. THE FACT THAT THE LAMB IS REFERENCED TWENTY-FOUR (24) TIMES
INDICATE THAT HE IS THE FOUNDATION IN GOD’S ABUNDANT OR DOUBLED
ORGANIZATIONAL (GOVERNMENT) ARRANGEMENT. HE IS LITERALLY THE CORNER
STONE IN THE FOUNDATION OF GOD’S DIVINE ORGANIZATION OF THINGS. FOR
THERE TO BE AN ORGANIZATION OF ANYTHING, ON EARTH OR HEAVEN, THERE
HAS TO BE A ROCK-STEADY FOUNDATION SUPPORTING A PURPOSE OR PLAN.
THERE HAS TO BE FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENT OF STRENGTH AND TRUTH. If the
foundation of the organization of a house is poor, weak and not built correctly, the
house will fall. The foundation has to be built firm so it does not change or shift
under the organizational structure of the house.
The Lamb (Jesus Christ) represents the rock-steady, true and solid foundation of
God’s divine organization and the foundation of man’s redemption. God’s
organization is built on and around the Lamb. The title and name Lamb is unique
because it is also reflects a descriptive term. IT DESCRIBES JESUS CHRIST AS NOT
ONLY WHO HE IS, BUT WHAT HE IS! LAMB THEREFORE SERVES A THREEFOLD
9 | P a g e
PURPOSED; IT IS A TITLE OR A NAME, DESCRIBES WHO HE IS, AND DESCRIBES
WHAT HE IS.
Twenty-four is the greatest finite number in the mathematics of God. It is the largest
representation of anything in God’s abundant or doubled governmental
organization. THE NUMBER OF REPETITIVE REFERENCES IMPLIES EXTREME
SIGNIFICANCE, IMPORTANCE AND PURPOSE. THE HOLY SPIRIT USES THE TERM
LAMB OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TO PROCLAIM THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED, LIKE
A LAMB (BLOODY AND SLAUGHTERED), ON A CROSS AND THEN ROSE AGAIN, FOR
THE FORGIVENESS OF MANKIND’S SINS.
The Jews had a practice of slaughtering clean, genetically perfect animals to
temporarily atone for their sins. Their sins were cast onto these animals, who then
were destroyed by burning. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE PERFECT MAN, CLEAN AND
SINLESS. HE WAS THE PERFECT HUMAN LAMB. His death and burial were for the
eternal (not temporary) forgiveness of all of men’s sins. All of our sins were cast
upon the Lamb, while God was sacrificing his son on the cross through the shedding
of his blood, instead of the shedding of our blood.
We deserve to die for our sins, Jesus (the Lamb) did not deserve to die since he was
sinless. However, in God’s infinite grace and mercy, he allowed his son to take on
our sins and carry them from the cross to the grave, for eternity. Through our
acceptance of God’s offer of forgiveness through his son Jesus Christ (the Lamb),
our sins are forgiven; past, present and future.
Putting this into a little different perspective, but one that should hit home and
resonate with you on a personal level. As a parent, you absolutely love your child
(son or daughter), of course you do! There is no question about that, for any
normal, emotionally healthy parent. Hypothetically speaking, how would you feel
if an ISIS terrorist group kidnapped your son or daughter, severely tortured them
with whips, nailed them to a tree in public, spit on them, cursed them and mocked
them? Blood running down your son or daughter’s legs from the wounds in their
hands, head, back and torso. How would you feel, as a parent, knowing that they
are slowly dying a painful, horrible, slow death.
10 | P a g e
Hypothetically, speaking of course, how would you feel as a parent if the ISIS
terrorist group told you that your son or daughter (either of whom is totally
innocent) is being slaughtered for some perceived hatred or action of another guilty
party. How would you feel knowing that your son or daughter was the scapegoat
for an evil payback by the terrorist group as a lesson for those who don’t follow
their ideology?
By now, you should have an extremely painful visual image in your head. Now,
hypothetically speaking again, imagine how God felt seeing his son, Jesus Christ, in
the same excruciatingly painful, deadly predicament as your family member. If he
is a living, loving entity (which he is), how do you think he felt having to give up his
Holy Son to the Roman authorities, for slaughtering. His son was totally innocent,
but was used as a scapegoat or as a Lamb for our sins and transgressions.
Jesus Christ (the Lamb), didn’t deserve to be tortured and die. There was no logical,
rational reason for him to bear all of mankind’s sins for eternity. But, he did so,
willingly. As a parent, would you willingly let your son or daughter be literally
slaughtered as a result of someone else’s evil actions? God’s love for us transcended
the pain he felt from his son’s bloody crucifixion. THE WORK OF THE LAMB IS THE
FOUNDATIONAL CORNERSTONE OF GOD’S DIVINE ORGANIZATION FOR THE
REDEMPTION OF MAN. THE TWENTY-FOUR REPETITIONS OF ‘LAMB’ ATTEST TO
THIS DIVINE MATHEMATICAL FACT.

4. TWELVE-FOLD REFERENCES TO A HEAVENLY
BOOK:
1. . . . “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the THRONE A BOOK
WRITTEN WITHIN AND ON THE BACKSIDE, SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS.”
(Rev. 5:1).
2. . . . “And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to
OPEN THE BOOK, and to loose the seals thereof?” (Rev. 5:2).
3. . . . “And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to
OPEN THE BOOK, neither to look thereon.” (Rev. 5:3).
4. . . . “And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to
READ THE BOOK, neither to look thereon.” (Rev. 5:4).
5. . . . “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the
tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to OPEN THE BOOK, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.” (Rev. 5:5).
6. . . . “And he came and TOOK THE BOOK out of the right hand of him that sat
upon the throne.” (Rev. 5:7).
7. . . . “And when he had TAKEN THE BOOK, the four beasts and four and twenty
elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden
vials full or odours, which are the prayers of saints.” (Rev. 5:8).
8. . . . “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou are worth to TAKE THE BOOK,
AND OPEN THE SEALS thereof: for thou was slain, and has redeemed us to
God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation:”
(Rev. 5:9).
12 | P a g e
9. . . . “And he had in his hand A LITTLE BOOK open: and he set his right foot
upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.” (Rev. 10:2).
10. . . . “And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said,
Go and take THE LITTLE BOOK which is open in the hand of the angel which
standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.” (Rev. 10:8).
11. . . . “And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me THE LITTLE BOOK.
And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter,
but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” (Rev. 10:9).
12. . . . “And I TOOK THE LITTLE BOOK out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and
it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly
was bitter.” (Rev. 10:10).
Commentary: Rev. 5:1-5, 7-9, reference the book of wrath that has the seven seals
which Christ is the only one worthy enough to open. Rev. 10:2, 8-10, references a
little book of prophecy that “tastes sweet, but when eaten, becomes bitter in the
belly”. Both books are prophetic in nature. THE BOOK WHICH CHRIST OPENS IS
OBVIOUSLY A SERIES OF PROPHECIES THAT INDICATE THE JUDGEMENTS CHRIST
ADMINISTERS TO START THE TRIBULATION. The second book of prophecies
handed by a mighty, glorious angel to John is a bit of an enigma. The book could
contain prophecies regarding other events in the Tribulation period that we don’t
know about, or events that we do know about as stated in the book of Revelation.
As the book of Revelation is generally considered the largest book in the Bible
concerning prophecy, the two heavenly books described above (CHRIST’S BOOK OR
ROLE OF SEALS, THE MIGHTY ANGEL’S LITTLE BOOK OF BITTERNESS) ARE TWO
PROPHECY BOOKS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PROPHECY OF REVELATION.
Prophecies within prophecy. Interestingly, Revelation is chock-full of references to
BOOKS BEING USED IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOD’S ORDER OF THINGS.
There is also a book of life referenced many places throughout Revelation.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THINGS IN GOD’S ADMINISTRATION ARE “WRITTEN
DOWN IN BOOKS” (OR LEDGERS, IF YOU WANT TO USE AN ACCOUNTING TERM).
ULTIMATELY, EVERY CHRISTIAN’S NAME IS WRITTEN DOWN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
John the Apostle was instructed by the Holy Spirit to ‘write’ down what he saw
and/or heard.

7. THE ABCS (7) OF SALVATION THROUGH JESUS
CHRIST (THE LAMB)
A. (7) Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask (7) God’s
forgiveness and repent of your sins.
. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).
. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).
. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
(1 John 1:8).
B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that (7) Jesus Christ is who He claimed to (7) be;
that He was both fully God (7) and fully man and that we are (7) saved through
His death, burial, and resurrection. (7) Put your trust in Him as your (7) only hope
of salvation. Become a son (7) or daughter of God by receiving Christ. (7777777)

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his
son into the world to condemn the world; but have everlasting life. For God sent not
his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might
be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
C. Call upon His name, Confess (7) with your heart and with your lips (7) that Jesus
is your Lord and Savior.
. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10)

