THE POPE HAS NO RIGHT TO ‘BLESS WHAT GOD CALLS SIN’–FRANKLIN GRAHAM WARNS
AGAINST CALLING ‘EVIL GOOD’

Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, denounced Pope Francis in a Facebook post on Monday
(Dec. 18) for approving Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples.

“So-called ‘blessings’ from religious leaders won’t save you from the judgment
of God,” Graham said. “Pope Francis has now approved Catholic priests ‘blessing’
same-sex couples. But none of us, including the Pope, has the right to ‘bless’
what God calls sin.”



Quoting Isaiah 5:20, Graham warned the Pope and others who agree with him that
they have no right to “call evil good and good evil.”

Couples

“The Good News is that right now God will forgive sin,” Graham said. “But we
have to come to Him His way, on His terms by repenting of our sins and placing
our faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.”



“Otherwise, the Bible says, ‘The destruction of transgressors and of sinners
shall be together, and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed (Isaiah
1:28),’” Graham added.

On Monday, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith declared in
its Fiducia Supplicans that Catholic priests are permitted “the possibility of
blessing couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples without officially
validating their status or changing in any way the Church’s perennial teaching
on marriage.”

Although these “blessings” of same-sex couples are now permitted, the
declaration made it clear that the sacrament of marriage is still only between a
man and a woman, stating “the Church’s doctrine on this point remains firm.”

“God never turns away anyone who approaches him! Ultimately, a blessing offers
people a means to increase their trust in God,” the declaration stated. “The
request for a blessing, thus, expresses and nurtures openness to the
transcendence, mercy, and closeness to God in a thousand concrete circumstances
of life, which is no small thing in the world in which we live. It is a seed of
the Holy Spirit that must be nurtured, not hindered.”
