When will this end, Lord, when will this end...
I completely understand that we get what we deserve, and I get that, but how long of a papacy will Leo have? Ten years? Twenty years?
How much more damage will it take before Divine intervention smites the novus ordo, synodal church and raises up the real Catholic Church from the ashes?
I truly feel that we will have to crawl back into the catacombs where our Catholic brothers and sisters worshipped and died for the true faith of Christ!
How much more proof do the popesplainers need to accept what is happening as fact?
When the pope speaks, you had better listen to him -- he means what he says and does!
From lifesitenews.com and written by Joseph Quinn Thu Oct 2, 2025 - 12:12 pm EDT: Pope Leo XIV raises pro-LGBT UK archbishop to key Vatican roles - LifeSite
(LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV has promoted a bishop who has supported LGBT-themed liturgies to a consulting position within the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, part of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity under Cardinal Kurt Koch.
Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham, England, has received three Vatican appointments since June, despite his long record of support for initiatives in the Church that stand in contradiction to Catholic moral teaching.
The Vatican’s Thursday announcement follows Longley’s nomination to the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity in June and the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue in July.
Longley, 70, is the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Birmingham, England. He was ordained in 1981 and named auxiliary bishop of Westminster by Pope John Paul II in 2003.
As an auxiliary, Pink News celebrated his role in overseeing the “Soho Masses Pastoral Council” – a group organizing liturgies for active homosexuals. He was tasked with this role by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, then Archbishop of Westminster.
In 2010, he defended the “LGBT Masses” in The Tablet by rejecting any “moral means-testing” before distributing Holy Communion, and accusing critics of making assumptions about the sexual activity of participants.
His comments drew strong rebukes from campaigners, including the late Daphne McLeod of Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice – one of the groups that regularly held a prayer vigil outside the “LGBT Mass.”
In spite of her opposition, McLeod maintained a respectful relationship with the “LGBT Mass” participants. In her response to Longley, McLeod said that they were “perfectly honest about their homosexual lifestyles,” and were “emphasising that they are in sexual relationships.”
“No one, apart from the Archbishop, tries to pretend they are living or striving to live chaste lives,” she added.
Appointed Archbishop of Birmingham in 2009, Longley has maintained close engagement with LGBT groups. In May 2023, he thanked the “LGBTQ+ community” for its feedback in the Synod on Synodality.
His 2023 diocesan response to the synod referred to the “loving relationships” of “remarried divorcees, single parents, people living in polygamous marriage, LGBTQ people.”
Longley’s archdiocese subsequently hosted an event for LGBT-identifying Catholics for what the prelate called “a continued conversation to listen further.”
According to the archdiocesan website, Longley requested the establishment of a diocesan LGBT group, which “emerged from the Synodal Process.” Longley’s LGBT group organised an “LGBTQ+ Vigil Welcome Mass” in May of this year. Longley himself commented, “It is so important that everyone should feel welcome in the family of the Church,” and expressed his hope that such events would offer “appropriate accompaniment and encouragement.”
Longley’s appointments comes amid heightened scrutiny of Rome’s LGBT “outreach.” At the start of September, Pope Leo XIV received pro-LGBT activist Father James Martin, S.J., in a private audience – after which Martin claimed that Leo “will be continuing with the same openness that Francis showed to LGBTQ Catholics.”
Martin had issued a ringing endorsement of Leo on the day after his election, and was reported to have backed then-Cardinal Robert Prevost prior to the election.
Although some argued that Martin should not be treated as a trustworthy witness, events have confirmed his interpretation.
Prior to that meeting, Leo received the heretical pro-LGBT nun Sr. Lucia Caram in a secret, unannounced audience.
Less than a week later, the pro-LGBT group “Tent of Jonathan” descended on the Vatican with thousands of attendees, being able to hold a Mass at the Jesuit Gésu church, and processing through the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica. This event was advertised on the Vatican’s Jubilee Year website.
Leo has himself indicated that the Church’s teaching on sexual morality could change, if attitudes changed first. In recent remarks, he strongly implied that shifting pastoral practice and public opinion must come before any formal doctrinal change.
Martin lauded this, and called for Catholics to pray “for a change in attitude” to this end.
Leo’s other recent appointments include Bishop Michael Pham to the Diocese of San Diego. In July, Pham’s auxiliary, Bishop Ramón Bejarano, offered an “LGBT Pride Mass” in the diocese with his backing. In July, he also appointed Father Thomas Hennen as bishop of Baker, Oregon, who had been involved in drafting pastoral guidelines for persons with same-sex attraction, which made no mention of the necessity of chastity.
As the recently elected vice president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales in 2025, Longley is positioned as one of the country’s most senior prelates as Leo reshapes key Vatican bodies."
End of another horrific appointment story!
Pray for the defeat of these modernist monsters -- and for their conversion!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle...
St. Joseph pray for us!!
