Late last evening, the Vatican released the latest "Apostolic Exhortation" from the Bishop of Rome.
In it, he derogates contemplative Orders. You know, those are the Religious Nuns and Monks and and Anchorites throughout history, who even in the Old Testament, sought to escape the world and pray and contemplate God. Once, I heard Raymond Arroyo answer someone who opined that those Nuns of Mother Angelica didn't really do anything, - they didn't nurse, or feed the poor or march in protests or ride buses. Arroyo's answer was clear and I will paraphrase, "The fact that the bus that just missed you when you were crossing the road and did not run you over and kill you was due to the prayers of those Nuns!"
Bergoglio has chastised and insulted thousands of Nuns and Monks in today's world and in history and has accused them of not properly loving or serving Christ, calling it "not healthy," that they "seek the prayer and belittle the service." When did they "belittle the service?" When is prayer, not "service?"
Contradicts Our Lord Jesus Christ
Luke 10:38-42 38 Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word. 40 But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? speak to her therefore, that she help me. 41 And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her. Douay-Rheims translation of the Latin Vulgate
It is clear that in the mind of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus, that the contemplation of Mary was the "best part." Not that Martha's active service was not of value and important but that Mary's contemplation was better.
What an evil, dastardly and diabolical thing to say. What a lie. What a filthy, stinking slander against those Saints of history and those praying to be one today. He goes so far as to question the Holy Spirit's action because it does not conform to his diabolical "god of surprises."
This man, this Pope in law, has again disgraced the Faith. Again he has mocked Catholics, today and throughout history who have attempted against all odds to follow Jesus and live a holy life. He is a disgrace.
No man who truly has a Catholic heart could write such bile, such slander.
I will no read the rest of this pathetic document.
Nor will I relent on the pressure that must be brought to bear on this evil man.
O God, deliver us from this man Jorge Bergoglio and his evil minions. Convert them or take them to Your judgement. Send to us, O LORD, in Your mercy, a holy Pope who will "restore all things in Christ."

Oh no! What's a religious to do? Didn't pope Idiotus just say that they should not proselytize, evangelize, advertise? If they don't "imprison" themselves in their cloisters, they are in danger of someone noticing that they are Catholic.
How long Lord? How long?
Keep it coming Bergoglio!Deeper and deeper into the pit he drops.His mouth is bringing him down in flames.
"Not healthy." Bergoglio does not measure things in spiritual terms, but solely in the scales of this world. He does not conform his mind to the mind of Christ--which may be why he is holding his pectoral cross in his hand, concealing and controlling it, in one and the same gesture--in the photo you post above.
That he and his minions have chosen today, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, when The Word became Incarnate in the Holy Virgin, is carefully chosen, like releasing the no Hell storm during Holy Week. They are of the diabolical disorientation, the synagogue of Satan, the anti catholics of the Operation of Error. They are not catholics and he is not the pope but an imposter.
The busybody has no use for contemplation. Hence the quality of his thought. I guess there is no longer any hope that he would tire of running around wrecking beautiful things, and become a contemplative monk?
One of my worst fears has become reality. I have long prayed that the Church formally declare the infamous “Seamless Garment” what it is: a heresy. Instead, the Exhortation has given papal validation to it, using Cardinal Bernardin’s own words:
101. “‘Our defense of the innocent unborn’ needs to be ‘clear, firm and passionate, for at stake is the dignity of a human life, which is always sacred and demands love for each person, regardless of his or her stage of development. Equally sacred, however, are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned and the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and elderly exposed to covert euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new forms of slavery, and every form of rejection’”.
PF's malign exercise of the Papal Office has brought the Papacy into disrepute & making a farce out of the OHC&A Church. If we lose Apostolic Succession we are no better than the other schismatic faiths & I believe this is PF's intention - no Catholic God, no Hell, even un-repented grave sin is forgiven. No need for Ten Commandments & Scripture turned on its face, as there were no tape recorders then to verify Christ's Word.
The man is himself an infidel & should never have been even ordained nor consecrated a Bishop. He is a plant & must be denounced for his infidelity to Christ & taken off the Throne of Peter without further delay. His Exhortations, Homilies & Episcopal Appointments can then be binned leaving the way open to a proper Conclave to be conducted according to PJPII's rules.
I agree with Anonymous 8:46. Bergoglio isn’t just an evil man, he is teaching evil, pretending it is the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church, pretending that the evil teaching is from Christ’s VICAR on Earth. He has no protection from the Holy Ghost, there is no way in the Hell that surely does exist, the POPE. NO WAY.
Monasticism is the key load bearing walls that modernism must destroy if it has any hope of destroying the Church. The rejection of monasticism is the bulk of Protestantism is precisely why Protestantism has fallen so far, and precisely why the Spirit of Vatican II has been so destructive. IMO, this is precisely why we need someone with a strong Monastic bent like Cardinal Sarah to be the next Pope. It's not enough to value monasticism as Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Saint John Paul II certainly did, we need to evangelize monasticism as a foundational part of Catholicism if there is any hope of a restoration of the faith.
@StephenLowe – According to agent Q (allegedly, a White House or administration insider): "[Pope] is going to have a terrible May. Those who backed him will be pushed into the LIGHT. Dark to LIGHT. TRUTH. Q"
The monks of Mt Athos will happily pray for you.

