My precious

I was going to write about the hand and mouth game conducted yesterday in Rome by Jorge Bergoglio. Then, I read this. It says it all, much nicer than I could be.

However, I will write this.

True humility is accepting your station in life, even when you don't like something about it.

The man is a disgraceful boor.

Apropos the Bergoglio's "hand to hand" game:
Loreto is the sanctuary of the House of Nazareth owned by the Holy Family. The lady of this house is the Blessed Virgin Herself and by exposing this rude behavior of this guy from the end of the world, She shows us that he is non-pope. The honor of the master of the house is fulfilled by Pope Sixtus V in the bronze monument welcoming pilgrims at the entrance to Loreto's basilica. This great benefactor of this sanctuary was called the "iron pope", because to restore order in Rome and the Papal States, he sentenced thousands of bandits and clergy along with their lovers to the gallows. He belonged to the Franciscan order, so the true Francis appears in the background. The Franciscan Sixtus V, the Iron Pope, is an excellent prefiguration of the One "who was to rule all nations with an iron rod" [Reveletian 12, 5b] - that usurper in Vatican will not escape attention of the Paraclete.
Like Sixtus V in Piazza Madonna in Loreto, the Paraclete awaits his own, this little remnant, outside the collapsing Roman Catholic church - He will lead them to the Kingdom of God on earth. We have to ask Our Lord to reveal the Paraclete and shorten the time of tribulations.

Word is that Francis is "amused" by the reaction of the faithful.

Tell me, what kind of shepherd gets "amused" at causing distress among his sheep?

Irenaeus said...

A shepherd who has no sense of himself being a shepherd.

He's allergic to Catholics.

@MyronM: Look forward to all such comments from you. A few drops of water in the desert.

The ring of the fisherman just wasn't feeling active today.

So it went into hidden contemplation mode.

That's probably why later Bergolio was delivering winking overtures to the 'craftsmen of fraternity' whose faithlessness he holds close to his heart.

You all know who those guys are!

It's high time kissing bishops' rings disappears altogether. It's just ridiculous and has nothing to do with tradition. It's an import from monarchies. Much of the pomp around bishops should be ditched," tweeted Jesuit priest Russell Pollitt. https://www.rte.ie/news/newslens/2019/0326/1038744-pope-ring/

Vox
Is not Bergoglio, in effect, giving the middle finger to these people? What a blue chip charlatan.

Johnno said...

Let Mr. 'Jesuit priest Russell Pollitt' know that all us Catholics will be happy to comply...

But only if they don't hold back and also remove such 'ridiculous traditional imports' such as never doing physical harm or violence and giving very generous room for charitable presumption of innocence & orthodoxy to priests such as him.

Obviously all this is an import alongside the kisses, pomp and splendour that goes along with such offices.

So if our dear Mr. Russell wants to be treated less like a priest of God, and more like a common politician, then we ought also to lynch him as one, cast eggs, and tar and feather him physically or on social media or both.

But something tells me that Mr. (obviously not Fr.) Pollitt will be the first one complaining about any lack of respect and reverence coming his way from the sheep.

What a rude, uncouth pig this imposter is! Is there anybody left who seriously believes that this minion of satan is the Pope? The Vicar of Christ? What more do we need to know about the intentions of the judeo-masonic invaders? We know who they are; where they came from; what there strategies are and what their goal is. Our solution as Catholics is simple and obvious - walk away from them. Never put another foot in a novus ordo "church"; Never munch another novus ordo cookie; never refer to them, or recognize them as Catholic Clergy; never aid, or abet them. Those who persist in marching with hitler are nazis. If you are alone, like me, communicate with other Catholics, (sedevacantists), on the internet; assist at Mass daily by live webcast, or by following a Mass DVD in your Missal. Receive Spiritual Communion daily. Rosary daily. Read Catholic literature. Be a Catholic as our Fathers were and as faithful Catholics always will be. God is immutable, His Church is indefectible; our beloved Catholic Faith never changes. Spread the alarm among the poor duped sheep who follow the wolves of satan in ignorance, but with pure intention - if you can find one who will listen. Listen to St. Paul - LET THEM BE ANATHEMA!!!

Most Catholics are aware of the deep symbolic significance of the 'papal ring', but really, why would anyone, except maybe a deranged globalist, want to place their lips anywhere near this man's hands? I for one wouldn't want to be in proximity to the man that greeted and took Emma Boninio's hand!

Tom A. said...

The best way to resist is to withdraw recognition.

Irenaeus said...

You don't assist at the Mass in-person, Dr. Lamb? How come?

TLM said...

Seriously, as I've said a million times before: If he were across the street from me I wouldn't bother to walk over.

Anonymous said...

Tom A.:
My sentiments, exactly.
Nothing drives a person like this more crazy, than ignoring them.

I would not go near this man.

Henry Lavin said...

"Z"'s explanation is as ridiculous as Bergoglio's behavior.

Johnno said...

Francis' post-synodal thing is ready to drop from the Enola Gay on Tuesday.

With the Bishop of Cleveland looking to get rid of all that kneeling at Mass, who wants to place bets that all that kneeling, genuflecting and other devotional responses in the Novus Ordo are about to be significantly reduced/gotten rid of?

Because apparently that must have obviously been what all those Youth at the Youth Synod were desperately begging Bergolio for...

"Oh! Please help us your 'Oliness! Our most pressing concerns are all that theology on one's knees. Please have mercy and reduce our burdens! Also all that walking up for Communion. There are elderly and disabled people you know? Just past the Ciborium around and we'll help ourselves."

Germs, right...

Well, that's what the pontifical gloves are for Jorge.

How about a little pomp?

Peter Lamb said...

Dear Irenaeus, Because there is no valid Mass for me to attend here. I am the only sedevacantist I know of in Pretoria.

Irenaeus said...

I'm sorry to hear that, Dr. Lamb.

Trg said...

Trad101, I feel same way.
