Pope Francis Tells Chilean Man Who Was Raped By Catholic Priest That ‘It’s OK To Be Gay’ In Private Vatican Meeting
God loves gay people and it is fine to be homosexual, Pope Francis has reportedly said. The Pope made the remarks, which went significantly beyond his previous tolerance for homosexuality, during a meeting three weeks ago with a Chilean man who had been sexually abused by Catholic priests.
Pope Francis tells man who was sexually assaulted by Catholic priest that ‘God loves gay people and it is fine to be homosexual’ in closed-door meeting with Juan Carlos Cruz in the Vatican
EDITOR’S NOTE: Hoo boy, where oh where do I even start with this story? In the 1980’s in Chile, Juan Carlos Cruz was repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted by his Catholic priest the Rev. Fernando Karadima. Cruz was by far not the only victim of the pedophile priests at the parish of El Bosque in Santiago, and the assaults were covered up by Bishop Juan Barros, who witnessed it all. Flash-forward to 2015 when Cruz writes a letter to the pope, begging for help, and the pope does nothing. In fact, when asked about it on his trip to Chile back in February, Pope Francis denied ever receiving such a letter, and when an uproar resulted from the Chilean victims, Francis was forced to confess that ‘grave errors’ were made by the Vatican. Hmm…but it amazingly doesn’t end there. Flash-forward to May 2018, and the Catholic priest rape victim who became homosexual after being raped, had a private meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican where Francis told him that ‘being gay is OK’, and that ‘God made you that way’. These are the words of a man who claims to be the ‘vicar of Christ‘, who believes he sits in the place of God on this Earth, according to the official Catholic catechism.
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” Romans 1:26,27 (KJB)
The Pope made the remarks, which went significantly beyond his previous tolerance for homosexuality, during a meeting three weeks ago with a Chilean man who had been sexually abused by Catholic priests.
Pope Francis offered a heartfelt apology to Juan Carlos Cruz, who was a victim of Chile’s most notorious abusive priest, Fernando Karadima. Mr Cruz, who is gay, said the conversation moved on from the abuse crisis to the nature of homosexuality.
“He told me ‘Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like that and he loves you like that and I do not care.
“The Pope loves you as you are, you have to be happy with who you are,’” Mr Cruz told El Pais, the Spanish newspaper. The Pope’s words appeared to go further in terms of tolerance than remarks he made in 2013, when he said of homosexuals “Who am I to judge?”
Speaking to the Vatican press corps on his return to Rome from a trip to Brazil, he said gay people should not be marginalised but rather integrated into society. He was responding to questions about claims of an alleged “gay lobby” of clerics working in the heart of the Vatican.
“If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?” Pope Francis replied.
The Roman Catholic Church insists that while homosexual orientation is not sinful in itself, homosexual acts certainly are because they are “against natural law”. The Pope is not changing official Church teaching, but he is at least signalling a much more open and inclusive approach, which will upset many conservative Catholics.
The Vatican neither confirmed nor denied the comments that Francis reportedly made to Mr Cruz.
“This is not a shift in theological teaching or dogma,” said Robert Mickens, a Vatican expert and the editor of La Croix International, a Catholic publication.
“It was a pastoral response to an individual. The Pope always likes to deal with the individual.” The Pope elaborated on his ‘who am I to judge?’ comment in a recent book by an Italian expert on the Vatican.
Pope Francis accused the victims of the Chilean Catholic priests of ‘slander’ and refused to hear their complaints
The pontiff told him: “I was paraphrasing by heart the catechism of the Catholic Church where it says that these people should be treated with delicacy and not be marginalised.”
He added: “Let us not forget that God loves all his creatures and we are destined to receive his infinite love.”
Mr Cruz was one of three former sex abuse victims from Chile who came to Rome to receive an apology from Pope Francis for the years of abuse that they endured. The victims described clerical sexual abuse as “an epidemic that has destroyed thousands of lives.”
Pope Francis had initially been slow to realise the gravity of the crisis in Chile and even came to the defence of a controversial bishop linked to Father Karadima, the abusive priest.
