Dutch cardinal says papal encyclical on gender theory might be needed

[benjohnson]

The Church has been quite clear as of late about these topics.

Praise be to God for the stalwart teaching of the Catholic church.

You have no idea how much comfort to us confessional Lutherans that there are other Christians that proclaim the gospel to the world.

This seems very harsh and simply out of the question. What “ecclesiastical discipline” do you mean? “Get with the program or get off the ship?” You don’t want the Church to be inclusive? So, those signs that say “all are welcome” are just false? Do you want a small cadre of “true believers” and everyone who doesn’t toe the line in every particular out? Isn’t it the office of the Church to teach, not exclude? I appreciate the frustration, but tossing people out doesn’t seem like an effective response. It is very perilous to draw lines and put people to a choice. They might just leave and not come back.

The purpose of the church is to show us how to get to heaven, and Jesus told us that we must be perfect. So then we need to stop sinning, and if that means that we must be told when we are doing something wrong then so be it. We are in this to achieve holiness.

Gender theory does seem to be quite an influential and controversial ideology.

I’d love to read a pope Francis encyclical on this.

another rotten fruit from the tree of secular humanism.
