This is NOT Traditional Dogma!

[@DeusVult1190]

A.) The documents: III. 31. *"Blessings of couples* in irregular situations and of couples *of the same s *x."* [So blessings for them is called for]. "Within the horizon outlined here appears the possibility of *blessings for couples* in irregular situations and *for couples of the same s * x."* Heretic "Fr." Martin broke the so-called rules by blessing faux maRRied people as their arrangement goes directly in defiance of Jesus' command in Mt. 19:5-12. If they had stood instead in front of Jesus right after Jesus spoke Mt. 19:5-12 would He have blessed them? B.) Given Martin is a heretic, according to St. Augustine of Hippo, popes in agreement with him, St. Robert Bellarmine, St. Antoninus, St. Francis de Sales, and others, heretics are outside the church and their "blessing" would be of none effect. Faux maRRied people go against Jesus commands in Mt. 19:5-12. A priest, concerning those not faux maRRied, the "couple" would first have to say they repent of what they are doing because Sacred Scripture and 2k years of Tradition working hand-in-hand with Sacred Scripture won't allow otherwise. C.) The church has always taught there must be an intent to change. Thus, the faux maRRied would have to intend to leave that arrangement and the "couple" at the very least would have to intend to live chastely. In the end, there was no need to pivot away from the response to the Dubia in October or Francis' own statements in 2021, and issue FS. A "couple" can come forward, one behind the other, with arms crossed and receive a blessing, so FS is a redundancy allowing photo ops, and Fiducia Supplicans can be shown, both logically and sequentially, to be contradictory, poorly written, and a monumental failure, not just limited in regard to that by the following: In the footnotes for Fiducia Supplicans, Francis almost exclusively cites himself, and in the decisive paragraph 31, there are no citations at all, thus the document is largely bereft of past church rulings to bolster it.

[@chrismejia5438]

No one can change the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to keep our eyes in Jesus Christ, the true religion. Thanks Fr. Chris for always speaking the truth.

[@CatholicNana]

How sad that we have to say that when scripture says that the church is the pillar and foundation of truth. We should be able to look to her (which we can) and her vicar (which we can’t do more often than we can since VII considering what each post conciliar pope has said and done). This pope is confusing the flock and pointing people to hell. A tragedy, for sure, but all we can do is stay faithful and share the truth with the lost inside and outside the one true church Jesus gave us

[@Street-hermit]

​​@@CatholicNanareal I don't understand this pope. Remember this is how he said In March 👇👇 "It is not the first time that I speak of homosexuality and homosexual person. And I want to clarify that it is not a crime, in order to stress that criminalization is neither good nor just." "When I said it is a sin, I was simply referring to Catholic moral teaching which says that every sexual act outside of mariage is a sin. Of course one must consider the circumstances, which may decrease or eliminate fault.

But he is still “pope splaining” Pope Francis meant what he said and be certain, he proofread this letter before sending it out to the world👍 he never once said the word, “repentance”

[@susand3668]

DEar @@Yachtnurse51, as you know, no one can come to repentance without the grace to come. The blessing of individuals in a sinful relationship is oriented towards God *giving* these people that grace which they need. If the word "repentance" does not appear, still, what Fr. Alar read was that people coming to ask for blessings are those who recognize their need for God.

How about when a straight Catholic couple who approaches a priest for a blessing and that couple is cohabitating, not married, fornicating and using contraceptives and have no intention in getting married in the Church? And the priests offers his blessing. How can the priest know unless he asks the Catholic couple?

[@bitcoinmoneybadgers9256]

Thanks for speaking the Truth. The pope is bowing to the pressure of the world, he needs to be guided and prayed for

[@lfrr5109]

We all as Jesus' Church must indeed engage in continuos prayer for the entire church leadership as for our brothers and sisters in Christ, that the Holy Spirit may enlighten us and continue to guide us throughout the patht of righteousness He has traced for us. So we may bear true testimonies of love for others to appreciate and follow. We must stand firm for the truth and for the love to our neighbors, regardless their spiritual condition. We must, with the help of the God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, our Blessed Mother, and all Heavenly Hosts, must provide a solid foundation of truth, love, mercy, and good testimony to all those, who like trepid souls, are heavily confused wandering around life. We must stand firm, pray and do works of mercy to bring them into the abode of the most compasionate Heart of Jesus.

