[Greek] πορνεία (porneia), [Latin] fornicatio, [Latin] prostitutio

[Greek] πορνεία (porneia), [Latin] fornicatio, [Latin] prostitutio: unchastity, dishonoring, profaning, immorality, whoredom, idolatry; 26 scriptures

St. Peter Damian (1007-1072) already saw the problems with immorality, homosexual predatory behavior (grooming), laxity, moral relativity, and silence within the clergy. (Sound familiar?) St. Peter Damian is essentially asking, “IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR TO HAVE GOOD PRIESTS?” 

Background information:

New Testament: This term means unlawful marriage, unchastity, homosexuality, and immorality. Immorality can include fornication, evil, harlotry, and licentiousness.

Scripture:

Unlawful marriage: Mt.5:32, Mt.19:9, Acts 21:25

1. Involves serious sexual sin, incest, adultery, and annulment grounds.
2. Marriages involving Mosaic law violations and sanctions.
3. Jesus’ admonitions apply only to valid marriages.
4. Paul asks Gentiles to abstain from unlawful marriages.

Immorality: Mt.15:19, Cor.5:1, 1Cor.6:13,18, 1Cor.7:2, 2Cor.12:21, Col.3:5, 1Thess.4:3

1. Evil thoughts and deeds, coming inside from the heart, defile the person.
2. There is a need for separation from the unholy.
3. Sexual satisfaction becomes as commonplace as food.
4. The immoral person sins against his own body.
5. One must have an understanding of one’s own limitations.
6. You [Corinth] have not repented of your impurity, immorality, and licentiousness.
7. Put away parts of you that are earthly (worldly).
8. God wills that you refrain from immorality.

Born of fornication: Jn.8:41

1. If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works of Abraham.
2. You are trying to kill me [Jesus] who has told you the truth.
3. You are doing the works of your “worldly” father [the devil].
4. Your father is the father of lies.
5. You do not belong to God (priests and laity prostituting themselves to other idols).

Prostitution in Corinth:

1. Corinth was considered the “Amsterdam of the ancient world”.
2. Aphrodite was the patron goddess of Corinth.
3. Women slaves, prostitutes, and courtesans were sold into prostitution.
4. [Paul]: any woman unveiled brings shame upon her.
5. Adulterous women’s hair was cut short (so others may see their shame).
6. Prostitutes and lesbians were thought to have to short hair.

Church in Pergamum: (Jesus hated the works of the Nicolaitans [Rev.2:6]) 

1. The Nicolaitans practiced a mixture of Christianity, paganism, and the occult (which becomes a mockery of their faith).
2. The Nicolaitans had a shallow “dumbed down” faith.
3. The Nicolaitans practiced eating of meat sacrificed to idols.
4. The Nicolaitans practiced free sexual intercourse.
5. The Nicolaitans followed the doctrine of the cult of Balaam (abortion).
6. The Nicolaitans valued tolerance and compromise.
7. The Modernists and Synodalists have essentially become the new Nicolatians. * see attached post below

The Harlot of Rome (Babylon):

1. The greatest seducer of nations and their kings.
2. The kings of the earth have syncretic “intercourse” with this harlot. (exchanging worldly values and sin with the Church).
3. This harlot is the center of paganism and apostasy from God.
4. This harlot mixed idolatry, lusts, religion, worldly ways, and philosophies
5. Babylon is filled with fornication and pleasures.
6. Babylon is contrasted with the pure community of God.

Rev.14:8: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon, the great that made all nations drink the wine of her licentious passion (fornication).” (This harlot seduces and intoxicates the nations (and leaders) with idolatry, paganism, superstition, worldly ways (human traditions), fornication, and lusts.)

Rev.17:2: “The kings of the earth have intercourse with her, and the inhabitants of the earth became drunk on the wine of her harlotry.” (The kings of the earth commit spiritual adultery with this harlot. The great harlot seduces them with unfaithfulness, idolatry, passions, and corruption.)

Homosexuality (fornication) in the Church:

Who was St. Peter Damian (1007-1072)? He was an Italian cardinal and Doctor of the Church. He had shed a spotlight on the sexual immorality, laxity, clerical homosexuality, and moral relativity among the clergy.

What does St. Peter Damian say about homosexuality in the clergy?

1. Homosexuality is incompatible with the dignity of the priest.
2. There is a correlation between liturgical abuse and an indifference to the moral demands of the gospel.
3. Fundamental disorientation regarding the natural complementarity of the sexes.
4. Devastating psychological and spiritual effects of homosexuality.
5. This can lead to a continuum of sins that depart from the nature of the sexual act.
6. The tendency to recruit others into their lifestyle.

Quotes by St. Peter Damian:

“Sodomy raging like a cruel beast within the sheepfold of Christ” (Peter Damian observed homosexuality rapidly spreading within the clergy.)

“Why do you seek after the height of ecclesiastical dignity with burning passion?” (Peter Damian observed self-seeking promotion of this deviant lifestyle within the clergy.)

“Undoubtedly, those who turn a blind eye to the sins of their subjects that they are obliged to correct.” (Peter Damian observed the secrecy, silence, and lax disclosure of homosexuality within the clergy.)

“If such a priest is barely permitted to enter the church pray, how is it that he can approach the altar to intercede for others” (Peter Damian states homosexuality is deeply related to the dignity of the priest.) Questionable behavior==> questionable priesthood

“What do you seek in a man, that you are unable to find yourself, you seek in vain in another body?” (Peter Damian sees that the priest has a disorientation about the natural complimentarity of the sexes.)

How did Pope Leo IX respond to homosexuality in the priesthood? He approved a canon decreeing excommunication for those guilty of sodomy.

