Vatican Fires High-Ranking Flimsy

Today's Lesson: Don't be a Romosexual.

The Vatican continues having problems dealing with the question of sodomites within its own ranks. This problem is not likely to go away anytime soon for them either.

Recently, the Vatican confirmed that a high-ranking Romanist priest, who worked in the department in charge of clergy around the world, has been suspended. He had appeared on Italian TV earlier this month admitting he was gay.

The BBC News Service says of him:

"The unnamed prelate or monsignor was suspended pending further investigations, said chief Vatican spokesman Father Frederico Lombari. Monsignor is the title normally given to senior Vatican officials. Father Lombardi said that although the case was being treated as confidential, the priest had clearly acted in a way that was incompatible with his status inside the world headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.

"The unnamed prelate appears to have acted ingenuously by appearing on an investigative programme about gay priests on an Italian commercial TV channel."

Here is a fairly succinct description of the Vatican's problem. On the one hand, they acknowledge the obvious fact that the Bible -- from cover to cover -- dencounces Sodomy as a sin worthy of death or capital crime (Leviticus 18; 20; Romans 1, 1Cor. 6, etc). They also know this from the light of nature, since the dominion mandate -- be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it -- was a command given to a married man and woman, which couple the Bible tells us -- covenantally represents ALL men and women (in the state of marriage).

When asked about marriage and divorce, the Lord Jesus therefore appealed to the early chapters of Genesis describing their union as normative for all men and women of all times.

The Vatican knows this because its priests can read. On the other hand, they forbid their priests to marry, requiring them to defy the dominion mandate in an unnatural state of celibacy, which tends toward the very perversion they decry. In other words, the unnatural vow of celibacy Rome requires leads to the sexual perversions they condemn.

This is why you find an unusually high number of sodomites and pedophiles in Rome's ecclesia. Apparently, the can read, but cannot do the ethical math very well. Thus, when Rome fires a priest "for being gay" (which is the propagandists way of saying he chooses to practice perverse sex), they in principle have fired all of Rome together with the priests they "let go" for this perversion, which they -- in effect -- both forbid and require.

Likewise all who "forbid marriage" between men and women, according to what the Bible calls the "doctrines of demons." (1 Tim. 4). Some perversions are so wicked that they show themselves the products not only of the fleshly mind, but of demonic origin as well. This is true for both evil teachings as well as deeds.

Rome's ill-informed love of Mary's alleged "perpetual virginity" -- a Gnostic relic left over from medieval chivalry which never had its origin in Scripture -- together with its vows of celibacy, poverty and silence -- deny the dominion mandate. This is one possible evil response to that mandate, usually called "Escapism." It's alternate -- tyrannical oppression -- forms the other. These tend to go together historicallly, in a kind of "bi-polar tension" exhibited in persons possessed of such perversions.

For example, the wicked Sodomites of Genesis 19 attacked and sought to overthrow the household of Lot -- Nephew of Abraham -- in an effort to satisfy their perverse lusts. Rome likewise has a history of tyrannical oppression of the seed of Abraham -- the faithful of God who resist her false doctrines and practices -- at times torturing them, burning them at the stake, or killing them in all manner of unbiblical fashion.

The Spanish Inquisition is but the tip of the historical iceberg, but the one with which most are familiar, with the possible exception of the Crusades (a series of the goofiest military campaigns ever launched for quite unbiblical reasons over several centuries.).

The biblical manner in which one ought to respond to nature's light (and to the Gospel) consists in judiciously applying the law of God to the circumstances at hand, making a right judgment, based on full knowledge, and not merely on outward appearances. This avoids both escapism and tyranny. But Rome's denial of the biblical doctrine of Sola Scriptura leaves Rome without this option.

So we can look for her continued demise -- for sexual perversion has already cost Rome hundreds of millions in lawsuits even forcing it to sell off land -- at the bar of her own juridical decisions against perverts within her ranks created by the doctrine of demons found at the Vatican. When Rome finally crumbles, we will know who to blame, or else thank -- Rome.
