Pope Still Catholic: Francis to Beatify Paul VI!
Ok, everyone, listen up. There is no longer any doubt: Pope Francis is definitely Catholic! And completely orthodox on sexual morality! At the end of the Synod, he will beatify Pope Paul VI, author of Humanae Vitae. This action leaves no doubt at all where the Holy Father stands. He absolutely does not have to beatify Paul VI. His doing so will be a major-league thorn in the side to the self-styled “progressives” and “reformers.” He is “sealing the deal” on Church teaching on contraception by beatifying Paul VI.
Besides all that, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI attended the ceremony. The liberal world loves to hate Benedict, and has tried to create a “narrative” which opposes the “good guy” Francis to the “bad guy” Benedict. Actually, they are on the same team. They may be playing “good cop, bad cop” as a strategy, as parents must sometimes do with recalcitrant children. But there is no doubt at all that these Holy Fathers are united.
People, do not allow yourself to be triangulated by media games pitting Pope Emeritus against the current Pope. Do not allow yourself to be sucked into the liberal spin machine vortex, by repeating their narrative. They have enough outlets for telling their story, don’t you think?
Get behind Pope Francis. Spread this word as far as you can, in as positive a manner as you can. Church teaching is not changing. We still believe that human sexuality is a great gift from God, that it is deeply meaningful, and that we are not to demean that act by deliberately separating the unitive and the procreative aspects of the sexual act.
Thank the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that we will continue to witness to this beautiful truth, when all the world is teaching the opposite: “A good society must strive to separate sex from procreation and both from marriage. Sex has no intrinsic meaning, only the meaning we happen to assign to it. We ourselves are nothing but meaningless atoms, bumping into each other at random in the cosmos, for no particular reason at all.”
If you have a Facebook page, you are a member of the New Media. If you have a blog, you are a member of the New Media. Use your microphone to make it clear: the Catholic Church will not be changing its doctrine on sexual morality. If Francis had plans to do so, there is simply no way he would even mention the prophetic voice of Paul VI, much less take steps to canonize him.
BTW, if you are not sure whether Paul VI was prophetic, read paragraph 17 of Humanae Vitae. Think about the “one child” policy in China, and realize that Paul VI predicted this type of human rights abuse in 1968.
