The Vatican clearly knows that nobody believes Bergoglio is fit for office, so much so that they need to bring out Joseph Ratzinger to say that he really is

On the eve of the fifth anniversary of the darkness of the Bergoglian papacy that descended upon the Chuch, the Vatican says, after Pope Benedict was presented with a Vatican-published series of 11 books entitled “The Theology of Pope Francis," he said:

“I applaud this initiative, it contradicts the foolish prejudice of those who see Pope Francis as someone who lacks a particular theological and philosophical formation, while I would have been solely a theorist of theology with little understanding of the concrete lives of today’s Christian."
 The books, he says, “reasonably demonstrate that Pope Francis is a man with profound philosophical and theological formation and are helpful to see the interior continuity between the two pontificates, even with all the differences in style and temperament.”

Pfft.

Nick Donnelly, Vox Cantoris now Infovaticana - who's next on the Bergoglian hit list?

Yet another attempt by corrupt church officials to silence faithful Catholics.

It was just over three years ago when a Vatican communications "expert" attempted to sue this writer over his objection to the reasonable response to his public commentary. Between pressure from his Order, financiers, a Cardinal, Breitbart, and hundreds of blogs around the world, the matter ended in embarrassment and ridicule for him and boosted this blog from just over 600,000 page views after ten years to what will be 5,000,000 by Easter or sooner, depending on Pope Bergoglio.

This came after the silencing of Deacon Nick Donnelly and his blog "Protect the Pope," which the bishop then denied forcing the closure. Deacon Donnelly is quite active on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ProtecttheFaith where he wrote on March 9; “Four years ago this week I was forced to stand down from my blog http://www.protectthepope.com. I was told that 'men of high standing' had complained about my posts. All my requests to recommence PtP have been refused. The truth is Protect the Pope was closed down.”

Now, we see that the Vatican itself is attempting through an American law firm to shut down the Spanish blog, Infovaticana. They write, "The Vatican Secretariat of State wants InfoVaticana to close, and has contracted for it one of the most powerful law firms in the world, which does not accept any agreement that does not involve the final closure of this portal and the delivery of the InfoVaticana domain. com to your client." 

The background on the story can also be read at ChurchMilitant who with Michael Voris was instrumental in assisting this writer's pushback against the "high profiled Vatican official" that attempted to silence this writer.

The Vatican, it seems, has learnt nothing from the past. Infovaticana must stand firm in this assault on freedom of thought, speech and expression and in violation of Canon 212.

Bergoglio, Parolin and the rest of these malefactors should understand it perfectly clear, we're not going away anytime soon.

Get used to it.

Honduran Bishop Pineda, Auxilliary to Maradiaga accused of gross sexual perversion - why has Bergoglio and Ouellet left him in place?

Former Seminarians Allege Grave Sexual Misconduct by Honduran Bishop Pineda

The testimonies, submitted by former Archdiocese of Tegucigalpa seminarians to a Vatican investigation, reinforce existing concerns about the archdiocesan auxiliary bishop’s conduct.

Edward Pentin

VATICAN CITY — The Register has obtained the text of two testimonies, submitted by former seminarians to a Vatican investigator, detailing allegations of serious sexual misconduct by Auxiliary Bishop Juan José Pineda Fasquelle of the Archdiocese of Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

The content of the testimonies, along with previously known allegations of sexual misconduct by the bishop and additional information provided to the Register by sources within Honduras, has reinforced widespread existing concerns about the conduct of Bishop Pineda.

These concerns are heightened by the fact that Bishop Pineda has been in charge of the archdiocese since early January, while its archbishop, top papal adviser Cardinal Oscar Andrés Rodriguez Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa, undergoes chemotherapy treatment in Houston, Texas, for prostate cancer.

Bergoglio ignores pleas of Maradiaga victims of fraud - who "spent a lot of money to help him become a Cardinal"

Bergoglio friend and confidant Oscar Maradiaga has been implicated in financial fraud. The corruption and investigation of the Bishop of Rome's advisor began in December. Now, it is revealed of a direct case where friends of Maradiaga were taken in by him and Vatican officials, including Bergoglio, have done nothing.

