💭 German Catholic bishops have voted to bless same-sex marriages as part of the German Church’s Synodal Assembly, with blessings set to be introduced in March of 2026. Some have called the move schismatic.
The Synodal Assembly on the Reform of the Catholic Church voted in Frankfurt, Germany, to bless same-sex couples on Friday, with 176 of the 202 assembly members voting for the proposal, including two-thirds of the bishops in attendance.
According to a report from the newspaper Donaukurier, same-sex blessings have already been going on in the German church — but were in a canonical grey area and took place in private, rather than openly in churches.
The move stands in direct contradiction to the Vatican, which has explicitly declared that “the Church does not have, and cannot have, the power to bless unions of persons of the same sex.”
The Vatican argued that while God and the Church can bless individuals, including homosexuals, it cannot bless sin, including sexual activity that takes place outside of a valid marriage.
The issue of same-sex couple blessings is one of the main demands from the German Synodal Path, a series of conferences of the Catholic Church in Germany since 2019 that have been looking to greatly transform the Church.
According to the Catholic news website The Pillar, bishops in the Flemish region of Belgium have also been blessing same-sex unions since last year in September.
Bishop Johan Bonny claimed that despite the Vatican’s stance against the blessings of same-sex couples, Pope Francis had not commented on the issue and indicated that it was up to local bishops to decide.
Other bishops, however, have slammed the Germans, including U.S. Bishop Joseph Strickland, who stated on Twitter: “This action is schism plain & simple. As the Vatican made clear months ago, ‘We cannot bless sin’. The 38 bishops who voted for this need to repent and return to the Catholic Church, the Bride of Christ.”
“The president of every Bishop’s Conference around the world should denounce the schismatic vote of the 38 German bishops who have voted to bless same sex unions. We must speak out and call them to return to Catholic teaching. They have hardened their hearts to the Truth,” he added.
Last month, members of the Synodal Way, four women, announced they were quitting the assembly due to fundamental disagreements regarding the direction of the assembly and claiming it was looking to fundamentally change the Church.
The women also noted that major concerns about the Synodal Way from Pope Francis and the Vatican had been kept from participants.
The controversial vote comes just weeks after the Church of England also voted to bless same-sex marriages, with many of the conservative branches of the Anglican Communion reacting highly negatively to the vote.
– Let’s face it: The very nature of our CULTURE is schismatic, whereby half the population is following a “New! Improved!” value system and the other half is sticking with tradition. Because all progressivism is based upon idealism and not fact, it is doomed to failure. The question is: how long?
– Any normal pope would have squashed this. The church is in deep trouble as long as Borgoglio is running things.
– These so called bishops can bless all they want to but it changes nothing. God will not bless sin. Never has and never will. One verse of scripture comes to mind. “Woe unto him that says bad is good and good is bad. Emphasis on the word WOE.
– Churches that bless homosexual marriage are apostate and false teachers. They have clearly chosen to respect people’s feelings more than God’s law.
– The end of The Roman Empire. Next it will be legalizing pedophilia. The church has fallen as a victim of liberal mental disorder.
– Seems like Lucifer is winning currently.
– He has been winning in all false religions since Nimrods time. He will continue to do so until, God uses the UN to destroy all of them just before the system ends.
☪ Mystery Babylon – Mecca/Saudi Arabia as the Great Harlot
Revelation Chapter 17 | Part 2—The Great Harlot: Revelation Chapter 18
Of course, it is one thing to identify Mecca/Saudi Arabia as Mystery Babylon through the line of reasoning that we just followed, but what happens when we actually compare the reality of the Saudi Kingdom to the numerous descriptions about the Harlot that we have already explored?
Does Mecca/Saudi Arabia—the Saudi Royal family and the birthplace and center of Islam—match not most but all of the biblical requirements necessary to qualify as Mystery Babylon? As we are about to see, indeed it does. In fact, the fit is so precise that it’s rather staggering.
Let’s take a walk through the reality that exists politically, financially, and morally in the Kingdom and compare what we have already discovered about the Harlot. Below is the list that we developed as we explored the various biblical passages describing the Harlot of John’s Apocalypse.
Comparing the Biblical Descriptions of Mystery Babylon with Today’s Mecca/Saudi Arabia
Let’s begin by first reviewing this list of requirements before we proceed:
The Harlot is intimately related and connected to the last-days Islamic Empire.
She represents the greatest and most influential anti-Yahweh religion that has ever existed.
She exists geographically in a desert region.
She is likely of royal stock.
She is fabulously wealthy.
She persecutes and murders God’s people: Christians and Jews. On two occasions, she is highlighted as being a persecutor of the saints.
Specifically, it is said that in her is found the blood of prophets and saints.
She seductively offers mankind something that appears to be very alluring and beautiful, yet in God’s eyes it is an utter abomination.
She will be hated and ultimately destroyed by the same Islamic coalition of nations that she is so closely connected to.
