The Leonine Synodal Church may very well allow Gay Marriage. With Characters like Fr. Jimmy Martin having Celebrity status and ABBA songs adopted by the Gay movement, being played at last Wednesday's General Audience, you may well be proved correct, Joe. The Bergoglian Leonine Synodal Church was founded by Jorge himself. So, it can defect. In Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943), Pius XII, of Happy Memory, teaches that the Vulgate is error free regarding Faith and Morals. He was reiterating what was already taught at Trent. The Vulgate of St. Jerome condemns Sodomy: (Douay-Rheims Romans 1:27) "And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy". Sacred Scripture is De Fide. I think Joe, you need to look at the first clause in the Tridentine Definition of Matrimony: "The Conjugal Union of MAN and WOMAN, contracted between two qualified persons, which obliges them to live together throughout life". It doesn't say MAN and MAN for example. So the Leonine Church with its Luciferian Logic, may well ultimately approve Gay Marriage. The Indefectibe One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church uses normal logic. Being founded by Christ our King, its teaching on Matrimony will not develop to allow Gay Marriage. Pius VII, of Happy Memory, in Auctorem Fidei, teaches "Ambiguity can never be tolerated in a synod, of which the principal glory consists above all in teaching the truth with clarity and excluding all danger of error ". This ties in nicely with Dei Filius from Vatican I on doctrinal development. In Eternity Joe, we will find out which of us is correct. I am Happy to submit my opinion to the judgement of the Holy Ghost.

The Roman Catechism is the Catechism of the Council of Trent (Catechismus ex decreto Concilii Tridentini ad Parochos). Trent commanded its composition, for the use of the clergy in their preaching, and it was composed by a group of theologians led by St Carlo Borromeo, and promulgated by Pius V in 1566 three years after the Council. It's not so much a case of Pius locutus est (sic, he was not trans) as of Ecclesia locuta est. It provided the framework of Catholic teaching for four centuries. Possibly one might cull phrases from its section on the sacrament of matrimony that would apply to same-sex unions, e.g. 'marriage consists properly and essentially only in that obligation and bond which is expressed by the word "union"'. The document underlines that conjugal union differs from all other unions among human beings. The big innovation of Trent was to define dogmatically that Matrimony is one of the seven Sacraments (thought the idea is found in Innocent IV, profession of faith for the Waldensians, 1208, and the Council of Florence, 1439. Trent reflects the DEVELOPMENT of this full-blown Catholic teaching on matrimony. It is perfectly possible that a future Council will extend the definition of matrimony to cover same-sex marriage as well,

To Harriet Shaw Weaver he laments, in 1935: ‘As usual I am in a minority of one. If I tell people that no tenor voice like Sullivan’s has been heard in the world for 50 years or that Zaporoyetz, the Russian basso, make Chaliapin sound like a cheap whistle or that nobody has ever written English prose that can be compared with that of a tiresome footling little Anglican parson who afterwards became a prince of the only true church they listen in silence. These names mean nothing to them. And when I have stumbled out of the room no doubt they tap their foreheads and sigh.’ (Letters 1.365). Inside James Joyce is a UCD student, an ardent Newmanite, struggling to be heard as the Joyceans celebrate him as a militant atheist. See my debate with Geert Lernout in "Irreducible Ireland" (Nagoya: Chisokudo, 2024). Joyce said to Jacques Mercanton: "The Church will surely decide to make a saint of him, if only for the numerous conversions that have followed in the wake of his own."
