‘Catholics must stand firm in an inflexible non possumus’ against
blessing homosexual unions, even if this ‘results in a split in the
Church,’ write two theologians in their new book 'The Breached Dam: The
Fiducia Supplicans Surrender to the Homosexual Movement.' <br></div><div>
ROME (<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/catholic/">LifeSiteNews</a>) –– In a newly published book, two theologians outline that Cardinal Fernández’s appointment to the Vatican and his <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i> text are the “crowning achievement” of the pro-homosexual movement and the “powerful LGBT lobby” within the Catholic Church. <br></div><div>
<a href="https://www.tfp.org/the-breached-dam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Published May 27</a>, a book entitled “The Breached Dam: The <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i>
Surrender to the Homosexual Movement” outlines the work of two
theologians and researchers following the December 2023 publication of <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i>.
The controversial December text was issued by new prefect of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Victor Manuel
Fernández, and allows for “blessings for couples in irregular situations
and for couples of the same sex.” <br></div><div>
<em>The Breached Dam</em> authors José A. Ureta and Julio Loredo note
that, for many decades, a push has been made by LGBT activists to have
the Catholic Church approve of homosexual unions. Cardinal Fernández’s <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i>, the authors write, represented a “highly symbolic half-step on this long road toward full recognition.” <br></div><div>
<p>Despite the insistence from the Vatican and Pope Francis that the
text did not approve of same-sex unions, widespread reception of the
text both in the Church and in secular society has been that the Church
has an openness to same-sex unions.</p>
<p>“Thus, the ‘non-ritual’ blessings authorized by <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i> opened
a big breach in the dam of Catholic morals and represented a victory
for the homosexual movement to the extent that this impression took hold
in the minds of the public, especially Catholics,” Ureta and Loredo
write.<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Fresh from publishing <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/cardinal-burke-warns-synod-is-part-of-revolution-to-radically-change-the-catholic-church/">their 2023 work</a>
on the Synod on Synodality with a foreword by Cardinal Raymond Burke,
Ureta and Loredo present their latest text as a means to provide the
outline and context of the “homosexual movement” and its link with <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i>.</p>
<p>“This book is intended to help all who lack this historical
perspective understand in a concise and panoramic view how much Cardinal
Víctor Manuel Fernández’s <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans </i>constitutes
an unusual Vatican surrender to the pressures of the homosexual movement
inside and outside the Church,” the pair state.</p>
<h4><b>‘LGBT lobby’ within the Church</b></h4>
<p>Penning a foreword for <i>The Breached Dam</i>, Bishop Robert Mutsaerts, auxiliary of Hertogenbosch, stated that <em>Fiducia Supplicans</em>
“refuses to name evil,” and thus “is in tune with the current
zeitgeist: The denial of sin, which is a consequence of the dominant
subjectivism and relativism today, and the denial of truth, which, by
definition, applies to everyone at all times.”</p>
<p>Going further, Mutsaerts took aim at Pope Francis’ calls for “todos”
(everyone), noting that “God makes demands” and that “[n]othing works so
disastrously as denying evil.”</p>
Praising Ureta and Loredo for their book, Mutsaerts summarized that the text “fully demonstrates how <i>Fiducia</i> S<i>upplicans</i> is the result of a process prepared by a very well-organized pressure group within the Catholic Church.” <br></div><div>
<p>Such reference to an internal group within the Church was made also by the authors. In a press release accompanying <i>The Breached Dam</i>, Ureta and Loredo opined that the international “controversy” over <i>Fiducia Supplicans</i>
highlighted that “an in-depth study of how, for several decades, a
powerful LGBT lobby has been established within the Catholic Church has
been missing.”</p>
<p>Such a lobby, the pair wrote, “has been able to operate skillfully in
the realm of social activism as well as in the academic and theological
realms, with the goal of eliminating from Catholic doctrine the gravely
sinful character that the Church attributes to homosexual acts and,
even, to have them approved as authentic signs of Christian love.”</p>
<p><i>The Breached Dam</i>, the press release reads, aims to provide
such a historical study. Through its pages, Ureta and Loredo “reliably
demonstrate that the Argentine prelate’s [Cardinal Fernández’s] arrival
at the head of the DDF and his resounding declaration <i>Fiducia</i> <i>Supplicans</i>,
constitute nothing more than the crowning achievement of the
aforementioned project of opening up to homosexuality carefully carried
out within significant sectors of the Church.”<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<h4><b>Resist homosexual blessings even if there is an ecclesial ‘split’</b></h4>
<p>The international resistance to <i>Fiducia Supplicans</i> is well known, with its wide-ranging nature only eclipsed by the instant manner of such a movement.<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Indeed, after having led a nearly entirely continent-wide rejection
of the text, Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo – the president of the African
bishops’ conference and a close papal advisor – <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/top-african-cardinal-fiducia-supplicans-buried/">stated recently</a> the text “has been buried” in Africa.</p>
<p>Summarizing <i>The Breached Dam’s </i>pages, Ureta and Loredo attest
that the book demonstrates “that if there is a small ideological group
with schismatic leanings, it is not to be found among the prelates,
scholars, and faithful who defend the truth, goodness, and beauty of the
Church’s traditional teaching.”<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>“Rather,” they write, such a “schismatic” and “small” group is
comprised of the progressive dissidents that the Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith condemned in the 1990s”:<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<blockquote><p>Encouraged by Pope Francis’s openings, it has raised its
head and conquered space in the eleven years of his pontificate. Yet
this homoheretical current lacks popular support even in Germany, where
it controls the bodies that direct the Synodal Way with the support of a
massive majority of the hierarchy.</p></blockquote>
<p>The authors warned that such activists would not be content with the provisions of <i>Fiducia Supplicans</i>, but would only be satisfied by homosexual “liturgical blessings with rituals similar to those of sacramental marriage.”</p>
<p>In the face of this push, Ureta and Loredo took the notable step of
using Catholics to resist even to the point of a “split in the Church”:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hence, Catholics must stand firm in an inflexible <i>non</i> <i>possumus</i> because
“We ought to obey God, rather than men” (Acts 5:29). If this respectful
but unwavering resistance to authority results in a split in the
Church, it will not be the fault of those who defend the deposit of
faith, striving to keep it intact, but rather those seeking to
reinterpret it based on alleged developments of modern science and the
supposed evolution of humanity.</p></blockquote>
