\"\"<\/a>Your Eminence,<\/p>\n

You are right that one cannot generalize and accuse all priests for the crime of one clergyman. You are right, too, that sexual abuse has nothing to do with celibacy. In Your commentary (\u201cNothing is going to be made better by denying the facts\u201d<\/em>), however, You do not mention the true cause of homosexual crimes. The cause is heresies and neopaganism (cf. Rom 1).<\/p>\n

We quote from Your commentary: \u201cWhen a clergyman commits the crime of sexual abuse of an adolescent, the ideologues are not hesitant to accuse priests in general or \u2018the\u2019 Church \u2013 as they say \u2013 in a theologically uninformed way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Response: The root of homosexuality is theologically explained in the Letter to the Romans (1:25-26): \u201cThey exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator\u2026 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. \u2026 men abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In short: Heresies + neopaganism = homosexuality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heresies<\/strong>: Vatican II was silent on the heresies of Neomodernism, and thus de facto approved them. Heresies soon penetrated into all theological faculties. They gradually \u201cexchanged the truth of God for a lie<\/u>\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Neopaganism<\/strong>: Nostra Aetate (1965) + Assisi (1986\u2026) opened the door of the Church to paganism which \u201cworships and serves created things rather than the Creator<\/u>\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The fruit is God\u2019s punishment: the mass spread of homosexuality!<\/strong> The Church rejected true repentance of the sins against the First Commandment, i.e. of heresies and idolatry. This apostate Church is to blame for priests, bishops and cardinals sliding into homosexuality<\/u>. A future priest in the seminary is nourished on heresies and a so-called regard for paganism, and he cannot take holy orders if he is opposed to heresies. How could such a priest defend orthodox doctrine and God\u2019s law, all the more so if the head of the Church kisses the feet of transsexuals, confidently tells heresies to the victims of homosexual abuse (\u201cGod made you like this. God loves you like this, and therefore you should love yourself.\u201d<\/em>) and at the same time covers up homosexual crimes? Now if one publicly exposes these crimes and demands the removal of the homosexual network in the highest positions, one is called by him the devil.<\/p>\n

Without the Church\u2019s true repentance in the matters of faith, moral perversion will never be uprooted!<\/u><\/p>\n

Quote: \u201cOne may not unload the very personal guilt of the offender onto the circumstances or to \u2018the\u2019 society\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Response: A new phenomenon has emerged: children (8-15 years) abuse children (4-8 years). 40,000 such cases were reported in the UK in 2018. 2626 cases even happened at school. Who is to blame? Children? Or the society which has introduced so-called sexual education and leads children towards perverse behaviour in gender courses and trainings, starting from kindergartens? This society, which in Your view is not guilty, follows the instructions of the Ministries and the UN and adopts laws which compel parents to demoralize their own children by onanism since their earliest childhood. The parents who reject it are accused of violating the rights of the child and threatened with the removal of the child. Such a society is fully responsible for moral crimes!<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the main blame lies with the Church which has betrayed its mission and refuses to repent!<\/strong><\/p>\n