[@happysunnyrain1531]

[@Kiliki1989b]

That's right, Father!!! Authentic Church teaching needs to be CLEAR beyond a doubt!

[@susand3668]

Yes, and I think that Fr. Alar showed that the Declaration IS clear, in spite of his not liking the word "couple." In context, it can mean nothing more than "individual persons in a relationship they must sever." (The document actually *has* to use the word "couple" in order to be clear about what exactly it is referring to!) We all want to live a holier life! Praise God, HE is providing yet another way for us to receive the graces we need!

[@patc4632]

Thank you Fr Alar. God bless and protect you.

[@mercedestopacio7443]

Everyone deserves and needs to get our Lord's blessing. But this document is a lie father. We can turn it into what we want it to be because the devil is at work here and Satan's way is to lie and confuse. Just because they sprinkled it with some good phrases doesn't make this a good order by the Vatican. This was designed to lead people down the wrong path. This will always be same sex blessing and not designed for repentance. But to celebrate unholy union.

[@rh75311]

The definition of “Couple” is: 1.) Two individuals of the same sort considered together. 2.) Two people who are married, engaged, or otherwise closely associated. There is no nuance, the confusion is intentional. Confusion is a tool of the Great Deceiver. The church is fully compromised. The sooner Christians wake up to this reality, the better.

[@christopherreeves5592]

The Catholic Church is the One True Faith. There are many that are trying to dilute, change, and remove certain teachings The Catholic Church has had since Jesus Himself instituted The Church. Protestantism falls into this same vein of well we don't like this, or we don't agree with that, so we'll do our own thing. You don't get to pick what you want or what you like or don't like. Jesus didn't say everything I'm saying is ala carte. I hope you understand what I'm getting at and read the early Church Fathers and see what I mean. This is why the Catholic Church has been attacked since it was instituted from those outside and from some of those inside. Sadly, many have been pandering to this group or that group for years. Speaking The Truth is more loving than making people "feel good" or "comfortable". I've had to do this with many of my family and friends and it is not easy, but it is right and merciful to do so. I won't hold somebody's hand as I walk them to the precipice of Hell just, because I don't want to hurt their feelings or make them uncomfortable. If you truly love somebody you must tell them The Truth and they may not like it, but that is true love. God be with us and let the scales fall from our eyes.

I agree Father I'm a broken tool too . I love the holy Catholic Church I pray for clarity

[@tbong9293]

Thank you Father Chris for explaining this.

Thank God for Father Chris This is the best explanation I've heard . ❤️🙏🙏🇮🇪

Father Chris, thank you for this. You are q voice of reason and comfort suring this utterly confusing time we are in. God bless you in your sevice to others and for taking a strong and firm stance on issues of morality. Everyone ought to take this opportunity to pray the Rosary daily so that the evils of our church and society can be turned around!

[@sradefarras]

I was waiting for your explanation, Father. Thank you

[@adavid1484]

I think the most important is to pray for them

[@rondawa4712]

Thank you, Fr. Chris! You are truly an instrument of God's blessings to His holy church. May God bless you and keep you safe always. 🙏🏽

[@abbyu209]

Thank you Fr. for going over this document.

[@jamesmeyer7034]

Thank you Father. You are the first of a number of priests I watch to say there is a problem with the use of the word couple. If you bless a couple you blessing what ever relationship or union there may be. Thank you for being faithful to Catholic teaching.

[@noemic360]

I agree with you! No body want to see ..where the real problem is!! Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Fr : for being loud and clear !!