13. VATICAN TO OPEN FIVE (5) ‘SACRED PORTALS’ FOR
ONCE-IN-QUARTER-CENTURY RITUAL
The Vatican’s announcement of opening sacred portals for the first time in 25 years
has raised eyebrows and sparked intrigue. Set to coincide with the 2025 Jubilee
Year, THE CEREMONY INVOLVES THE OPENING OF FIVE (5) “HOLY DOORS” AT
ANCIENT BASILICAS, WITH ONE “HYPOTHETICAL” DOOR AT ITALY’S REBIBBIA
PRISON. While THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMS THIS TRADITION UPHOLDS A
“DOORWAY TO SALVATION,” one can’t help but question: What exactly is the
Catholic Church attempting to achieve with this elaborate ritual? And more
importantly, where in the Bible is any of this remotely supported?
According to The Daily Mail, the Holy Doors are located at some of Rome’s most
venerated basilicas, such as St. Peter’s and St. John Lateran, and ARE
CEREMONIALLY BRICKED UP AND UNSEALED ONLY DURING JUBILEE YEARS. POPE
19 | P a g e
FRANCIS, WHO INITIATED THE RITUAL ON DEC. 2, DESCRIBES IT AS A TIME TO
FOCUS ON HOPE AND SPIRITUAL RENEWAL AMIDST GLOBAL CRISES LIKE WAR,
THE LINGERING EFFECTS OF COVID-19 AND CLIMATE CHANGE. He has also
extended this symbolic act to prisoners, aiming to deliver a message of hope. The
JUBILEE YEAR’S THEME, “PILGRIMS OF HOPE,” reflects these aspirations.
While the Pope’s sentiment is admirable, THE RITUAL ITSELF IS BAFFLING. THE
“OPENING” OF DOORS—REQUIRING THE REMOVAL OF BRICK WALLS—IS
DESCRIBED AS A “SYMBOL OF SALVATION,” BUT THIS IMAGERY FINDS NO
PRECEDENT IN CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE. Nowhere in the Bible is there a mention of
“Holy Doors” that must be ceremonially opened to signal divine grace. IF
ANYTHING, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF DECLARED, “I AM THE DOOR. IF ANYONE
ENTERS THROUGH ME, HE WILL BE SAVED” (JOHN 10:9). THIS VERSE PROVES
THAT ACCESS TO SALVATION IS FOUND IN FAITH IN CHRIST, NOT THROUGH
ELABORATE RITUALS OR SYMBOLIC STRUCTURES.
14. VATICAN TO OPEN 5 ‘SACRED PORTALS’ THIS
CHRISTMAS EVE
James Lasher 4:29PM December 10, 2024
This glaring lack of biblical foundation raises questions about the origins of such
practices. The Jubilee tradition, first Christianized by Pope Boniface VIII in 1300,
appears to be ROOTED MORE IN MEDIEVAL CATHOLIC INNOVATION THAN IN
SCRIPTURAL TRUTH. While proponents argue it inspires hope and encourages acts
of mercy, others may see it as A DISTRACTION FROM THE SIMPLICITY OF THE
GOSPEL MESSAGE.
20 | P a g e
THE PORTAL DEBATE: RITUAL OR SOMETHING MORE?
ADDING ANOTHER LAYER TO THIS MYSTERY IS THE BROADER CONVERSATION
ABOUT PORTALS—SPIRITUAL GATEWAYS BETWEEN REALMS. Nephilim expert,
author and researcher L.A. Marzulli has long explored the concept of supernatural
portals, particularly in the context of biblical prophecy and spiritual warfare.
Marzulli points to examples like Daniel 10:13, where an angel is delayed by the
“prince of Persia,” a demonic principality, as evidence of unseen battles in the
heavenly realms. He warns that portals may serve as entry points for spiritual
entities, both good and evil, influencing events on Earth.
“There are gateways and portals over the Promised Land, there’s no doubt about
that,” Marzulli states, emphasizing their role in supernatural activity. He connects
these phenomena to the ancient Nephilim and suggests that portals could be
conduits for demonic deception in modern times. According to Marzulli, these
portals are not merely the stuff of speculation but are deeply tied to end-time
prophecies, where spiritual forces seek to deceive even the elect (Matt. 24:24).
Given Marzulli’s warnings, could the Vatican’s Holy Doors be more than symbolic?
Are they inadvertently engaging in a spiritual practice they may not fully
understand? THE BIBLE WARNS AGAINST RITUALS AND PRACTICES THAT OPEN
THE DOOR—LITERALLY OR METAPHORICALLY—TO SPIRITUAL FORCES OUTSIDE
GOD’S WILL. IF THESE “HOLY DOORS” ARE SEEN AS SPIRITUAL GATEWAYS, ONE
MUST ASK: WHAT, OR WHO, MIGHT COME THROUGH?
WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE THE BODY OF CHRIST?
Christians should approach this development with discernment. WHILE THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMS THESE RITUALS ENCOURAGE SPIRITUAL RENEWAL,
THEY RISK OBSCURING THE SIMPLICITY OF THE GOSPEL. JESUS’ SACRIFICE ON THE
CROSS WAS “ONCE FOR ALL” (HEB. 10:10), AND HIS RESURRECTION OPENED THE
ULTIMATE “DOOR” TO ETERNAL LIFE. NO AMOUNT OF BRICK-REMOVAL
CEREMONIES CAN ADD TO THAT TRUTH.
Moreover, Marzulli’s insights serve as a cautionary reminder that we are engaged
in a spiritual battle, one that requires vigilance. Rituals like the Holy Doors may be
well-intentioned, but THEY SHOULD NOT DISTRACT FROM THE CENTRALITY OF
CHRIST’S FINISHED WORK OR INADVERTENTLY OPEN PATHWAYS TO SPIRITUAL
DECEPTION.
As we observe the unfolding of these events, let’s remember that OUR HOPE DOES
NOT REST IN RITUALS, TRADITIONS OR EVEN THE OPENING OF PHYSICAL DOORS.
IT RESTS SOLELY IN THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST, THE TRUE
DOORWAY TO SALVATION. ANYTHING ELSE IS, AT BEST, A DISTRACTION—AND AT
WORST, A POTENTIAL GATEWAY TO FORCES WE ARE NOT CALLED TO ENGAGE.

A nativity scene featuring baby JESUS WRAPPED IN A KEFFIYEH was unveiled AT POPE
FRANCIS’ NATIVITY SCENE AND CHRISTMAS TREE INAUGURATION ON SATURDAY IN ST.
PETER’S SQUARE. The piece, titled “Nativity of Bethlehem 2024,” was designed by two
artists from Bethlehem, Johny Andonia and Faten Nastas Mitwasi.
The main structure is nearly 10 feet tall and has shelves showing various nativity scenes.
22 | P a g e
At the unveiling, Pope Francis stated that the scene served as a reminder of those who
“suffer the tragedy of war in the Holy Land and other parts of the world.” “Enough with
wars, enough of violence!” he said before once again condemning the arms industry “that
thrives on war and death.”
The sculpture was designed from olive wood, as well as mother-of-pearl, stone, ceramic,
glass, felt, and fabric.

On Saturday, Pope Francis attended a nativity scene titled "Nativity of Bethlehem
2024," crafted in the Judean city of the same name, by Johny Andonia and Faten
Nastas Mitwasi and presented by Palestinian officials in Pope Paul VI Hall in Vatican
City. THE DISPLAY DEPICTING THE BIRTH OF JESUS IN BETHLEHEM FEATURED
BABY JESUS SWADDLED IN A KEFFIYEH.
Speaking at the event, a wheelchair-bound Francis called on Catholics to
"remember the brothers and sisters, who, right there [in Bethlehem] and in other
parts of the world, are suffering from the tragedy of war," adding, "enough war,
enough violence!" and lamenting the existence of the commercial arms trade.

17. POPE, ABBAS DISCUSS TWO-STATE SOLUTION AT
VATICAN MEETING
Story by KUB ANSA DECEMBER 12, 2024
(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 12 - POPE FRANCIS ON THURSDAY MET WITH PALESTINIAN
PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS AT THE VATICAN. After the private talks, which lasted
over 30 minutes, President Abbas met with the Holy See's Secretary of State, Cardinal
Pietro Parolin, and the Secretary for Relations with States, Archbishop Paul Gallagher.
A statement released by the Vatican Press Office after the meetings said that, "reiterating
the condemnation of all forms of terrorism, THE IMPORTANCE OF REACHING THE
SOLUTION FOR THE TWO STATES ONLY THROUGH DIALOGUE AND DIPLOMACY WAS
EMPHASIZED, ENSURING THAT JERUSALEM, PROTECTED BY A SPECIAL STATUS, CAN BE
25 | P a g e
A PLACE OF ENCOUNTER AND FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE THREE GREAT MONOTHEISTIC
RELIGIONS".
The statement also said that, "during the cordial talks, which took place at the Secretariat
of State, reference was made to the good bilateral relations, HIGHLIGHTING THE
IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO PALESTINIAN SOCIETY, also
in assisting in the very serious humanitarian situation in Gaza, where it is hoped that
there will be a ceasefire and the release of all hostages as soon as possible".
"Finally, the hope was expressed that the Jubilee of 2025 may lead to the return of
pilgrims in the Holy Land, which longs so much for peace", it concluded. Abbas thanked
the pontiff in a statement "FOR HIS POSITIONS IN SUPPORT OF ACHIEVING A JUST PEACE
IN PALESTINE BASED ON THE TWO STATE SOLUTION, a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, access
to aid in the Strip and the provision of hospitals, schools and places of worship that can
have all the necessary protection", according to the official Palestinian news agency
Wafa.

23. Pope Francis Proclaims Special Jubilee for
LGBTQ+ Community
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. BREITBART 7 Dec 2024
ROME — POPE FRANCIS HAS PROCLAIMED A SPECIAL JUBILEE PILGRIMAGE FOR
GAYS AND ALL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE, Italian media announced this weekend.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, A SPECIFIC JUBILEE EVENT WILL BE DEDICATED TO CATHOLIC
HOMOSEXUALS AND LGBT PEOPLE, noted the Italian daily, Il Messaggero, despite
the Catholic Church considering homosexual acts to be intrinsically disordered.
On September 5, CATHOLIC MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQI+ COMMUNITY WILL
BE HOSTED BY THE JESUIT CHURCH OF THE GESÙ, IN CENTRAL ROME, FOR A VIGIL
SERVICE.
32 | P a g e
The Jubilee 2025 initiative is sponsored by Jonathan’s Tent, an Italian pro-LGBTQ
organization founded in 2018 by Catholic priest Father David Esposito that aims to
reconcile “homosexuality and faith.”
The news was welcomed by other LGBT advocacy groups.
“Any initiative aimed at welcoming LGBTQIA+ people and overcoming the obstacles
they encounter in fully exercising their rights, including those of a spiritual life, can
only be welcomed by us with applause and enthusiasm,” Gabriele Piazzoni, general
secretary of Arcigay, said.
Nonetheless, Piazzoni added, Catholics still have a long way to go on issues such as
gay rights, abortion, and euthanasia.
“Catholics are still today the most hostile politicians to the exercise of our
freedoms, as well as many freedoms related to the dignity of people and selfdetermination
over their bodies, from end-of-life issues to voluntary termination
of pregnancy,” he said.
“And these remain facts that are difficult to overcome with a pilgrimage, however
welcome and positive in itself,” he said.
Similarly, Rosario Coco, president of Gaynet, suggested that beginning with the
Jubilee, “let’s shelve the rhetoric of gender and reach a clear position against
conversion practices and the criminalization of homosexuality and trans people
around the world.”
“Pope Francis has shown great openness towards homosexual people,” Il
Messaggero pointed out, but at the same time, “he has always spoken out clearly
against the ‘gay lobbies,’ as well as against the entry into seminaries of boys with
this sexual identity.”
It also noted, however, that the pontiff has decried the problem of “faggotry” in
some Catholic seminaries, urging bishops to curb the situation.

