The media distributed information that in the third reading in the Vatican, amendments to the Bible were adopted, according to which homosexual relations will no longer be considered sinful. According to media reports, it remains only for the signature under the document to put the Pope. We decided to check whether this really happened.

Information appeared on the Israeli Russian -speaking portal MIGNEWS, on the website of the Lithuanian edition Obzor.ltas well as on the Orthodox Portals And in social networks. The materials of the media said that “the corresponding project was developed back in 2019 under the pressure of the LGBT community, but it was possible to accept it only now”, and the commentary of the representative of the Papal Commission to improve the main Christian document Henri Castelo was given: “These amendments actually display representatives of the LGBT community from the action of God's Kara for the lack of composition of sin”.

To begin with, it is worth noting that the Bible in Christianity is a collection of texts that make up the Holy Scriptures. It consists of the texts of the Old and New Testament and tells about the story, starting with the creation of the world and ending with the revelation of the John the Theologian (Apocalypse). At the same time, the text of the Bible has really changed over the years, but not due to “amendments”, but due to the inclusion or exclusion of additional texts from it. For example, the Catholic Church in 1546 at the Trudent Cathedral Included In the canonical composition of the Bible, the so -called second -handic books: the book of Tovita, the book of Judith, the book of wisdom of Solomon, the book of wisdom of Jesus, the son of Sirakhov, the book of the Prophet Varukha with the Epistle of Jeremiah, the first book of the McCave and second book of the McCave. And in 1896 the Orthodox Church Excluded The book of the Prophet Varukha and the message of Jeremiah from the canonical text of the Bible.

The news also said that the amendments were adopted in the third reading. Indeed, in the Russian legislative system, three reading in the State Duma, the adoption of the Federation Council, and then the signature of the president, are necessary for the adoption of the law. However, significant church decisions Accepted At the Ecumenical Councils-meetings of the episcopate, as a result of which decisions of the doctrinal (dogmatic), church-political and forensic disciplinary characters are made. At the same time, according to the Orthodox version, such cathedrals It happened Only seven (before the division of the church into Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox), and according to the Catholic - even more than 20. In the context of the separation of churches, the conduct of the cathedral corresponding to all canons is impossible. Catholicism also exists positionAccording to which, thanks to the papal infallibility, uttered by a pontiff from the department is considered a general church law. However, such a right I used it Only Pius XII, who proclaimed from the department a dogma about the ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary, later confirmed at the II Vatican Cathedral. Thus, the adoption of significant decisions in the Vatican could be carried out only by two ways: the convocation of the Ecumenical Council and the adoption of its decision or by the proclamation of the approval of the pontiff from the department, and not “the third reading”.

Already such rude actual mistakes give reason to doubt the veracity of the news. On the official website of the Vatican, when searching in English, similar news detect failed. The closest to the date of publication and meaning the news in Italian reports that the Pope Sent A letter with the words of support to father James Martin, who conducts his pastoral work among LGBT. The publication dates from June 27, 2021, and there are no references to “third reading”, “amendments” or “the exclusion of the sinfulness of homosexual relations”. News about such amendments in Russian also Not found. But in Russian it was possible to detect The source News - site of satirical news "Panorama".

Moreover, in 2020, Pope Francis expressed In support of the rights of same -sex couples to create civilian unions: “Sobly people have the right to be a family. They are the children of God and have the right to the family. ” The official Vatican at the same time I do not agree With a pontiff: "It is unacceptable to give a blessing to the same -sex unions, since marriage is an inextricable union of a man and a woman concluded for the birth of a new life."

Thus, the news of the adoption of amendments to the Bible in the third reading, excluding the sinfulness of homosexual relations, was released by the satirical publication of Panorama, and the journalists who distributed it, apparently, did not bother with the verification and did not pay attention to the source of information.
