The Devil’s Final Battle: TFP Author Uncovers the Truth about the Homosexual Movement

On October 22, 2024, TFP author Jose Antonio Ureta spoke in Lafayette, Louisiana, at the headquarters of Tradition, Family, and Property – Louisiana. He introduced his book, The Breached Dam – The Fiducia Supplicans Surrender to the Homosexual Movement, as part of a speaking tour throughout Texas and Louisiana.

The book outlines how Pope Francis’ declaration, Fiducia Supplicans, helps promote the homosexual agenda inside the Church. He presented evidence that shows how prophetic Sister Lucy, the Fatima seer, was, when she wrote that, “the Devil’s final battle will be over marriage and the family.”

A Veteran in Defense of the Church

Jose Antonio Ureta is originally from Chile, but now resides in France, where he is a senior scholar and researcher of the French Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property. He is also a member of the Plinio Correa de Oliveira Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a founding member of Fundacion Roma, one of Chile’s most influential pro-life and pro-family organizations, and a director of the John Paul II Academy of Human Life and the Family.

 He co-authored The Synodal Process is a Pandora’s Box with Mr. Julio Loredo de Izcue in 2023, with a foreword by Cardinal Raymond Burke. The Breached Dam was also co-authored with Mr. Loredo, and published earlier this year in 8 languages.

Are Catholic Campuses Truly Catholic

Thomas Drake, the President of Tradition, Family, and Property – Louisiana, set the tone for Mr. Ureta’s talk in Lafayette, Louisiana when he asked the audience, “When we send our children to a Catholic college, or even high school, we don’t expect them to be confronted with an LGBTQ+ drive on campus to recruit them to a sinful lifestyle!…or do we?” Given the times, many in the audience replied they would not be shocked if this happened.

This Struggle is not New

During his talk, Mr. Ureta explained how the pro-LGBTQ lobby has infiltrated into the religious sphere. As early as the seventies, organizations like Soulforce and the Catholic Theological Society of America were presenting documents hostile to Church teaching on points of human sexuality.

Soulforce stated its mission saying, “We believe that religion has become the primary source of false and inflammatory misinformation…The Roman Catholic Church teaches that our orientation is ‘objectively disordered’ and our acts of intimacy ‘intrinsically evil’…Our goal is to confront and eventually replace these tragic untruths…”

In 1977, the Catholic Theological Society of America commissioned Fr. Anthony Kosnik to edit a collective work on Human Sexuality: New Directions in American Catholic Thought. The author argues that, “the Bible does not provide us with a simple yes or no code of sexual ethics,” and he dared to criticized the Catholic tradition for insisting that moral aberrations, like sodomy, bestiality, and so on, are considered intrinsically evil acts, under no circumstances justifiable.

The LGBT Movement is a Moral Revolution

Another pioneer in pro-homosexual activism in the seventies, Paul Varnell, wrote in the Chicago Free Press, “So, the gay movement, whether we acknowledge it or not, is not a civil rights movement, not even a sexual liberation movement, but a moral revolution aimed at changing people’s view of homosexuality.”

Thus, Mr. Ureta stressed the poison behind the phenomenon of the sexual revolution, both inside and outside the Church.  He said, this revolution aims at a total upheaval of Catholic doctrine and societal norms centered on the family.

The Case of Fiducia Supplicans

In light of this offensive against morality, Mr. Ureta explained Pope Francis’ latest declaration, Fiducia Supplicans and what the faithful’s reaction should be. 

The document contradicts an earilier declaration by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2021, which states, “it is not licit to impart a blessing on relationships, or partnerships, even stable, that involve sexual activity outside of marriage (…), as is the case of the unions between persons of the same sex.”

The Devil’s Final Battle: TFP Author Uncovers the Truth about the Homosexual Movement

In 2023, Fiducia Supplicans, stated the exact opposite. It admits, “the possibility of blessings for couples in irregular situations and for couples of the same sex, the form of which should not be fixed ritually by ecclesial authorities to avoid producing confusion with the blessing proper to the Sacrament of Marriage.”

The declaration was signed by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez and approved by the Pope. it stipulates that the blessing should not be given in a ceremonial fashion, but spontaneously, with no resemblance to a civil union.

Four Fallacies in Fiducia Supplicans

Mr. Ureta then pointed out four major fallacies present in the declaration.

