Dear @Pontifex: We humbly request that you discipline Fr @JamesMartinSJ for leading so many Catholics astray. While he claims obedience to the Magisterium, Fr. Martin speaks with a forked tongue, and at times lets slip his true intentions.

My patron saint, St. Joan of Arc was excommunicated, burned at the stake, and later canonized a Saint. Proof that the Church can make errors in judgment. St. Joan of Arc, pray for us!
El islam tiene problemas con los gays, los judíos, los cristianos, los budistas, los hindúes, las mujeres, los ateos, el alcohol, el tocino y los perros.
Pero si yo tengo un problema con el islam, ¿soy yo el intolerante y el islamófobo? ¿Te das cuenta de lo absurdo que es?
@FrMatthewLC Agreed. I’m not justifying the consecrations. I’m just saying that insufficient actions on other issues will cause Catholics to lose trust.
I think one of the main reasons why some Catholics are shocked by the SSPX excommunications is because in our current day, ecclesial punishment seems to go only one way. Yes, the consecrations against papal approval were a schismatic act, and the punishment is deserved.
But this upcoming Sunday, you could essentially attend a “Pride Mass” (like this one pictured below, from last Sunday) and not face any penalties. You can advocate for women’s ordination, publicly dissent from Catholic teaching on contraception (see Fordham University’s president), or be a pro-abortion politician (Biden)—and you remain in “full communion”.
I’ll leave it to the canon lawyers to figure out legal minutiae. But the fact is, on the ground, faithful Catholics see a ridiculous double standard. You can “bless” a same-sex partnership during Mass (pictured below, at London’s Holy Apostles Church), and remain a priest in good standing. You can doubt the existence of Satan (see the Superior General of the Jesuits), and publicly dissent against revealed truths, and still not be excommunicated.
This isn’t “whataboutism”. This is an attempt to examine the basic principles by which the Church condemns dissent and rebellion. If those principles aren’t applied evenly and consistently, don’t expect the Catholic faithful to trust the Church’s leadership on crime and punishment.
So we know that Rome knows how to do excommunications still. Not saying don't use it for a certain group who did something that deserved it but don't be hypocritical and allow types like Fr Martin to promote sodomy and other groups to get away with their nutty stuff too. Dish it out, fine but be consistent too. You can use the E word more times than 1. Don't need to 'buy a vowel' for it

My baby boy got his tonsils out this morning, and I'd appreciate any prayers you can spare for a speedy recovery. He's a sensitive little guy, and I have a feeling it's going to be a rough couple days.
🚨 BOOM! An American tells Nick Shirley exactly why he bought a pig in Texas to oppose the Islamic takeover of his home
“I’m here because this is my home. These people just recently came here and they want to take over.”
“They’ve already built a Muslim only town. Now they want to expand it into a Muslim only city and take over big parts of Texas.”
“I’m not okay with that. They lie to our faces.”
“There’s a reason they change the laws, change the street names, and push you out. It’s because they’re trying to take over. They’re literally commanded to take over.”
Say it louder. Americans are DONE being displaced in their own country.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING!
The Vatican drops the hammer:
• The four new SSPX bishops, along with the two SSPX bishops who consecrated them, are excommunicated.
• All SSPX priests are declared "in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics."
• All lay faithful "who formally adhere to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are to be considered schismatics and excommunicated."
• SSPX confessions and marriages are declared invalid.
Pray and fast for reconciliation.
The idea that a pregnant woman from Guatemala can sprint across the US border, have the baby 30 minutes after arriving here, and the baby is magically a citizen of the US, is one of the most retarded and indefensible notions ever conceived
Today I’ll work a 9-hour day to pay for illegals to have free housing and healthcare. Most of my paycheck will go to taxes , my inflated mortgage and my insanely high health insurance costs—my taxes will fund fraud, global communism, and illegal border hoppers. I’ll put away a measly amount so my children can hope to one day afford college, while the illegals who just showed up here will go for free. My American children will be paying loans well into their 30s while they compete with debt-free foreign invaders for a low-paying job outside their degree.
This is the new American dream brought to us by criminal politicians and corrupt judges. 🇺🇸 🆘
