Cardinal Caffarra, may he rest in peace

Cardinal Caffarra, has died suddenly. While said to be ill, his death seems to have come as a surprise. May he rest in the peace of Christ, whom he loved.

The Cardinal is the second of the four "dubia" Cardinals to pass away in the last few months, the first being Cardinal Meisner.

Raymond Cardinal Burke has issued a statement:

“With the death of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra the Church has lost the earthly presence of an exemplary priest, Bishop and Cardinal. Having enjoyed the great gift of knowing Cardinal Caffarra over many years and of working very closely with him during the these last years in the safeguarding and promoting of the Church’s constant teaching and practice regarding Holy Matrimony and the Holy Eucharist, I can testify that he was completely and solely inspired by a deep and pure love of Christ and of Christ’s Mystical Body, the Church. His purity of heart was always evident to me and was an unfailing inspiration. His knowledge of the Church’s doctrine and discipline was the fruit of years of study, which he continued until the end, for the sake of giving the best possible care to souls. Just recently, he related to me how he was studying the texts of Blessed Cardinal John Henry Cardinal Newman on conscience in preparation for a public lecture in England. While I mourn deeply the loss of his earthly presence, I am confident that his love of Christ and of the Church will continue. I count upon the help of his prayers in carrying out my weighty responsibility as a teacher of the faith and a doctor of souls. May the good and faithful Cardinal rest in peace.”

Its seems to this writer that Cardinals Burke and Brandmuller should avail themselves of food-tasters, body-guards and bullet vests under their albs and if you think I'm wearing a tin-foiled hat then you've not studied history.

Of Bergoglian earmuffs and socks

From the great liturgical mind of Jorge Bergoglio from the latest interview by this man thrust upon the Seat of Peter by evil men.

"On the contrary, traditionalist ideology has a faith like this [the pope makes a gesture of putting on earmuffs]. “The benediction should be done like this. In Mass, fingers should be like this, with gloves, like before …” What Vatican II has done with the liturgy has been something truly grand, because it has opened worship of God to the people. Now the people participate." 

Ideology? 

If anyone has an ideology it is the modernists and liberals who hate Christ, hate the tradition of the Church and even resent the few crumbs that Ratzinger sprinkled to comfort a few.   

What a stupid, ignorant, boorish man. 

Rather than ear muffs over his hears perhaps he should try a sock in the mouth.

Cormac Murphy-O'Connor lobbied to elect Bergoglio

The former Archbishop of Westminster, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor has died. It has long been known that he was part of the St. Gallin Mafia with the pervert protecting Daneels from Belgium, a mafia that worked to elect Bergoglio in 2005 and then succeeded upon his cowardly renouncement of the papacy. Now, a new book reveals that Murphy-O'Connor lobbied Cardinals of the Commonwealth to elect his friend from Buenos Aires - except for two, Canada's Marc Ouellet and George Pell from Australia.

As it is unseemly to speak ill of the dead, I shall leave it at this. Murphy-O'Connor has now met our Lord Jesus Christ. We should hope that the Lord was merciful to him as we hope he shall be to all of us.

It is a tale every bit as intriguing as the plot of Conclave, Robert Harris’s best-selling thriller set during a fictitious papal election.

For it has emerged that Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the former Catholic archbishop of Westminster who died last week, intervened in the last Conclave to ensure his friend was elected Pope Francis.

In the days before the 2013 vote, Murphy-O’Connor co-hosted a reception at the British embassy in Rome to lobby support for Cardinal Bergoglio, the then progressive archbishop of Buenos Aires.

According to a new book, Murphy-O’Connor invited cardinals from the Commonwealth but deliberately left off the invitation list two powerful but conservative clerics - Cardinal Ouellet from Canada, who had been a frontrunner, and Cardinal Pell from Australia.

The plan, which succeeded, was to persuade the cardinals of the need for a liberal pope without interference from the senior conservatives.

The book by Catherine Pepinster, the former editor of The Tablet, details how embassy officials left the room to allow Murphy-O’Connor time to persuade the cardinals of the importance of voting for Bergoglio.

Murphy-O’Connor had been dismayed when Pope Benedict XVI was elected at the previous conclave and was determined to avoid another conservative Pope.

Ms Pepinster, whose book The Keys and The Kingdom: Britain and the Papacy from John Paul II to Francis is published next month, said: “Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor was a popular, genial man but beneath his jovial exterior was someone of great canniness who knew exactly how the Vatican worked.

