On the Declaration Fiducia Supplicans
The Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer stands with Cardinal Müller, the bishops of Malawi, Kazakhstan, Zambia and Nigeria, with Archbishop Viganò, Bishop Strickland and all bishops, priests and faithful who recognise that the priestly blessing of couples in "irregular relationships" and the blessing of "homosexual couples" is opposed to Catholic Faith and Morals; opposed to the teaching of the Church for the last two thousand years; and must be opposed by us and by all Catholics.
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’ They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2357). Because Carnal union is morally legitimate only when a definitive community of life between a man and woman has been established (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2391).
Our Lady made known to the world at La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima and Akita that Our Lord is already too much offended. The Declaration Fiducia Supplicans, published in these days before Christmas is deeply offensive to Our Lord. Published as it was on the feast of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, it comes as a bitter sword of sorrow thrust into Her Immaculate Heart.
We must love the sinner, and we do love sinners most sincerely, but we must hate sin, and we must uphold the Church's constant and unchangeable teaching both in faith and morals. There is room for everyone in the Church. Jesus unites us all to Himself, by washing us in His Precious Blood, through the Sacrament of Confession. This is the Sacrament where we receive the blessing of truth and mercy, peace and true love.
