Just some news from around the world.
There is currently a rebellion going on against Pope Francis. Some say, it will cause a schism in the Catholic Church:
A group of 90 Catholic clergymen, scholars and authors have published
a joint letter to "all Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church,"
urging them to oppose a Vatican document approved by Pope Francis that allows priests to bless same-sex couples for the first time.
In
the letter, the Catholic conservatives say that Fiducia Supplicans, a
Vatican doctrine released on December 18 and signed by the Pope, would
lead to the blessing of "objectively sinful" relationships. They add
that the cardinals and bishops should "forbid immediately the
application of this document in your diocese" and "ask directly the Pope
to urgently withdraw this unfortunate document, which is in
contradiction with both Scripture and the universal and uninterrupted
Tradition of the Church."
Some Catholic priests went so far as to film themselves praying for the Pope to die and laughing about it:
A group of ultra-conservative priests from Spain and Latin America have been forced to apologise for saying they wished the Pope would die “as soon as possible”.
The
comment was made during a filmed chat between members of a group called
The Sacristy of the Vendée, which describes itself as “a
counter-revolutionary priestly gathering”.
In it, Gabriel Calvo
Zarraute, a priest from Toledo says: “I also pray a lot for the Pope, so
that he can go to heaven as soon as possible.”
Another priest then also expresses his support for the Pope’s quick death, with other participants laughing at the comments.
The video was posted online and has had more than 60,000 views.
Not only priests, but also some high ranking military officers appear to be upset by the current state of things in the West. Italy suspended an army general for writing a politically incorrect book:
ROME, Feb 28 (Reuters) - An Italian army general reprimanded by the defence minister for publishing a book disparaging LGBT people, migrants, minorities and feminists has been
suspended from duty for 11 months, his lawyer said on Wednesday...The book says homosexual men are not normal and claims there is an
"international gay lobby" trying to brainwash the world. It also appears
to question whether Black people can be Italian, referring to Paola
Egonu, an Italian volleyball international born in Italy to Nigerian
parents.
Well, I don't know about Nigeria, but in Ghana they don't care about "rules based world order'' any more:
Ghana's parliament passed a bill on Wednesday that further clamps down on the rights of LGBTQ people in the West African country.
The "Human Sexual Rights and Family Values" bill enjoys support from a
majority of lawmakers in Accra and has been sponsored by a coalition of
Christian, Muslim, and Ghanaian traditional leaders.
Same-sex intercourse in Ghana was already punishable by up to three
years in prison, but while discrimination against LGBTQ people is
common, no one has ever been prosecuted under the colonial-era law.
The new bill, commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill, now also
imposes a prison sentence of up to five years for the "wilful promotion,
sponsorship, or support of LGBTQ+ activities."
Meanwhile in the USA progressives are upset about the pastor who won the Republican primary for governor of North Carolina. He is considered controversial because in a "fiery speech" he declared that there are "but two genders":
Robinson faces off against NC Attorney General Josh Stein, who
won the Democratic nod Tuesday, and would become North Carolina's first
Jewish Governor. Stein and Robinson will compete to replace
term-limited Gov. Roy Cooper.
"Robinson is an abortion-banning,
election denying, social media conspiracy theorist and come November
every voter in the state will know exactly who the real Mark Robinson
is," texted Morgan Jackson, a senior Stein adviser, to Politico.
Robinson, meanwhile, is on a quest to defend America against people "who want to destroy it."
