THE CURRENT POPE HAS NEVER BEEN SHY ABOUT HIS POSITION ON WELCOMING LGBTQ INTO THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES BIG TENT. NOW THE DISCUSSION FOR SYNOD IS EXTENDED TO 2024 .

The Catholic church is no stranger to controversy over LGBTQ and homosexuality in particular. Class action lawsuits from making their “priesthood” a haven for homosexuals have clearly failed to sober the Vatican from expanding its big tent to be more LGBTQ inclusive as it “discusses the future of the Catholic Church”.

Pope Francis extends synod to 2024, urging participation, patience
The deadline for a large-scale consultation of Catholics on the future of the church has been moved to October 2024.
VATICAN CITY (RNS) — “Pope Francis extended his massive consultation of Catholic faithful around the world by a year, urging patience for the three-year turned four-year process that promises to reform Catholic hierarchies and promote decentralization in the church.
“The fruits of the synodal process that has begun are many, but for them to be fully mature it’s necessary to not be in a hurry,” Pope Francis said during his Angelus address in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday (Oct. 16), following his announcement of the postponement”
VATICAN CITY (RNS) — “Launching the next phase of the Synod on Synodality, a global consultation with Catholics on the future of the church, Vatican prelates on Thursday (Oct. 27) acknowledged the clear call in the first round of reports from the faithful for inclusion of women, LGBTQ individuals and the poor.”
SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THE LGBTQ INCLUSION
“The “synthesis of syntheses” presented at the event has the Bible-inspired title “Grow your tent.”
“In a statement, the Catholic LGBTQ advocacy network New Ways Ministry praised the openness of the “Document for the Continental Phase,” lauding it as “evidence that we are in a new moment of conversation about LGBTQ issues in the Catholic Church.”
“I hope that this first phase will help everyone in the church, without exclusions, because the Holy Spirit can communicate something to the church through anyone,” said Grech at the news conference, adding: “There are some resistances, but it’s OK. Come forward! Let us walk together.”
BUT WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURE ABOUT “WALKING TOGETHER “?
AMOS 3: Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
2 Corinthians 6: 14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what [d]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.
AGREEMENT IS IN THE GLOBAL GOALS
So where is the agreement ? Because every religious group and even the most self professed Biblically conservative movements like Southern Baptist and Presbyterians are all actively working their own “INCLUSION” efforts with in house activist – doubtless somewhere in the globalist planning zone there is agreement .That agreement is that faith groups MUST be led to buy in on their plans for redefining to beliefs and the “role in society” that faiths of all kinds will play in the future.
Wear makes American Christianity out to be problematic .
“American politicians, journalists, and everyday Americans have been free to translate his words to an American context, often according to their own prejudices and preferences.”
DONT FORGET THE INCLUSION MEANS EXPANDING WOMEN’S ROLES.
Only becoming focused on global goals can we escape ourselves …if we follow the Popes lead right?
“Calls for female inclusion in the church have grown stronger in recent years, especially appealing for women to become deacons, who can preach and minister but cannot celebrate Mass. While Francis has created two commissions to discuss the female deaconate, it remains a controversial topic, with critics fearing it will open the door to women becoming priests.”
SO HOW FAR WILL THIS GO?
All the Way to full and total access.
You may say “but I am not Catholic ” . No matter the global goals include all faiths and all Christian faith movements- real or professed.
POPE FRANCIS WAS WELCOMED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
The Gospel Coalition contributor and Obama Faith advisor – now Obama Foundation “Ambassador to America’s Believers ” in 2014 had this to say about Francis coming into power.
He Is the Pope Obama Has Been Waiting For
“A summit is important for the president, Francis, and the American people.”
By Michael Wear
“For the past year, no two living people have had their every utterance parsed for meaning as thoroughly and consistently as President Obama and Pope Francis. This search for meaning will continue Thursday, when Obama makes his second visit as president to the Vatican.
Like any between two powerful heads of state, the meeting is important, but focusing on policy and statecraft risks overlooking key dimensions of this meeting. For the president, the pope, and the American people, this meeting has farther-reaching importance.”
TURNING TO OBAMA FOR A QUOTE AND SOME HISTORY
The president discussed this at the National Prayer Breakfast in February, telling the audience that he was “especially looking forward “ to meeting the pontiff, “whose message about caring for the ‘least of these’ is one that I hope all of us heed … [Francis] inspires us with his words and deeds, his humility, his mercy, and his missionary impulse to serve the cause of social justice.”
CATHOLICS PAID OBAMA’S SALARY AS A “COMMUNITY ORGANIZER”.
“While many Americans know the president worked a community organizer, few know that his salary was paid for by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. As he has said publicly, and as I’ve heard him relate in more private settings many times, it was during that time that he began to understand the role that faith can play not just in the strengthening of communities but in personal lives. His rise in politics was in Chicago, a city with deep Catholic roots where an understanding of the Catholic worldview is helpful, if not necessary, for political success.”
OBAMA IN 2013 “IN HIS OWN WORDS”
“The call to fix what was broken in our world, a call rooted in faith, is what led me just a few years out of college to sign up as a community organizer for a group of churches on the South Side of Chicago. And it was through that experience working with pastors and laypeople trying to heal the wounds of hurting neighborhoods that I came to know Jesus Christ for myself and embrace Him as my lord and savior.”
Though he is not Catholic, the Church is important and personal to him.
SO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION FOCUSED ON THE CHURCH TO PARTNER FOR SOLVING THE WORLDS ILLS.
POPE FRANCIS SIGNED THE VATICAN AND HIS FLOCK ON TO AGENDA 2030 IN 2015
How was the Vatican and in fact all faith communities- including conservative biblical Christians supposed to engage this task? In 2015 Pope Francis made it clear that the plan is to unite faith communities with the globalist “UN Sustainable Development Goals ” and that is exactly what he did. The current push for LGBTQ rights and inclusion – and tagging onto expanding women’s roles in ministry and various other “justice and equity” metrics… make it unanimous that Diversity Equity & Inclusion IS THE CHURCHES FUTURE NO MATTER how you define the church…whether it is in the broadest ecumenical sense of the purist Biblical terms of “The called out ones”… no matter your thinking -all leadership look to be buying in or have already chosen for you.
SOURCE UNITED NATIONS ARCHIVES
“In an address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York today, Pope Francis spoke at length on a range of subjects from equity and the environmental protection to the promotion of the rule of law and eradicating global poverty.”
“In this, the fifth time that a Pope has visited the UN, Pope Francis also highlighted the importance of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, set to be adopted by UN Member States later this morning, and the upcoming climate conference in Paris, and warned that the realities in the Middle East and Africa were grave.”
“I must renew my repeated appeals regarding the painful situation of the entire Middle East, North Africa and other African countries,” said Pope Francis, “These realities should serve as a grave summons to an examination of conscience on the part of those charged with the conduct of international affairs.”
“The Pope also addressed the effects of exclusion and inequality, noting that the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, was an important step forward, adding that he was confident that the December Conference of States Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), widely referred to as COP 21, would secure fundamental and effective agreements.”
CONCLUSION
If you do not think Conservative Biblical movements would ever follow the Vatican into Agenda 2030 read the links below. What is most clear and obvious is that nothing has slowed the rush to apostasy that these goals and global partnerships represent. Thus far there are NO LEADERS crying out about these horrific alignments or calling them out for what they are… the yoking of the Body of Christ with the most hateful forces seeking to destroy it -undermine its mission- buy off its leaders- and make the call to be salt and light -null and void.
