"A Disaster": Christian Leaders Sounds Off After Pope Francis Gives Green Light to Bless "What God Calls Sin""I think this is an indefensible statement in terms of the history of the Christian tradition and even the history and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and more importantly, according to Scripture. The object here is to bless what I believe Scripturally can't be blessed and shouldn't be blessed, and what even the Roman Catholic Church continues to teach is directly contrary to creation order and the expressed will of God." -Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky
The Rev. Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse, posted a no-holds-barred criticism of the pope, warning that "blessings" on homosexual couples won't "save you from the judgment of God." "Pope Francis has now approved Catholic priests' blessing' same-sex couples," Graham wrote. "But none of us, including the pope, has the right to 'bless' what God calls sin. 'Woe to those who call evil good and good evil...' (Isaiah 5:20)." He continued, "The Good News is that, right now, God will forgive sin, 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's comments came after the Vatican released a document called "Fiducia Supplicans," which stated blessings can be bestowed upon same-sex couples as long as it's not confused with the ritual of marriage. The document did note, however, that such blessings cannot be part of a civil union ceremony or include gestures clothing, or words associated with marriage. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, called the statement from Pope Francis "a disaster."