24. VATICAN EMPLOYEE SAYS ‘GAY LOBBY’ WIELDS
ENORMOUS INFLUENCE OVER POPE FRANCIS
In an anonymous interview with Italian media outlet Panorama, a member of the
Vatican’s labor union complained that POPE FRANCIS GIVES STRONG PREFERENCE
TO THOSE WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA.
Stephen Kokx Sat Dec 14, 2024 - 2:16 pm EST
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A frustrated Vatican employee has alleged that
POPE FRANCIS IS GIVING PREFERENCE TO THE “GAY LOBBY” WHEN IT COMES TO
DECISION MAKING.
In an anonymous interview with Italian media outlet Panorama, a member of the
Vatican’s labor union complained that not only are fellow employees dissatisfied
with Francis’s alleged financial management, but that he gives strong preference
to those who are in favor of the homosexual agenda.
“YOU CAN’T MOVE UP UNLESS YOU’RE A FRIEND OF ONE OF THE TWO LOBBIES
THAT COUNT: EITHER THE ‘GAY LOBBY,’ WHICH IS EXTENSIVE AND VERY
POWERFUL, OR THE ‘SANTA MARTA CLUB’ AROUND THE POPE,” the person, who
went by the initials “G.F.” told the outlet.
The person further remarked that if “you want to join, you can’t read newspapers
of the center-right and you have to speak Spanish.” You “HAVE TO BE GREEN, PRO-
MIGRANT AND, ABOVE ALL, PRO-PALESTINIAN. For them, Nicolas Maduro is a
saint, and Donald Trump is a devil.”
THE INFLUENCE OF THE HOMOSEXUAL LOBBY IN THE CHURCH IS NOT MERE
SPECULATION. LIFESITE HAS PRESENTED EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE
GROUP’S EFFORTS FOR YEARS. ITS POWER OVER FRANCIS IS INDICATED BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, HIS PAPAL APPOINTMENTS, TREATMENT OF
HOMOSEXUAL GROUPS, AND OTHER SIGNS OF OBVIOUS FAVORITISM.
Just this month Francis named 21 new Cardinals, among them pro-LGBT Dominican
priest Father Timothy Radcliffe. Francis has also elevated the public profile of PRO-
LGBT JESUIT PRIEST JAMES MARTIN BY REPEATEDLY PRAISING HIS WORK
AND HIS HERETICAL GROUP OUTREACH. WHAT’S MORE, FRANCIS
35 | P a g e
RECENTLY GREETED A US-BASED TRANSGENDER HERMIT AT THE VATICAN
AND HAS OFTEN WELCOMED OTHER GROUPS OF GENDER-CONFUSED PERSONS
TO THE VATICAN .
Additionally, Francis is believed to have personally intervened to rehabilitate Fr.
Marko Rupnik, who was removed from the Jesuit order and excommunicated after
36 | P a g e
having been credibly accused of sexually and spiritually abusing numerous people,
including nuns and male victims. Francis also appointed Fr. Robert Pasolini, who
supports a pro-homosexual reading of the Bible, as the preacher of the Papal
Household. Perhaps worst of all, Francis approved the heretical Fiducia
Supplicans declaration, which permits priests to give blessings to homosexual
couples.
“G.F.” also told Panorama that Vatican employees may publicly express more
frustration with their compensation packages, stating that “we’ve had the
impression that Pope Francis governs Vatican finances with suspicion and
partiality.”
The Association of Lay Vatican Employees responded in a statement to the
comments by noting that while “many in the Vatican are concerned about possible
cuts to salaries and pensions” the Panorama interview is not helpful because it
“does nothing other than to create confusion and to throw employees into panic.”
25. POPE FRANCIS’ SLAMMED FOR MAKING PRO-
LGBT TIMOTHY RADCLIFFE A CARDINAL
Stephen Kokx Sat Dec 14, 2024 - 4:02 pm EST
(LifeSiteNews) — EWTN contributor Father Gerald Murray told Raymond Arroyo
this week that POPE FRANCIS’ NAMING OF PRO-LGBT DOMINICAN PRIEST FATHER
TIMOTHY RADCLIFFE TO THE CARDINALATE is causing him “great anguish.”
“The faithful are being misled when they see people promote homosexuality,
promoted in the Church,” Murray, a priest of the Diocese of New York, remarked.
“Cardinal Radcliffe is a particularly offensive defender of homosexual activity.”
37 | P a g e
https://twitter.com/i/status/1867584435631132978
RADCLIFFE IS THE FORMER GRAND MASTER OF THE DOMINICAN ORDER (1992-
2001). HE HAS ESPOUSED HERETICAL VIEWS ON HOMOSEXUALITY AND LGBT
ISSUES FOR DECADES.
As previously reported by LifeSiteNews’s Rome correspondent Michael Haynes,
RADCLIFFE HAS OFFERED “LGBT MASSES,” PRAISED HOMOSEXUAL PRIESTS, SAID
THAT HOMOSEXUAL ACTS CAN EXPRESS CHRIST’S “SELF-GIFT,” AND
HAS COMMENTED POSITIVELY THAT “CHURCH LEADERS ARE SLOWLY COMING
TO SUPPORT SAME-SEX CIVIL UNIONS.”
AT LEAST NINE OF THE TWENTY INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE NAMED CARDINALS
THIS MONTH HAVE VIEWS SIMILAR TO RADCLIFFE’S, LIFESITE HAS FOUND.
In an exclusive interview this month, LifeSite’s Rome correspondent Michael
Haynes asked Radcliffe to clarify his previous remarks. In response,
38 | P a g e
RADCLIFFE ESSENTIALLY DOUBLED DOWN ON HIS LGBT MASSES AND HIS
STATEMENTS ON HOMOSEXUAL ACTS.
Murray seemingly referenced Haynes’ interview during his appearance on The
World Over.
“[RADCLIFFE] GAVE A SPEECH A FEW YEARS AGO IN WHICH HE SAID THAT
[HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVITY] COULD EVEN BE, IN SOME SENSE, EUCHARISTIC. He was
asked about that by a reporter recently, and he tried to defend his notions,” Murray
said. He continued: “What I sense here … is A CONTINUOUS APPROVAL OF
CHURCHMEN WHO CRITICIZE AND DO NOT SUPPORT THE CHURCH’S TEACHING
ON THE IMMORAL NATURE OF HOMOSEXUAL ACTS.”
IT IS “BASICALLY A SIGN OF THE COMPLETE CHAOTIC STATE OF THE DEFENSE OF
CATHOLIC TEACHING IN THE HOLY SEE. YOU CANNOT HAVE A CARDINAL WHO
CONTRADICTS THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BEING GIVEN THIS
POSITION NOW WHERE HE’S VIEWED AS HAVING GREATER AUTHORITY.”
As reported by LifeSiteNews earlier today, a Vatican employee recently told an
Italian news outlet that he believes A POWERFUL NETWORK OF PRO-
HOMOSEXUAL FORCES WIELDS ENORMOUS INFLUENCE OVER POPE FRANCIS.
“You can’t move up unless you’re a friend of one of the two lobbies that count:
either the ‘gay lobby,’ which is extensive and very powerful, or the ‘Santa Marta
Club’ around the Pope,” the person said.
ADDITIONALLY, FRANCIS IS BELIEVED TO HAVE PERSONALLY INTERVENED TO
REHABILITATE FR. MARKO RUPNIK, WHO WAS REMOVED FROM THE JESUIT
ORDER AND WAS EXCOMMUNICATED AFTER HAVING BEEN CREDIBLY ACCUSED
OF SEXUALLY AND SPIRITUALLY ABUSING NUMEROUS PEOPLE, INCLUDING NUNS
AND MALE VICTIMS. FRANCIS ALSO APPOINTED FR. ROBERT PASOLINI, WHO
SUPPORTS A PRO-HOMOSEXUAL READING OF THE BIBLE, AS THE PREACHER OF
THE PAPAL HOUSEHOLD. PERHAPS WORST OF ALL, FRANCIS APPROVED
THE HERETICAL FIDUCIA SUPPLICANS DECLARATION IN 2023,
WHICH PERMITS PRIESTS TO GIVE BLESSINGS TO HOMOSEXUAL COUPLES.
39 | P a g e
26. POPE FRANCIS NAMES PRO-GAY CLERIC
‘PREACHER OF THE PAPAL HOUSEHOLD’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 16 Nov 2024
ROME — POPE FRANCIS HAS NAMED PRO-LGBT FATHER ROBERTO PASOLINI
PREACHER OF THE PAPAL HOUSEHOLD, generating new consternation among the
Catholic faithful.
Father Pasolini, a 53-year-old Capuchin friar from Milan, is replacing Cardinal
Raniero Cantalamessa, a man who has held the position of preacher of the Papal
Household for 44 years since his appointment by Pope John Paul II in 1980.
In that new role, Father Pasolini “will deliver Advent and Lenten sermons to the
pope and members of the Roman Curia.”
40 | P a g e
Since the priest’s elevation, his critics have pointed to troubling
statements captured on video, where PASOLINI ENCOURAGES HIS
CONGREGATIONS TO IMAGINE FIGURES FROM THE BIBLE HAVING SAME-SEX
RELATIONS, AND EVEN ENTERTAINS THE POSSIBILITY THAT JESUS AND HIS
DISCIPLES MIGHT HAVE ENGAGED IN THE SAME BEHAVIOR.
WE CANNOT SIMPLY SAY THERE IS NO “FORM OF APPROVAL” OF HOMOSEXUAL
RELATIONS IN THE BIBLE, he told a group gathered at the Capuchin Convent in the
northern Italian city of Varese last February.
Speaking of the friendship between Jonathan and King David, the priest said that
while there was no explicit mention of a homosexual relationship in the biblical
text, “WE CAN IMAGINE IT, WE CAN THINK ABOUT IT, WE CAN LIKE TO THINK
ABOUT IT, but it is not written.”
“Surely there were stories of homosexual love at the time, this is evident, so
nothing prevents us from being able to think about it, to be able to imagine it,” he
stated.
He then went on to suggest that homosexuality provides a plausible reason for the
concern expressed by a Roman centurion for his sick servant in the gospel, which
impels him to implore Jesus to heal him.
“Jesus never spoke so well of a person as of this man,” Pasolini noted, when he
declared: “I have never seen such faith in Israel.”
For a Roman centurion a sick servant means nothing, the priest insisted, so when a
centurion goes to such lengths to heal this servant it sparks a question: “Why was
he so dear to him? Was he working well? Maybe he worked more than the others?
We might think so, or, as some say, maybe there was a relationship between the
two of them.”
“It is not unseemly to think so, but think a little if it were so: Jesus gave the greatest
praise to whom?” he asked rhetorically, which means we may have “to reconsider
all the opinions we have.”
There are other possible episodes, he said, which could even “GO SO FAR AS TO
HYPOTHESIZE THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS,
FOR EXAMPLE, WITHIN THE CIRCLE OF THE DISCIPLES, BETWEEN JESUS AND THE
DISCIPLES, JESUS AND LAZARUS, BECAUSE THERE ARE EXPRESSIONS THAT ‘JESUS
LOVED LAZARUS,’ THERE ARE VERY STRONG EXPRESSIONS.”
41 | P a g e
In conclusion, the priest said that THE MOST PLAUSIBLE REASON THAT THE BIBLE
SEEMED TO CONDEMN HOMOSEXUAL PRACTICE WAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF
THE TIME HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF A HOMOSEXUAL ORIENTATION, AND
THUS HOMOSEXUAL ACTS SEEMED TO BE AGAINST NATURE.
“It must be said that the Bible does not even hypothesize a world in which there is
a tendency that is not heterosexual,” he stated. “In the culture of that time, the
only tendency that existed in the eyes of the authors and the people they saw was
the heterosexual one.” “For this reason, homosexual acts were stigmatized with
such force,” he said, because “they were acts that were immediately cataloged as
something that did not exist.”
THE POPE’S APPOINTMENT OF FATHER PASOLINI TO HIS NEW ROLE AS THE
VATICAN’S OFFICIAL PREACHER FOLLOWS CLOSELY ON HIS ANNOUNCEMENT IN
OCTOBER THAT HE WAS NAMING THE WELL-KNOWN GAY-RIGHTS ADVOCATE
FATHER TIMOTHY RADCLIFFE TO BECOME A CARDINAL.
FATHER RADCLIFFE, THE FORMER SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE DOMINICAN
ORDER, HAS URGED CATHOLICS TO “ACCOMPANY” GAY PEOPLE, WHICH MEANS,
HE SAID, “WATCHING ‘BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN,’ READING GAY NOVELS, LIVING
WITH OUR GAY FRIENDS AND LISTENING WITH THEM AS THEY LISTEN TO THE
LORD.” HE HAS ALSO ARGUED THAT GAY SEX CAN BE “EUCHARISTIC,” AND
EXPRESSIVE OF CHRIST’S SELF-GIFT IN HOLY COMMUNION.
We cannot begin with the question of whether gay sex is permitted or forbidden,
he exclaimed. “We must ask what it means, and how far it is Eucharistic.”
“Certainly, IT CAN BE (5) GENEROUS, VULNERABLE, TENDER, MUTUAL AND NON-
VIOLENT. SO, IN MANY WAYS, I WOULD THINK THAT IT CAN BE EXPRESSIVE OF
CHRIST’S SELF-GIFT,” he said.
42 | P a g e
“WE CAN ALSO SEE HOW IT CAN BE EXPRESSIVE OF MUTUAL FIDELITY, A
COVENANTAL RELATIONSHIP IN WHICH TWO PEOPLE BIND THEMSELVES TO EACH
OTHER FOR EVER,” he added.
27. LGBTQ+ GROUP LOBBIES POPE FRANCIS TO
APPROVE SEX CHANGE OPERATIONS
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 14 Oct 2024
ROME — A group of LGBTQ+ Catholics met with Pope Francis in the Vatican this
weekend, during which they urged him to give his approval for “GENDER-
AFFIRMING CARE,” WHICH INCLUDES SEX CHANGE SURGERY.
43 | P a g e
The nearly 90-minute meeting was brokered by SISTER JEANNINE GRAMICK, A U.S.
NUN WHO WAS DISCIPLINED BY THE VATICAN IN 1999 FOR PROBLEMATIC
“ERRORS AND AMBIGUITIES” IN HER PASTORAL APPROACH TO HOMOSEXUALITY.
That year, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)
permanently barred Sr. Gramick from any PASTORAL WORK INVOLVING
HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS, TOGETHER WITH FATHER ROBERT NUGENT, WITH
WHOM SHE HAD CO-FOUNDED NEW WAYS MINISTRY, A SUPPOSEDLY
“CATHOLIC” APOSTOLATE TO LGBTQ+ PERSONS.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith “is obliged to declare for the good
of the Catholic faithful that the positions advanced by Sister Jeannine Gramick and
Father Robert Nugent regarding the intrinsic evil of homosexual acts and the
objective disorder of the homosexual inclination are doctrinally unacceptable
because they do not faithfully convey the clear and constant teaching of the
Catholic Church in this area,” the text declared.
44 | P a g e
In touting this weekend’s meeting with the pope, New Ways Ministry said FRANCIS
HAD MET “WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF TRANSGENDER, INTERSEX, AND ALLY
CATHOLICS, INCLUDING A MEDICAL DOCTOR WHO PROVIDES GENDER
TRANSITION CARE.”
“The group urged Pope Francis to move past the Church’s negative approach to
gender-diverse people, and to ENCOURAGE CHURCH LEADERS TO LISTEN MORE
ATTENTIVELY TO THE LIVES AND FAITH OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE,” the group’s Oct. 12
press release stated.
According to the text, Sister Gramick arranged the meeting after reading that the
Vatican still condemns “medical care for transgender people who transition,” such
as the administration of puberty blockers and sex change operations.
“She wanted Pope Francis to hear directly from transgender and intersex Catholics
and those who support them, so she contacted the pontiff, and he eagerly accepted
the opportunity,” the text said.
45 | P a g e
“I AM GRATEFUL TO POPE FRANCIS THAT HE WAS WILLING TO LISTEN TO THE
EXPERIENCES OF INTERSEX AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE,” Gramick said. “It is only
by listening to stories of these individuals, as well as the individuals who care for
and about them, that the Church will be able to FULLY HEAR THE VOICE OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT CALLING THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY TO BREAK OUT OF OLD, ILL-
INFORMED TEACHINGS AND PRACTICES.”
In its 1999 text reproving Father Nugent and Sister Gramick for their LGBTQ+
ministry, the Vatican noted that “the promotion of errors and ambiguities is not
consistent with a Christian attitude of true respect and compassion.”
Persons who are struggling with homosexuality “no less than any others have the
right to receive the authentic teaching of the Church from those who minister to
them,” it said.
The U.S. bishops have refused to allow New Ways Ministry to call itself a “Catholic”
organization.
In 2010, Cardinal Francis George, then-president of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference
(USCCB), issued a statement underscoring serious questions about New Ways
Ministry’s “adherence to Church teaching on homosexuality.”
46 | P a g e
“NO ONE SHOULD BE MISLED BY THE CLAIM THAT NEW WAYS MINISTRY
PROVIDES AN AUTHENTIC INTERPRETATION OF CATHOLIC TEACHING AND AN
AUTHENTIC CATHOLIC PASTORAL PRACTICE,” Cardinal George wrote. “THEIR
CLAIM TO BE CATHOLIC ONLY CONFUSES THE FAITHFUL REGARDING THE
AUTHENTIC TEACHING AND MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH WITH RESPECT TO
PERSONS WITH A HOMOSEXUAL INCLINATION.”
“Like other groups that claim to be Catholic but deny central aspects of Church
teaching,” the cardinal declared, “I wish to make it clear that NEW WAYS MINISTRY
HAS NO APPROVAL OR RECOGNITION FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THAT
THEY CANNOT SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE CATHOLIC FAITHFUL IN THE UNITED
STATES.”

