Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, Archbishop of Algiers, has written a preface for a heterodox book affirming homosexuality as 'part of the order of creation,' directly contradicting the Catholic Catechism's designation of homosexual acts as 'intrinsically disordered,' while praising Pope Francis' Fiducia Supplicans as a doctrinal advance. The story signals accelerating doctrinal erosion within the Catholic Church, with senior clergy publicly dismantling biblical sexual ethics — a pattern Scripture associates with the apostasy preceding the end times. Paul warned that a time would come when people 'will not endure sound doctrine' and would turn from truth to their own desires (2 Timothy 4:3–4).
