The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

Why are there do many extraordinary ministers? How do the virtues complement each other? Is the Pope actually blessing same-sex couples? and more on today's Open Line with Colin Donovan.

Why are there do many extraordinary ministers? How do the virtues complement each other? Is the Pope actually blessing same-sex couples? and more on today's Open Line with Colin Donovan.

Same-sex marriage is already legal in the state and across the nation. But thanks to Prop. 8, passed in 2008, California still has an unenforceable "zombie law" on the books that bans it. Prop. 3 would formally repeal that ban and explicitly establish marriage as a fundamental right afforded to everyone in the state constitution. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why Are Churches Blessing Same Sex Couples While Denying Same Sex Marriage? There's an alarming trend beginning to emerge in churches today across Christendom. Conservative Catholic, Orthodox and even Evangelical churches have taken to offer blessings to same-sex couples while still trying to hold that same-sex unions are against the teachings of scripture. Should "pastoral care" trump the clear teaching of scripture on what we understand as an immoral lifestyle? And how do we as evangelicals elevate doctrine to its proper position while still “loving the sinner and hating the sin”? We tackle this difficult topic in this round-table discussion.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports ten LGBTQ+ couples tie the knot in Hong Kong to mark Pride month.

In this episode, Prof Chapman discusses the key question from a same sex couple considering sperm donation. The conversation delves into genetic counseling for hemophilia B, exploring options like gender selection and genetic screening to ensure healthy embryos. It also highlights success rates for IVF in women around 35, providing valuable insights into the chances of pregnancy and the effectiveness of multiple embryo transfers.

The passing of the Assisted Reproduction Bill 2022 in the Dáil on Wednesday has been welcomed by many families and couples nationwide. However, for same sex parents that have used surrogacy, the Bill continues to ignore some of the main wishes they sought in previous drafts. Joining Andrea to discuss are Ranae Von Meding, CEO of Equality for Children and Seamus Kearney Martone, Chairperson of Irish Gay Dads.

Twenty years ago, the first LGBTQ couples were married in Massachusetts. The state was the first in the country to legalize same-sex marriage.

Recorded before Abbey Road and initially titled Get Back, Paul McCartney devised the record in an attempt to restore the band's chemistry after friction within the quartet. Lead single “Get Back” was issued in April 1969, while “Let It Be” and “I Me Mine” were recorded in January 1970 without John Lennon. Despite the controversy surrounding the album, it went on to be a best-seller, topping charts around the globe.   In 1982, Vangelis' “Chariots of Fire – Titles,” the theme to the film Chariots of Fire, topped the US singles chart. The now-classic instrumental track marked the Greek composer's first and only No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.  In 1993, Aerosmith's 11th studio album, Get A Grip, topped the Billboard 200, marking the long-running band's first to hit the No.1 position. Selling over 20 million copies worldwide, it re-introduced Aerosmith to a new generation of fans, thanks to hits like “Cryin'” and the Grammy-winning “Livin' on the Edge” and “Crazy.”  In 2016, a recently-departed Prince held the top two spots on the Billboard albums chart with The Very Best of Prince and Purple Rain. Born Prince Rogers Nelson, the legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist died on April 21, 2016, at the age of 57. Today, he is recognized as one of the biggest recording artists of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide.  Jeremiah Tittle, Co-Host of “The 500 with Josh Adam Myers” Podcast and CEO/Founder of Next Chapter Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen in as I tackle the delicate and profound topic of same-sex couples with children within the church community. We explore the intricate journey these families may face, particularly the pursuit of repentance and the challenges of maintaining family stability during such transitions. I share insights on the imperative of parents to model a life of repentance and find their fulfillment in Jesus, emphasizing the church's role in providing unwavering support, love, and guidance during these transformative times. This conversation also touches upon the parallels between same-sex families and other non-traditional family structures, reinforcing the message that God's grace abounds where the family ideal is not met.  As we continue, we delve into the emotional complexities that can arise when one partner in a same-sex relationship seeks to deepen their relationship with Christ. This often leads to difficult decisions regarding separation and the potential for custody disputes over children. I discuss the importance of gospel repentance and the church's commitment to creating a stable, nurturing environment for all involved. We consider the painful sacrifices that may be required but conclude with a reminder of the hope and better future that Jesus promises. Tune in for an honest and compassionate examination of these sensitive issues, as we reaffirm our dedication to spreading the gospel and engaging in ministry that bridges the gaps in the lives of both adults and children.TIMESTAMPS:(00:16) - Navigating Same-Sex Couples in Church (08:15) - Navigating Repentance in Same-Sex Relationships (14:56) - Spreading Gospel and Engaging MinistryJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations

A researcher shares what she’s heard about same-sex couples navigating the wedding industry. We also hear how paywalls affect people’s access to quality news. Plus, the impact our names can have on our identity.