The first was the invention of the “pastoral blessing.” The declaration, he said, contrasts this new category with the previous category of liturgical blessings. Fiducia Supplicans states that these pastoral blessings differ from liturgical blessings because they do not necessitate prior moral perfection.

 However, Mr. Ureta pointed out that the Church has never made prior moral perfection a necessity, since the priest blesses all the faithful at the end of Mass, some of whom may not be in the state of Grace. Moreover, blessings fall under the category of sacramentals, such as holy water, which can be given even to non-Catholics, if they sincerely ask for them.

The problem with this new pastoral blessing is not the need for prior moral perfection, but the  scandal it would impart, by giving a visual approval of the state of practicing homosexuals.

The second was the assertion that blessing the couple does not necessarily bless the union. The subterfuge consists in trying to distinguish between the couple and the union, when what makes a couple is that which unites them. In this case, the unifying factor is the homosexual way of life and to bless sin is impossible.

The third is that partners only ask their relationship to be blessed in their positive aspects. However, a person cannot pretend that the different aspects of their conjugal relationship can be placed in watertight compartments to be considered separately.

Even so, Mr. Ureta continued, the “positive aspects” themselves, in such a relationship, may contribute to sustaining their sinful lifestyle, while impeding any genuine conversion which grace may otherwise obtain. Blessing that which keeps a sinful relationship together may entrench them even deeper and farther away from God.

The last fallacy  is the attempt to separate the Church’s pastoral action from Her doctrine. This way of thinking underestimates the gravity of sin and its consequences. If  doctrine is separate from pastoral care, why then did Jesus instruct the adulteress and the other sinners He converted to, “Go and sin no more.” (John 8:11)

We Must Resist

Mr. Ureta’s timely talk encouraged all the faithful to resist the implementation of Fiducia Supplicans. He recalled the Christmas message of Cardinal Robert Sarah, who wrote about resisting the declaration, “In doing so, one is not opposing Pope Francis but rather standing firmly and radically against a heresy that severely undermines the Church, the Body of Christ, as it contradicts Catholic Faith and Tradition.”

To finish, Mr. Ureta left the audience with these inspiring words, “This is our calling: to engage in the final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan, a struggle that Sr. Lucy foretold would be fought ‘over marriage and the family.’ We must approach this fight with courage, remembering that ‘Our Lady has already crushed his head.’”

Catholics Make Reparation for Katy Church “Pride Festival”

On October 19, 2024, a group of faithful Catholics gathered at the side of the road to oppose a “pride” event hosted by a group that calls itself “First Christian  Church.” Among the protesters were a contingent from Tradition, Family, Property-Texas.

This church drew controversy in September 2022 for organizing an “All-Ages Drag Queen Bingo.” At the time, hundreds of protestors and dozens of counter-protestors gathered, including armed Antifa. Riot police were called to prevent the leftists from attacking the peaceful prayerful protesters.  

Jesus Condemns Homosexual Sin

No real Christian would support any LGBTQ+ agenda, as it contradicts the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church and Sacred Scripture. As Saint Paul clearly teaches in his letters to the Corinthians and the Galatians; the unrighteous – and practicing homosexuals – will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9 and Galatians 5:19-21).

A “pride” event hosted by a group that calls itself “First Christian  Church”

Two Muslim young men approached the rosary rally and said, “this LGBTQ festival is an abomination. Even though we are Muslim, we know what Christians stand for and they are against homosexuality.”

Children Robbed of Their Innocence

This First Christian Church’s pride festival had drag queens immodestly dressed. They were dancing in provocative ways in front of young children. The event included a drag queen story time where children aged 4-10 watched and were wearing ‘pride’ clothing while dancing provocatively to irreverent music. A tragic scene unfolded where the children yelled insults at those who were peacefully praying for their conversion.

This First Christian Church’s pride festival had drag queens immodestly dressed

Rally participant Gayle felt very strongly about opposing the drag queen story time saying: “‘First Christian Church’ is a misnomer. Our Lord was very clear when he said, ‘If any man scandalizes the little ones, it would be better to have a millstone tied around his neck and be cast into the sea.’ They are not doing the work of Jesus. They are doing the work of Satan.”

Anthony Atilano, a TFP—Texas volunteer said, “Drag queen story time is child abuse. The little children are having their innocence robbed from them before they even have a chance to defend themselves.” 

