How many of our Shepherds today actually read their Office?

As I may have written previously, the Fox and I have been praying, for a while now, the Divine Office from the Divino Afflatu, most perfectly reformed by Pope St. Pius X, and with its most recent pre-Bugnini calendar of 1951. Today, is the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome done away with in 1960 by John XXIII and incorporated on to the February 22 Feast of the Chair of Peter at Antioch, where it resides in both the Divine Office of 1962 and the Liturgy of the Hours which came along only a decade later. 

If one clicks on this link, it is pre-set to compare the day's Divino Afflatu and the Divine Office, just click on the appropriate Hour to compare, Matins, or Matutinum, being the most glaring destruction. Clearly, the liturgical destruction did not begin after the Second Vatican Council, the seeds were already planted and well-watered.

When one compares even the beginning of the impoverishment in 1962 with the Liturgy of the Hours, particularly Matins or the Office of Readings, it is even more profoundly tragic. Yet, not all is lost in the current books, while one can deplore its brevity, and its missing psalms and edited psalms, the Readings themselves, are quite good.

Yesterday, a good priest friend sent me the Reading from Monday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time.

Second Reading

From a letter to the Ephesians by Saint Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr

Have faith in Christ, and love

Try to gather together more frequently to give thanks to God and to praise him. For when you come together frequently, Satan’s powers are undermined, and the destruction he threatens is done away with in the unanimity of your faith. Nothing is better than peace, in which all warfare between heaven and earth is brought to an end.

None of this will escape you if you have perfect faith and love toward Jesus Christ. These are the beginning and the end of life: faith the beginning, love the end. When these two are found together, there is God, and everything else concerning right living follows from them. No one professing faith sins; no one possessing love hates. “A tree is known by its fruit.” So those who profess to belong to Christ will be known by what they do. For the work we are about is not a matter of words here and now, but depends on the power of faith and on being found faithful to the end.

It is better to remain silent and to be than to talk and not be. Teaching is good if the teacher also acts. Now there was one teacher who “spoke, and it was made,” and even what he did in silence is worthy of the Father. He who has the word of Jesus can truly listen also to his silence, in order to be perfect, that he may act through his speech and be known by his silence. Nothing is hidden from the Lord, but even our secrets are close to him. Let us then do everything in the knowledge that he is dwelling within us so that we may be his temples and he may be God within us. He is, and will reveal himself, in our sight, according to the love we bear him in holiness.

“Make no mistake,” my brothers: those who corrupt families “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” If those who do these things in accordance with the flesh have died, how much worse will it be if one corrupts through evil doctrine the faith of God for which Jesus was crucified. Such a person, because he is defiled, will depart into the unquenchable fire, as will any one who listens to him.

For the Lord received anointing on his head in order that he might breathe incorruptibility on the Church. Do not be anointed with the evil odour of the teachings of the prince of this world, do not let him lead you captive away from the life that is set before you. But why is it that we are not all wise when we have received the knowledge of God, which is Jesus Christ? Why do we perish in our stupidity, not knowing the gift the Lord has truly sent us?

My spirit is given over to the humble service of the cross which is a stumbling block to unbelievers but to us salvation and eternal life.

My response to him was, "Well, it is pretty obvious that most churchmen do not read their Office!"

Plagues of Egypt: from the Church in Argentina to the Church Universal and Bergoglian attack on the traditional Mass

BREAKING: Earthquakes throughout Italy felt in Rome
http://www.emsc-csem.org/

A few days ago, I came across the Argentine Blog, Sagrada Tradicion, and this blog post from September 19, 2010. It was just three years after Summorum Pontificum and just under three years from the election of the man featured in this important article. We knew early from various news sources on Rorate Caeli of the persecution of the traditional Mass by then Cardinal Bergoglio. In light of concerns recently raised by Sandro Magister, a look back at this story from nearly seven years ago, is important to reveal where we may be going.

If Bishop of Rome Bergoglio attempts to undermine the growth and provision of the traditional Latin Rite of the Mass, it will be his undoing.