Fr. Heimerl: “Francis’ synodal church is controlled by old homosexual men” **

1. The synodal Church no longer teaches the traditional faith (about homosexuality).
2. The bishops’ failure (silence and cowardice) in criticizing the synodal Church indicates a “new normality.”
3. Where does this silence and indifference come from? From Satan, the father of lies (1Jn.3:8)
4. Fiducia Supplicans: permitting of blessings of “irregular couples” [homosexuals and adulterers]
5. The clergy has historically been infiltrated by homosexuals. Serious estimates: over 60%
6. There is little opposition because the Church has fallen into the hands of older homosexual men.
7. There is now a belief by some people that homosexuality is “willed by God and is by no mean a sin” (This is contrary to Church teachings and very concerning!)
8. The Church is in the Babylonian captivity of homosexual senior clergy.
9. Pope Francis is associating himself with these older homosexual clergy!
10. The workings of Satan has now been exposed [for all to see] in the Church. This is perhaps God’s providence in allowing for a true reform of clergy in the Church.
11. It is now all the more important to listen to voices like Bishop Strickland! (“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”) Mt.11:14)

Dr. Frederick Martel, author of In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy, surprising conclusions about the Vatican: *** 

1. The Vatican has one of the biggest gay communities in the world.
2. He discovered that he felt he had gone back in time seeking clergy living double lives.
3. Priests who didn’t recognize themselves as gay before living in Vatican City have “discovered” their homosexuality.
4. If you want to integrate with the Vatican, one must adhere to a code which consists of tolerating the priests’ and bishops’ homosexuality. Enjoy it if appropriate, but keep it secret.
5. Many of the Cardinals and priest share the same inclinations.
6. There are more and more homosexuals as one rises to through the Catholic hierarchy.
7. In the College of Cardinals, and at the Vatican, homosexuality becomes the rule, heterosexuality becomes the exception.

Conclusion:

Prostitution, prostitute, fornication, fornicate, porn, pornographic

New Testament:

1. This term refers to unchastity, unfaithfulness, and unlawful marriage.
2. An unlawful marriage is in contrast to God’s laws for marriage and procreation [man and woman].
3. The New Testament reaffirms that immorality comes from within (the heart).
4. Fornication, immorality, disobedience, pride, and the devil are all tied together. The devil seeks to undermine, upend, and destroy God’s laws and creation. (Jn.8:41)
5. Jesus HATED the Nicolaitans’ deeds (mockery of the Christian faith). The Nicolatians had overcome the Christian culture with paganism, occult, compromise, and tolerance.

Update: It seems like the Nicolaitans, Modernists and Synodalists have much in common: watered-down faith and teachings, tolerance, compromise, and human traditions, and adapting to the world. This synodal Church is becoming a new Church made in the image of man and his lived experiences.

Fiducia Supplicans is a by-product of the Vatican’s acquiescence to pressure from the German bishops’ curious interest in homosexuality.

The Church has reached a pivotal point as a result of Fiducia Supplicans. This has now created an inflection point in the Church: Do we want a Church that blesses sin and evil? Some have stated that the Church has reached its “millstone moment.”

It is no surprise at all when the usual suspects [Pope Francis’ associates] (Cardinal Cupic, Cardinal Gregory, and Cardinal McElrory) each have some ties to the heretical AUSCP (U.S.  Association of Catholic Priests). This group supports homosexual activism, and women’s ordination.

If clergy (cardinals, bishops, and priests) TRULY UNDERSTOOD the spousal nature of celibacy, they would have less inclinations for living this homosexual lifestyle.

A New Mexico archbishop is now raising questions and scrutiny over living arrangements with a priest in an openly homosexuality relationship. Will the Vatican respond or keep quiet?

Synodality continues Vatican II’s efforts to have “spiritual intercourse” with worldliness, politics, paganism, secularism, lived experiences, inclusion, tolerance, false compassion, sin and ignoring sin.

The African bishops are seeking to find an accommodation for Catholic teachings against polygamy. The African bishops want to keep polygamy because Catholic teachings against polygamy “doesn’t work for them”. Let that sink in! Will the Vatican also give the African bishops an exception (like they did with Fiducia Supplicans)? What does that say about the African people who want to hold onto their pagan ways?

Two professors, Fr. Maurizo Chiodi and Fr. Davide Guenzi, whose views on homosexuality and contraception contradict Church teachings, were appointed to lead the Pontifical John Paul II Institute. This a a huge red flag concerning the Modernists’ and Synodalists’ views toward homosexuality. ****

It remains to be seen if Pope Leo will continue tow the same Synodalist narrative toward homosexuality: with silence, paying lip service to Church teachings against homosexuality, indifference, tolerance, inclusion, and false compassion.

This just NEVER ENDS! Archbishop of Strasbourg appoints a priest accused of sexual abuse as Vicar General.

A female Anglican presbyter was invited to “concelebrate” at Archbishop Magri’s installation Mass. What they call “being inclusive with other religions” [which sounds so welcoming and harmless] is actually another example of spiritual harlotry [“intercourse with other religions”]. But does the Vatican actually care? Archbishop Magri later published a letter stating that this was “inadvertent” and was committed to liturgical orthopraxy. Shocker! 

St. Peter Damian’s question remain relevant today: “IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE TO HAVE GOOD PRIESTS?”

“Someone who lived practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pains in hell than else, because this is the worst sin there is.” St. Bernadine of Siena

“There are many who are so steeped in vice that they never think of eternity and seek their happiness in sinful and worldly pleasures… Indecisive and lukewarm, they think that they can serve God and the devil at the same time. If people of this kind will not make up their minds, they are running the risk of eternal damnation.” Cardinal Bacci (1891-1971)
