Mother Miriam: Catholics Cannot Obey False, ‘Sinful’ Statements of Francis...
“Man shall not condone evil or rationalize sin. Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God and man! The Creator condemns those who do not repent of this sin.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1977
“Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice.”

Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1981

Catholics must reject statements that contradict the faith even if thePope utters them, Mother Miriam said in a recent episode of LifeSite’s “Mother Miriam Live!”
“When the Pope says what is sinful, what is inaccurate, what is againstthe faith,” said the Benedictine prioress, “not only do we have the right tonot believe, but we should not believe. We must follow God and not men, evenwhen that man is the Holy Father, if he does not speak what is true.”
“The first one we obey is God, always,” Mother Miriam stressed. “And ifthe Pope teaches something contrary to the Faith or what God has spokenthrough his Word or in the Natural Law, then we do not obey. We do not obeythe Pope.”
The Catholic Church teaches thatChrist endows the Roman Pontiff with the charism of infallibility in mattersof faith and morals, but that he only exercises infallibility “when, assupreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful … he proclaims by adefinitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals,” as declared by theFirst Vatican Council.
Pope Francis has never made an infallible pronouncement, Mother Miriamnoted.
Her comments echo those of St. John Henry Newman, who wrote in his Letterto the Duke of Norfolk that if a Pope prescribed an immoral act,such as lying, “his command would simply go for nothing, as if he had notissued it, because he has no power over the Moral Law.”
Pope Francis wrong on COVID jabs, LGBT
Mother Miriam specifically pointed to Pope Francis’ opinion that COVID-19vaccination is a “moral duty” and an “act of love.” In a 2020 doctrinalnote, the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith stated that vaccinationis not a “moral obligation,” however.
“So when the Pope says it’s OK to take the vaccine, he went beyond thatand said it’s uncharitable not to take it,” Mother Miriam said. “He is wrongin that, he is wrong in other cases.”
“I’m not his judge, but we know the teaching of the Catholic Church.”
She also highlighted a recentmessage from Pope Francis to LGBT activist Fr. James Martin, SJ, inwhich the Pope suggested that Catholics who “reject” so-called “LGBTCatholics” belong to a “sect” rather than the Church.
Those remarks are “not true,” Mother Miriam said, pointing out, firstly,that “there’s no such thing as an ‘LGBTQ Catholic.’”
“If you call yourself a Catholic and you are practicing homosexuality orsame-sex so-called ‘marriages’ or unions, or if you are active, then youhave excommunicated yourself from the Church,” she insisted. “You may bebaptized a Catholic, but you are not on your way to heaven and you’re not ingood standing with God. You need to repent.”
Mother Miriam added that “those who repent, who live a celibate lifestyleand who honor God, yes, they will be Catholic, but they no longer callthemselves ‘LGBTQ’ because they know that that is terribly dishonoring toGod.”
“He died for every one of you, everyone. But he will not accept a sinfullifestyle,” she said, stating also that “we can have certain tendencieswithout labeling ourselves a way that it is not helpful to you, as if Godcannot change you or change things around.”
Pope Francis has repeatedly appalled faithful Catholics with his publicsupport of same-sex civil unions, in contradiction to Church teaching,and of the LGBT movement more broadly.
The Argentine Pontiff has sparkedcontroversy with numerous other dubious statements, such as that “thediversity of religions” is “willedby God” and that “apostates” are includedin the communion of the saints, as well as with his 2016 apostolicexhortation Amoris Laetitia and the “Pachamama” scandal, amongother things.
Same-sex ‘marriage’ is ‘not love at all’
In an earlier segment, Mother Miriam also dismantled a listener’s claimsthat there can be “loving homosexual ‘marriages’.”
“There is no such thing as a homosexual ‘marriage,’” she corrected. “There is such a thing as homosexual relationships. But a marriage isbetween a man and a woman, not between two men or two women. That’s what Godhas created.”
“When we are out of God’s will, when we support what is out of God’swill, that’s not love at all,” but rather, “sending people to an end that istorture for the rest of eternity,” she said.
“There’s no such thing as any homosexual, practicing homosexual orsodomite, that will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and whoever does not enterthe Kingdom of Heaven goes to hell,” Mother Miriam continued.
“There’s no such thing as ‘loving homosexual “marriages”.’ There’s no.Such. Thing.”
“Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice.”