Many are called ,few are chosen.
Poop Francis strikes again!
The destroyer continue to destroy and wreak havoc and cause scandal. There is a great hatred for holiness from many in the places of power and responsibility...and that is damnable. Take, for example, the Franciscans of the Immaculate, a very holy institute: The contemplative branches were the first to be dissolved! (contemplatives being as the "gas in the engine" which is so desperately needed in our modernist Church). Some of the sisters escaped to the Carmelites, who are also now under assault, and others were dispersed. Somewhere around 20 of the friaries have been closed and all in Australia. The 'powers' hate an Institute with as much prayer and also the promotion of devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Our Lady. And with all the fallout over the past decades, and the destruction of many holy Orders, the whole world has suffered. "Action" is not prayer and unless a soul is in a state of grace is not meritorious for heaven. It does not necessarily put God first which is, after all, the First Commandment.

I started reading the Google translation of it but even GoogleTranslate couldn't keep up. Most of what I read was in Spanish and I got only as far as the Second Beatitude.
I was thoroughly amused by how Google translated "Senor" not as "Lord" but "Sir" and "Mr." I.e., Sir God, Mr. God.
Pope Francis is an extreme modernist. He's only doing what extreme modernists do. He can't help it. He's committed to changing the Church, because he believes that he has to do so. I think it has to do with his upbringing, which, according to him, was quite rigid and focused on sin. IMO, he's over-reacting, and thinking that sin really isn't sin, and that God forgives everything without the person actually being sorry for sin. He's also quite self-centered. He never really grew up, as far as I can tell. He needs prayers.

I read it and agree with most of it. Rosary counting isn’t enough.
The heresy of Americanism is now the heresy du jour. Congratulations, John Courtney Murray, wherever you are.
A blessed feast of the Annunciation to all. May Our Immaculate Queen protect and keep you.

