Epiphany 2017 - Post II: The betrayal of Christ by the Jews and the contradiction of Pope Gregory the Great by Pope Bergoglio

Image result for epiphany

How many times has our Bishop of Rome, stated that "proselytism is solemn nonsense," or that "proselytism is a sin." How many times has he prayed in Synagogues and even Mosques, as he did in Africa actually bowing to the vaginal shaped asteroid within the Kabaa in Mecca, how many times has he done that and refused to preach this!

"Concerning this doctrine the Pope of Vatican I, Pius IX, spoke on two different occasions. In an allocution (address to an audience) on December 9th, 1854 he said: We must hold as of the faith, that out of the Apostolic Roman Church there is no salvation; that she is the only ark of safety, and whosoever is not in her perishes in the deluge; we must also, on the other hand, recognize with certainty that those who are invincible in ignorance of the true religion are not guilty for this in the eyes of the Lord. And who would presume to mark out the limits of this ignorance according to the character and diversity of peoples, countries, minds and the rest?
Again, in his encyclical Quanto conficiamur moerore of 10 August, 1863 addressed to the Italian bishops, he said: 
It is known to us and to you that those who are in invincible ignorance of our most holy religion, but who observe carefully the natural law, and the precepts graven by God upon the hearts of all men, and who being disposed to obey God lead an honest and upright life, may, aided by the light of divine grace, attain to eternal life; for God who sees clearly, searches and knows the heart, the disposition, the thoughts and intentions of each, in His supreme mercy and goodness by no means permits that anyone suffer eternal punishment, who has not of his own free will fallen into sin."

From Matins (The Office of Readings in the must abridged modernist Liturgy of the Hours) for the Feast of the Epiphany has these readings from St. Leo the Great (I - III) and two from St. Gregory the Great (VIII and IX):

Reading I: Dearly beloved brethren, rejoice in the Lord; again I say, rejoice. But a few days are past since the solemnity of Christ's Birth, and now the glorious light of His Manifestation is breaking upon us. On that day the Virgin brought Him forth, and on this the world knew Him. The Word made Flesh was pleased to reveal Himself by degrees to those for whom He had come. When Jesus was born He was manifested indeed to the believing, but hidden from His enemies. Already indeed the heavens declared the glory of God, and their sound went out into all lands, when the Herald Angels appeared to tell to the shepherds the glad tidings of a Saviour's Birth; and now the guiding star leadeth the wise men to worship Him, that from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, the Birth of the true King may be known abroad; that through those wise men the kingdoms of the east might learn the great truth, and the Roman empire remain no more in darkness. 
Reading II: The very cruelty of Herod, when he strove to crush at His birth this King Whom he alone feared, was made a blind means to carry out this dispensation of mercy. While the tyrant with horrid guilt sought to slay the little Child he did not know, amid an indiscriminate slaughter of innocents, his infamous act served to spread wider abroad the heaven-told news of the Birth of the Lord. Thus were these glad tidings loudly proclaimed, both by the novelty of their story, and the iniquity of their enemies. Then was the Saviour borne into Egypt, that nation, of a long time hardened in idolatry, might by the mysterious virtue which went out of Him, even when His presence was unknown, be prepared for the saving light so soon to dawn on them, and might receive the Truth as a wanderer even before they had banished falsehood. 
Reading III: Dearly beloved brethren, we recognize in the wise men who came to worship Christ, the first-fruits of that dispensation to the Gentiles wherein we also are called and enlightened. Let us then keep this Feast with grateful hearts, in thanksgiving for our blessed hope, whereof it doth commemorate the dawn. From that worship paid to the new-born Christ is to be dated the entry of us Gentiles upon our heirship of God and co-heirship with Christ. Since that joyful day the Scriptures which testify of Christ have lain open for us as well as for the Jews. Yea, their blindness rejected that Truth, Which, since that day, hath shed Its bright beams upon all nations. Let all observance, then, be paid to this most sacred day, whereon the Author of our salvation was made manifest, and as the wise men fell down and worshipped Him in the manger, so let us fall down and worship Him enthroned Almighty in heaven. As they also opened their treasures and presented unto Him mystic and symbolic gifts, so let us strive to open our hearts to Him, and offer Him from thence some worthy offering.
Reading VIII: Thus also we remark that afterwards the Redeemer was preached among the Gentiles not by Himself, but by His Apostles, even as, when a little Child, He is shown to them, not by the voice of angels, but merely by the vision of a star. When He Himself had begun to speak He was made known to us by speakers, but when He lay silent in the manger, by that silent testimony in heaven. But whether we consider the signs which accompanied His birth or His death, this thing is wonderful, namely, the hardness of heart of the Jews, who would not believe in Him either for prophesying or for miracles.
Reading IX: All things which He had made, bore witness that their Maker was come. Let me reckon them after the manner of men. The heavens knew that He was God, and sent a star to shine over where He lay. The sea knew it, and bore Him up when He walked upon it. The earth knew it, and quaked when He died. The sun knew it, and was darkened. The rocks and walls knew it, and rent at the hour of His death. Hell knew it, and gave up the dead that were in it. And yet up to this very hour the hearts of the unbelieving Jews will not acknowledge that He to Whom all nature testified is their God, and, being more hardened than the rocks, refuse to be rent by repentance.
On this day, when we celebrate the Manifestation to the Gentiles of Our Lord, let us remember that, notwithstanding the masonic, globalist errors of this and refusal to preach that "there is no salvation outside the Church" except in those cases listed above, the truth is what remains. 

