“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.” ― St. Antony the Great
The headline from The Pillar reveals the backtracking and panic mode of the Vatican apparatchik, Fernández. This is how these wicked men play. They are fundamentally stupid, arrogant, narcissistic, and effeminate men. The backtracking is too late, the genie is out of the bottle for those who wish to interpret most liberally and the schism is now obvious to everyone.
Taking his own advice to "hagan lio" - make a mess, Bishop of Rome Jorge Bergoglio has sanctioned the blessing of unrepentant people engaging in sodomy or has he? Well, yes and no. It depends on how you wish to interpret it. The Germans are elated. So is Jim Martin, he does not deserve the salutation of "Father." Bergoglio has led everyone to the cliff and now sits back to watch them jump off.
Utterly demonic.
The media took the document and ran with it - that same-sex marriage is now being blest. It isn't, but then again, two men or women living in a sinful sexual relationship can be blest.
See how this works?
From the Second Book of the Prophet Malachi:
And now, O priests, this command is for you. If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse on you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart. I will rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and I will put you out of my presence.
"Dung on your faces!" It won't be long.
Were you surprised? You shouldn't be. It was two years to the day, December 18, that Bergoglio and his minions issued new restrictions on the Church's traditional liturgy. December 18 is the ancient and now abolished Feast of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Methinks this is no coincidence. All part of a diabolical plan. He takes delight in harassing and disturbing the faithful. He hates us. He has done this repeatedly. It is as if to quote from Home Alone, "Merry Christmas ya filthy animals."
“The
penetrating kiss is when you suck and slurp with the lips. The penetrating kiss
is when you stick in your tongue. Watch out for the teeth,” Tucho writes.
“My
boyfriend gets a hard mouth when he kisses me. He hasn’t yet learned how to
loosen his lips. Lovely!”
“What
I like the most is the kiss of peace at Mass. That was the first kiss with the
hottie I have now.”
“I
love kissing his fingertips. It gets more affectionate than anything else.”
“I
once went crazy with the pleasure I was given from being kissed on the eyes.
But I didn’t say this because it’s going to leave me blind.”
This filthy piece of pond scum will now lord it over all of us in his role in whatever is left of the doctrinal coherence of the Church.
From La Plata to Rome.Francis rewarded Tucho Fernandez, a cover-up of pedophiles, with a central position in the Vatican
To confirm that his papacy is an accumulation of pure gestures, Bergoglio puts a bishop of his confidence as Prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith (the old Inquisition), the position occupied, among others, by Ratzinger before becoming pope. As archbishop of La Plata, Fernández was noted for disparaging victims and covering up for abusers.

The Italy correspondent for the conservative Argentine daily La Nación on Saturday called it a "bombshell news" and an "unexpected designation." It probably is for those who align themselves with the most reactionary, ultra-medieval and most obscurantist sectors (in short, they all are) of the Roman curia. But considering the moves made by Jorge "Francisco" Bergoglio in recent years, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
The news in question is that the Vatican has just published in its Official Gazette that the archbishop of La Plata Víctor Manuel "Tucho" Fernández was elected by the new pope "prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith", as reported in the bulletin of the so-called Holy See. Fernández would take office in September, replacing Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer.
The Dicastery is the direct successor of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisitioncreated in 1542 by Paul III and whose legacy for humanity was to have watered part of the world with blood with its hunts for "witches", torture and humiliation of "heretics" and other bloodthirsty methods to control the wayward population with the "apostolic and Roman Catholic doctrine". Among some of its milestones, the Inquisition tried and condemned Galileo Galilei for his heretical theories.
Although modern inquisitors no longer send their executioners to extirpate satanic confessions under torture or burn women in bonfires mounted in public squares (that today is done more civilly by States and their governments) it is still the "ministry" of the Vatican that controls, censors and sanctions everything related to the "values" of official Catholicism. This includes the systematic plan to cover up thousands and thousands of rapes of children and adolescents in schools, institutes and parishes around the world.