28. NEW CARDINALS LARGELY ‘LGBTQ-POSITIVE’,
CATHOLIC HOMOSEXUAL GROUP SAYS
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 11 Oct 2024
ROME — A NOTORIOUS “CATHOLIC” PRO-LGBT GROUP HAS RANKED THE NEW
BATCH OF CARDINALS-ELECT NAMED BY POPE FRANCIS AS LARGELY “LGBTQ-
POSITIVE.”
“POPE FRANCIS HAS NAMED 21 NEW CARDINALS, A NUMBER OF WHOM HAVE
LGBTQ-POSITIVE RECORDS, to be elevated at a December consistory,” gushes
Robert Shine, managing editor of NEW WAYS MINISTRY, A PSEUDO-CATHOLIC
ORGANIZATION WHOSE BELIEFS COLLIDE WITH THOSE OF THE CHURCH.
50 | P a g e
Overall, Shine writes, “THOSE WHO HAD PUBLIC RECORDS ON LGBTQ+ ISSUES
WERE LARGELY WELCOMING,” and topping the list was gay-rights advocate Father
TIMOTHY RADCLIFFE, A DOMINICAN FRIAR WHO HAS CHAMPIONED THE
HOMOSEXUAL CAUSE FOR DECADES.
Another new cardinal-to-be, Bishop Pablo Virgilio David of Kalookan, Philippines,
threw his PUBLIC SUPPORT BEHIND LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CREATE SPECIAL
PROTECTIONS RELATING TO “GENDER IDENTITY” AND “SEXUAL ORIENTATION,”
DESCRIBING SUPPORT FOR THE BILL AS A “CHRISTIAN IMPERATIVE.”
New Ways also highlights Archbishop Tarcisio Isao Kikuchi of Tokyo, Japan, who will
join the others to become a cardinal on December 8. In 2023, Kikuchi contributed
to A VOLUME OF ESSAYS TITLED LGBT AND CHRISTIANITY, WHICH WAS EDITED BY
A GAY UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST PASTOR. The Tokyo archdiocese supports and
promotes the LGBT CATHOLIC JAPAN GROUP, including its monthly Masses.
In 1999, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF)
permanently barred the two co-founders of New Ways Ministry, Sr. Jeannine
Gramick, SSND, and Fr. Robert Nugent, from any pastoral work involving
homosexual persons because of “errors and ambiguities” in their pastoral
approach.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith “is obliged to declare for the good
of the Catholic faithful that the positions advanced by Sister Jeannine Gramick and
Father Robert Nugent regarding the intrinsic evil of homosexual acts and the
objective disorder of the homosexual inclination are doctrinally unacceptable
because they do not faithfully convey the clear and constant teaching of the
Catholic Church in this area,” the text declared.
While Father Nugent and Sister Gramick have often stated that they seek to treat
homosexual persons with respect, compassion and sensitivity, the document adds,
“the promotion of errors and ambiguities is not consistent with a Christian attitude
of true respect and compassion.”
Persons who are struggling with homosexuality “no less than any others have the
right to receive the authentic teaching of the Church from those who minister to
them,” it said.
51 | P a g e
For their part, the U.S. bishops have openly refuted New Ways Ministry’s claim to
be a Catholic organization.
In 2010, Cardinal Francis George, then-president of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference
(USCCB), issued a statement noting that “from the time of the organization’s
founding in 1977, serious questions have been raised about the group’s adherence
to Church teaching on homosexuality.”
“NO ONE SHOULD BE MISLED BY THE CLAIM THAT NEW WAYS MINISTRY
PROVIDES AN AUTHENTIC INTERPRETATION OF CATHOLIC TEACHING AND AN
AUTHENTIC CATHOLIC PASTORAL PRACTICE,” CARDINAL GEORGE WROTE. “THEIR
CLAIM TO BE CATHOLIC ONLY CONFUSES THE FAITHFUL REGARDING THE
AUTHENTIC TEACHING AND MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH WITH RESPECT TO
PERSONS WITH A HOMOSEXUAL INCLINATION.”
“LIKE OTHER GROUPS THAT CLAIM TO BE CATHOLIC BUT DENY CENTRAL ASPECTS
OF CHURCH TEACHING,” the cardinal declared, “I wish to make it clear that New
Ways Ministry has no approval or recognition from the Catholic Church and that
they cannot speak on behalf of the Catholic faithful in the United States.”
In the Catholic Church, cardinals are the pope’s closest advisers, and upon the
death of a pope it falls to the college of cardinals to meet in conclave to elect a new
pope.