She is a politically and geographically definable entity that exerts a great measure of influence over and corrupts many kings, leaders, nations, nationalities, and people groups through her religion, money and products.
The kings of the earth share in her luxury.
She is an importer and an exporter. The merchants of the earth have grown rich from all of the goods that she purchases. She imports vast amounts of goods. Likewise, she also provides the merchants of the world with her “delicacies” whereby they grow rich. Those who do business with the Harlot are “the world’s great men.”
Many of the specific items that are highlighted that she imports are things that all require great wealth and speak of great opulence.
Beyond this, we see that she also imports various forms of produce, livestock and she even literally imports human beings.
She has a large body of foreign nationals living in her midst who are warned by God to leave Babylon and return to their own respective countries.
Now let’s walk through each description individually and see if these also match what is known about Mecca/Saudi Arabia and its ruling family. The first two descriptions help to identify the Harlot by identifying her close relationship with the greater Islamic world and the nature of her anti-Yahweh and anti-Christ religion.
The Harlot will be intimately related and connected to the last days Islamic Empire. She represents the greatest and most influential anti-Yahweh religion that has ever existed.
Saudi Arabia is Islam
Saudi Arabia is the very womb from which Islam was birthed. Every significant event in the early development of Islam under Muhammad took place on the Arabian Peninsula. It was in Arabia that Muhammad was born, where he grew up, where he carried out his “prophetic” career, and where he died. Saudi Arabia is the home of both Mecca and Medina—unquestionably, the two most sacred cities to Muslims worldwide. Not a single non-Muslim is allowed in these cities. It is unarguable that Saudi Arabia—or most specifically, Mecca—is the spiritual capitol of Islam.
Mecca is perhaps more worthy of the title of “spiritual capitol” than any other city in the world. Whenever someone wishes to describe the archetypal epicenter of anything, they call it the “Mecca” of whatever it might happen to be. This is due to the fact that five times daily, multiplied millions of Muslims from every nation in the world “turn their face” in prayer toward Mecca. Islamic supply stores and Internet sites carry dozens of various electronic compasses in order to help Muslims always know the direction toward Mecca—no matter where they might find themselves.
And of course, every Muslim is expected at least once in their life to make a spiritual pilgrimage there in order to circle and approach the Ka’ba—the “Cube”—on which features a prominently embedded black rock, believed by the ancient Arabian pagans to have fallen from the sky—a meteor—and a remnant of ancient Babylonian astral worship.
It is there that millions of Muslims from all over the world bow and kiss this black rock—imitating their prophet. Saudi Arabia, to this day, does not allow any church or synagogue to exist on the entire Saudi peninsula.
The only recognized religion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is Islam. In short, Saudi Arabia is Islam. The two are so intertwined that, in fact, they cannot be separated.
Saudi Arabia is Radical Wahhabi Islam
Beyond all this, Saudi Arabia is also the ideological and financial source of the Wahhabi movement—or the Salafis, as they prefer to call themselves. In the 19th Century, when Ibn Saud, the patriarch of the Al Saud tribe was fighting for the consolidation of his tribal power, he forged an alliance with the patriarch of modern radical Sunni Islam, Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab.
Since those days, the House of Saud and the House of Wahhab have been inseparable. As one astute observer has commented, “[Together it is] Saud and Wahhabi, Wahhabi and Saud, that still rules Saudi Arabia.”
Wahhabism/Salafism today is essentially a Sunni Muslim reformation movement with the goal of returning to the practices of the earliest Muslims. Wahhabis/Salafis strive to purge Islam of any later introductions or innovations (bid’ah) that they claim compromise the purest expression of the Islam that Muhammad and his companions preached and practiced.
The tendency of Wahhabism is thus toward the most extreme expressions of Islam and is the primary ideological source of so many radical Sunni Muslims worldwide. We should not be surprised, then, to find out that Osama bin Laden and the majority of the ground soldiers of al Qaeda consist of those who identify with Wahhabi thought.
But beyond being the ideological source of radical Wahhabi Islam, Saudi Arabia is also undoubtedly the primary source of funding for Wahhabism worldwide. The point here is that beyond recognizing, as we said above, that Saudi Arabia itself is Islam, we may also quite rightly say that Saudi Arabia is radical Islam.
Islam is the Greatest Anti-Yahweh/Anti-Christ Religion That Has Ever Existed
We will not belabor all that has already been discussed regarding the anti-Yahweh and anti-Christ nature of Islamic theology. Nor will we redress the harsh anti-Semitic nature of Islam in this section. Suffice it to say that in light of these prominent features of Islam, as well as the incredible number of Muslims on the earth, Islam is indeed the premiere anti-Yahweh/anti-Christ religion that the world has ever known.
As the rulers over the land of Islam—”the Custodians of the Two Holy Mosques”—through her network of tentacles interwoven into numerous nations throughout the Muslim world, Saudi Arabia is of course in a very close relationship with the greater Islamic World.