"Deceived and betrayed, they stole everything." The charges against the Pope's right arm

The wife of the former head of the Vatican Diplomatic Corps speaks. "The cardinal Oscar Maradiaga, our brotherly friend for 40 years, in 2012 has pushed us to invest our money with a London financier who then disappeared into thin air. I spoke with Francesco and Parolin, but the investigation of the Holy See has been firm for a year.  

BY EMILIANO FITTIPALDI

“You wrote well. Cardinal Oscar Maradiaga, the right-hand man of Pope Francis, has deceived us.  In 2012, he pushed me and my husband to invest a lot of money into a London investment fund, managed by a Muslim friend, Youssry Henien, who then disappeared into nothing with our money. I told everything to Pope Francis, even before his apostolic visitor who conducted an investigation in Honduras. But a year has passed, and neither I nor other victims have obtained justice. It's a shame. My husband and I have welcomed our Maradiaga home for 40 years, and he has repaid this way ".

Martha Alegria Reichmann shows her photos and her daughters together with the high cardinal. "He betrayed us, he destroyed us," he repeats as if he were still incredulous of what happened. Everyone in the Vatican knows it. Martha is, in fact, the wife of former powerful Dean of the Vatican Diplomatic Corps Alejandro Valladares, for 22 years ambassador of Honduras to the Holy See. A good friend of Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, who made a moving funeral eulogy at the end of 2013.

'Espresso contacted the Reichmann after hearing that the Pope had opened an inquiry into the diocese of Tegucigalpa, the episcopal seat of Cardinal Maradiaga. Not just any cardinal, but a prelate very close to Bergoglio, who became his principal advisor following his election to the Petrine throne. Coordinator of the C9, the group of nine cardinals advising the pontiff in the management of the universal church and in the reform of the curia, in May 2017 he and his auxiliary bishop Juan Pineda were accused of serious events by a series of Honduran witnesses, who handed over sworn depositions to Pedro Casaretto, the Argentine bishop sent by Francesco to investigate a diocese that has been for too long a chat.

The report for almost a year is in the hands of the pontiff, who for now has not made any decision about it. The people listened to are fifty, and among them is the widow Valladares.

"I hesitated to have you interviewed by me because I hoped until the end that justice was done without raising a public scandal. 40 years of fraternal friendship bound me to Cardinal Maradiaga. We shared beautiful and ugly things, but trust in them has always been blind. And vice-versa. When he returned to our home after the last conclave he told what had happened. He even told us that he had convinced Bergoglio to accept the investiture because initially the Pope would have said he was not in perfect health, he was worried about having only one lung. Intimacy was absolute. He told my husband and me that we were his family. He knows very well that my husband spent a lot of money in the Vatican in 2001 to help him become a cardinal. At the time Maradiaga certainly had many merits, as he explained to Casaretto almost a year ago ("I was in Tegucigalpa, the apostolic visitor called fifty witnesses to present our denunciations against Pineda." The statements were made before a crucifix and with one hand over the Bible " ), Reichmann confirms that the story begins in 2012,when the cardinal suggests to her and the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps to make an investment with a London company, Leman Wealth Management. "He was a guest at our house in Rome, as always when he came to the Vatican from Honduras. One evening he was the one who put Leman's speech in the middle, suddenly. My husband and I had never heard the name of the company or that of its owner, such as Henien. Maradiaga assured us that this financial was serious, and made investments in Switzerland, Germany and other European countries. He stressed that the investment allowed high interest rates and that he was more than sure, adding that he too had invested the money of the diocese of Tegucigalpa. "

Maradiaga,  when a month ago the Espresso published the investigation on money   (about 35 thousand euro a month) received from the Catholic university owned by the diocese, not only said that the sums went to the diocese that turned them to the neediest (in official budget found then by who writes, however, there is no trace of the sums of the university). But he also strongly denied that the archbishopric ever authorized "these types of investments", even denying that he knew Henien's society. In short, it does not accept any accusation of "fraudulent intermediation".