29. FORMER VATICAN CHIEF ACCUSES POPE
FRANCIS OF ‘SINS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 26 Nov 2024
ROME — German Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former head of the Vatican’s
doctrinal office (DDF), has published a searing article accusing POPE FRANCIS OF
“SINS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT.”
While never mentioning the pontiff by name, the 76-year-old cardinal
nonetheless refers to certain acts that only the pope can carry out.
It is “a sin against the Holy Spirit,” he writes, to depose bishops and priests, or even
laicize them, “purely at personal discretion, without a canonical process,” in
obvious reference to Pope Francis.
The most evident case in point is BISHOP JOSEPH STRICKLAND, WHOM FRANCIS
OUSTED FROM HIS DIOCESE OF TYLER TEXAS PRESUMABLY FOR HIS CRITICISMS
OF THE POPE.
Just last week, BISHOP STRICKLAND REPROACHED HIS FELLOW U.S. BISHOPS AS
“SILENT SHEPHERDS” FOR THEIR FAILURE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST “FALSE
MESSAGES” COMING OUT OF THE VATICAN UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF POPE
FRANCIS.
Almost all of you “stood by silently watching as the Synod on Synodality took place,
an abomination constructed not to guard the Deposit of Faith but to dismantle it,”
Strickland states in reference to a recent month-long meeting in the Vatican.
In his article, Cardinal Müller also takes aim at the notion of “synodality,” asserting
that a so-called “synodal Church” is “a concept that at least partially, if not
completely, contradicts the Catholic understanding of the Church.”
“DIRECT DIVINE REVELATION IS WEAPONIZED TO MAKE THE SELF-
RELATIVIZATION OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST ACCEPTABLE (‘ALL RELIGIONS ARE
PATHS TO GOD’),” Müller warns, citing a comment that POPE FRANCIS MADE IN
53 | P a g e
SEPTEMBER THAT SEEMED TO RELATIVIZE CHRISTIANITY’S CENTRAL MESSAGE OF
SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
Anyone who, “by appealing to personal and collective inspiration from the Holy
Spirit, seeks to reconcile the teaching of the Church with an ideology hostile to
revelation and with the tyranny of relativism is guilty in various ways of a ‘sin
against the Holy Spirit,’” Müller writes, alluding to the words of Jesus (Matt. 12:31;
Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10).
The Church maintains that “the person of Jesus Christ is the full truth of God in an
insurmountable ‘newness’ for all people,” Müller adds, citing Saint Peter: “There is
salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among
mortals by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
THE MOST CURRENT SIN AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT IS “WHEN THE
SUPERNATURAL ORIGIN AND CHARACTER OF CHRISTIANITY IS DENIED IN ORDER
TO SUBORDINATE THE CHURCH OF THE TRIUNE GOD TO THE GOALS AND
PURPOSES OF A WORLDLY SALVATION PROJECT, BE IT ECO-SOCIALIST CLIMATE
NEUTRALITY OR AGENDA 2030 OF THE ‘GLOBALIST ELITE,’” Müller states.

30. OUSTED BISHOP: POPE FRANCIS ‘DOES NOT
LOVE THE TRUTH’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 15 Nov 2024
ROME — Conservative Bishop Joseph Strickland, who was ousted from his Texas
diocese by Pope Francis in 2023, has rebuked his fellow U.S. bishops as “silent
shepherds” for their failure to speak out against “false messages” coming out of
the Vatican.
In an open letter addressed to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
during their 2024 fall plenary assembly in Baltimore this week, Bishop Strickland
repeatedly asks what it will take for the bishops to “finally speak up against the
FALSE MESSAGES CONSTANTLY FLOWING FROM THE VATICAN UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP OF POPE FRANCIS”:
55 | P a g e
Almost all of you “stood by silently watching as the Synod on Synodality took place,
an abomination constructed not to guard the Deposit of Faith but to dismantle it,”
Strickland states in reference to a recent month-long meeting in the Vatican.
POPE FRANCIS “HAS ABDICATED HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO SERVE AS THE PRIMARY
GUARDIAN OF THE DEPOSIT OF FAITH,” the bishop adds.
THE POPE’S ACTIONS AND HIS POLICIES “PROMOTE A RELATIVIZED VERSION OF
TRUTH THAT IS NOT TRUTH AT ALL,” he writes, leading to the “devastating
conclusion” that “THE MAN WHO OCCUPIES THE CHAIR OF ST. PETER DOES NOT
LOVE THE TRUTH AND SEEKS TO RESHAPE IT IN THE IMAGE OF MAN.”
For example, he continues, “FRANCIS HAS STATED PUBLICLY THAT GOD WILLS THE
EXISTENCE OF ALL RELIGIONS AND THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE A PATH TO GOD,”
AND IN SO DOING, HE “HAS DENIED AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH.”
“Every bishop and cardinal should publicly and unequivocally state that FRANCIS
NO LONGER TEACHES THE CATHOLIC FAITH,” he declares.
Moreover, with A POPE WHO IS ACTIVELY OPPOSING THE DIVINE TRUTHS OF THE
CATHOLIC FAITH, “the responsibility falls to the bishops of the world to profess
their own love of Our Lord, to guard the Sacred Deposit of Faith, and to oppose any
attempt to dismantle the Truth,” he states.
56 | P a g e
Strickland goes on to assert that he has taken up the cause for the simple reason
that someone had to speak out.
“I was an obscure bishop who should have remained obscure,” he writes, and there
are many more talented men gathered at the bishops’ annual meeting, “who could
be described as a Catholic brain-trust.”
“Sadly, THEY ARE FOR THE MOST PART SILENT SHEPHERDS, UNWILLING TO RISK
SPEAKING UP IN THE FACE OF EVIL AND DESTRUCTIVE FORCES THAT THREATEN
THE CHURCH,” he states. “These forces have attempted to silence me, but there
was no need to silence these men – they never made a sound.”
57 | P a g e
31. POPE FRANCIS: CLIMATE CHANGE IS ‘THE
REAL CHALLENGE OF OUR CENTURY’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 13 Nov 2024
ROME — POPE FRANCIS HAS SENT A MESSAGE TO THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE
UNITED NATIONS’ COP29 CLIMATE CONFERENCE IN BAKU, AZERBAIJAN, URGING
IMMEDIATE ACTION TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.
“The scientific data available to us do not allow any further delay and make it clear
that THE PRESERVATION OF CREATION IS ONE OF THE MOST URGENT ISSUES OF
OUR TIME,” states the pontiff’s text, read at the conference by the Vatican’s
Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
The pope’s message paints a grim portrait of the global state of affairs, marked by
“growing disillusionment with multilateral institutions and dangerous tendencies
to build walls.”
“Selfishness – individual, national and of power groups – feeds a climate of mistrust
and division that does not respond to the needs of an interdependent world,” the
text declares, for which THE ONLY SOLUTION IS A MULTILATERAL, GLOBALIZED
EFFORT.
Along with a dangerous nationalistic trend, the pope asserts that ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT “HAS NOT REDUCED INEQUALITY” BUT HAS RATHER “FAVORED
THE PRIORITIZATION OF PROFIT AND SPECIAL INTERESTS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE
PROTECTION OF THE WEAKEST.”
THE COST OF ADDRESSING THE CLIMATE CRISIS SHOULD FALL ON THE SHOULDERS
OF THE WEALTHIER NATIONS, THE POPE SUGGESTS, WHICH SHOULD ALSO
“DETERMINE TO FORGIVE THE DEBTS OF COUNTRIES THAT WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO REPAY THEM.”
More than a question of generosity, debt forgiveness “is a matter of justice,” the
pope declares, which is made all the more serious because of a true “ECOLOGICAL
DEBT” between the global North and South, “connected to commercial imbalances
58 | P a g e
with EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT and the disproportionate use of natural
resources by certain countries over long periods of time.”
The pope’s message comes at an interesting time, given the recent landslide
presidential election of Donald Trump, who is committed to regaining America’s
energy independence and who has been highly skeptical of the U.N.’S CLIMATE
PROGRAMS.
In 2017, President Trump formally announced that the United States would
withdraw from the Obama-era Paris Climate Accord, “in order to fulfill my solemn
duty to protect America and its citizens.”
“As President, I can put no other consideration before the wellbeing of American
citizens,” Trump stated in his Rose Garden speech. “The Paris Climate Accord is
simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that
disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries.”
The agreement left American workers and taxpayers “to absorb the cost in terms
of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic
production,” Trump declared.
59 | P a g e
THE PARIS ACCORD IMPOSED “DRACONIAN FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC
BURDENS” ON OUR COUNTRY, HE EXPLAINED, SUCH AS “THE GREEN CLIMATE
FUND WHICH IS COSTING THE UNITED STATES A VAST FORTUNE.”
“As someone who cares deeply about the environment, which I do, I cannot in good
conscience support a deal that punishes the United States — which is what it does
– the world’s leader in environmental protection, while IMPOSING NO
MEANINGFUL OBLIGATIONS ON THE WORLD’S LEADING POLLUTERS,” Trump said.
60 | P a g e
In his speech, Trump noted that America is in a unique position to benefit from
fossil fuel production and should not easily throw it away.
“We have among the most abundant energy reserves on the planet, sufficient to
lift millions of America’s poorest workers out of poverty,” he said. “Yet, under this
agreement, we are EFFECTIVELY PUTTING THESE RESERVES UNDER LOCK AND
KEY… AND LEAVING MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF FAMILIES TRAPPED IN POVERTY
AND JOBLESSNESS.”
The fact is, he said, “that THE PARIS DEAL HAMSTRINGS THE UNITED STATES,
WHILE EMPOWERING SOME OF THE WORLD’S TOP POLLUTING COUNTRIES.”
As the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board quipped about COP29 on Tuesday: “THE
REAL JOKE OF THESE SUMMITS IS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE STILL TAKE THEM
SERIOUSLY.”
Apparently, Pope Francis has not gotten the memo.

