Father James Martin’s Homosexual Agenda

In his 2017 book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the L.G.B.T Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity, Fr. Martin says of homosexuality that “some bishops have already called for the church to set aside the phrase ‘objectively disordered’” in the Catechism.

The "Shroud of Padre Pio"

The saint wiped his face with a handkerchief, & later a mysterious image appeared on it.  A Shroud of Turin expert says the image is acheropita – not made by human hands. . .
