Father TikTok mocks Mass and wants to rewrite the Catechism




Father Matthieu Jasseron, known for his relativism and by his nickname of Father TikTok was interviewed at length in La Croix. 

Father TikTok is known for his vile online parodies of the Mass. 

He quietly evokes the idea of rewriting the Catechism:

[...] The Catechism of the Church says in black and white that we must welcome and offer a path to God to everyone, including homosexuals. I have therefore tried to follow it by trying to show that we must not judge because each conscience is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I may have been hasty in my wording and I would like to apologise to those who may have been surprised by what I said, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that homosexuality or its practice is a sin, and nowhere in the chapter that talks about homosexuality in the Catechism of the Catholic Church either.

But then, what about paragraph 2396 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography and homosexual practices"?

This paragraph is a summary of the chapter on the affective and sexual life, but in this synthesis a new thesis appears which was not included in the pages it aims to summarise. We learn that homosexuality is classified as a "sin against chastity". And what is even more surprising is that, when we read the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church, nowhere does this notion of "sin against chastity" exist. So here again appears something new, in a summary, something that has not been developed anywhere before, and a new element not previously explained...

The summaries are not the theological development of the Catechism. It is the chapters that make up the contents of the subject. How can one accept in a synthesis new notions outside the thesis?

A little above, there is also mention of "serious depravity", of "intrinsically disordered" acts: are these not the very passages that some associations of homosexuals are asking to be rewritten?

Yes, and because the Catechism, which dates from 1992, is no longer up to date, as the passage on the death penalty shows. Our contemporaries, who are often far from the Church, wonder whether this or that action, this or that dimension of their being, is sinful. Sin frightens them - surely with good reason - but they have a fantasised image of it. But there are many Christians on social networks, evangelicals, Catholics and others, who present homosexuality as a very serious sin, implying that people will burn for eternity. I don't believe that this is the reality or what is written in the Catechism: nowhere in the tradition of the Catholic Church does it say that it is a sin that will lead us to fire for eternity.

Afterwards, the texts describe this reality with words that we must know how to receive and interpret. The words "depravity" or "intrinsically disordered acts" are not clear to people, and surely very hurtful. They would benefit from being clarified and even more pastoral. People who live with people of the same sex and try to love them in the spirit of what Jesus presented to us are more visible than a hundred years ago. This is a social issue, and the Church must have an honest discourse, in line with what it has understood from Jesus, but also understandable to our contemporaries.

The Catechism would benefit from being updated with the beauty of theology that thinks freshly about the reality of our time. It is a question of always better refining the reality of what God has transmitted to us in order to allow our contemporaries a path that helps them to go towards God.

Obviously, Father Jasseron did not read Paragraphs 2357 to 2359. Here they are:

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. 

141. Cf. Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10. 

142. CDF, Persona humana 8. 

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. 2347 (all)

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

And never has there been a more shocking video.  The authorities ignore this while trying to supress the Latin Mass.  Something has gone horribly wrong.