Precisely, Tucho Fernández is a specialist, among other things, in guaranteeing this systematic cover-up while issuing communiqués and blocking homilies in which, as Bergoglio commands, the abuses committed by his cassocks employees are culpably condemned. The few who manage to break the silence of the ecclesiastical walls and jump to public opinion, of course.Very valuable task
The Official Vatican Bulletin publishes a letter that Francis sends to Tucho. There he says that he entrusts to him a "very valuable" task, such as "guarding the teaching that springs from faith to 'give a reason for our hope, but not as enemies who point and condemn.'" As if to "clarify," the pope acknowledges that the Dicastery "in other times came to use immoral methods" and that "these were times when, rather than promoting theological knowledge, possible doctrinal errors were pursued. What I expect from you is certainly something very different," he tells his handler.
Curiously, the Roman monarch makes explicit the intention of freeing the new prefect from having to take charge of "attending" to the complaints of sexual abuse that arrive in Rome. "Given that for disciplinary matters – especially related to the abuse of minors – a specific Section has recently been created with very competent professionals, I ask you as Prefect to dedicate your personal commitment more directly to the main purpose of the Dicastery, which is to 'keep the faith'", he orders.
Strictly speaking, this new "section" of which he speaks is an office dedicated to receiving the handful of "officialized" complaints against bishops, priests and nuns that dioceses around the world consider that the Vatican should "investigate" and "give sentence." But it is an office that answers directly to the Dicastery that Fernández will lead shortly. Pure story.
Moving tiles
The pope's move seems to be in line with others in recent years in which the Argentine supreme pontiff was placing in key places in the Vatican men of his confidence who, in addition, adhere to his "theology of the people" (doctrinal aspect that, appealing to populist topics, aesthetically distances itself from the most ultraconservative sectors of the Church). Aware that his health declines with the passage of time, the so-called "Peronist pope" is already planning his succession by filling St. Peter's Square with an addicted civil servant.
The most emblematic case is that of the former bishop of Oran, Salta, Gustavo Zanchetta, Bergoglio's extremely trusted man. Between December 2018, when allegations against him of two abused seminarians (the victims could have been many more) and March 2022, when he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison; the merciful pope sought to "save" Zanchetta by placing him in charge of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See.
Better known as the Vatican's "real estate," the office handles more than five thousand properties worldwide with an estimated value of $3 billion. Finally, Zanchetta had to return to Argentina to undergo the trial. Of course, today he enjoys a house arrest that is denied to any Christian for much less serious crimes.
So far it is unknown if Tucho Fernández directly abused minors, seminarians or students of the Argentine Catholic University when he was its rector. What is known is that in recent years he was responsible for covering up any stray sheep that was denounced for these crimes, doubly aggravated because they were representatives of a religious cult (with the level of vulnerability of the victim that this implies).
From left to right and top to bottom: Spinelli, Granuzzo, Corradi, Corbacho, Primati, Giménez, Di Virgilio, Marchioni, Lorenzo, Yanuzzi and Sidders
In a special report published by La Izquierda Diario last December (carried out together with Pulso Noticias), eleven of the cases reported so far in La Plata are detailed and in which, in various ways, "Tucho" played a clear role of covering up his priests. A cover-up that goes hand in hand with dehumanization and contempt for victims and survivors.
The cases are those of the former chaplain general of the Buenos Aires Penitentiary ServiceEduardo Lorenzo (committed suicide in December 2019 in a Caritas headquarters minutes after being arrested), the creator of the Miles Christi congregation Roberto Yanuzzi (the only one excommunicated by the pope, although for his doctrinal differences and not for his abuses), Héctor Giménez (denounced but unpunished), Rubén Marchioni (publicly denounced but not judicially), Maximiliano Di Virgilio (the family of his victim withdrew a criminal complaint), the former chaplain of the Gendarmerie in Misiones Raúl Sidders (with an absurd house arrest and close to an oral trial) and five former capos of the Provolo Institute of La Plata (Nicola Corradi, Horacio Corbacho, Giuseppe Spinelli, Giovanni Granuzzo and Eliseo Primati).