33. POPE FRANCIS JOINS GRAND IMAM IN
DENOUNCING CLIMATE ‘CRISIS’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 6 Sep 2024
ROME — POPE FRANCIS HAS SIGNED A JOINT DECLARATION TOGETHER WITH
INDONESIA’S GRAND IMAM NASARUDDIN UMAR, IN WHICH THEY DENOUNCE
THE “CRISIS” OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
“Our world is clearly facing two serious crises, dehumanization and CLIMATE
CHANGE,” THE DECLARATION READS.
62 | P a g e
“THE HUMAN EXPLOITATION OF CREATION, OUR COMMON HOME, HAS
CONTRIBUTED TO CLIMATE CHANGE, LEADING TO VARIOUS DESTRUCTIVE
CONSEQUENCES, SUCH AS NATURAL DISASTERS, GLOBAL WARMING, AND
UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER PATTERNS,” STATES THE TEXT, WHICH WAS READ
ALOUD AND SIGNED IN SOUTHEAST ASIA’S LARGEST MOSQUE.
The Istiqlal Joint Declaration 2024, subtitled “FOSTERING RELIGIOUS HARMONY
FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY,” ASSERTS THAT THE “ONGOING ENVIRONMENTAL
CRISIS HAS BECOME AN OBSTACLE TO THE HARMONIOUS COEXISTENCE OF
PEOPLE.”
“WE SINCERELY CALL ON ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL TO TAKE DECISIVE ACTION
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND
ITS RESOURCES,” it reads, “for we have inherited them from the past generations
and hope to pass them on to our children and grandchildren.”
63 | P a g e
Pope Francis is currently in Jakarta, Indonesia, in the midst of the longest trip of his
11-year pontificate. He plans to visit four countries in the Asia Pacific over 12 days,
the most continuous time he has spent away from the Vatican since his election in
2013.

After Indonesia, he will travel to Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and Singapore.
Along with climate change, the joint declaration decries the “global phenomenon
of dehumanization,” marked by widespread violence and conflict. It is “particularly
worrying” that religion is often instrumentalized in this regard, causing suffering to
many, especially to women, children, and the elderly, it says.
64 | P a g e
In 2019, Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb of Al-Azhar of
Egypt signed a joint declaration in Abu Dhabi, condemning “acts of murder, exile,
terrorism and oppression” carried out in God’s name.
We “resolutely declare that religions must never incite war, hateful attitudes,
hostility and extremism, nor must they incite violence or the shedding of blood,”
the 3,000-word text reads. “These tragic realities are the consequence of a
deviation from religious teachings.”
THE TEXT WAS LATER CRITICIZED BY PROMINENT THEOLOGIANS FOR
“DEVALUING THE PERSON OF JESUS” AND “UNDERMINING THE GOSPEL ITSELF”
SINCE IT SEEMED TO PROPOSE THAT GOD WILLED THE EXISTENCE OF A PLURALITY
OF RELIGIONS JUST AS HE WILLS A PLURALITY OF SEXES, RACES, AND LANGUAGES,
RATHER THAN WILLING THAT ALL PEOPLE FIND THEIR SALVATION IN JESUS
CHRIST.
65 | P a g e
The passage that caused the most consternation said that THE “PLURALISM AND
THE DIVERSITY OF RELIGIONS, COLOR, SEX, RACE AND LANGUAGE ARE WILLED BY
GOD in his wisdom, through which he created human beings.”
A number of Catholic theologians criticized the text, asserting that SUCH A
STATEMENT SEEMED TO SUGGEST THAT EITHER GOD ACTIVELY WILLS ERROR, OR
THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE EQUALLY VALID PATHS TO GOD.
The existence of a variety of colors, races, and languages in humanity is very
different from a variety of contradictory claims about God’s identity and way of
acting, they insisted.
66 | P a g e
POPE FRANCIS REGULARLY SPEAKS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE, DECLARING LAST
MAY THAT IT IS A “PLANETARY CRISIS” WHERE BILLIONS FACE “AN EXTREMELY
HIGH RISK OF CLIMATE-RELATED DEVASTATION.” THE DATA ON CLIMATE
CHANGE “IS GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR,” PUTTING “ALL HUMAN BEINGS IN
GRAVE DANGER,” he said.
CLIMATE CHANGE, TOGETHER WITH BIODIVERSITY LOSS, ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGRADATION, GLOBAL DISPARITIES, AND FOOD INSECURITY, POSES
“EXISTENTIAL THREATS TO HUMANITY, TO OTHER LIVING BEINGS, AND TO ALL
ECOSYSTEMS,” THE POPE DECLARED.
Wealthy nations are especially responsible for the warming earth, he contended,
since the richest nations “produce more than half of the pollutants that trap heat.”
This means that the WEALTHIER NATIONS HAVE CONTRACTED AN “ECOLOGICAL
DEBT” TOWARD POORER NATIONS, FRANCIS PROPOSED, WHICH CALLS FOR DEBT
RESTRUCTURING AND REDUCTION, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF “A NEW
GLOBAL FINANCIAL CHARTER BY 2025.”
67 | P a g e
“THE SPECTER OF CLIMATE CHANGE LOOMS OVER EVERY ASPECT OF EXISTENCE,
THREATENING WATER, AIR, FOOD AND ENERGY SYSTEMS,” HE ARGUED, ADDING
THAT MORE THAN THREE AND A HALF BILLION PEOPLE “LIVE IN REGIONS THAT
ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO THE RAVAGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE.”
THIS “PLANETARY CRISIS” DEMANDS “A UNIVERSAL APPROACH AND SWIFT AND
DECISIVE ACTION, CAPABLE OF PRODUCING POLITICAL CHANGE AND DECISIONS,”
he urged. We need to “aim for global decarbonization, eliminating dependence on
fossil fuels,” he added. “We need to act urgently – urgently!” he said, “because the
stakes couldn’t be higher.”
34. POPE FRANCIS CONSECRATES SEPTEMBER TO
‘THE CRY OF THE EARTH’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 1 Sep 2024
ROME — Pope Francis has consecrated his monthly prayer intention to “THE CRY
OF THE EARTH” THIS SEPTEMBER, URGING CHRISTIANS TO FEEL THE EARTH’S
“PAIN.”
68 | P a g e
“If we took the planet’s temperature, it will tell us that the Earth has a fever,” the
pontiff contends. “And it is sick, just like anyone who’s sick.” “But are we listening
to this pain?” he asks. “Do we hear the pain of the millions of victims of
ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHES?” he continues. “The ones suffering most from
the consequences of these disasters are the poor, those who are forced to leave
their homes because of floods, heat waves or drought.”
Like many today, THE POPE PLACES THE BLAME FOR GLOBAL WARMING FIRMLY
ON THE SHOULDERS OF HUMANITY, INSISTING THAT IT IS PRINCIPALLY HUMAN
ACTION THAT CAUSES A WARMING ENVIRONMENT. “DEALING WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS CAUSED BY HUMANS, SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE,
POLLUTION OR THE LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY, BEGS RESPONSES THAT ARE NOT
ONLY ECOLOGICAL, BUT ARE ALSO SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL,” he
argues.
As he has done on many other occasions, Francis also proposes that the battle
against climate change entails a personal and communal change of attitudes and
modes of acting. “We must commit ourselves to the fight against poverty and the
protection of nature, changing our personal and community habits,” he states.
69 | P a g e
70 | P a g e
“LET US PRAY THAT EACH OF US LISTEN WITH OUR HEARTS TO THE CRY OF THE
EARTH AND OF THE VICTIMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS AND CLIMATE
CHANGE, making a personal commitment to care for the world we inhabit,” he
urges.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE POPE DECLARED THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS BROUGHT
THE WORLD TO THE “BREAKING POINT.”
At the time, Francis wrote that he has “heartfelt concerns” for “our suffering
planet,” contending that “THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE IS COLLAPSING”
BECAUSE OF HUMANITY’S FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE CRISIS.
It is “indubitable” that the impact of climate change will increasingly prejudice the
lives and families of many persons, he argued, adding that its effects are already
felt in the areas of “healthcare, sources of employment, access to resources,
housing, forced migrations, etc.”
The pope has singled out the United States as particularly responsible for the
climate “emergency” because of the “irresponsible lifestyle” of its citizens.
71 | P a g e
“If we consider that emissions per individual in the United States are about two
times greater than those of individuals living in China, and about seven times
greater than the average of the poorest countries, we can state that a broad change
in the irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model would have a
significant long-term impact,” the pope said last October.
The Pillar Catholic, an online Catholic news outlet, noted at the time that in fact
“U.S. per capita emissions are less than 1.5 times that of China,” adding that China’s
per capita emissions levels “are significantly higher than the global average.”
The pope also failed to mention that in aggregate, China’s emissions are more
than double those of the United States, and America’s air is among the cleanest of
any nation, while China’s air quality is among the poorest.
Francis has stated that climate change is “no longer a secondary or ideological
question, but a drama that harms us all,” adding that climate change manifests “a
tragic and striking example of structural sin.”

