The Vatican Push for Inclusivity Should be Excluded

David Martin | The Daily Knight

A theme being pushed today by the Vatican is that God unconditionally welcomes all into the Church regardless of their sins. To defend this point, some will argue that Christ offered forgiveness to Judas.

Jesus indeed opened the door to forgiveness, but he never forgave Judas because he never apologized to Jesus for betraying him. Were it otherwise, Judas today wouldn’t be banished to the fires of Hell. Were it otherwise Jesus would have never said, “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born.” (Mt 26:24)

The last two popes plug their ears to this and any such Gospel messages. On August 6, 2023, Francis told reporters, "The Lord is clear," emphasizing that we must “include” in the Church the “good and bad," but allowing the bad to enter is what is polluting the Church. The plan of the modernists is to infect the Church with doctrinal germs in order to subvert it and the way they accomplish this is by infecting the Church with germ pushers. In the name of “inclusivity” the Church today is being overrun by heretics, schismatics, and LGBTQ activists to the detriment of the flock.

To support his inclusivity agenda Francis used as his basis the Gospel verse concerning the king who made a marriage for his son and who extended an invitation to both the “good and bad” to attend (Matt. 22:3-10), but what he left out was that those who refused the invitation were killed by the order of the king (Mt. 22:7). Obviously, they weren’t included. Note too, that the “bad” in this verse is not a reference to offenders but to lower class people like the Publicans who were open to Christ.

Francis also left out the verse about the man who was thrust out into the exterior darkness because he didn’t have on his “wedding garment.” (Mt. 22:12,13) The wedding garment signifies our garment of grace that makes us eligible to attend the Lord’s Supper.  

For years Francis harped on the idea that the Church must include LGBTQ people and all “marginalized” groups and now we see Leo echoing this lie. Lumping in criminal offenders with the humble is a typical modernist ploy to make offenders look innocent. The Vatican today paints itself up as ‘compassionate and loving’ while punishing tradition-minded Catholics because of the true love they hold in their hearts.

The ongoing murmur we hear today from Rome is that the pre-Vatican II Church didn’t acknowledge God’s mercy and compassion, which is ludicrous. The Church through the ages had mercifully bestowed on humanity the jewels of Apostolic Tradition whereby countless millions were delivered from the pains of darkness and brought to the shores of everlasting peace. That’s true mercy.

On the contrary, the post-conciliar church has deprived humanity of the gift of tradition thereby placing many on the path to perdition to meet with eternal damnation in the end. Where is the mercy?

There is no denying that God is all goodness and mercy but his mercy is only “to them that fear him.” (Luke 1:50) He indeed welcomes all into the Church but only on the condition that they are contrite and resolved to amend their lives. God does not accept us as we are unless what we are is what He created us to be, namely, the dedicated sons and daughters of God (1 Thess. 4:3). But “If we deny him, he will also deny us.” (2 Timothy 2:12)

Inclusivity is Foreign to Catholic Thought

Today’s Vatican theme of inclusivity is foreign to Catholic thought. The Church through the centuries never taught such lunacy so why should it be taught today? Prior to Vatican II the Church held that if a person grievously offends God by involving himself with sins like homosexuality, abortion, or the use of contraceptives, he not only is forbidden from receiving Communion but has no moral right even entering the Church.

This would especially apply to anyone who would have the dare to demand that the Church respect his or her right to live in sin, just like today’s LGBTQ activists who demand that Rome respect their sodomite lifestyle. Such persons show themselves to be enemies of God whereby they place themselves outside the Church.

A Simple Illustration

That God wills that unrepentant sinners not enter the Church can be easily illustrated by a situation where a man holds a banquet for his friends and neighbors and a rude man from the crowd stands up and insults the man of the house and calls his wife ugly. For obvious reasons that man is not only forbidden from partaking in the banquet but is forbidden from even entering that house because he has insulted that man’s household.

How is it that we have people today who are barred from receiving Communion because of their ongoing offenses, like adultery, but who still attend Mass? Some will answer that God never bars anyone, but they err in saying this.

Let us not forget that the Apostle Paul ordered the incestuous man to be barred from the Church (1 Cor. 5). If he did not include the incestuous man he certainly would have never included a homosexual since LGBTQ is a worse crime than incest.

People who are barred from receiving Communion because of unamended offenses have no moral right entering a Catholic Church unless their intention is to visit the confessional. This is what divorced and “remarried” people need to do to be reunited to the Church. They must drop their new “spouse” and try to return to their original spouse.

Cardinal Fernandez’ Push to Include Sin

We know that this goes against the April 8, 2015, Vatican document Amoris Laetitia, but who ever said the document was valid? Let us not forget that it was written by Francis’ ghost writer Cardinal Victor Fernandez who has a history of writing promiscuous books aimed at making a religion out of sex. His 1995 book Heal me with your Mouth, the Art of Kissing along with his 1998 release Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality are perfect examples of his sexual obsession.

To be entertained by this obsession is immoral. His polluted books mock Catholic teaching yet they continue to be sold on Amazon. Neither Francis nor Leo has censured these writings.

What are we to make of this?
