Pope Francis continues to stack the College of Cardinals with liberal and pro-LGBT prelates.
Abp Goh is wrong on so many points.
* Cannot compromise gospel values but need to be realistic? Do not compromise gospel values. Period. To be realistic is precisely to not compromise gospel values. If you bend backwards in order to be “realistic,” then you have already compromised gospel values.
* Everyone must be embraced by the Church including the divorced and LGBT? Certainly. But not the political correctness of just embracing but without talking about the person’s sin. Embrace and love the sinner but hate the sin.
* What the Church needs is compassion? Agreed. But compassion does not include keeping a blind eye to sin. On the contrary, real compassion points out the sin, so the sinner may be properly educated and helped out of the sin.