36. ‘PATH TO THE DEVASTATION OF HELL’: SYNOD
STUDY GROUP ABANDONS MORAL ABSOLUTES
IN DISCERNING QUESTIONS ON SEXUALITY
DYLAN GWINN 4 Oct 2024
A synodal study group established by Pope Francis to discern Catholic teaching on
controversial issues, such as sexuality and life, is USING A “NEW PARADIGM,”
FOCUSING ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND DEEMPHASIZING MORAL
ABSOLUTEs and established Catholic teaching.
73 | P a g e
The group, created in February to present proposals on “matters of great
relevance” from the 2023 Synod on Synodality session, handed over its findings to
the assembly on Wednesday.
INSTEAD OF RELYING ON THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH PRACTICE OF USING
DOCTRINES FORMED AND BASED ON DIVINE REVELATION AND APPLYING THOSE
TEACHINGS TO THE MODERN WORLD, THE SYNOD STUDY GROUP INVERTED THAT
STANDARD BY EMPHASIZING LISTENING TO PEOPLE’S LIVED EXPERIENCES,
OBSERVING CULTURAL CHANGES, AND LETTING THAT INFORM THE CHURCH’S
APPROACH.
“Ethically speaking, it is not a matter of applying pre-packaged objective truth to
the different subjective situations, as if they were mere particular cases of an
immutable and universal law,” said the group’s status report. “The criteria of
discernment arise from listening to the [living] self-gift of Revelation in Jesus in the
today of the Spirit.”
As the National Catholic Register reports, the study group described its new
approach as “conversion of thought or reform of practices in contextual fidelity to
the Gospel of Jesus, who is ‘the same yesterday today and always,’ but whose
‘richness and beauty are inexhaustible.’”
News of this ABRUPT DEPARTURE FROM TRADITION drew a sharp rebuke from
Bishop Emeritus of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, who BLASTED THE STUDY
74 | P a g e
GROUP FOR ITS DISMISSAL OF “MORAL ABSOLUTES” AND WARNED OF WHERE
SUCH AN ABANDONMENT OF MORALITY WOULD LEAD.
“THIS IS SIMPLY WRONG AND LEADERS IN THE CHURCH NEED TO DENOUNCE IT,”
STRICKLAND WROTE ON X. “THERE ARE MORAL ABSOLUTES AND IGNORING
THEM IS A SURE PATH TO THE DEVASTATION OF HELL.”
However, it is precisely the time-honored and established church teachings in
which the study group aims.
THROUGHOUT THEIR FINDINGS, CHURCH DOCTRINE WAS MADE SUBSERVIENT TO
THE GROUP’S “NEW PARADIGM,” WHICH SEEKS TO ESTABLISH AN EVER-
EVOLVING “MORALITY” DIRECTED BY THE PREVAILING CULTURAL WINDS AT THE
TIME.
75 | P a g e
“Only a vital, fruitful, and reciprocal tension between doctrine and practice
embodies the living Tradition and is able to counteract the temptation to rely on
the barren [rigidity] of verbal pronouncements,” the report said.
The group’s findings should perhaps come as no surprise given the make-up of the
7-member panel.
76 | P a g e
Father Maurizio Chiodi, for example, who serves as a professor at the Pontifical
John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and the Family Sciences and a
member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, HAS ADVOCATED FOR both
contraceptive use among married couples and HOMOSEXUAL
RELATIONSHIPS “UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.”
Father Carlo Casalone, another member of the group who was also appointed to
the Pontifical Academy by Francis, has advocated for assisted suicide in Italy.
As the National Catholic Register reports:
In a potential contrast to the group’s report, the Catechism of the Catholic Church
teaches that the fundamental ‘modes of transmission’ of Christ’s revelation are
Scripture and Tradition and that the authoritative interpretation of these sources
‘has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone.’ CHRISTIAN
REVELATION ALSO INCLUDES ABSOLUTE AND UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE MORAL
PRECEPTS, WHICH DO NOT APPEAR SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED OFF SUBJECTIVE
EXPERIENCE OR WIDESPREAD CONSULTATION.
77 | P a g e
37. POPE FRANCIS: ‘ALL RELIGIONS ARE A PATH
TO REACH GOD’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 13 Sep 2024
ROME — POPE FRANCIS TOLD YOUNG PEOPLE IN SINGAPORE ON FRIDAY THAT
ALL RELIGIONS ARE PATHS TO GOD, AN AFFIRMATION THAT SEEMS TO COUNTER
THE CHRISTIAN BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST AS THE SOLE SAVIOR OF HUMANITY.
In an interreligious meeting with youth at Singapore’s Catholic Junior College, THE
PONTIFF UNDERSCORED THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE,
INSISTING THAT THERE IS NO POINT IN ARGUING ABOUT WHO IS RIGHT SINCE
EVERYBODY IS RIGHT. If people start fighting over whose religion is more
important “or saying, ‘Mine is the true religion; yours isn’t true,’ where does that
lead? Where?” the pope asked.
78 | P a g e
Someone in the audience answered, “Destruction,” to which Pope Francis
assented. “Exactly,” HE SAID. “ALL RELIGIONS ARE A PATH TO REACH GOD. THEY
ARE, TO USE A COMPARISON, LIKE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, DIFFERENT DIALECTS
TO GET THERE.” “But God is God for everyone,” he continued. “And since God is
God for everyone, we are all children of God.”
“But my God is more important than yours!” he said, dramatizing. “Is this true?
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND WE, OUR RELIGIONS ARE LANGUAGES, PATHS TO
REACH GOD.” “SOME SIKH, SOME MUSLIM, SOME HINDU, SOME CHRISTIAN, BUT
THEY ARE DIFFERENT PATHS. UNDERSTOOD?” HE SAID.
Pope Francis spoke in Italian, but the Vatican’s English-language translation of the
text altered some of his more controversial statements, softening them, perhaps
to avoid stirring up conflict.
While in Italian the pope asserted that “all religions are a path to reach God,” the
Vatican’s English rendering of the text said, “Religions are seen as paths trying to
reach God” (emphasis added).
79 | P a g e
The Italian original said that religions are “like different languages, different dialects
to get there,” while the English-language text said that they are “like different
languages that express the divine.”
“THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, AND WE, OUR RELIGIONS ARE LANGUAGES, PATHS TO
REACH GOD,” THE POPE SAID IN ITALIAN, to which the Vatican translated, “There
is only one God, and religions are like languages that try to express ways to
approach God.”
“SOME SIKH, SOME MUSLIM, SOME HINDU, SOME CHRISTIAN, BUT THEY ARE
DIFFERENT PATHS,” THE POPE ACTUALLY SAID, which the English translation
cropped to only read, “Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian,”
leaving aside any reference to “paths.”
In its own authoritative text on the “unicity and universality of the salvific mystery
of Jesus Christ,” the Vatican cites the Acts of the Apostles:
“There is salvation (7) in no one else, for there is (7) no other name under heaven
given among (7) men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). (777)
80 | P a g e
“It must therefore be firmly believed as a truth of Catholic faith that the universal
salvific will of the One and Triune God is offered and accomplished once for all in
the mystery of THE INCARNATION, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF THE SON OF
GOD,” the text reads.
For some, “Jesus would be one of the many faces which the Logos has assumed in
the course of time to communicate with humanity in a salvific way,” the document
warns, a thesis that is “in profound conflict with the Christian faith.”
“For there is one God; (7) there is also one mediator between God (7) and men, the
man Jesus Christ, who (7) gave himself as a ransom for all,” (777)
the text states, citing Saint Paul’s First Letter to Timothy (1 Tim 2:4-6).
The text was personally ratified and confirmed by Saint Pope John Paul II, who
ordered its publication.
81 | P a g e
38. POPE FRANCIS: CHRISTIANS, JEWS,
MUSLIMS ‘WORSHIP THE ONE GOD’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 28 Jun 2024
ROME — POPE FRANCIS ASSERTED THIS WEEK CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND MUSLIMS,
ALL WORSHIP THE ONE GOD AND ARE “BROTHERS AND SISTERS.”
“Jesus taught us to welcome one another as brothers and sisters,” the pontiff told
a delegation from the Bologna Mosque in northern Italy. “AND THIS IS TRUE FIRST
OF ALL FOR US, CHRISTIANS, JEWS, AND MUSLIMS, WHO WORSHIP THE ONE
GOD.”
MEMBERS OF ALL THREE FAITHS REFER TO ABRAHAM AS “OUR FATHER IN FAITH,”
HE SAID, “albeit in different ways.”
82 | P a g e
“In today’s world, our witness of fraternity is indispensable and very precious,” he
added.
SINCERE AND RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS “IS A
DUTY FOR US WHO WANT TO OBEY GOD’S WILL,” he contended.
Every believer “must feel free to propose – never impose! – his religion to other
people, believers or not,” he said. “This excludes any form of proselytism,
understood as exerting pressure or threats.”
In addition, “marriages between people of different religions should not be an
opportunity to convert the spouse to his or her religion,” he declared.
The question of WHETHER MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS WORSHIP THE SAME GOD
HAS BEEN HOTLY DEBATED AND IS ONE OF THE “VEXED” ISSUES OF
INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE. WHEREAS POPE FRANCIS HAS VOICED HIS BELIEF
THAT THE CHRISTIAN GOD AND ALLAH ARE THE SAME GOD, OTHER CHRISTIAN
LEADERS DISAGREE.
83 | P a g e
Celebrated evangelical pastor Franklin Graham, for example, the son of evangelist
Billy Graham, has insisted that MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS “CLEARLY” DO NOT
WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.
“ISLAM DENIES THAT GOD HAS A SON,” GRAHAM WROTE. “THEY DENY THAT
JESUS IS GOD. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN A TRIUNE GOD – THE FATHER, THE SON,
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. I CAN TELL YOU – ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY CLEARLY DO
NOT WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.”
Similarly, in 2007, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former prefect of the Vatican’s
Doctrinal office, declared that MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS “DO NOT BELIEVE IN
THE SAME GOD,” UNDERSCORING THE DIFFERENCES IN DOCTRINE CONCERNING
WHO GOD IS.
The former head of the Vatican’s highest court, Cardinal Raymond Burke, has also
argued that MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS DO NOT WORSHIP THE SAME GOD, SINCE
ALLAH IS A “GOVERNOR,” WHEREAS CHRISTIANITY WAS “FOUNDED ON LOVE.”
84 | P a g e
THE MODERN BELIEF THAT ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY THE
SAME “IS VERY MUCH INFLUENCED BY A RELATIVISM OF A RELIGIOUS ORDER,”
the Cardinal said in 2016.
“I hear people saying to me, well, we’re all worshipping the same God. We all
believe in love. But I say stop a minute, and let’s EXAMINE CAREFULLY WHAT
ISLAM IS, AND WHAT OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH TEACHES US,” he said.
“I DON’T BELIEVE IT’S TRUE THAT WE’RE ALL WORSHIPPING THE SAME GOD,
BECAUSE THE GOD OF ISLAM IS A GOVERNOR,” Burke said. “SHARIA IS THEIR LAW,
AND THAT LAW, WHICH COMES FROM ALLAH, MUST DOMINATE EVERY MAN
EVENTUALLY.”
The cardinal said that unlike Christianity, SHARIA IS “NOT A LAW THAT’S FOUNDED
ON LOVE. TO SAY THAT WE ALL BELIEVE IN LOVE IS SIMPLY NOT CORRECT.”
Not only do Christianity and Islam differ in the nature of their laws, Burke proposed,
but also in their approach to proselytism and winning over converts.