Is this not grooming? Scandalizing little children so that they grow up accepting homosexual sin as normal while despising those who speak the truth is truly abusive.  

The police officers present told a TFP—Texas volunteer that they had no idea the event would be an LGBTQ pride festival. One said, “We feel betrayed. We were told it was going to be at a church festival…” 

Those protesting felt sickened by the church’s use of religion to change sin and disguise it as diversity or normal.

Determined to Fight the Good Fight

Overall, rosary rally turnout was excellent with zealous Catholics fighting for God’s truth and defending the innocence of children. In addition, the protesters influenced those who passed by to consider fighting the good fight.

 “Sacrificing your time and efforts to publicly console God and defend children’s innocence is time well spent. Rosario Ramos did a very good job leading the rally,” said Cameron, a rosary rally participant from Katy.

Co-Author of The Breached Dam Shows How Fiducia Supplicans Breaks with Church Teaching

In light of the Synod on Synodality and the Vatican document Fiducia Supplicans, concerned Catholics from all over the Houston area gathered on October 16 for a special talk to better understand and oppose the subversion of the homosexual agenda inside the Church.

Tradition, Family and Property-Texas (TFP) and America Needs Fatima sponsored the event at the downtown Milford House, which included a book signing and reception.

Senior French TFP Member José António Ureta, co-author of the book The Breached Dam: The Fiducia Supplicans Surrender to the Homosexual Movement, delivered the talk “The Devil’s Final Battle Over Marriage and Family: Can the Church Surrender to the Homosexual Movement?”

Co-Author of The Breached Dam Shows How Fiducia Supplicans Breaks with Church Teaching

Mr. Ureta and his Italian TFP co-author Julio Loredo de Izcue put together a hard-hitting work of just over one hundred pages that documents the gradual process of how the homosexual movement “subverted the Church with homoheresy.” It sadly relates to the efforts of Church officials to introduce the normalization of homosexual sin. However, it also outlines the more recent documents and declarations of other officials affirming the perennial teachings of the Church.

After its May 27 publication, with copies in eight languages, the work was sent to all the world’s bishops. In the United States, the book was mailed to all the cardinals, bishops, priests, deacons and lay brothers, making a total of 41,000 copies sent.

Mr. Ureta’s talk provided excellent insights into the proposals being discussed at the Synod.

Fiducia supplicans: A Surrender to the Homosexual Movement

Mr. Ureta explained how the document Fiducia Supplicans legitimized the blessings of “irregular” couples and homosexual couples. Mr. Ureta unmasked the five main fallacies of Fiducia Supplicans and how they constitute a surrender to the homosexual movement.

“The document insinuates that what the homosexual pair is asking for is only that the ‘positive’ aspects of their union be blessed. However, in a relationship that claims to be conjugal, the different aspects of the pair’s life cannot be separated into watertight compartments, some positive and others negative,” stated the speaker.

Mr. Ureta continued, “In reality, even what some might consider positive elements (e.g., affection, fidelity, and mutual support) contribute to maintaining the sinful relationship and hinder conversion. The more ‘positive’ such aspects appear to be, the more they constitute near occasions of sin, if not the very foundation for the structure of sin ensnaring these two individuals.”

Fiducia Supplicans represents a break with the Church’s traditional teaching on the Sixth Commandment, the intrinsically sinful nature of any use of the sexual faculties outside marriage, and the scandal that premarital, adulterous, and homosexual relationships and unions represent to the faithful and society. 

“The evening was magnificent. Mr. Jose Antonio Ureta spoke so clearly regarding the crisis in the Church, and I was happy to see that there were around 100 people at the talk,” commented Elvia Leyva, one of the attendees.

Co-Author of The Breached Dam Shows How Fiducia Supplicans Breaks with Church Teaching

The speaker asserted the right of the faithful to resist teachings contrary to those of the Supreme Magisterium of the Catholic Church, while not revolting against the authorities spreading them. Indeed, the book arms concerned clergy and laity alike with the doctrinal insight and facts necessary to defend the immutable Catholic teaching against those seeking to change it.

Mr. Ureta ended his talk with a few words of encouragement and hope: “We must keep fighting this final battle over marriage and family, knowing that Our Lady has already crushed the head of Satan and guaranteed us victory.”
