Why Rock Star Elton John Blasted The Catholic Church

On Monday, March 15th, 2021, legendary Rock Star Elton John called out the Vatican for hypocrisy and may have exposed more corruption at the Vatican. Elton’s tweet accused the Vatican of being hypocritical after it issued a decree that homosexual unions could not be blessed as they are sinful and sin can never be blessed.

The decree distinguished between the Church’s welcoming and blessing of gay people, which it upheld, but not their unions since any such sacramental recognition could be confused with marriage. It said

God “does not and cannot bless sin: He blesses sinful man, so that he may recognize that he is part of his plan of love and allow himself to be changed by him,”

The decree was issued in response to questions that arose after it was revealed that Pope Francis endorsed giving gay couples legal protections in same-sex unions. Some seemed to think the Pope was giving a back-handed approval of Gay Marriage. His comment, however,  is about the civil sphere, not within the Church. Civil protections are not Church blessings.

The decree said: Blessing a same-sex union could give the impression of a sort of sacramental equivalence to marriage.

Potential Corruption Exposed

Many Catholics may not have been aware that the Vatican is suspected of investing money into the file about Elton John’s rise to stardom and his homosexual lifestyle. The movie included graphic homosexual depictions and was banned from being shown in some parts of the world.

According to Catholic News Agency, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra reported that the Centurion Global Fund had raised around 70 million euro in cash, and that the Holy See’s Secretariat of State was the source of at least two-thirds of the fund’s assets. The Vatican’s investment was reported to include funds from the Peter’s Pence collection, intended to support charitable works and the ministry of the Vatican Curia.

What Did Pope Francis Tell This Famous Hollywood Director?

Famed Hollywood director Martin Scorsese known for movies like Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed, to name just a few, recently asked Pope Francis how older people can help the younger generation cope with cruelty and violence.

The Holy Father gave the director an answer that some might find puzzling. I know I did until I began thinking more deeply.

He answered (in part): “here there is  a word that we must speak: the wisdom of weeping.

Today many of us believe crying is unhealthy, and a sign of emotional weakness. We know however,  that Jesus wept.  Jesus was a compassionate person. Don’t forget that he was totally human and divine. He had human emotions. He wept when Lazarus died. Jesus was a friend of Lazarus so he had deep grief in losing a friend, but he was also weeping for Lazarus’ family. Click here to continue reading other occasions when Jesus wept.

On a spiritual level we know that crying can help us get in touch with our feelings. By crying for suffering and violence that we witness, we can begin to feel it more deeply and not become hardened to it. Holding back tears and feelings of sorrow makes us numb and allows a distance. Crying is cathartic and brings us closer. Then we can begin to help others and find solutions.

From a medical perspective, excessive crying or crying for the wrong reasons may be a sign of trouble. But in general crying is healthy. “Crying activates the body in a healthy way,” says Stephen Sideroff, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at UCLA

They Thought He Would Die But He Didn’t

Perhaps if little Alfie was a refugee, the government might give him more help?

Even though the “Experts” predicted he would die soon after removing life support he kept fighting.

One would think his unexpected ability to breathe would change doctors’ and judges’ minds about their current authoritarian course. But no. The technocracy has ruled that it is in this child’s “best interests” to die now! And so die he will.

 

Did Pope Francis Really Praise Lucifer?

Several videos on YouTube claim that Pope Francis has praised Lucifer as God, just as several videos claimed the same about Pope Benedict XVI during his pontificate. As the theory goes, this is a Vatican-wide (or Catholic Church-wide) conspiracy to praise Satan during the Easter Vigil. Here’s a sample that takes anti-Catholicism to a new low, and many people are falling for it. Read why these people are getting it all wrong…

When properly translated (unlike in the conspiracy videos), it’s clear that the “Lucifer” in question is Jesus Christ. But why call Him that? Because “Lucifer” literally means “light-bearer” (lux is “light,” as you may know from fiat lux, “let there be light”), and it was the term used for the morning star.

As Joby Provido writes, “Light, for example, was always a symbol of God in the Old Testament. When God made his covenant with Abraham, he appeared as a smoking firepot and flaming torch. In Exodus, God revealed himself from a burning bush when he spoke to Moses. When the Israelites left Egypt, a pillar of fire guided and protected them during the night.  In the New Testament, the disciples of Jesus would have understood he claimed to be God when he said, “I am the light of the world.” This became a part of early Christianity that Jesus is called the “morning star.” This is because one of the symbols of God is light – and the brightest light in the sky is the sun – the morning star.”

Did Pope Francis Praise Lucifer?

Several videos on YouTube are claiming that Pope Francis has praised Lucifer as God, just as several YouTube videos claimed the same about Pope Benedict XVI during his pontificate. In fact, as the theory goes, this is a Vatican-wide (or Catholic Church wide) conspiracy to praise Satan during the Easter Vigil.

As Father Louis Campbell succinctly states:

“The word ‘lucifer’, which is used during the lighting of the Paschal Candle on Holy Saturday, refers to Jesus Christ, the Light of the World. It has no connection whatsoever to the devil, who is sometimes called Lucifer. The Holy Week services are exclusively dedicated to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

The devil will do anything to divide followers of Jesus, ANYTHING…

 

“Beware of the devil, who wants an angry, jealous, divided Church. The Holy Spirit unites, makes us focus on Christ“—Pope Francis