Along with Fernández, in almost all these cases the auxiliary bishop of La Plata, Alberto Bochatey, a servant formed by the ultra-reactionary Héctor Aguer, predecessor of "Tucho", played a central role in the cover-up plans. Although there are no known allegations about him and despite the "enmity" between Bergoglio and Aguer, in 2017 the pope appointed Bochatey "apostolic commissioner" to investigate allegations of sexual abuse at the headquarters of the Provolo Institute in Mendoza. Obviously he did not investigate anything and much less collaborated in the judicial case that ended up condemning Corradi and Corbacho to almost fifty years in prison.
Alberto Bochatey
"Tucho" and Bochatey, among other aberrations, organized the "homage mass" (and body present) to the suicide Lorenzo in the same parish of Gonnet in which the priest, for years, abused teenagers whom he corrupted and extorted to satisfy his desires for oppression.
Nothing less could be expected from the pope himself. In addition to having been an accomplice of several crimes of the last civic-military-ecclesiastical dictatorship (when he already had a high position in the Argentine Curia), in his country he has spent years protecting criminals of the stature of Julio Grassi, Zanchetta, Justo Illaraz, Agustín Rosa Torino and dozens of priests and bishops with canonical investigations that only gave impunity. With the exception of the mafioso Yanuzzi, not even the few priests convicted criminally were expelled from the Church.
Another characteristic of Víctor Fernández is his vocation to "mediate" in social conflicts, when they threaten the political power of the day. For example, in 2018 he came to the aid of the then governorMaría Eugenia Vidal when hundreds of workers left from the entrances of the Río Santiago de Ensenada Shipyard to occupy the headquarters of the Ministry of Economy in La Plata in repudiation of the adjustment and delivery plans of the company by the management of Cambiemos. To this end, the archbishop devised a demobilizing maneuver together with part of the union leadership of the region that endorsed (by action or omission) Vidal's plans.
Now, after five years "cleaning" (based on liturgical cosmetics and silences bought at a good price) the archdiocese of La Plata of the ultraconservative remnants that Aguer had left, "Tucho" has to transfer part of his experience to the Vatican.
Of course, to occupy a position that intellectuals such as Joseph Ratzinger once held, Fernández does not lack a curriculum. He will become prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith after having been dean of the Faculty of Theology of Buenos Aires, president of the Argentine Society of Theology and of the Commission of Faith and Culture of the Argentine Episcopate. And before assuming the Archbishopric of La Plata, he was rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. What is said is a true picture for all the needs and urgencies that the Vatican has in its particular Bergoglian stage.

The Pope is unwell.
Not much more can be said about this travesty.
Keep your mind and heart on Jesus. The rest is a clown show.
“The
pope goes slow because he wants to be sure that the changes have a deep
impact. The slow pace is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the changes.
He knows there are those hoping that the next pope will turn everything back
around. If you go slowly it’s more difficult to turn things back. . . You have
to realize that he is aiming at reform that is irreversible. If one day he
should intuit that he’s running out of time and doesn’t have enough time to do
what the Spirit is asking him, you can be sure he will speed up.” –Tucho
Fernandez
And thus, Bergoglio's time is very, very short and this filthy degenerate will be around after him.
Two days ago, I read this post by Robert Mickens, who declared himself as a practicer of sodomy stating, "They put us in closets and do all they can to keep us there," wrote in La Croix about the planned resignation of Bergoglio, after he has effectively destroyed what he can of the Church to a point that it cannot be reversed. We have heard this before, of course, by the kissing bishop Mickens refers to and which many have written about, including this writer. On this point, they are both wrong. Bergoglio cannot bind his successors and one Pope filled with the prayer of "zeal for Thy house, O Lord," and filled with the Holy Spirit can and will undo all the damage of Bergoglio. He will do it and he can do it in one day. Whatever this Bergoglio is, Pope, Antipope, apostate or heretic, his actions have been evil, make no mistake about that, he cannot succeed no matter how bad it will look, no matter what happens. That which he creates will ape the Church, it will be a fraud, it is a fraud. One holy pope can and will fix this. He will do it in one day. Those who do not follow the Truth will simply find themselves outside of the Truth and those remaining faithful, will know who to follow to find their way to the Lord. Mickens and Fernandez are both wrong. Ann Bardhardt, whatever you think of her, has made a powerful argument that Francis is not Pope and Benedict remains Pope. Her latest post is a must-read and she dives into these thoughts further. Everything we suspected about Bergoglio is coming to the fore. We felt it when he came out on the loggia. Now, with his recent trip to the Middle East, the apostasy and heresy is there for all to see. What remains is for the Cardinals to do what history and truth demands.