Silly Vox...
Don't you realize that all those large portions of time spent on contemplation and adoration, could've instead been put at the service of the state and taxed for the sake of the poor?
I'm pretty sure it was the greatest saint and apostle who said that! One who knew well the art of kissing!
The battles the contemplatives fight and the enemies they face are invisible and require belief in the supernatural just to see and understand. Therefore, the Pope does not believe in the supernatural and should be dismissed from the office of Vicar of Christ.
He's running out of targets for his destruction.
In his boxing match with Christ he makes time to insult Catholicism between rounds.
This man is full of venom. He knows full well how these insults and this mockery is received, and he's enjoying that.
It is stunning to see that Christ can be mocked, the Church can be rent, the faith can be trod under foot, the martyrs cast aside and the poor sheep treated badly, and not one Cardinal will utter the words we need to hear, "Consider the pope and his words anathema, have nothing to do with either of them for the good of your own soul".
Again I ask, why do those bishops wear red! They are unwilling to even suffer inconvenience!
The martyrs would stand aghast at these occupiers.
Stephen,
Interesting that the Pope does not genuflect to Christ at Mass. He is a radical materialist Marxist enviormentalist.
Josef Piper's book Leisure, the basis of culture refutes and shows so clearly how contemplation is the core of all great human culture and being. Worshiping God and Christ is the very core of out relationship with Transcendent God!!!! Doing "good works" and working only is truly a form of Sub-humanism ,a material wasteland, that pretends to be human and satisfying only our animal lower instincts..food, sex, rest/sleep and distraction, games.
The pope denounces worldliness but this is totally worldly to be locked in and immanentizing the truth of our Faith to works of so called virtue signalling "mercy". The beginning of wisdom is fear ( awe) of God. There is very little wisdom here, just worldliness and the power to pontificate and hear his own voice. The tyranny of nice happy talk. I am sad for him, the pope, to be that blind of Gods glory that only comes from deep prayer. Pity him, truly a lost soul.
Contemplate more, contemplate eternal mysteries ,be still, say your prayers and adore Him. Learn and pray the Divine Office. Study and teach your children these wonders.
This will pass because God always takes down the proud that are blind and worship the self and human doing. When you have met Christ and the God in contemplation your faith grows because it is a living relationship and prayer is the conversation keeping it joyfully alive.
Peace be with you, pray always.
Stephen
The time may have arrived to completely ignore this braying jackass in white.
Bergoglio is like opposite Pope for me. He says there is no hell so then I know definitively there is a hell. He says contemplative orders are no good so it's really important that you contemplate. Pretty much anything he says I kind of look at the opposite and think of that must be true. Personally, I'm finding him very helpful
The foundation of the Ten Commandments, the first four: essential facets of honor, reverence, worship of God.
The *first* and *greatest* commandment? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, body, strength.
Upon this, hangs all the law and the prophets.
Service to others and charity is not exclusive to reverence for God. They do, in fact, depend upon loving God first. Loving our neighbor must be sourced in our prior love of God.
The "Pope" is, of course wrong. We were created by God, for God, to love God forever; an eternal choir of praise before God's Holy Throne.
These continued ignorant and demeaning comments are priests and religious are unbelievable, especially coming from our so called Pope.
He doesn't appear to have the ability to put his own narrow views aside for the good of the Universal Church and he will answer for this when he dies.
I admit I haven't read this, but I question whether this man has addressed purity and chastity in his exhortation? We are called to be pure and chaste. This leads to holiness! This is the way of the saints and any document that doesn't address this most basic truth is just misleading.
The Holy Spirit directs the contemplatives...to criticize them is to criticize the Holy Spirit. This Vicar of Christ is beyond the pale.
I read it soon after the official English translation came out. It felt as though PF slapped me in the face upon reflecting on it. I felt like crying. It was *so* personal. He doesn't know me at all, but this is very demoralizing to anyone who may be feeling faint stirrings to join orders and such. His absolute refusal to bring together all of the elements of how people become - prayer is indeed highlighted, but prayer is much more important than he makes it out to be, since he also insists one must also be active to make a mark - makes me so upset. He is directly contradicting the wisdom of such saints as St. Francis de Sales, St. Thomas a Kemphis and St. Teresa of Avila. Argh.
This man, Pope Francis, is a formal heretic and I question whether or not he believes in the Catholic God. (There, I said it.) I pray I have not condemned myself for saying such a thing.
Does anyone know of a psychological profile of the Boil? One that describes his relationship mainly with his father but within his family as well? There must be much to explain his rage, his obsession with fecal matter and his contempt for those who would seek to please the Father in the old ways.

Dear Anil Wang, there is no need to "restore" the Faith. The Faith is alive and well, as it always has been and will be. It cannot be reduced, damaged, or disfigured. It is indefectible and infallible and protected from teaching error by the Holy Ghost Himself. No, the Faith does not need to be restored - Catholics just need to recall and practice the immutable Faith and let the judeo-masonic apostates be anathema.
I guess Pope Benedict XVI is covered here, therefore, Bergoglio should not have a problem if he emerges from his life of contemplative prayer, and emerge he he will, by the Grace and power of almighty God. He has the authority to correct error,