“And that canniness meant he ensured his friend was elected Pope Francis - a pope who has made a huge impact on the Catholic Church and the world. There have been kingmakers in history; Cormac Murphy-O’Connor turned out to be a popemaker.”

Pope Francis was elected on March 13 2013, the second day of the conclave, on the fifth ballot. He need two-thirds of the 115 votes to win. It is thought the votes delivered by Murphy-O’Connor were instrumental. The two men became close friends after meeting for the first time when they were made cardinals on the same day by Pope John Paul II.

In 2013, Murphy-O’Connor was too old to vote under Vatican rules, but he travelled to Rome, like many other elderly non-voting cardinals, to participate in talks, called congregations, before the conclave.

Shortly after his elevation, Pope Francis was overheard telling Murphy-O’Connor: “Tuo e colpevole”, translated as “you’re to blame”.

Does Bergoglio of Rome support legalised and recognised same sex civil unions?

Has Bergoglio endorsed so-called "same-sex civil unions?"

“Marriage between people of the same sex? ‘Marriage’ is a historical word. Always in humanity, and not only within the Church, it’s between a man and a woman… we cannot change that. This is the nature of things. This is how they are. Let’s call them ‘civil unions.’ Lets not play with the truth. It’s true that behind it there is a gender ideology. In books also, children are learning that they can choose their own sex. Why is sex, being a woman or a man, a choice and not a fact of nature? This favors this mistake. But let’s say things as they are: Marriage is between a man and a woman. This is the precise term. Lets call unions between the same sex ‘civil unions’.”

The "Gay-Catholic" mafia lobby, New Ways Ministry seems to think so.

https://newwaysministryblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/02/pope-francis-says-he-supports-civil-unions-for-lesbian-and-gay-couples/

So what is it Jorge. Do you support legalised same sex civil unions?

Only one way out of this mess

The Church is in its gravest crisis since the Arian heresy. I would argue that the very Arian heresy is back again with us today. It is simply inconceivable that the leaders of the Church today actually believe that Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, is God. If they truly believed it, they would not have promulgated Amoris Laetitia nor would homosexualists such as James Martin, S.J., and countless others, be allowed to spread their poisonous bile by their Superiors.

Earlier today, the evil leaders of the northern part of the Korean peninsula explodes an underground test of a hydrogen bomb five times more powerful than what was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the earthquake which followed was nearly 6.3 on the Richter Scale. People suffer losses of life, homes, jobs and normalcy in Texas, and the media is worried about stiletto heals. We are truly deluded if we think we can get out of this on our own.

Louis Verrecchio has your Sunday reading.

Bergoglio praises Communists, again! They are the "real Christians"

Do you remember when popes confirmed their brothers in the faith and safeguarded it to pass it on to the next generation? What a time that was, when speaking to Catholic cardinals was more important than sitting for interviews with members of the secular media. 

Bergoglio of Rome has given another series of interviews, this time to a French writer, Dominque Wolton, reportedly, an agnostic. This them of course is not new to this Bergoglio; he often submits himself to be interviewed by the atheist Eugenio Scalfari of La Repubblica, better that than meeting with ones Cardinals to answer to ones heresy and undermining of Biblical truth and Catholic doctrine.

There is so much to unpack in this book of Bergoglian bile. much of it seems like a rehashing of previous statements, the youth and rigidity being an example, but we'll save that for next time.

The post below is from November 11, 2016. Bergoglio had just made a revealing statement about communists being real Christians. Well, if once was not enough for this deranged Peronist who has been placed by evil men on the Chair of Peter, then let's just double-down on all that communist love, shall we?

Just because a communist state gives "free" health care, doesn't make it Christian. 

Referencing a communist activist who greatly influenced Bergoglio, Esther Bellestrino de Careaga, he said:

"She taught me to think about political reality, ... I owe so much to this woman, I was told once, 'But you are a Communist!' No, the Communists are the Christians. It's the others who stole our banner!"

The post below shows the consistency of this deranged and dangerous man.

May God deliver us from this evil  man and send us a truly holy Pope who will "restore all things in Christ."

And yet, we would He? Do we deserve it?

Alas, a chastisement is more likely.

BERGOGLIO PRAISES COMMUNISTS

Original published 11/11/16

Scalfari: You told me some time ago that the precept, “Love your neighbour as thyself” had to change, given the dark times that we are going through, and become “more than thyself.” So you yearn for a society where equality dominates. This, as you know, is the programme of Marxist socialism and then of communism. Are you therefore thinking of a Marxist type of society?