On these two very important requirements—the necessity to be intimately related and connected to the emerging Islamic Empire and to be the representative of the greatest and most influential anti-Yahweh religion that has ever existed—Saudi Arabia fulfills these requirements perfectly.

💭 Chair of government-funded charity says Islam is “demonic”
Posted: Wed, 22 Feb 2023
The government recently gave thousands of pounds to a Christian group whose chair said Islam is “demonic” and “spiritual wickedness”, the National Secular Society has found.
Zion Projects, a Christian charity based in Eastleigh, Hampshire, is one of 16 religious organisations given a total of £1.3 million in public money as part of the government’s ‘Faith New Deal’ fund. Zion Projects was awarded £43,220 last year for a project entitled “As One Hampshire”.
In this 2020 video on Vimeo shows Danny Stupple, the chair and a trustee of Zion Projects, making anti-Islam comments during a Covid-19 lockdown meeting of the “Eastleigh Prophetic Hub”.
In the video, which opens with the Zion Projects logo, Stupple responds to a question about Islamic ‘calls to prayer’ being broadcast during lockdown by saying “a very strong force of spiritual wickedness known as Islam is engaging in warfare against the Lord with its open air prayers”.
He said that Islamic prayers are “one example” of “the enemy” trying to use the Covid-19 pandemic, adding that the Islamic system of belief “is truly demonic”.
He advised that anyone who hears the calls to prayers should “deny it power in Jesus’ name”, which is “more than able to deal with the spiritual forces of wickedness in those prayers”. He called such a scenario a “warfare context”.
The findings follow a recent report by Muslim advocacy group Mercy Mission UK which questioned the absence of Muslim organisations among recipients of ‘faith new deal’ grants. All but three of the recipients are Christian; two are interfaith organisations, and one is Jewish.
A freedom of information request to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLHC) found 351 organisations applied for Faith New Deal funding, including at least 21 Muslim groups.
The NSS has written to Baroness Scott of Bybrook, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at DHLC, to express its concerns and ask what checks were made on the recipients of Faith New Deal funding.
Stupple: Dominic Cummings ‘anointed’ to achieve Brexit
In the same video, Stupple also suggests God is using the pandemic to “make the point of the value of life” because he anticipates “the same amount of babies being saved as the number of people who die” as a result of women being unable to get abortions during lockdown.
He also claims that Brexit is “important to the Lord” and that Dominic Cummings has an “anointing” to accomplish it.
He says biblical creationists don’t “make the mistake of thinking like the world thinks with its evolutionary offer”, which “leads us into a wrong conclusion about the origin of things such as virus.”
Stupple ran as an independent candidate in the Eastleigh 2013 by-election. He opposed same-sex marriage as part of his campaign, saying “real marriage is between a man and a woman” in a campaign video.
Zion Projects was also awarded £19,750 by Hampshire County Council last year to “help to provide a range of projects including a community café”.
The ‘faith new deal’ fund
The government’s “Faith New Deal pilot scheme” was launched in 2021 for faith-based organisations that provide community services to “tackle issues affecting the most vulnerable”. Groups with no religious ethos were ineligible for funding.
The NSS has criticised the scheme as “discriminatory” and has raised concerns about the ethics of giving public money to faith groups which may have an agenda to proselytise. Several of the groups funded by the faith new deal require workers and volunteers to be Christians.
In addition, four groups with Christian connections received a total of nearly £1 million from the DLHC’s UK Community Ownership Fund, according to updates from the DLHC published this month. They included Barking’s Lifeline Church and Sawyers Church, both of which are affiliated with the Evangelical Alliance which opposes same-sex relationships.
The “As One” campaign
Zion Projects’ “As One Hampshire” project appears to be a local branch of the national “As One” campaign by Uturn UK, a Community Interest Company which promotes “street associations” to engender “civic responsibility and volunteering”. Church leaders are used to promote the street associations locally.

„For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
💭 James Biden secretly negotiated a $140 million settlement deal in 2012 between a U.S. company and the Saudi Arabian government due to his relationship with then-Vice President Joe Biden, court documents reveal.
The revelation represents one more instance of the Biden family business peddling influence while President Joe Biden was an elected official. House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-KY) reportedly already has copies of the court documents and is investigating the scandal as a part of his probe into the Biden family for nine violations, including wire fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.
Jim Biden admitted he was hired to negotiate with Saudis over a secret $140million deal ‘because of his position and relationship’ to his VP brother Joe -who would be ‘instrumental to the deal,’ bombshell affidavit claims
Affidavits claim Joe’s younger brother Jim was at the center of a $140m settlement between a US construction company and Saudi Arabia in 2012
Biden was selected because Saudi Arabia ‘would not dare stiff the brother of the Vice-President who would be instrumental to the deal’
Jim allegedly said: ‘Of course, the [Biden] name didn’t hurt’ as wife Sara said that Joe and his brother ‘told each other everything’
