It’s being reported that Pope Leo XIV has now affirmed that the family is “founded upon a stable union between a man and a woman.”
We hear that and think nothing of it because it’s absolutely true, and we believe in this truth created by God himself. Also it is part of Catholic teaching.
But the garbage media sees it and they must report on it, because it’s not what they believe.
NBC News reports:
Pope Leo XIV affirmed Friday that the family is founded on the “stable union between a man and a woman,” and that the unborn and elderly enjoy dignity as God’s creatures, articulating clear Catholic teaching on marriage and abortion at the start of his pontificate.
Leo, the first American pope, also called for reviving multilateral diplomacy and promoting dialogue between religions in the search for peace, in his first meeting with the Vatican diplomatic corps. The audience was private, but the Vatican released Leo’s prepared text and that of the dean of the diplomatic corps.
The encounter is one of the protocol requirements after a conclave, allowing a new pope to greet representatives of world governments ahead of his formal installation Mass this Sunday. The Holy See is a sovereign state under international law, has diplomatic relations with over 180 countries and enjoys observer status at the United Nations.
Leo, a member of the Augustinian religious order, has emphasized peace as a priority of his pontificate, from the first words he uttered on the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica after his May 8 election, “Peace be with you all.”
He said it was up to governments to build peaceful societies “above all by investing in the family, founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman.”
“In addition, no one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike,” he said.
As the then-head of the Augustinian order, the Rev. Robert Prevost in 2012 criticized the “homosexual lifestyle” and the role of mass media in promoting acceptance of same-sex relationships that conflicted with Catholic doctrine. A decade later, during Francis’ pontificate, he acknowledged Francis’ call for a more inclusive church, and said he didn’t want people excluded just on the basis of their lifestyle.
He wasn’t even saying this as a commentary on the alphabet mafia and their disordered agenda. He was talking about governments creating peaceful societies. Which I think adds an extra layer of goodness to this, because he’s saying that peaceful societies are those where we have stable unions between a man and a woman.
Yes, I think I like where he’s going already, especially now that he’s pope and isn’t subject to Francis any longer. Habemus Papam!
