Francis Doubles Down:
Sodomites ‘Experience the Gift of Love’!

Today, on Mar. 19, 2024, the world is being graced with yet another book by and about the false pope Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’). It is an autobiography the apostate Jesuit put together with the help of Italian Vaticanist Fabio Marchese Ragona.

The title of the book is: Life: My Story Through History. The English-language edition is 240 pages in length and is published by HarperCollins. It has been translated from the original Italian by Aubrey Botsford.

On Mar. 14, the Italian Corriere della Sera had shared advance excerpts from the book, which the international press quickly reported on (example here). In the present post, we will focus mainly on one ‘highlight’ in the autobiography, namely, Francis’ comments on homosexuals.

Aberrosexuals and ‘Experiencing the Gift of Love’

After making clear that there is no such thing as same-sex marriage, Bergoglio emphasizes that civil unions for sodomites are a different matter altogether:

…on this subject I have said on many occasions that it is right that these people who experience the gift of love should have the same legal protections as everyone else. Jesus often met and spent time with people who lived on the margins of society, who lived in the existential peripheries, and that is what the Church should be doing today with members of the LGBTQ+ community, who are often marginalized within the Church: make them feel at home, especially those who have been baptized and are in every respect among God’s people. And those who have not been baptized and would like to be, or who would like to be godfathers or godmothers: let them be welcomed, please; let them follow a careful pathway to personal discernment.

(Antipope Francis, in Life: My Story Through History, Kindle edition, p. 219; underlining added.)

Notice, first of all, how Bergoglio is using the sodomite lobby’s preferred, politically-correct vocabulary: The expression “members of the LGBTQ+ community” makes it all sound so harmless, so morally neutral, so abstract, so far away from what unnatural vice is actually about. In reality we are talking about human beings who are so debauched that they misuse their own (and their partners’) generative faculties and other body parts for the sheer gratification of their unnatural lusts, lusts that completely pervert — in the proper sense of the term, that of turning away from its proper end — the purpose for which God created these faculties to begin with.

With regard to Francis’ support of civil union laws for sodomites, this is vile but it is old news. He had indeed lobbied for that back in Buenos Aires and has continued this support even as ‘Pope’:

• False Pope calls for Sodomite Civil Unions, wants Children of Gay Couples to be Raised in Church
• The Francesco Fiasco: Novus Ordo Land reels from ‘Papal’ Comments on Sodomite Civil Unions

The really newsworthy part in the above quote from Life is Francis’ calling of aberrosexuals “people who experience the gift of love”! This is arguably a new low for the pretend-pontiff, who just a few weeks ago had reached a milestone by nonchalantly referring to sodomite couples as “two people who love each other”.

If one can so easily recast these grave moral crimes — for which God once destroyed entire cities (see Gen 19; Jude 7) — as simply “two people who love each other” or “people who experience the gift of love”, what would distinguish them from the married who truly and properly love each other and therefore confine their sexual activity to holy wedlock and keep the expression of their rightly-ordered affections within the bounds of God’s Law?

Unfortunately, one must also ask: If sodomites, transsexuals, and who-knows-what-else can be thought of as two people experiencing the gift of love, why not also three or four — or eighteen? Why could only two make for genuine ‘love’, and why are there all these other ‘unloving’ and ‘discriminatory’ restrictions, such as those pertaining to age, state of vitality, or species? Where does this infernal madness stop?

Once that genie of sexual perversion is out of the bottle, there is no way to get it back in. The sodomite lobby knows it, and that is how they have been successful in continually adding more and more letters to what once started out as simply ‘LGBT’ in the 1990s. Once the pleasure that is intrinsically associated with human sexuality is isolated and separated from its primary natural purpose — the begetting of children — it becomes a free-for-all. There is simply no reason why some perversion should be morally licit and socially celebrated while at the same time other perversions should still be considered immoral and outlawed. It all stands or falls together.

Bergoglio vs. Divine Revelation

But let us contrast these oh-so merciful Bergoglian words about making sodomites “feel at home” directly with what we find in the New Testament. If we combine the divine Words of our Blessed Lord with the divinely-inspired words of St. Paul, a clear picture emerges, and it’s not one too favorable to the false pope’s theology.

