God Weighs In

It looks like God has weighed in on Pope Francis having given priests permission to bless homosexual couples!

Multiple journalism outlets have now confirmed internet rumors that on December 17, 2023, lightning struck the statue of St. Peter at Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolas, destroying the statue’s right (blessing) hand and obliterated the key it had been holding.

Read on to learn the significance of this event. Warning: Goosebumps await!

On December 17, 1936, the man we now know as Pope Francis was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and named Jorge Mario Bergoglio. On December 13, 1969, he was ordained a priest in the Jesuit order. From 1973 to 1979, he served as the Provincial Superior for the Society of Jesus (aka, Jesuits). In 1992, he became the Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires. And, in 1998, he became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires. As the map shows, Our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás is located northwest of Buenos Aires, just outside the borders of Archbishop Bergoglio’s former see. (“See” comes from the Latin word sedes, which means “seat” or “chair.”)

In 2001, Pope John Paul II made Archbishop Bergoglio a member of the College of Cardinals, the high ranking group of Catholic prelates whose main job is to elect new popes. After Pope Benedict XVI retired, the college elected Archbishop Bergoglio to replace him. He chose the name Francis and moved to the Vatican.

On December 17, 2023, Pope Francis celebrated his 87th birthday. On December 18, 2023, the Vatican’s office for doctrine published a document entitled “Fiducia Supplicans: On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings.” In it, the pontiff put his rubber stamp on priests blessing same sex couples. The meme above and many of the statements below highlight the duplicitous nature of the document, which attempts to find a distinction between blessing a homosexual couple while somehow not blessing their sinful sexual relationship.

As you can clearly see, the date of the lightning strike and the very specific and highly unlikely damage it did to St. Peter’s blessing hand and key are of tremendous significance. The location of the statue is significant as well. Between 1983 and 1990, Gladys Quiroga de Motta of San Nicolas claimed to receive 68 messages from Jesus and more than 1,800 from His Holy Mother. The uneducated Argentinian wife and mother was born in 1937, not long after Jorge Bergoglio himself.

In 1983, Gladys’ confessor showed her a forgotten Mary statue that had been hidden away in the bell tower of the cathedral church of San Nicolas due to a broken piece. Gladys confirmed it to depict exactly how Our Lady appeared to her. The statue had been brought from Rome to San Nicolas for the cathedral church’s consecration, having been blessed for that purpose by Pope St. Leo XIII.

Pope Leo XIII is, of course, the pontiff who famously received a vision on October 13, 1884, exactly 33 years to the day prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima. The pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel when, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar and stood for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white.

In the vision, Pope Leo XIII said he heard two voices, one a harsh and guttural voice, the other a kind and gentle one. The guttural voice said, “I can destroy your Church.“

The gentle voice replied, “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”

The guttural voice said, “To do so, I need more time and more power.“

The gentle voice asked, “How much time? How much power?”

The guttural voice said, “Seventy-five to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.“

The gentle voice replied, “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”

When Pope Leo XIII came back to himself, he immediately went to his office and composed the famous Prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere. This instruction was carried out faithfully until the post-Vatican II church abandoned it. I think it’s noteworthy that exorcists report that exorcisms, which draw their power from the prayers of the entire church, became much less potent at that time.

In 2016, during the pontificate of Pope Francis, the bishop of San Nicolas declared that Gladys Quiroga de Motta’s visions and messages were “supernatural in character” and “worthy of belief.”

Such claims are studied carefully by the local bishop, who has the authority to condemn or approve them. Approval means the bishop has found no contradictions in the messages with the teachings of the Catholic Church found in scripture, tradition, or morals. It also means that the seer is of stable mind and honest character and that the apparitions exhibit no signs of demonic influence. Before reaching such a weighty conclusion, the local bishop will call on priests, theologians, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

At Our Lady’s request, a new sanctuary was built that could accommodate the thousands of pilgrims who flock to the site where miracles, conversions, and healings occur. The apparitions’ many messages have been published. They are similar to those Our Lady has given at Fatima and elsewhere. Their overarching themes are:

  • That mankind is falling away into sin and corruption, and is “hanging by a thread.”
  • That the majority of mankind is in spiritual darkness of atheism, especially in large cities.
  • That Mary is giving such frequent messages due to the darkness of the times into which we are heading.
  • That these are Advent times, Jesus’ Second Coming is quickly approaching.
  • A plea to prayer and conversion of heart.
  • The role of Mary in salvation history as the Ark of the Covenant and the “woman clothed with the sun” in the book of Revelation.
  • An admonition to pray the rosary faithfully and be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Opposition to “Fiducia Supplicans”

Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia, Charles J. Chaput, says “Fiducia Supplicans” “is not of God.”

The superiors of the American Province of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception have prohibited all ordained members of their religious congregation from blessing couples in irregular unions and same-sex couples, saying that “doing so would condone the relationships.”

Msgr. Charles Pope, pastor of Holy Comforter-St. Cyprian Church in Washington, D.C., sent a letter to his parishioners stating he will not offer blessings of same-sex couples because it would “lead to confusion and scandal among the faithful regarding the Church’s teaching on marriage and sexuality.”

Archbishop Emeritus Héctor Aguer of the Diocese of La Plata, Argentina, says, “Fiducia supplicans should not be obeyed.” Like Pope Francis, Archbishop Aguer was born in Buenos Aires.

Bishop Njiru of the Diocese of Wote, Kenya, has prohibited all clergy in his diocese from blessing same-sex couples, while also urging Catholics to reject in “totality” the Vatican’s recent document approving such blessings.

Reiterating the Church’s constant teaching prohibiting and condemning homosexual acts, the bishops of Cameroon formally banned all blessing of same-sex couples.

The Archbishop of Nairobi published a public letter prohibiting all clergy residing and ministering in the Archdiocese of Nairobi from blessing irregular relationships, unions, or same sex couples.

Proving the “confusion and scandal” statements above

The German bishops are busy preparing a handout for “blessing ceremonies” to give to priests, ignoring the Vatican’s stipulation to the contrary. Birgit Mock, vice president of the Central Committee of German Catholics, is enthused that “a practice that we have had in Germany for many years” has now been “greatly strengthened.” She hopes it will eventually lead to a change in the church’s doctrine on sexual morality.

CINO and presidential wannabe, Chris Christie, cited Fiducia Supplicans in his support for same sex marriage. “Pope Francis is now allowing ‘blessings’ of same-sex couples. … I think I’ve been convinced.”