This so-called papacy, of Jorge Bergoglio, can really best be described as a "regime." It is, after all, a word and governing style that he would be familiar with, coming from that Peronist swamp of the once great Argentina.
The man is either sheer deluded or just plain stupid by suggesting that the nation-state has no right to protect its borders and citizens and must allow the rest of the world to flock in to undermine its culture and life. It is preposterous to even imagine that a Vicar of Christ would speak such filthy rubbish that would endanger so many at this most difficult time in the world. Sadly, the globalist leaders of Europe seem to be hand in glove with this Bergoglio. What a disgrace.
He has surrounded himself with such heretical, filthy men such as Victor Emmanuel Fernandez who would suggest now, that fornication is no longer a sin. Since birds of a feather flock together, it is reasonable to assume that their thoughts are the same. This Bergoglio has never once rebuked this filthy, perverted, heretical Christ-hating, Catholic-faithful hating deviant as to be no less than one himself.
This papal regime is a fraud. It will come to a swift end in God's good time, and may that be soon.
The problem for us is this; will the next pope be a repeat of this one, except with a sharp mind as opposed to the one now or will it be the one who will restore all things in Christ?
Joseph Ratzinger has betrayed us by leaving the Chair of Peter to this man. While none of us have the authority to pronounce what we do not know, it seems clear to this writer that there is a reason that this Jesuit Peronist acts as he does. He simply cannot receive something for which it has been fraudulently taken.
Michael Pakaluk has researched the work of Victor Fernandez, the author of Heal Me With Your Mouth - The Art of Kissing, and found that his work as ghostwriter of Amoris Laetitia (along with Evangelii Gaudium and Laudato Si) calls in to question its magisterial authority. From the very beginning of this papacy, Jorge Bergoglio has surrounded himself with detestable men who will be his undoing. The Pope must retract Amoris Laetitia, recant from its error and its heresy and sacrilege. After the fiasco of the Bishops of Malta, there is no more denying it. The more Bergoglio defends it and ignores the dubia, the more he condemns himself.
[Editor’s note: In this essay, Professor
Michael Pakaluk of the Catholic University of America examines the role of
Argentine Archbishop Victor Fernandez, a theological adviser to Pope Francis,
in Amoris Laetitia, the pontiff’s document on the family. Crux invited
Fernandez to respond, and his comments appear at the bottom of the article.]
The most important footnote in Amoris Laetitia
may not be, as many suppose, one dealing with access to the sacraments for
Catholics in “irregular” situations. Instead, it may be a footnote that’s not
actually in the document but which should be, since one of the sentences in
Amoris is lifted nearly verbatim from an essay published in 1995 in a Buenos
Aires theological journal.
The
sentence, from the notorious chapter 8, is this: “Saint Thomas Aquinas himself
recognized that someone may possess grace and charity, yet not be able to
exercise any one of the virtues well; in other words, although someone may
possess all the infused moral virtues, he does not clearly manifest the
existence of one of them, because the outward practice of that virtue is
rendered difficult: ‘Certain saints are said not to possess certain virtues, in
so far as they experience difficulty in the acts of those virtues, even though
they have the habits of all the virtues.’” [Cf. Summa Theologiae I-II, q. 65,
art. 3 ad 2 and ad 3].
The Avenire interview has not gotten the attention it deserves. There has been so much written on the dubia and the letter of the Four Cardinals, the Pope's refusal to answer, and the consistory, that much in this recent interview has gone unnoticed. It is important to unpack it and using the help of computer translation, as best we can, we can look at some of the more concerning quotes. There is something that must be said of the imprudence of the Vicar of Christ willingly submitting himself to secular media opinion makers and journalists. It should simply not be done. Not on an aeroplane, not anywhere. It belittles the Office of the Papacy, it reduces it, and the person of the Pope to just another political leader or head of an NGO. It confuses the people as to what is, and what is not, Magisterial. The Pope's talks to media, along with the Tweets of his sycophants, or those in the communications department who do it in multi-languages under his name not equate with Magisterial teaching. They do, however, create great confusion and division, and they reveal much more.