We begin with two Gospel passages showing that Our Lord is merciful and kind to sinners so as to preach the Gospel to them and lead them out of their sins to penance, to forgiveness, to amendment of life, and ultimately to eternal salvation in heaven:

And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners? But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

(Matthew 9:10-13)

Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spoke to them this parable, saying: What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing: And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost? I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.

(Luke 15:1-7)

These beautiful words of our loving Savior are fairly well known, but what is not so well known is the ‘other side’ of that coin, namely, the abandonment of mortal sin under pain of damnation and, in some cases, even excommunication from the Church.

Let us consider the following words of St. Paul to the Corinthians (taken from the Mgr. Ronald Knox translation, where they are easier to understand):

Why, there are reports of incontinence [unchastity] among you, and such incontinence as is not practised even among the heathen; a man taking to himself his father’s wife. And you, it seems, have been contumacious over it, instead of deploring it, and expelling the man who has been guilty of such a deed from your company. For myself, though I am not with you in person, I am with you in spirit; and, so present with you, I have already passed sentence on the man who has acted thus.

Call an assembly, at which I will be present in spirit, with all the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, and so, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, hand over the person named to Satan, for the overthrow of his corrupt nature, so that his spirit may find salvation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. This good conceit of yourselves is ill grounded. Have you never been told that a little leaven is enough to leaven the whole batch? Rid yourselves of the leaven which remains over, so that you may be a new mixture, still uncontaminated as you are. Has not Christ been sacrificed for us, our paschal victim? Let us keep the feast, then, not with the leaven of yesterday, that was all vice and mischief, but with unleavened bread, with purity and honesty of intent.

In the letter I wrote to you, I told you to avoid the company of fornicators; not meaning everyone in the world around you who is debauched, or a miser, or an extortioner, or an idolater; to do that, you would have to cut yourselves off from the world altogether. No, my letter meant that if anyone who is counted among the brethren is debauched, or a miser, or an idolater, or bitter of speech, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, you must avoid his company; you must not even sit at table with him. Why should I claim jurisdiction over those who are without? No, it is for you to pass judgement within your own number, leaving God to judge those who are without. Banish, then, the offender from your company.

(1 Corinthians 5; Knox translation)

This biblical passage is much ignored or neglected in our day, and that is quite tragic because it mops the floor with a number of false arguments that are so popular in our day:

The apostle Saint Paul condemns a man guilty of an unspeakable sexual sin, and he upbraids the church in Corinth for not expelling him. In fact, he tells them that they are to carry out the apostle’s sentence against the public sinner, for his own good; so that with the punishment weighing heavily upon him, he might still have some chance to “find salvation”. St. Paul reminds the Corinthians that such expulsions from the Church must take place lest the entire community be corrupted by the “leaven” of those who persist in public mortal sin. He then admonishes them in general not to associate with Catholics who are public sinners. He clarifies that he is not talking about non-Catholics who are public sinners but specifically about those who are part of the Church and already have the Faith, that such must be judged and expelled lest they give scandal and contaminate everyone else.

In this passage we find so many of the Bergoglian sophisms refuted: Far from “welcoming” and “accompanying” a beloved “member of the LGBTQ community”, St. Paul does not ask himself, “Who am I to judge?” but passes sentence and condemns a public sinner for his wicked sexual depravity. The punishment is excommunication, expulsion from the Church of God. Whereas ‘Pope’ Francis reasons that public aberrosexuals ought not to be marginalized because they “have been baptized and are in every respect among God’s people”, the apostle uses the fact of their baptism against them, and the fact that they are members of the Church is for him a problem to be solved precisely by expelling them!

Saint Paul says and does all this not out of hatred but out of true love: love for the innocent who are in need of protection, but also out of love for the offender, for it is hoped that this most severe punishment of being expelled from the Church will bring him back to his senses. St. Paul does not hide behind “We are all sinners” or “Christ ate with sinners”, he instead exhorts his sheep to disassociate from and expel Catholics who are public sinners, even to the point of not eating with them, lest they be corrupted by them. Yes, St. Paul divides, he divides the goat from the sheep — a mere foreshadowing and anticipation of what Christ will do at the Last Judgment. And he does and says all of this out of genuine love for God and for souls! What a refreshing contrast to the insufferable drivel we hear constantly from ‘Pope’ Francis!