The widow shakes her head. "My husband was very skeptical about the operation. He was persuaded by the insistence of the cardinal, who told us he had done the necessary checks, and that everything was clean and safe. It was Maradiaga who gave us the contacts of Mr. Henien. " The two friends of the cardinal decide to try, they know the London financier and entrust all their savings. The amount is specified in the documents held by the Espresso. After a year, however, when the ambassador is dead, the widow and her daughters realize that something is wrong. There is nothing on the accounts where Henien had said he had put the savings of a lifetime. The financier is untraceable. The Leman Wealth Management results from the data of the London Chamber of Commerce, closed in November 2012.

"We realized we were cheated. We did investigations and found that this financier was already finished in the past in similar situations. I tried to contact Maradiaga but was denied for months and months. I went to the Tegucigalpa cathedral when he celebrated mass, and I managed to exchange a few words. He told me that he was an injured party like us, that he too had lost money from the diocese, but he asked me for discretion. I told him that I had already entrusted the case to an Italian law firm based in London but that the costs of the case were very high. He offered to help us and gave us the money to start legal procedures. On that same occasion, he ordered me never to say that it was he himself who introduced us to Henien. "

The widow of the ambassador knows that his accusations are heavy. "I saw that after your first investigation he said there would be a plot against the Pope. But it's ridiculous to think that my daughters and my daughters, friends of the cardinal, have always been able to lie and invent a story like this by harming a person to whom we gave everything. The Holy Father, whom I met last November, ordered an investigation into Pineda. A man whom Maradiaga has been protecting for years. I was also contacted because five years ago I denounced Pineda for theft, also he betrayed my husband when he was in agony and did not have the means to defend himself. I told Casaretto that my complaint was hidden for years, Maradiaga - whom I still considered a beacon - had strongly insisted that I not present it.

In fact, in Casaretto's report, there are some reports of priests and former highly detailed and very serious seminarians on the behaviour of the prelate whom Maradiaga referred to as his auxiliary. "His victims now live in fear, because they have reported Pineda and see that nothing has happened. They understood that Pineda is protected by Oscar, and it seems clear to me that Maradiaga is protected by the Pope ".

From the Vatican, despite the attempts made, no one has so far wanted to comment on the accusations of Martha, nor those of the other witnesses against Pineda and the cardinal. Casaretto's dossier ended first in the Congregation of Bishops, then in Francesco's drawer. "I asked for an audience with the Pope and I was received by him on November 21st. He told me he was aware of all my history and that he had already given directions to the secretariat of state to solve everything. " Martha hopes to get back the lost money from Henien, perhaps with an intervention by the man who had put them in touch. "It's been three months, I spoke with Parolin and his secretaries, who proposed me a few days ago a solver meeting with Maradiaga in the Vatican. I was hoping a lot. But after a long wait, the meeting is skipped. Is it possible that a cardinal ignores the Pope's wishes? I have heard that he refers to me as mad and that I will never succeed in regaining what I have lost. Maybe. But I'm tired of being teased, and I decided to tell all the pain that caused me. I am the first victim to take this step, but I know that others will follow my example. "

The widow closes her purse and gets up. We do not know if he has the necessary evidence to convince the Pope of the truthfulness of his accusations against his right-hand man and his most loyal ones. But he certainly does not look like a madman, nor a dangerous conspirator belonging to some conservative faction that wants to hit Francis's reforms. "I hope the Pope will help me. He greeted me with words of comfort, promising that I would have justice. He told me how he was a father full of love. "

The gnostic errors in the Bergoglian CDF's "Placuit Deo"

From our good colleague, S.Armaticus at Deus Ex Machina below is the imported Twitter feed from Veri Catholici's assessment of the letter from the CDF.

Below is the reproduction of the Veri Catholici Twitter string on the subject and the full commentary on the Placuit Deo Letter of the CDF:

The CDF letter, “Placuit Deo” contains several grave errors and heresies: In this Thread, these will be explained. The document is at:

http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2018/03/01/0160/00317.html#en …

The first grave error, which is implicitly heretical, is the phrase “Christian Salvation”, which implies there is salvation apart from Christ and makes the only Salvation, which is Christ, merely a species of salvation in general.