Right out of the gate, in the interview, Bergoglio talks about, the "spirit." When asked about the "Holy Year," he states:
"The
Jubilee? I have not made a plan. Things have come. I simply let myself be lead by
the Spirit. The Church is the Gospel, it is not a path of ideas. This year on
mercy is a process developed over time, from the Council ...
Also in the
ecumenical field the path comes from afar, with the steps of my predecessors.
This is the journey of the Church. It's not me. I have not given any
acceleration. To the extent that we move forward, the path seems to go faster,
is the motus, in fine velocior ".
He speaks much of the "spirit." I categorise this with his "god of surprises," and neither of them are Holy. Since the advent of the so-called "charismatic" movement (something this writer views as a fraud), Catholics have fallen for this idea that the Holy Spirit is guiding every step they make and every thought and decision. These suffer the same delusion that the Holy Spirit actually elects the Pope, and, therefore, we must conclude, that every odour emanating from the Bishop of Rome, whomever he is, must smell like frankincense. The reality is the very opposite. Everything must be tested. From the moment this man came out on the loggia that dark March evening, he has been a scandal to the Faith. That very night with his "good evening," to the next day refusing to bless the gathered media, the witnessing of him refusing to genuflect at Holy Mass but grovelling to wash the feet of anyone but a priest, on Holy Thursday, we have seen his lack of respect for Catholic and pastoral practice, rubrics and manners. We have his continual insults to faithful Catholics from "self-absorbed, promethean, neo-Pelagians" to "breeding like rabbits," and more recently, "rigid" people trying to "hide something." These are not from a spirit that is holy. These insults are not worthy of the Vicar of Christ. When Our Lord referred to "whitewashed sepulchres," He had, by His divinity the right to call out the liars of his age. Everyone also knew to whom he was referring, the Pharisees and Sanhedrin, and why he was doing it. With Bergoglio, he is never clear, never specific as to whom is to be on the receiving end of his verbal assault. It most cases, it ends up being the simple Catholic people. The set-up of Kasper nearly three years ago putting forward the horror we have witnessed at the two Synods and now the heretical Amoris Laetitia is the peak of this scandal. This "god of surprises," put forward by Bergoglio, is not the Triune God of Heaven and Earth and more than than the god of Mahomet is. This "spirit" two whom he refers, is not the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity. It cannot be and logic defies it to be; because just as "Satan cannot cast out Satan," God cannot blaspheme Himself. Bergoglio reveals in that first line above that he has no plan, other than chaos and the Marxist rhetoric of moving "forward." But he is not being truthful. He has a plan. It is the plan of those who put him there and the plan of those who formed him. It is a plan to destroy the Catholic faith, it cannot be anything else. The idea that he is simply suffering dementia is simply not true. He, in fact, knows exactly what he is doing. He is at best a progressive and at worst a Marxist in a political sense. He absorbed, as a young boy and man, the Peronist mentality from his Argentina; he models it well. He is a bully and a demagogue. There is no humility in him. It is a media message, a spin, a lie. Perhaps due to his modernist mind and his reduction the Catholic faith beneath the supernatural, he is proving to be irrational and goes with whatever comes into his mind, interpreting all of it, as divinely inspired. Again, he is all about "feelings." He sees everything he does as inspiration form his "god of surprises." We are now told that he praises "communists who think like Christians." His outbursts of anger at the Casa Santa Marta against the thirteen Cardinals that signed the letter at the Synod (including our own Thomas Cardinal Collins of Toronto), his behaviour in Mexico to an innocent person as he waded into a crowd, to his rage reported by Pentin over the dubia, and his constant striving to give images of humility to the medial reveal a disturbing pathology, possibly narcissism. He states further that it is not him, but the Council that is responsible and that he is not speeding things up but just going along with that which is coming from the "spirit."