On this very special episode of Mormonish Podcast, Landon and Rebecca are joined by four wonderful married LGBTQ couples who still attend and love the LDS church. This episode shines a spotlight on how different this attendance looks for each person as we talk with Austin and Dallin, Tyler, Bethany and Jackie, and Steven. Becoming aware over the last few months of othe LGBTQ married couples who seem to enjoy full participation and fellowship in their LDS wards, we wanted to learn more. We were so honored to find four married LDS LGBTQ couples who wanted to share their stories. When you hear these stories together, it's clear that local leadership struggles with no clear direction from the top or any formal policy. What you are left with is a roulette situation and the lives of LGBTQ are negatively impacted. As we watch these four stories, we are struck by the desire of these couples to remain in the church and in their LDS community. Each story is different, with varying levels of participation allowed, which makes it all the more poinant.

Pope Francis has formally approved priests blessing same-sex relationships. Host Krys Boyd talks with Francis X. Rocca, Vatican and global religion correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, about how the new ruling is being put into practice worldwide. We'll also talk with Eder Díaz Santillan, creator and producer of the podcast “De Pueblo, Católico y Gay,” and lecturer at California State University, specifically about how gay Catholics are receiving the news.

San Francisco made history when it began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples 20 years ago. KCRW hears from one of the first 10 couples to get married that day. Composer John Williams received his 54th Oscar nomination this year. He's known for music in blockbusters such as “Star Wars” and “Jaws.” KCRW looks at his smaller-scale tracks. A media frenzy ensued following last week's special counsel report questioning Biden's mental faculties. Is this deluge of coverage fair? State Supreme Court rulings on gun control and abortion rights rebuke recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

Welcome to Episode 164 of the Being Human Podcast: Finding Peace Beyond Understanding: Trusting God's Love Amidst Church Challenges There is a growing discontent in the Church at present, and there is a need to recalibrate and renew our relationship with God. In this episode, Dr. Greg explores the historical roots of why our Church seems to lack solid formation on human sexuality and how this impacts our society today. He also talks about the emotional divide among priests and bishops in the church hierarchy. He emphasizes how we are all called to reintegrate our faith and trust, and to go deeper in our relationship with God so we can keep ourselves grounded in the Father's love during these times of confusion and division.   Discussed in the Episode: The growing awareness of discontent within the Church, specifically in the United States, and how this is causing mistrust and confusion among Catholics   An exploration on the roots of this discontent – drawing back from past historical scandals, abuse, and a lack of substantial human sexuality formation in the Church  Understanding the emotional divide between priests and bishops and how distrust permeates different levels within the Church hierarchy through the parallel process How acknowledging human imperfection and owning one's mistakes along with an openness to growth, renewal and reintegration can lead to peace and healing  The importance of seeking peace in the love of God the Father and of deepening one's faith and trust in presence of the Holy Spirit, especially in these times of confusion and uncertainty  An invitation to practice Catholic mindfulness and to participate in the Lenten Program of CatholicPsych, as a way to renew and recalibrate our relationship with God    Resources mentioned or relevant:  Lenten Program Sign Up The Mindful Catholic Book Episode 158: Blessings for Same-Sex Couples?

How do I prepare if marriage equality gets overturned?In June 2022, we all watched in shock as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and gutted women's rights to their bodies and reproductive healthcareMany of us in the LGBTQ+ community were even more shocked when the concurring opinion from Justice Thomas was released, where he alluded to the court's need to review and reverse protections for same-sex couples, including marriage and the rights and responsibilities that go along with it.In addition, with more and more Gen Z and younger Millenials vocalizing that they will be sitting out the 2024 election because of their disappointment with Biden on social issues, it is possible we could see even more momentum in the country to revoke the right for same-sex couples to marry. It feels as if we're at the precipice of going backward on this issue as we see countries like Nepal and Estonia legalizing marriage equality in 2023. So, what can same-sex couples in the United States do to protect themselves and their assets to be on the safe side?You're listening to Queer Money episode #472. And today, we're sharing the top 5 documents same-sex couples can and should be using to protect themselves.For the resources and to connect with our guests, get the show notes at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/subscribe Follow us:Queer Money Instagram Queer Money YouTubeQueer Money on TiktokDownload your FREE Queer Money Kickstarter a 9-step Guide to Kickstart Your Journey to Financial Independence