In the end, he said, we have to understand that “what they believe most deeply,
that to which they ascribe in their hearts, demands that they govern the world.”
Burke went on to state that “what’s most important for us today is to understand
Islam from its own documents and not to presume that we know already what
we’re talking about.”

40. ARCHBISHOP CHARLES CHAPUT: NO, POPE FRANCIS,
NOT ALL RELIGIONS ARE ‘PATHS TO GOD’
THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 17 Sep 2024
ROME — The redoubtable ARCHBISHOP CHARLES CHAPUT HAS OFFERED
FRATERNAL CORRECTION TO POPE FRANCIS, URGING HIM TO HOLD TO THE BASIC
TENETS OF CHRISTIANITY.
The former archbishop of Philadelphia was responding to the pontiff’s off-thecuff
remarks to youth in Singapore on Friday, in which THE POPE TOLD HIS
LISTENERS THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE PATHS TO GOD, SEEMING TO SUGGEST THAT
NONE IS SUPERIOR TO THE OTHERS.
If people start fighting over whose religion is more important “or saying, ‘Mine is
the true religion; yours isn’t true,’ where does that lead? Where?” the pope asked.
“ALL RELIGIONS ARE A PATH TO REACH GOD,” HE STATED. “THEY ARE, TO USE A
COMPARISON, LIKE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, DIFFERENT DIALECTS TO GET
THERE.” “Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian, but they are
different paths. Understood?” he said.
In response, Chaput wrote that such loose comments “can only confuse.”
“CHRISTIANS HOLD THAT JESUS ALONE IS THE PATH TO GOD,” HE SAID. “TO
SUGGEST, IMPLY, OR ALLOW OTHERS TO INFER OTHERWISE IS A FAILURE TO
LOVE.”
“WE ARE CALLED CHRISTIANS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS GOD, THE
SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY,” HE STATED. “FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR
FAITH, FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST WERE UNIQUE AMONG WORLD RELIGIONS
BECAUSE THEY ACCEPTED AS TRUE CHRIST’S EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM THAT HE IS
GOD.”
“CHRISTIANS HAVE ALSO ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THIS REALITY MAKES
CHRISTIANITY CATEGORICALLY DISTINCT FROM ALL OTHER RELIGIONS, AND IN
TURN REQUIRES A TOTAL COMMITMENT OF OUR LIVES,” he added.
87 | P a g e
THE ARCHBISHOP ALSO REMINDED THE POPE OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH
THE FAITH CLEARLY.
The pope “is the spiritual and institutional head of the Catholic Church worldwide,”
Chaput wrote. “This means, among other things, that he has the duty to teach the
faith clearly and preach it evangelically.”
“SIMPLY PUT: NOT ALL RELIGIONS SEEK THE SAME GOD, AND SOME RELIGIONS
ARE BOTH WRONG AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, MATERIALLY AND
SPIRITUALLY,” he wrote.
88 | P a g e
Chaput’s words echoed those of Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI,
who also WARNED ABOUT TREATING ALL RELIGIONS AS EQUALS.
Before becoming pope, Ratzinger wrote on the differences between religions,
noting that “anyone who sees in the religions of the world only reprehensible
superstition is wrong,” but, also, “ANYONE WHO WANTS ONLY TO GIVE A
POSITIVE EVALUATION OF ALL RELIGIONS… IS EQUALLY WRONG.”
In his own critical considerations of religions, Ratzinger wrote with brutal honesty,
observing that THERE ARE “DEVIANT, ESOTERIC FORMS OF RELIGION ON OFFER”
AS WELL AS “PATHOLOGICAL” FORMS OF RELIGION. HE WROTE OF RELIGIONS
THAT ARE “OBVIOUSLY SICK” AND RELIGIONS THAT ARE “DESTRUCTIVE FOR
MAN.”
He asserted, moreover, that WITH THE DETACHMENT OF RELIGION FROM
REASON, “PATHOLOGICAL FORMS OF RELIGION ARE CONSTANTLY INCREASING.”

43. SEVEN-FOLD REFERENCE TO LAKE OF FIRE
JUDGEMENT:
1. “He that hath an ear, let hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of THE SECOND DEATH (LAKE OF FIRE).” (Rev.
2:11).
2. “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he SHALL BE TORMENTED
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
and ever; and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image, and whosover receiveth the mark of his name.” (Rev. 14:10-11).
3. “And THE BEAST was taken, and with him THE FALSE PROPHET that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark
of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These BOTH WERE CAST
ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.” (Rev. 19:20).
4. “And the devil that deceived them was cast into THE LAKE OF FIRE AND
BRIMSTONE, WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever.” (Rev. 20:10).
5. “And death and hell were cast into THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND
DEATH.” (Rev. 20:14).
6. “And whosover was not found written in the book of life WAS CAST INTO THE
LAKE OF FIRE.” (Rev. 20:15).
7. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE
SECOND DEATH.” (Rev. 21:8).
The lake of fire is also known as the ‘second death’. This is the final place of burning,
everlasting torment for Satan, the antichrist, the false prophet and those un-saved,
un-believing souls from throughout the ages found NOT to be in the book of life, at
the white throne judgement, at the end of the Millennium. The lake of fire and
second death are also reserved for those deceived during the Tribulation who took
the mark of the beast and worshipped him and his image.
92 | P a g e
The evil dead are resurrected to be judged by Christ for their evil works and for
their rejection of Him who offered himself for their salvation and forgiveness of
their sins. As a result of their sins and judgment, they are cast into the lake of fire
that represents a second death (the first death being physical body death and
souls/spirits being in Hell). The evil dead are resurrected into bodies and cast into
the lake of fire to be severely tormented, having no rest day or night, and are absent
from a loving God and their Savior who offered himself for them.
THE GREAT IRONY IS THAT THESE PEOPLE RECEIVED EXACTLY WHAT THEY
WANTED. THEY REFUSED CHRIST AND WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, THEY
WANTED TO EXIST IN ETERNITY WITHOUT COMMUNION WITH GOD AND CHRIST,
ON THEIR OWN TERMS. THEY LITERALLY RECEIVED WHAT THEY ASKED FOR. THE
STENCH OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TORMENT RISES UP IN SMOKE, FOR
ETERNITY.
God made both man and angels as eternal beings, hence they will exist forever in
one state or another. Which state will any of us choose to exist in? The choice is up
to us, and God grants us the freedom to make that choice for ourselves. For better
or worse, we have no one to blame (certainly not God) except ourselves for
whatever choices we make on earth.