"Making
the experience of forgiveness that embraces the whole human family is the grace
that the apostolic ministry announces. The Church exists only as a tool to
communicate to people the merciful plan of God. At the Council the Church felt
the responsibility of being in the world as a living sign of the love of the
Father, with the ascent of Lumen Gentium to the sources of his nature, to the Gospel. This
moves the axis of the Christian conception of a certain legalism, which can be
ideological, the Personality of Godhead who became the incarnation of the Son's
mercy. Some - think of certain replies to Amoris laetitia - still do not
understand, it is either white or black, in the flow of life that you have
to discern. The Council has told us this. Historians say, however, that a
Council, to be absorbed well by the body of the Church, needs a century, we are only half a
century from it."
The Council is once again being manipulated. As ambiguous as the documents of the Second Vatican Council can be, as regrettable as some of that which has come from it is, nowhere can one find the justification for what is contained in Amoris Laetitia or in his complete upheaval of the Church including this decentralisation that he advocates. If he believes this, he is either deluding himself out of ideology, or he is deceiving and lying to further his own goals, led by something he believes to be the Holy Spirit. At this point, we must conclude it to be the latter. It is simply blasphemy to hold the idea that God is responsible for heresy, error and confusion. If one holds that there are ultimate truths, then one does, in fact, become a "legalist" and we should wear it with a badge of honour and not take it as an insult. If one sees only "black and white," then we should say that Our Lord Jesus Christ was also a "legalist." He said, "I have not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it." He also said, "If you love me, keep my Commandments," the "Law." This Pope is the embodiment of the "dictatorship of relativism," spoken of by Joseph Ratzinger immediately prior to his election to the papacy. Bergoglio is the living, breathing incarnation of the "hermeneutic of discontinuity and rupture," spoken of by the same man who left us to suffer with both and who is now his successor's prisoner."
"It
is the journey from the Council which goes on, and is intensified. But it is the
journey, not me. This path is the path of the Church. I have met with the
primates and leaders, it is true, but also the rest of my predecessors have
done their encounters with these or other responsible. I have not given any
acceleration. To the extent that we go on the road seems to go faster, is the
motus in fine velocior, to put it according to that process expressed in the
Aristotelian physics."
This is the second time he talks about "acceleration" but then tries to explain that it is not him doing it, Again, we are left to conclude that it is this "spirit" and this "god of surprises," that is directing him.
"The
pope must have his reasons, because he knows very well what he’s doing. He must
have an objective that we don’t understand yet. You have to realize that he is
aiming at a reform that is irreversible. If one day he should intuit that he’s
running out of time and he doesn’t have enough time to do what the Spirit is
asking him, you can be sure he will speed up."
Archbishop Fernandez, affectionately known as "Tucho," is the ghostwriter behind the Lutheranesque Evangelii Gaudium, the Soros inspired Laudato Si and the heretical Amoris Laetitia. Clearly, Francis needs to find new friends. This man was not deemed suitable as a Seminary Rector by the Vatican. Now, he is an Archbishop made so by Bergoglio. There is no "turning back" according to Fernandez. "Francis is stronger than adversaries inside the Curia." We can only conclude then that Bergoglio believes that "he's running out of time," and therefore is not speeding up. He has purged the St. John Paul II Institute on the Family and has now done the same, seventy positions in a purge of the Pontifical Academy for Life. Why then, does he think that he, "is running out of time?" Is it his age, 80, or his health, not the greatest? No, it is because he knows that he has been found out. The Four Cardinals' letter proves it, only publicly. Do not think that he has not heard this and more, privately. He knows we are on to him. He will not answer the dubia. He will push ahead and he will be the cause of a schism and will put himself outside the Church.
Later, Bergoglio is asked to comment that "some people think that, in these ecumenical meetings you want to "sell out" Catholic doctrine. Someone once said that you want to
"protestantise," the Church ... "
"I
do not lose my sleep from this. I continue on the road of those who have preceded
me, I follow the Council. As for opinions, we must always distinguish the
spirit in which they are spoken. When there is not an evil spirit, they also
help to walk. Other times you see right away that they take criticism here and
there to justify, they are not honest, are made with
evil spirit to foment division. We see immediately that certain rigors stem
from a lack, from wanting to hide inside their armor of sad dissatisfaction. If
you watch the movie Babette's Feast is this rigid behavior."