Welcome to Episode 159 of the Being Human Podcast: My Personal Story of an Irregular Situation and Fiducia Supplicans Fiducia Supplicans, the new document released by the Vatican, and the way Pope Francis addressed questions about the blessing of couples in “irregular” or same-sex relationships has caused controversy and confusion to many. In this new episode, Dr. Greg shares his reflections and insights on this issue to guide us in deepening our understanding of the document, and to help enlighten us on how to respond to this matter in the light of our Catholic faith.   Discussed in the episode: The historical theme of division and mistrust initiated by the devil and the importance of unity and communion in the Church; A deep dive into the document's release on the development of Church teaching on blessings, specifically for couples in irregular situations or same-sex relationships; The fundamental teachings on marriage, sin, and God's plan for sexuality remain unchanged; Gaining perspective on the transcendence of God's presence through the endurance of the Catholic Church for 2,000 years and its foundation on the promises of Christ; The imperfections present in the Church throughout history and the need to recognize the transcendent authority of God beyond human failing; Why it is important to have a closer view of the document and consider the opportunity for it to open a pathway for deeper compassion and understanding, especially for those struggling with same-sex attraction; Why can there be a possibility that the document might provide a pastoral blessing for couples who, in choosing celibacy, seek support, friendship, and a life of virtue and holiness in accordance with the Church teachings; Why it is important for us to find God amid human imperfections, whether in the Pope or the Church, and to seek unity, understanding, and a deeper appreciation for the Holy Spirit's presence in the Church.   Resources mentioned or relevant:  On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings Declaration;  'Fiducia supplicans' is Self-Contradictory (Article by Cardinal Gerhard Müller) One Omission and Three False Dichotomies in the Vatican “Declaration” (Blog Post by Dr. Greg); Being Human Podcast Episodes:  Our recent Gender Series, beginning with Episode #149: A New Approach to the Gender Crisis; Episode #72: The DSM Disease (Part One of Two); Episode #158: Blessings for Same-Sex Couples?

Welcome to Episode 158 of the Being Human Podcast: Blessings for Same-Sex Couples? (An Invitation to go Deeper) So many Catholics have been shocked, surprised, and confused by the recently-released Vatican document in which Pope Francis responds to questions regarding the blessing of couples in “irregular” or same-sex relationships. In this episode, Dr. Greg offers a response to the issue.    Discussed in the episode:  The importance of transcending political commentary and debates and focusing instead on creating a path forward as a Church; What this current confusion can teach us;  Why this issue is actually an opportunity to bring the Church's teaching about God's plan for male and female to the forefront; The importance of deepening our understanding about the truth, beauty, and goodness of 2000 years of Catholic teaching about human sexuality; Why anything outside of God's plan for marriage between a man and a woman is against our humanity; What Christ's example of eating with tax collectors and sinners, meeting the woman at the well, and reaching down to the woman caught in adultery means; Why it's important to have compassion for those struggling with sin, while still being careful not to legitimize the behavior of a sinful relationship; Our role as thoughtful, intelligent, prayerful, and discerning Catholics; Why we need to start with ourselves and our own interior conversion to make the Church better as a whole.   Resources mentioned or relevant:  On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings Declaration;  One Omission and Three False Dichotomies in the Vatican “Declaration” (blog post by Dr. Greg); Being Human Podcast Episodes:  Our recent Gender Series, beginning with Episode #149: A New Approach to the Gender Crisis; Episode #72: The DSM Disease (Part One of Two);  Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body by Pope John Paul II; ;  Theology of the Body for Beginners by Christopher West;  Need help?

According to new guidance released this week by the Vatican, “irregular” unions should not be denied the right to receive God's blessing. Pope Francis' guidance did not, however, amend church doctrine on marriage. Reset speaks with Steve Millies, associate professor of public theology and director of Bernardin Center at the Catholic Theological Union Mary Donnelley, board president at Dignity Chicago and Chris Pett, former national Dignity president to learn more.

Recently, the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith released a new declaration titled “Fiducia Supplicans” which, in part, states that any same-sex or unmarried couple can receive a blessing from a priest or deacon under certain conditions. Father Dave explains this news and clarifies some misconceptions about what it means.

With the New York Times headline “Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples,” many may mistakenly believe that the pope (and, by extension, the Catholic Church) is endorsing homosexual relationships.

Breaking! Blessing Same-Sex Couples!Support the show

On Monday Dec. 18, the Vatican's doctrinal office issued a declaration stating that priests can bless same-sex couples as long as the blessing does not resemble a marriage or coincide with a civil union ceremony. This declaration follows up on a controversial 2021 response from the dicastery that stated same-sex unions could not be blessed in a liturgical context. The new declaration does not overturn the previous teaching against liturgical blessings, but does allow priests to give non-liturgical blessings to couples in irregular situations, such as a same-sex relationship. James Martin, S.J., editor-at-large at America Magazine, discusses the significance of this development, noting that it is a step forward and offers a deeper theological reflection. Requesting a blessing is “a holy desire for God's help,” says Father Martin. “Rather than saying God doesn't bless sin, it's saying, God blesses all of us in our desire for God's presence in our lives.” Father Martin believes that this declaration is an important step towards inclusivity and pastoral care for L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics, their families and friends. “This is an early Christmas present for the Catholic Church and for so many people who have felt that God really isn't accompanying them—and that the church, more specifically, is not accompanying them—and now they will feel more accompanied and able to do these things in public.” Read more Pope Francis' same-sex blessings declaration is a major step forward for LGBTQ Catholics Pope Francis allows blessings of couples in same-sex relationships Please support this podcast by becoming a digital subscriber to America Media.