Bergoglio: “It has been said many times and my response has always been that, if anything, it is the communists who think like Christians. Christ spoke of a society where the poor, the weak and the marginalized have the right to decide. Not demagogues, not Barabbas, but the people, the poor, whether they have faith in a transcendent God or not. It is they who must help to achieve equality and freedom”.

Vox: There is nothing which I can say that won't be vulgar and uncharitable.

Mean old bloggers

Do all the widdle bloggers make you angry?

From Elizabeth Yore:

Spadaro S.J. disingenuously asserts that his article is “not our intention to demonize anybody,” despite labeling traditional Catholics as haters, and singling out Trump Senior Advisor, Steve Bannon, as a “promoter of apocalyptic geopolitics.” Not surprisingly, Spadaro drops the Bannon slur in the notoriously favored Francis footnote. See fn. 1.  The Vatican cleverly buries smack talk in footnotes, so readers won’t think that they are unmerciful. This well honed literary tactic was also deployed cunningly in Amoris Laetitia by changing Catholic dogma in a footnote, conveniently providing deniability and detachment. 

Francis and Fr. Spadaro, S.J.

In a separate interview about his La Civilita Cattolica article, Spadaro, S.J. reveals the underlying political motivation behind the Vatican “ecumenism of hate” rant:

“But certainly, we see the multiplication of websites, blogs, and Twitter accounts that tend to move public opinionand react in lively and often in a violent and fundamentalist way. These realities create a bubble within themselves...It is found everywhere. I do not say it is a majority phenomenon, but it is something that is present in the life of the People of God today.”

Apparently, traditional Catholic bloggers have gotten under Francis’ thin skin. The underlying cause of the Pope’s angst is that the conservative Catholic bloggers and websites are making their voice heard by daring to promote the Catholic faith and exposing the papal plots and diabolical alliances. Fr. Spadaro, Francis’ close confidante, is alarmed at traditionalists on the Internet because they tend to move public opinion. Horrors!

Francis, the Merciful, Inc. is distraught over its declining papal popularity poll numbers and blames the conservative blogosphere.

So sue me!

Bergoglio, the Great Liturgist

Two posts below are my comments on Bergoglio's laughable "Magisterial" teaching that the liturgical reform is "irreversible."

Here are some examples of his liturgical obedience and wisdom.

And he still doesn't genuflect at the Consecration!

Pope Francis: Life in prison is a death sentence - and now imprisonment is "torture"

The post below was published on October 23, 2014. It was due to outrageous comments by Bergoglio of Rome on the matter of life in prison. He has again opined on prison and sentencing that imprisonment is an "instrument of torture," unless it has a future of "hope."

http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2017/08/27/imprisonment-without-hope-for-the-future-is-torture-pope-says/

Once again, this man proves he has no business being the Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Christ. The first duty of the State is the safety of its people, from those who would invade it from outside and those who would act against the citizens from within. The State has failed in both of these. Not only does this Bergoglio want to see Europe overrun with migrant peoples who will undermine and destroy the already weak Christian culture, he cares not about the safety of the citizens from those who would do them ill. At least, he's consistent.

Enough of this Peronist!

Does he call these men and the invading hordes to Christ?

Pope Francis received and addressed the International Association of Criminal Law. The Holy Father condemned Capital Punishment and life imprisonment. 

What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church say about this?

2266 The efforts of the state to curb the spread of behavior harmful to people's rights and to the basic rules of civil society correspond to the requirement of safeguarding the common good. Legitimate public authority has the right and duty to inflict punishment proportionate to the gravity of the offense. Punishment has the primary aim of redressing the disorder introduced by the offense. When it is willingly accepted by the guilty party, it assumes the value of expiation. Punishment then, in addition to defending public order and protecting people's safety, has a medicinal purpose: as far as possible, it must contribute to the correction of the guilty party.

2267 Assuming that the guilty party's identity and responsibility have been fully determined, the traditional teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor.

What I find particularly inappropriate about what Pope Francis said is this statement:

“All Christians and people of goodwill are called today to fight not only for the abolition of the death penalty be it legal or illegal, in all of its forms, but also for the improvement of prison conditions in the respect of the human dignity of those who have been deprived of freedom. I link this to the death sentence. In the Penal Code of the Vatican, the sanction of life sentence is no more. A life sentence is a death sentence which is concealed”.