But he performed an about-turn after Vatican investigators presented him with a 2,300-page dossier showing that sexual abuse of minors had been covered up in Chile for decades, in a pattern that has been repeated in many other countries, notably Ireland.
On Friday, Chile’s 34 bishops offered to resign en masse over the abuse scandal, an act without precedent in the history of the Catholic Church. source

NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: From The Middle East To Drones Over New Jersey, End Times Activity Is Absolutely Off The Charts. Are YOU Paying Attention?
From the drones and UFOs that are plaguing New Jersey to the collapse of Syria in the Middle East, end times activity is off the charts!
I thought we were having a pretty terrific day on Friday when we did on Podcast on the hundreds of sightings of drones and UFOs over New Jersey, and indeed we had lots to talk about concerning the Days of Noah. Then Donald Trump went to meet with Emmanuel Macron in France to be on hand for the reopening of the pagan temple known as Notre Dame, lots of crazy stuff went on there. Then yesterday happened, Syria fell into the hands of ISIS rebels as Israel put tanks into the Golan Heights to defend their border. Now it’s just flat-out end times crazy, and that’s the subject of this Sunday Service.
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” Luke 21:25,26 (KJB)
If you are in the Saint Augustine area, you are invited to come and worship with us at Bethany Baptist Church located in Saint Augustine, Florida. Wednesday night prayer and Bible study from 7:00 – 8:30 PM. and our Sunday Service from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM.
End Times Update December 8th 2024
Drones Over New Jersey: The FBI has been investigating reports of mysterious “car-sized” drones flying across North Jersey at night over the last few weeks. Now, the agency’s asking the public for help. “Unfortunately, we don’t have many answers, and we don’t want to guess or hypothesize about what’s going on,” an FBI spokesperson told NJ.com on Wednesday. “We are doing all we can to figure it out.”
Middle East Battle For Control: As armed rebels have advanced at lightning speed in recent days from the north of Syria toward the capital, Damascus, footage online showed statues of the Assad dynasty — which has kept the country in its authoritarian grip for over 50 years — crashing to the ground. The main regional players — Israel, Iran and Turkey — all have a stake in the outcome, which means that the ripples will affect not just the Middle East, but also global powers like the United States and Russia.
The ‘Arab Spring’ Come Back To Life: Rebel commander Abu Mohammed al-Golani says in a statement read on Syria’s state TV after his forces took over Damascus that there is no room for turning back and the group is determined to continue the path they started in 2011 during the Arab Spring.
“The future is ours,” al-Golani’s statement says.
Israel Seizes Control Of Golan Heights: Yesterday, together with the Minister of Defense and with the full backing of the Cabinet, I instructed the IDF to seize the buffer zone and the strategic positions near it. We will not allow any hostile force to establish a foothold along our border.
Notre Dame Reopens To Global Fanfare: Pope Francis, who didn’t attend the ceremony, sent a message that was read aloud. “May the rebirth of this admirable church constitute a prophetic sign of the renewal of the Church in France,” the pontiff said.
Heading into the talks with Emmanuel Macron, Trump said that “it certainly seemed like the world is going a little crazy right now. And we’ll be talking about that.”
On Saturday, Macron recalled how the world seemed to stop the evening the cathedral burned. People from Rome to Moscow to Times Square in New York were riveted by images of the church’s giant spire becoming engulfed in flames before it suddenly came crashing down. Macron himself visited the charred church that night, moments after firefighters had managed to douse the flames.
“The spire was no more,” Macron said, noting how it fell into the cathedral’s transept, barely missing a statue of the Virgin Mary. “Notre Dame of Paris was saved. Disfigured, but saved by the bravery, the courage of these men.”

In the Midst Of Our Current Campaign To Send Bibles To 12 Different Prisons Comes A Powerful Reminder Of The Meaning Of ‘Just One More Soul’
Thousands of Bibles going out to prisons, and a single KJV dispatched to a young teenage boy sitting in darkness behind steel bars. Just one more soul.
