Alleged Catholic charities: Compromising with the Devil.

This is from American Life League who is part of Reform Campaign for Human Development Now.

"Don't let your money work against the Church." 

Our Lady, who appeared in Akita, Japan in 1973, the same year Roe VS Wade because law, has chilling words for us.

 

 

 

"As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity.

It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful.

The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.

Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests."

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops.

The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.

"The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them." 

Our Lady of Akita.  1973

Cardinal George, CCHD withdraw support after immigrant coalition backs same-sex marriage

This article connects us because we are embroiled as our former Archbishop, now Cardinal George, is with the same type of  Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) groups in Oregon.

The questions arise in the Archdiocese of Portland with the groups that were chosen for Oregon Catholics year after year having connections that are anti-Catholic.  Fungible funding using money donated for a "good" thing, frees up more money to be used for "bad" things.

Catholic collection plate money supplies salaries and CCHD donations challenge justice.

Cardinal Francis George of Chicago has defended the Catholic Campaign for Human Development’s decision to cease to fund the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) after the group announced its support for same-sex marriage, a Chicago news radio station reported.

After several local politicians condemned the decision in a half-page newspaper advertisement, Cardinal George issued a response.

“Donors to the CCHD give to this anti-poverty organization with the understanding that their money will be passed on to organizations that respect the teachings of the Catholic faith,” he said. “Organizations that apply for funds do so agreeing to this condition. On May 23, the ICIRR board broke faith with its member organizations when it publicly supported so called ‘same-sex marriage.’”

“For its own political advantage, it introduced a matter extraneous to its own purpose and betrayed its own members, who were not consulted,” he continued. “The CCHD had no choice but to respect the unilateral decision of the ICIRR board that effectively cut off funding from groups that remain affiliated with ICIRR. Without betraying its donors or the Catholic faith, the Catholic Church’s long-standing work for immigrant groups and for immigration reform remains intact.”

Cardinal George also responded to the politicians’ charge that “Church leaders have decided to use immigrants and those who seek to help them as pawns in a political battle.”

“Because the signers of the letters are Catholic, they know that in a few years, like each of us, they will stand before this same Christ to give an account of their stewardship,” said Cardinal George. “Jesus is merciful, but he is not stupid; he knows the difference between right and wrong. Manipulating both immigrants and the Church for political advantage is wrong.”

Pope on Gays Drives Media Wild

Bill Donohue, of the Catholic League, comments on media reaction to remarks made by Pope Francis on homosexual priests:

The pope speaks about materialism for one straight week in Brazil before millions of people, and his formal comments garner 74 news stories on Lexis-Nexis. 

He speaks off-the-cuff about homosexual priests before a handful of reporters on the airplane going back to Rome and his remarks trigger 220 news stories. One might logically conclude that the pope broke some new ground with his comments on gay priests. But he didn’t.

Wait. Catholic Teaching isn't against being a homosexual, just promoting it?

When asked about homosexual priests, Pope Francis said, “If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?” He added that “The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this orientation….”

Pope Benedict XVI, responding to the homosexual scandal in the Catholic Church (one more time—less than 5 percent of the cases of priestly sexual abuse involved pedophilia), did not make it impossible for gays to enter the priesthood; he simply made it more difficult for those who were practicing gays to enter. Pope Francis said nothing to contradict what his predecessor said. And by addressing the gay lobby, he was clearly speaking out against what the late Father Andrew Greeley called the “lavender mafia.”

About ten years ago, I was interviewed by David France for a book he was writing, Our Fathers, about gays in the Catholic Church. Here is a selection of what I said: “I don’t think most Catholics would care if their priest is gay or straight, to tell the truth. I think the issue for them is whether he can live up to his vow of celibacy. I’d take a chaste gay priest any day over a promiscuous straight one.”

France was ecstatic, much the way reporters are now with the pope. In both instances, their eudemonia is a reflection of the way they stereotype orthodox Catholics.

Portland archdiocese responds to Pope Francis' refusal to judge gay people

Monday morning, Pope Francis made headlines by saying during an in flight press conference that he would not judge gay priests.  Portland's Catholic archbishop, the Most Rev. Alexander K. Sample, was out of town Monday and could not be reached for comment, according to Bud Bunce, a spokesman for the archdiocese. Sample is speaking at a canon law conference in La Crosse, Wis.

Bunce said Pope Francis' remarks should be viewed in context, and they do not represent a change in official Catholic teaching on homosexuality.

First, the context. Bunce said the pope was talking about a Vatican investigation of a monsignor that some had said "had a homosexual lifestyle." Francis said the investigation found no relevant evidence.
"That's how he gets up to the statement," Bunce says. Francis is quoted as saying, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"

"That states the position the church has had for a long time," Bunce says. "It's nothing new."
Official Catholic teaching considers homosexual acts – not people – "intrinsically disordered" and holds that sexual activity between men and women should occur within marriage.

"The catechism of the Catholic Church says everyone should be treated with respect, that no one should be marginalized," Bunce said. "Essentially, that's what Pope Francis is saying."
