Sometimes the hubris and hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic Church is so stunning that it makes one gasp. Here's an institution that has been documented to have systematically enabled and covered up the rape of hundreds of thousands of children and youths worldwide, yet the top Catholic cleric in Argentina, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, has the nerve to condemn gays and same sex marriage as "a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God." Frankly, if anyone is in the business of confusing and deceiving the children of God, it would appear to be the good cardinal and his fellow liars and hypocrites in the Catholic Church hierarchy. I suggest that Cardinal Bergoglio take a long look at himself in the mirror if he wants to see the face of the "Father of Lies." Life Site News has coverage of the deceitful and himself morally changed verbal diarrhea. Here are some highlights:*
Argentina's number one Catholic prelate, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, is calling upon the priests of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires to bring their flocks to an upcoming protest against homosexual "marriage," which is currently under consideration by the nation's senate.
"*Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God," writes Bergoglio in a letter sent to the monasteries of Buenos Aires, where he is archbishop. "We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."
*
To the clergy of the parishes, Bergoglio requests that all of them read from the pulpits a declaration defending the true definition and understanding of marriage.
*
"The Argentinean people will have to confront, in the coming weeks, a situation whose result could gravely injure the family. We are speaking of a bill regarding marriage between people of the same sex," a bill that calls into question "the identity, and the survival of the family: father, mother, and children." The latter, warns Bergoglio, might also be threatened by homosexual adoption, which would be a true form of discrimination.
*
The country now needs "the special assistance of the Holy Spirit, to place the light of truth in the middle of the darkness of error, to defend us against the enchantment of so many sophistries with which they seek to justify this bill," he writes.
*
Again, if anything is a threat to children, it would seem to be the Catholic Church and its morally bankrupt clergy, not a loving same sex couple being afforded civil law rights. Why does anyone continue to listen to the Church and its child predator clerics?
