Petitioning Pope Francis to save the family
Hi, I’ve signed a pro-family petition to Pope Francis.
Why?
Because dissident “Catholic” groups, backed up by the big
liberal media, are pressuring the Church to change Its teaching on marriage and
family at the next Synod on the Family in Rome.
In fact, they are bombarding the Pope right now with
messages to "change, change, change" the Church. That's why I'm inviting you to take a stand.... For God and the future of the family:
Your petition will be hand-delivered at the Vatican by a
delegation of concerned Catholic leaders before the next Synod begins. God bless you.
------------------------- Below is the official message
to Pope Francis -------------------------
Holy Father,
In view of the Synod on the family to be held in October
2015, we filially address Your Holiness to express our fears and hopes
regarding the future of the family.
Our fears arise from witnessing a decades-long sexual
revolution promoted by an alliance of powerful organizations, political forces
and the mass media that consistently work against the very existence of the
family as the basic unit of society. Ever since the so-called May 1968
Sorbonne Revolution, a morality opposed to both Divine and natural law has been
gradually and systematically imposed on us so implacably as to make it
possible, for example, to teach the abhorrent "gender theory" to
young children in many countries.
Catholic teaching on the Sixth Commandment of the Law of
God shines like a beacon in the face of this ominous ideological objective.
This beacon attracts many people -- overwhelmed by this hedonistic propaganda
-- to the chaste and fecund family model taught by the Gospel and in accordance
with natural law.
Your Holiness, in light of the information published on
the last Synod, we note with anguish that, for millions of faithful Catholics,
the beacon seems to have dimmed in face of the onslaught of lifestyles spread
by anti-Christian lobbies. In fact, we see widespread confusion arising
from the possibility that a breach has opened within the Church that would
accept adultery -- by permitting divorced and then civilly remarried Catholics
to receive Holy Communion -- and would virtually accept even homosexual unions
when such practices are categorically condemned as being contrary to Divine and
natural law.
Paradoxically, our hope stems from this confusion.
Truly, in these circumstances, a word from Your Holiness is the only way to
clarify the growing confusion amongst the faithful. It would prevent the
very teaching of Jesus Christ from being watered down and would dispel the
darkness looming over our children's future should that beacon no longer light
their way.
Holy Father, we implore You to say this word. We do
so with a heart devoted to all that You are and represent. We do so with
the certainty that Your word will never disassociate pastoral practice from the
teaching bequeathed by Jesus Christ and his vicars -- as this would only add to
the confusion. Indeed Jesus taught us very clearly that there must be
coherence between life and truth (cf. John 14:6-7); and He also warned us that
the only way not to fall is to practice His doctrine (cf. Matt. 7:24-27).
Asking for Your apostolic blessing, we assure You of our
prayers to the Holy Family -- Jesus, Mary and Joseph -- to enlighten Your
Holiness in these crucially important circumstances.