[@susand3668]

Dear @jamesmeyer7034, agreed, the word "couple" is troubling. But in context, "blessing a couple" cannot mean the same as "blessing the union of this couple." The use of the word "couple" is necessary in order to avoid people saying "We don't know what you mean! What are you talking about?!" So the document had to be explicit. Everything must be understood *in context*. And the context in this document, beginning, middle, and end, is, as Fr. Alar said, *"The Church CANNOT bless SIN"!*

[@dbf360]

Brilliant from fr Chris. Dead right re the ambiguity. Jimmy Martin is delighted.

Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration in details for The Explanations That We Bless the Sinner but Cannot Bless the Sin by stated the Truth.

[@slohand624]

Thank you Fr Chris! For your insight and clarification of the latest confusion from the Vatican

[@LibertysetsquareJack]

The confusion isn't "from the Vatican": the confusion is being created and sown by others **regards** what has been pronounced by the Holy Father.

[@soniavadnjal7553]

​@@LibertysetsquareJackWhat others? Is this a Vatican doc or not?

[@LibertysetsquareJack]

@@soniavadnjal7553 I'm talking about schismatics, such as sedevacantists, Eastern Orthodox, "Vatican II was heretical"-types, etc.: they're the ones creating confusion. PS: In addition to schismatics and heretics, you also have most all of the secular media, such as ABC News, putting out a false narrative of this document. That should go without saying, because secularists and Protestants are pretty much always mischaracterizing what the Catholic Church teaches (which is why I didn't initially mention that in the original comment), but it seems that many so-called "Traditional Catholics" go to such media sources to get informed as to what Pope Francis pronouces or promulgates, for some weird reason; so it probabaly bears articulating. Anyway, the actual document from the Holy See is, in itself, straightforward and not confusing at all.

[@Romans1.24-27]

The bergoglian gift that keeps on giving: ambiguity, confusion and heresy...ho,ho,ho.. that is Naughty..not nice

[@LibertysetsquareJack]

@@Romans1.24-27 Go to confession and come back into the Church.

[@Trini2DeBone]

Thank you Fr. Chris. The wording of the document from our Holy Father opens the door to ambiguity, confusion and misrepresentation. At least now we can be sure that there are those within the Church that still see and speak the truth to power. God bless you and your ministry!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Well said

[@mistyviolet3825]

This is an excellent thorough explanation! ❤WELL stated and perfect in speed and manner of which it is stated with the proper emphasis on specific words….. you’re the BEST Father Chris Alar! Thank you 🙏🏻 so much for this most important message in these very dark and difficult times…. 😢💔

Fr. Chris we can always here the true Church teaching from you, thank you for your truthfulness and for becoming a Holy and Blessed Priest.

Thank you Father Alar for clearing the confusion. The only right and blessed union is the union of a man and a woman. God Bless 🙏❤️☦️

Good for you Father Chris! What your saying is what is right. God knows our hearts, all of us. Thank you...God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@MWroses]

Pray for priests. Especially for the ones who will be persecuted for not going along with this document. They will be bullied.

[@50toinfinityatleast]

But if you understand it, remember the church does not deny a blessing to someone who truly wants to change. As father said the word couples should not have been used. That implied to some people that the blessing was for the union of sorts, but this is not true. If a priest does not bless , a gay Union, they are not going against this teaching.

[@desmagennis7830]

God bless you father for telling us the TRUTH 🙏!!!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you for being open to the truth and God bless you

[@doowacattack4812]

@@DivineMercy_Official does the blessing include a rebuke and discpleship as true Godly men are supposed to hold the members accoynatvle for their sin. Are homosexual couples who slept in the same bed the night before , then the next day go to the Catholic church, get blessed as individuals but standing together as a homosexual couple and then leaving the church as a homosexual couple, and then go back home to sleep in the same bed as a homosexual couple, with no rebuke or disciplship offered, just a blessing.. Lord have mercy on those who cannot see with their spiritual eyes right now about this.