That's right. The Four Cardinals and the Dubia are "fomenting division." Catholics who hold to the faith, and I am talking about every day, John and Mary Catholics attending the regular diocesan parish, who struggle to raise their families, and remain faithful - they go to Mass, the Sacraments - these are people concerned about what is happening to their Holy Mother, the Church, and this man calls states that they are out do "foment division." The proverbial, pot, calling the kettle, black. He does not "lose sleep." That is for the rest of us.
Again, as in the insults last week to young Catholics attending the traditional Mass, Bergoglio puts on his psychiatrist cap and labels people who hold fast to the Truth and the traditional Mass as nothing more than "rigid behaviour," from those "want to hide inside their armour of sad dissatisfaction." The man is a hypocrite. Wake-up Catholics. What Pope, what Vicar of Christ speaks like this? As for Babette's Feast, what the heck he is he talking about and why is recommending a movie? What can a cinematic film teach us about our Faith?
On a personal note, his comments are very revealing to me. In the two years to three years leading up to the vexatious and frivolous attempt by Father Thomas J. Rosica, to sue this writer, I received over a dozen email communications from him. The tone of Bergoglio and the style of insult is near identical to those of Rosica. It is either that Rosica is whispering in his ear or more likely, it is a matter to do with their formation. What was happening in the seminaries between 1960 and 1990 when these men were educated and formed for priesthood that caused them to think of Catholics in such ways? What is this pathology that turns them into amateur psychoanalysts rather than missionaries of Christ? Why did these men ever become priests and why did any bishop ordain either them?
"Will
this Pope re-write controversial Church doctrines? No. But that isn't how
doctrine changes. Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new
insights emerge such that particularly doctrinal formulations no longer mediate
the saving message of God's transforming love. Doctrine changes when the Church
has leaders and teachers who are not afraid to take note of new contexts and
emerging insights. It changes when the Church has pastors who do what Francis
has been insisting: leave the securities of your chanceries, of your rectories,
of your safe places, of your episcopal residences go set aside the small minded
rules that often keep you locked up and shielded from the world."
What Rosica articulated, Bergoglio is doing.
The interview then winds its way towards Lund and ecumenism.
"Walking and working together, we realize
that we are already united in the name of the Lord, and then the unity is not that which we create ourselves. We realize that it is the Spirit who impels and carries us. If
you are docile to the Spirit, He will tell you what you can do, the rest is
done by Him. That's why I say that the unity is on the way, because unity is
a grace that you have to ask, and also because I repeat that every
proselytizing among Christians is sinful. The Church never grows by proselytizing but "by attraction," as Benedict XVI wrote. The
proselytizing among Christians therefore is in itself a grave sin. … because it
contradicts the very dynamics of how to become and remain Christian. The Church
is not a football team that seeks fans."
That's right, preaching the faith does not bring people to it, in Bergoglio's distorted mind. "Faith is learned by hearing." Is that not what Holy Writ states?
It is the laity, mostly through blogs, that have been at the forefront of exposition of the errors of Jorge Bergoglio and his Papacy. As a Catholic, it is not an easy thing to bear what he says and does. It is even less easy to come here and publicly challenge the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, the very Vicar of Christ. Yet, how can one not? How can one sit idly by, whilst this man and those around him, tear apart the very Church through which we were given the very grace to see.
A few days ago, a woman whom I have known for a number of years saw for herself what was happening and what was being said. She is a faithful woman, a good Catholic. Not a "traditionalist" in the sense of the Rite as she is part of a regular diocesan parish, but certainly a traditionalist in faith and morality, devotion and practice. She would be of the generation of this writer, a child coming to age in the great dawn of Vatican II; conflicted between that which we were taught and saw as young children and that which was then thrust upon us. She said to me, "it is as if everything I was ever taught was a lie." I responded, "No! they are the liars. Not your parents, not your good priests and nuns and teachers, it was not they who lied to you, they were right then, and we are right now."
And this is the danger, -- that good people who are only now becoming aware of the horrors of the Bergoglian papacy are going to lose their faith because they do not know what to believe and what is true anymore.
This is how modernism works. A drop of poison. One drop at a time.
It is the "synthesis of all heresies" and Bergoglio is its teacher.