In this modern age, when Jews and infidels and pagans come to the Vatican and with the knowledge available to them; when the Pope refuses to preach the truth; when they refuse to even seek it by "natural law." what hope do either of them have for salvation?

Invincible ignorance for someone in darkest Afghanistan is one thing, I get that; but for those educated, internet connected Jews and Hollywood glitterati who visit with Pope Bergoglio? That is quite another.

What does it say about a Vicar of Christ who bows to Mecca to an idol, an asteroid of all things shaped like a vulva!

What possible prayers could one offer to this?


 Do Jews and Mohammedans not deserve the Truth that they might be saved?

Bishop of Rome - "It doesn't matter" which religion you follow! What is the context?

The Bishop of Rome made a surprise visit to the Focolare Cult's celebration of Gaia on Sunday. Crux, has a translation of his remarks wherein he said:
Look, these are the things that come to my mind. How to do this? Simply in the awareness that we all have something in common, we’re all human. And in this humanity, we can get close to each other to work together … “But I belong to this religion, or to that one …” it doesn’t matter!  Let’s all go forward to work together, respecting each other, respecting! I see this miracle: the miracle of a desert that becomes a forest.  
In the nineteenth verse of the twenty-eighth chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew, Our blessed Lord Jesus Christ said:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
That Divine Commission means that all people on earth are to be baptised as Christians and received into the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. That is the command of Jesus.

Some questions have arisen about the "context" on a Facebook post of this blog and by my good friend, Mark, in the combox.

The preceding paragraphs refer to forgiveness and building up. Those are the things that come to his "mind" when he makes the next statement. He theorised about a fictitious person saying that they belong to "this religion, or to that one," but he then says, "it doesn't matter." 

He says, "Let’s all go forward to work together, respecting each other, respecting! I see this miracle: the miracle of a desert that becomes a forest. Thanks for everything you do!"

 It actually confirms the hypothetical "it doesn't matter" which religion as being fine as long as there is this "respect."  He was referring to a hypothetical situation, but his answer to it is to leave people in whatever religion. As long as we all get along that is just fine. This is not the Christian Gospel!


In daily life, I must "respect" others whom I work and interact with, this is the basis of a civil society, but the Vicar of Christ must preach CHRIST, not polite social interaction for secular achievement!

It surely matters!

That is the problem. 

Context is everything, indeed. 

Remember:
"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."

With that quote, (originating at the NCReporter) Father Thomas J. Rosica, on numerous occasions, laid out the plan of the Synods on the Family and the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis.

They've won the battle.

Christ has won the war.

Viva Cristo Rey!

Jorge Bergoglio the Video Star - the Pope's pure, unadulterated, blasphemous syncretism, for all to see!

Who will stand up to Jorge Bergoglio for what he has written and said in the video below. One can sit down with those of other religions but one cannot do it without preaching that there is only one, true religion. Only one Faith that is ultimate truth, only one path to salvation. 

Who would dare equate Our Lord Jesus Christ come to Earth as a baby, the WORD MADE FLESH with a pagan such as the Buddha or the false religion of Mahomet. The Menorah, we can accept as an ancient symbol of our Faith, as Catholicism is Judaism fulfilled. The rest is a mockery, a blasphemy to equate them as equivalent to an image of the baby Jesus. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His Church to convert the world and preach the "good news" of salvation to all people. Through baptism by water and the Holy Spirit and by believing in Our Lord Jesus Christ  and following the teachings of the Church and a sacramental life. 

There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. Period. Can those not baptised and living a life with the Sacraments be saved? That is up to God. not us. We cannot know of any who have been. It is simply not possible. Baptism of Desire or Blood are concepts, not scriptural and not doctrinal. If someone is saved by Desire or Blood or Ignorance, it is not because of their false religion or no religion, it is up to God. He is not bound by His Sacraments, we are. But, we cannot know of anyone being saved outside of the Catholic Church. To proffer this, is heresy. It is to call Our Blessed Lord a liar. It is to call the Jewish Apostles liars and fools.

Jorge Bergoglio, with this video, has crossed a line. To say more would be to call him a material heretic, objectively speaking. If he believes that all religions and a way of life such as Buddhism are all equal with Christ, then that is heresy. The words of Jorge Bergoglio, Bishop of Rome are unadulterated syncretism and religious indifferentism.

Bergoglio is simply wrong and is frankly, dangerous to the Faith. He must be denounced for this scandalous action. 

Which Prelate will stand up to this abomination and blasphemy?

Watch the video below and comment at will.



The above is not funny.