Second, the English translation follows the usage of godless Atheists in denying the honorific capitalization to the Divine Nature, the Mediator etc., which Catholics are accustomed to

Third, the letter falls into the error of Gnosticism/Heraclitus’ metaphysics when it says, “The teaching on salvation in Christ must always be deepened.” As if there is something insufficient or ineffective in the plain preaching of the Gospel contained in Scripture and Tradition

Fourth, the Letter falls into gender confusion when it says, “Holding fast to the gaze of the Lord Jesus, the Church turns toward all persons with a maternal love” Because the Church is feminine and Christ is masculine and that colours their vision.

 Fifth, the Letter establishes a new deposit of the faith (“the greater tradition of the faith and with particular reference to the teachings of Pope Francis”) which is both objectively and ontologically different from that of Scripture and Sacred Tradition

These 5 points show that the Letter is formally Gnostic while claiming to denounce “Gnosticism”. This is a very deceptive and dangerous document. We warn all the Faithful to reject it!

 Sixth, the Letter advances the errors of Personalism, which infect the Pontifical Institutes at Rome, and which redefines salvation as the salvation of the human person, rather than of the soul, and the body only in virtue of the Resurrection in the world to come.

Seventh, the Letter in II, 2, presents an ontological soteriology divorced from all moral causes and effects as if sin and repentance from it are not essential or key themes in true soteriology. This is pure Gnosticism of the classical kind.

Eight, despite its attempts to avoid neo-Pelagianism, the letter in II, 4, falls into classical Pelagianism when it writes, “so that we are able to unite ourselves to the Father as sons in the

Ninth, the Letter reiterates a key error of Personalism when it writes in III, 5 “Man perceives himself, directly or indirectly, as a mystery”, this confounds the Mysteries of revelation and true religion, with existentialist conceptions of individuality and existence.

Tenth, the Letter falls into the errors of Americanism by claiming that all men seek happiness and are in pursuit of it. Catholic teaching is that all men, wounded by original sin, no longer seek blessedness but idolatrous images of it, unless they are saved by the grace of Christ.

 Eleventh, the Letter incompetently attempts to expound a Christian anthropology without confessing that there is a Creator of man, that man’s principal part is his soul, and that salvation consists both in an ontological and a moral conversion!

Twelfth, the Letter in III, 7 falls into the implicitly heretical position of saying that evil comes from man’s heart when the Catholic Faith holds from the beginning that evil is from the pride of Lucifer who seduced Angels and who can have power over material things.

Thirteenth, in III, n. 8 the Letter has a non-sequitur, “Therefore, Divine salvation takes on the creaturely order shared by all humanity and accompanies their concrete journey in history.” whereby it introduces a soteriology for irrational things to support Ecologic marxism.

Fourteenth, in III n. 8, it repeats the sloppy notion of B16 that Being a Christian is an encounter, when in fact Trent teaches that it begins with justification and sanctification which is the result of Divine Action, not merely an encounter.

Fifteenth, in IV, n.9 we find 1 Catholic paragraph, which contains a correct explanation, but is ideologically isolated from the rest of the Letter, whose errors it does not sufficiently refute.

Sixteenth, in V, n. 12, the Letter fails to correctly identify the Catholic Church and scrupulously omits the word “Catholic” and thus gives support to the error that there is good hope for salvation outside the Catholic Church.

Seventeenth, in V. 12, the Letter reiterates Bergoglian pantheism when it states: “In her, we touch the flesh of Jesus, especially in our poorest and most suffering brothers and sisters.” Confounding sarx with somata to promote the elevation of eros to the level of caritas.

Eighteenth, in V. 14, the Letter falls into the error of asserting human relationships as necessary for salvation, even though many a Saintly hermit spoke and communed with no one for decades and the rest of their lives!

Nineteenth, in VI, 15, the Letter repeats the nonsensical and absurd doctrine of Salvation by Dialogue, and omits direct reference to preaching the Gospel necessity of accepting Christ or being damned, as Christ Himself said, not dialogued: Repent and Believe!