I will quote a few of the names of the most heinous serial killers in Canada and the United States.

Paul Bernardo
Clifford Olson 
Robert Pickton
Ted Bundy
John Wayne Gasey
Kermit Gosnell
Richard Ramirez
Charles Manson
Albert DeSalvo

Holy Father, with all respect we hear much from you about justice and mercy. Where is justice and where is mercy for the families of their victims  which will until they die, live a life sentence?

With all respect, Holy Father, you have the right to an opinion but to teach this, is another matter. Are you planning a rewriting of the Catechism of the Catholic Church because quite "frankly" you are clearly in disagreement with this magisterial document. 

Life in prison is like Hell. Those there put themselves in it.

The Novus Ordo is "irreversible?" Sorry Jorge, you do not get the last word!

In a catechesis on the liturgy, the man who violated liturgical law consistently in Buenos Aires and then, dispensing with it for himself once elected Bishop of Rome, has said not only that the liturgical revolution of Montini and Bugnini is "irreversible" but he bemoans "those practices which disfigure it." 

For years, as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Bergoglio washed the feet of women on Holy Thursday the rubrics were clearly laid out and not changed after Vatican II, as "viri" - men! He continues that what Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre called the "bastard rite," is here to stay.

He has even said that it is "magisterial" that the modernist rite's existence is "irreversible." 

That's rich, really rich. Who can believe this man with this preposterous nonsense? Quo Primum was irreversible too, right? But you see, they knew they could not change the Mass as per Quo Primum, so they didn't. They simply set it aside and created a bastard in its place. If that could be done, then this rotten fruit of Montini and Bugnini can be trodden under foot into the dirt where it belongs.

He can opine on this matter all he wants, I can opine too. The fruit is there for all to see, rotten, bug-infested, spoilt fruit. A bad tree cannot produce good fruit.

The Novus Ordo Missae, in its current form, was never called for by the Second Vatican Council. The reforms, which actually began under Pius XII and which many today decry, were essentially met in the 1965 edition of the Roman Missal, a vernacular "Liturgy of the Word," followed by the retention of Latin from the Offertory throughout the Roman Canon with Propers intact and simplified rubrics without the removal of certain "repetitions." What was missing, was the debatable reformed Lectionary.

Those who believe that the current "Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite," is the Mass as it was anticipated by the Council Fathers are simply ignorant or malicious. Historical fact proves otherwise. Yet, nearly every one of those Council Fathers who booed and hissed poor Cardinal Ottoviani and then cheered the insult of a shut-off microphone, all went along with it. Their actions in those early days of October 1963 have lead to the virtual collapse of Catholicism in Europe, the Americas and nearly everywhere in Oceania. Africa is the one where the faith is not in retreat.

When the churches of France continue to empty, and priests continue to die, the only ones left will be those of the traditional Orders. Vocations, since 2013, are down in most parts of the world. The Novus Ordo Mass, while valid under the usual conditions, is an abomination. It strains credulity and tortures the mind when one tries to square the circle that the Holy Spirit of God is the culprit behind a liturgy that virtually eliminates the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity from the ritual, and rebukes 1600 years of organic liturgical worship. It is a blasphemy to even think that the Holy Spirit of the Triune God actively willed the disaster of the modernists-masonic rite and the evil work that came out of the Second Vatican Council.

The proof in the rightness of the Latin Rite in its solemn fullness is to compare it with the solemnity of the Byzantine, Alexandrian and Syriac Churches. The Novus Ordo is a pale shell of the sacred rite and an insult to the ancient liturgies of the Ethiopians and Copts, and the Syriacs, - Maronites, (except those silly enough to want to be Latinised). Persians, Syro-Malabars and Malankars and the Byzantines - Ukrainians, Ruthenians and Melkites.

The Novus Ordo Mass along with the Novus Ordo "church" is in a free-fall collapse. Bergoglio of Rome can continue the party line but it does not hide the truth. The Catholic world is in full apostasy and it began at the top. This man-centered "church" will collapse along with its bastard rite. What will remain are those faithful Catholics who will not renounce the faith of their fathers and those Catholics whose eyes will be opened.

The future is in tradition and it is the opinion of this writer that the Holy Spirit of God was acting through Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to maintain the liturgy and the faith until such time as the rest of the Church finds its way to wake up from the drunken stupor which it has found itself in and kicks out the whore with whom it has fornicated.