Latest case in point: The “shameful affections” and “uncleanness” of “men with men working that which is filthy” (Rom 1:26,24,27) are now being celebrated by the pseudo-pontiff as “experiencing the gift of love”. Let us see, then, what Sacred Scripture says about this:

King David, for example, once experienced the gift of love with Bathsheba (Bethsabee), and she became pregnant. The problem was that she was someone else’s wife. Although David sincerely repented later, God’s punishment was the death of the child that was the fruit of their experience of the gift of love: “…the child that is born to thee, shall surely die” (2 Kings [2 Samuel] 12:14).

The inhabitants of Gomorrah and Sodom also once experienced the gift of love — to such an extent, in fact, that God enhanced their experience with some fireworks: “And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven” (Gen 19:24). And no, the Sodomites and Gomorrhites were not punished for their lack of hospitality, as liberal Novus Ordos like to claim, but for something else: “As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire” (Jude 7).

We should remember, too, that what got St. John the Baptist imprisoned and ultimately murdered is what he said to King Herod concerning the king’s experience of the gift of love: “It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife” (Mk 6:18).

In the Sermon on the Mount, Our Lord Jesus Christ warned us not to allow so much as our eyes to experience the gift of love outside of holy matrimony: “But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell” (Mt 5:28-29).

When our Blessed Lord conversed with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, He upbraided her for having experienced the gift of love fivefold: “The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband: For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly” (Jn 4:17-18).

And of course we all remember what Our Lord said to the woman who was caught in an experience of the gift of love: “Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more” (Jn 8:11).

In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul reflected on how some people experience the gift of love: “…God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error” (Rom 1:26-27).

And in his first letter to the Corinthians, the same St. Paul had a rather negative view of how some of them experienced the gift of love, for he told them: “Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God” (1 Cor 6:9-10).

That is the testimony of divine revelation.

False Pope, False Gospel, False Mercy

All of this ‘merciful’ welcoming and accompaniment Bergoglio keeps trumpeting has a very different goal in mind: to subvert the Catholic doctrine on sexual morality by means of acting contrary to it. Francis knows he doesn’t need to ‘change doctrine’ if he can simply cancel it out through pastoral practice. At the end of the day, what matters is not what is printed in a book somewhere, what matters is what is done by everyone.

To know how true this is, all we need to do is look at what the average Novus Ordo churchgoer believes about the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Why is it that so few believe in Transubstantiation, when this very dogma is contained in the official Novus Ordo Catechism? Because of the New Mass (Novus Ordo Missae) and especially the practice of ‘Communion in the hand’ from lay ‘Eucharistic ministers’. This shows that what is done teaches people much more eloquently than what is acknowledged theoretically in some text, since the doctrine of the Real Presence has remained on the books but was undermined at every step in the practical order.

Ladies and gentlemen, Francis has just doubled down on opening doors even further for sodomites and the entire aberrosexual agenda. In a matter of a few years since the release of Amoris Laetitia in 2016, the Novus Ordo Church under Bergoglio has gone from sodomites being in an ‘irregular situation’ to them ‘loving each other’  and now ‘experiencing the gift of love’. Let us not forget, too, that back in December of 2023, Vatican News had defended the depraved affections and heinous acts of sodomites with the argument that “love is never wrong”!

Even a blind man can see what is happening here. Taking repeated baby steps, little by little the fake pope is doing all he can to normalize sodomy and other grave sins against purity so that ‘Catholicism’ as practiced will no longer be an obstacle to the perverted ‘LGBTQ+-*XYZ’ agenda. If he succeeds in that, it simply will not matter what may still be orthodoxly affirmed in a catechism or an encyclical. Actions speak louder than words, and ‘Pope’ Francis knows it.

Francis euphemistically describes homosexual acts as experiencing the gift of love. But whereas God says that sodomy is so vile it cries to heaven for vengeance (see Gen 19:13), a mere experience of the gift of love would seem to beg heaven for blessings, wouldn’t it?

Ah, what do you know! With Fiducia Supplicans, Bergoglio has already made the necessary arrangements!
