World Net Daily (WND) contributor Scott Lively warns that "Progressives are successfully "evangelizing" [Protestant] Christian leaders with the Marxist doctrine of 'social justice'":
One of the most recent, perhaps their
biggest American convert ever, is J.D. Greear, President of the Southern
Baptist Convention. In a recent message, Greear “defended a former
staff member who said that while he was on his personal pastoral staff
and ‘very active’ in his church for many years, he secretly looked at
gay porn and hooked up on gay dating sites...saying that he needs to
‘feel his pain’ and ‘learn to grapple with his questions from his point
of view.’ ” More alarmingly, “Greear has insisted that the Scriptures only ‘whisper’ about homosexuality
while addresses other sins–such as greed or boasting–in a much greater
way. He’s also called on Christians to stand up for LGBTQ rights.”
A month earlier, famous Christian author Max Lucado made a similar detour from the faith. There has been a steady increase in these progressive conversions for years now.
Any pastor who claims that Scriptures
“only whisper” about homosexuality or considers it “just another sin”
doesn’t know his Bible, I don’t care how esteemed he may be among
men. The Scripture warns all of us clearly “Do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good,
pleasing, and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2). But conform they have.
The LGBTs smugly predicted they would
accomplish this goal all the way back in 1987 at the height of the
Reagan Revolution when Bible-based pro-family advocacy was very strong
and rising. In their seminal strategy blueprint “The Overhauling of Straight America” they said
“The
first order of business is desensitization of the American public
concerning gays and gay rights. To desensitize the public is to help it
view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion [i.e.
“Just another sin] ... While public opinion is one primary source of
mainstream values, religious authority is the other. When conservative
churches condemn gays, there are only two things we can do to confound
the homophobia of true believers.
“First,
we can use talk to muddy the moral waters. This means publicizing
support for gays by more moderate churches, raising theological
objections of our own about conservative interpretations of biblical
teachings, and exposing hatred and inconsistency. Second, we can
undermine the moral authority of homophobic churches by portraying them
as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step with the times and with the
latest findings of psychology. Against the mighty pull of institutional
Religion one must set the mightier draw of Science & Public Opinion
(the shield and sword of that accursed "secular humanism"). Such an
unholy alliance has worked well against churches before, on such topics
as divorce and abortion. ”
That “accursed ‘secular humanism’ ” is indeed accursed – the Satanic religion of Marxism whose goal has always been to replace Judeo-Christian civilization
by any means necessary. By the LGBT strategists’ own admission, this is
SPIRITUAL warfare in the cultural realm! And they are winning. [March 21, 2021, www.scottlively.net Observations and Action on Current Events, History and Theology. Subscribe by email request here scottlivelyministries@gmail.com ]
Francis Notes:- Doctor
of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt
the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church
in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