Finally, if a student in a theology course at a Pontifical University had written this document, VC would give them a 3 out of 10 for its poor attempt to reiterate Catholic Doctrine on the key errors of our day.

Please share this critique because so many “scholars” have been fooled by this document, very cleverly written to introduce heresy into the mind of unsuspecting and un-alert Catholics.

Church in China has religious features forcibly demolished

State orders Yining Catholic Church in Xinjiang region to have its crosses, statues and bell towers pulled down

Under orders from communist authorities, workers in a crane get to work on removing religious features from Yining Catholic Church in Urumqi Diocese. (Photo supplied)

A church in northwest China's Xinjiang region had its crosses, statues, bell towers and other religious features demolished by order of communist authorities.

Using a crane, state-instructed workers removed the exterior religious features from the Catholic church of Yining city in Urumqi Diocese on Feb. 27.

A source told ucanews.com that no reason was given for the action but it  is believed to have been carried out because the religious features were "incompatible with sinicization."

The source said three crosses and two bell towers on the top of Yining Catholic Church were demolished and that all religious symbols, two big statues and any reliefs were removed.

"It was originally said religious features inside the church should been demolished as well but it was suspended without any reasons given," the source said.

The church received a letter from the authorities the day before informing them the demolition would occur.

The source said he was puzzled by what has happened to the church because of it occurred just before the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the National People's Congress are both held in Beijing on March 3 and 5 respectively and while a Sino-Vatican agreement was supposedly being worked out.

The source said that last November a cross on a church steeple in Manas city of Xinjiang was also demolished for sinicization purposes.

"So it appears that crosses should be demolished for sinicization," said the source. "Maybe one day, all the churches will be demolished since they are so modern and beautiful and are against the purpose of sinicization?" he asked.

In eastern Zhejiang province, more than 1,500 churches, both Catholic and Protestant, have been targeted for demolition or cross removals in recent years, sources have said in a campaign against churches not coming under state control. Chinese authorities are increasingly using property regulations to remove crosses and demolish churches.

The source said he thinks what occurred to Yining Catholic Churchit may be related to local political tensions in the region. The Chinese authorities have long repressed ethnic minorities, especially the Uyghurs,  and religions in Xinjiang, often under the guise of fighting "terrorism." In recent months, tens of thousands of Uyghurs have been forced into reeducation camps and prisons across the region.

Carlo Martini, the Jesuit Devil behind Bergoglianism

The Man Who Was “Ante-Pope”

JULIA MELONI

Before his death in 2012, Cardinal Carlo Martini eerily called himself an “ante-pope,” a “precursor and preparer for the Holy Father.”

Martini was the leading antagonist to Popes John Paul II and Benedict—a Jesuit famous for groaning that the Church was “200 years behind.” In Night Conversations with Cardinal Martini, he cringed at the “major damage” caused by Humanae Vitae. The Church spoke “too much” about the sixth commandment and sin. He said legal abortion was, ultimately, “positive.”

For Martini saw himself as a dreamer who kept us “open to the surprises of the Holy Spirit.” Hadn’t the prophet Joel said that your sons and daughters would prophesy and your old men would dream dreams? The old cardinal dreamed of young “prophets” who’d criticize the Church and a “strong middle generation” who’d effect “changes.”

Martini said that in “preparation” for the 2005 papal election, he and others discussed the “new answers” that the next pope would “have to give” on sexuality and Communion for adulterers. For Martini was the leader of the St. Gallen “mafia,” the anti-Ratzinger group that wanted a “much more modern” Church under Cardinal Bergoglio.

According to Austen Ivereigh’s The Great Reformer, Cardinal Bergoglio quoted Martini frequently and was introduced by him to the Gallen group after the two Jesuits reconnected in 2001. Cardinal Bergoglio placed second in the 2005 conclave, amidst a “dramatic struggle.” The group reportedly ceased meeting the following year, and Martini—long sick with Parkinson’s—died in 2012.

But in a fiery last interview published immediately after his death, the ante-pope burned with disdain.