Years ago, NTEB’er Marie Comfort sent us a song the Lord had given her about reaching the lost called ‘Just One More Soul’, and it’s been a staple in our programs ever since. We have it on the NTEB Jukebox on Spotify, and you could say it’s as close to a theme song that we have. Yesterday, I received a phone called from another NTEB’er named JH, with a request for us that brought that song roaring to life once again. In the midst of sending thousands of Bibles out from Florida to Alaska, could we send out just one to a scared teenage boy sitting alone in a prison in Idaho?
“To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.” Job 33:30 (KJB)
JH has been listening to our broadcasts for some years now, and he told me that he goes to church with the boy’s grandmother, how her heart was broken for his situation, and how much she desperately wanted to get him a Bible. His first thought was the Bibles Behind Bars program, and he called me up to see if we could help. We have had no luck in the past with sending a single Bible out to a prison due to the strict regulations placed on incoming packages, but I told him I would try. Long story short, the Lord opened a door through a short series of calls, and permission was given for us to send out a single Ruckman Reference Bible which went out in the mail yesterday. Praise the Lord! In the midst of our sending out a mountain of Bibles to places like the Goose Creek Correctional Center in Alaska, the Indian River Correctional Institute in Florida, and the Craven County Sheriff Detention in North Carolina, a single KJV was dispatched to a young boy sitting in darkness behind steel bars in a prison cell. Just one more soul. That’s what Bibles Behind Bars is truly all about.

Joe Biden Is Now Planning On Issuing Pre-Emptive Pardons For The Myriad Criminals Who Populate His Administration Before Donald Trump Takes Over
President Joe Biden and his senior aides are discussing the idea of issuing pre-emptive pardons for people in his administration who have committed crimes
You knew that Hunter Biden would be let off scot-free, that was obvious after the full-court press enacted by the Biden government in collusion with the media to bury the truth about his hell-filled laptop. But what you were not likely counting on was having the people who control Joe Biden start issuing pre-emptive pardons for the rest of the criminals in his corrupt administration. That would appear to be happening.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
The image you see of Joe Biden in this article is quite telling, as it shows you the used and soon-to-be discarded body of a man who, decades ago, sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for riches and power. No one on Earth believes that Joe Biden has been the president the past four years, no one. Even his most ardent supporters know he is not the power. He has been nothing but the embodiment of Barack Obama’s third term, conducted from the basement as Obama himself has said he would do. Pre-emptive pardons??? That’s Mafia-level stuff, man, that’s those ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ you see in Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution come to life. Joe Biden began his term in controversy and is ending it in the deepest levels of criminal activity and corruption. Good riddance.

Joe Biden weighs pre-emptive pardons for potential targets of Trump’s retribution
FROM NBC NEWS: While the discussions have included certain names, including Senator-elect Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the process hasn’t progressed to the point of consensus on an actual list, sources said.
Some Democrats and “Never Trump” Republicans have supported the notion of pre-emptive pardons to protect people under a new Trump presidency.Politico first reported that Biden was considering taking the action.
While speaking at an event with Tucker Carlson just days before the election, Trump said about Cheney: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine-barrels shooting at her, OK. Let’s see how she feels about it. You know when the guns are trained on her face — you know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building.”
The most corrupt administration in United States history. Joe Biden started in controversy and he is ending in disgrace. 45 more days until Trump sworn in, will anything be left standing? #bidencrimes #Pardons pic.twitter.com/Kjk0PceF2k
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) December 6, 2024
Cheney, a vocal Trump critic, served on the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which exposed Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Schiff also served on that committee and was the lead prosecutor in the first impeachment trial.
Toward the end of the 2024 campaign, Trump said that many Democrats, including Schiff, who will be moving from the House to the Senate in January, were “the enemy from within.” Even during Trump’s first term, he made threatening statements about Schiff, saying that he should be arrested for “treason” and said that he would pay a “price” for his role in the first impeachment against Trump.
As for Fauci, he and Trump did not get along during the president-elect’s first term in the White House as Fauci tried to help lead the federal government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. During that time, Trump publicly attacked Fauci, calling him a “disaster.”
In the Biden White House, there is work being done on the president’s use of clemency authority on criminal justice cases. Advocates, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and civil rights attorney Ben Crump are encouraging the president to act on a variety of cases they say are worthy of clemency. Announcements on those decisions are expected in the coming weeks. READ MORE
