BREAKING: Bishops of Malta approve of intrinsically evil acts ~ pray for them

"But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart".  Matthew 5:28

Heresiarch Scicluna of Malta

The Maltese bishops have announced that one can follow one's conscience regarding the committing of adultery. These men obviously no longer believe that this particular act, is always, everywhere, and without exception a very grave mortal sin. Vox Cantoris carries a full report. 

Ed Peters carries a canonical analysis that points out how the bishops of Malta have just demolished the Sacraments of Holy Matrimony and Confession (if it were possible). His observations are particularly grave. 

These malefactors can easily be refuted. 

Consider the following that dealt with the specific intrinsic evil of contraception. But it is just as applicable to any other intrinsic evil, e.g. adultery.




Astonishingly, these evil malefactors had their advocacy of adultery and invalid confessions published in L'Osservatore Romano. Contrast this to what Pope John Paul II had published in past years. 

From L'Osservatore Romano, February 27, 1987, page 9.

The Christian moral tradition has always distinguished between positive norms (which bid us to act) and negative norms (which forbid action). 

Further, this tradition has constantly and clearly maintained that, among negative norms, those which prohibit intrinsically disordered acts do not admit exceptions; such acts, indeed, are morally “disordered” on account of their own innermost structure, hence in and of themselves, that is, they are opposed to the person in his or her specific dignity as a person. 

For this very reason, no subjective intention and circumstance (which do not change the structure of these acts) can make such acts morally ordered.

I have a question for these Maltese malefactors: if one can follow one's conscience regarding the intrinsically evil act of adultery, what about murder (which includes abortion and euthanasia), rape, theft, unnatural sexual acts (specifically oral and anal sodomy between men and women) and homosexual acts?

Logically, if one can be excused for one intrinsically evil act, one must be excused for all. Evil is evil. These men no longer believe in the Truth. Please pray for these poor, pathetic men who have betrayed Christ and are in desperate need of prayers.

To close in the words of St Francis de Sales from an Introduction to the Devout Life: 


"Public, notorious sinners may be spoken of freely, provided always even then that a spirit of charity and compassion prevail, and that you do not speak of them with arrogance or presumption, or as though you took pleasure in the fall of others".


"But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart".  Matthew 5:28