Let this be a warning to all of us, and to him.

Bergoglio: The Seven Plagues from Egypt for the Argentine Church

Francisco José Fernández de la Cigoña

An Argentine reader, undoubtedly overestimating the strength of the Blog, asks me for help that on my own doing is not going to proceed. And more so, agreeing that Cardinal Bergoglio is the most directly responsible for the current decline of the Church in Argentina.

There is exactly a year, three months and a day -seems to be a criminal conviction- so that the archbishop of Buenos Aires may present the resignation of his archdiocese, or of what remains of it, to the Holy Father. I hope it’s accepted immediately.

And Bergoglio has not only been a calamity for his archiepiscopate, but has extended his evil influence to the whole nation over whose Church prevails for soul’s perdition.

This is the letter of the unknown Argentine friend:

Dear Don Paco Pepe:

I know that you do not have much time, but I have not been able to synthesize more what I want to tell you, I beg you to have the patience to read it until the end:

I have been following your blog for a long time, not remembering very well if I have ever written to you.

Our blog, Catholic Page, is dedicated mainly to provide the audio of the Sunday sermons and some conferences of very good Catholic authors.

http://pagina-catolica.blogspot.com

But at the same time, I was personally in charge of a Chapel in the Buenos Aires archdiocese (at the request of the previous parish priest), called the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The last four years, with the effort of neighbors, families with many children in general, the chapel that had been closed for 25 years lived the splendor of the traditional liturgy (Novus Ordo in Latin, Gregorian chant, kneeling Communion, etc.). To the point where there was no place for the people who filled the path. Such ceremonies are almost never seen in Buenos Aires. I remember an old woman who said, "How beautiful! It's the same as watching the Pope's Mass on TV." With this you can have an idea of what the Chapel used to be.

The RP Dr. Alfredo Sáenz, SJ celebrated mass regularly. He is one of the most lucid minds of the local and American Catholicism. Author of more than 50 books and international speaker. In a recent trip to Rome where he was one of the experts convened by the Pontifical Council for Culture, which sponsored a Congress on the Church and American Emancipation, he visited Cardinal Cañizares and told him about the "experiment" of the Chapel, for which he received congratulations from both the Cardinal and Mons. Ferrer.

Then more celebrants were added, some four in total, which made it possible for 4 years not to miss the Holy Mass any Sunday or feast of precept, including Holy Week celebrations. 

With this background I want to tell you three episodes.

1 Prohibition of the Tridentine Mass in 2007:

That year, after the publication of the Motu Proprio, we went to the former parish priest, Father Carlos White, to ask him to give place to the Tridentine Mass in our chapel, without canceling the Novus Ordo. He said yes, so that on October 14, 2007, a very solemn Mass was sung. Another was foreseen for the 28th of the same month, but Cardinal Bergoglio (whose plan on the subject didn’t match with this mass), ordered to close it definitively, which was communicated to us by the Parochial Vicar, by the Chaplain of the traditionalists here, by the Pastor and by the Episcopal Vicar of the Zone (always by word). As a result, we had the suspension of the Tridentine Mass in October 2007 until now.

2 Closing of the Sacred Heart Chapel in 2010:

After this outrage, the neighbors decided to remain silent (not to go to Ecclesia Dei) because, knowing the persecutory ways of Bergoglio, we prefer to stay with the Novus Ordo in Latin and as the Church commands, and not risk what we had for the Tridentine Mass. Thus we live in peace for three more years.

But in March 2010 the parish priest changed (Father White left the Archdiocese to the south of Buenos Aires, about 2,000 Km. It is clear that he did not get along well with the Cardinal). The new priest, a man who can be quietly placed within the Third World movement, was not happy with the ways of the chapel and reluctantly tolerated them until, in disagreement with a Corpus Christi procession that had been done for four years and that was not forbidden, interrupted the ceremony and finally closed the chapel, throwing the neighbors and leaving the neighborhood in the hands of the Protestant sects that patrol it.

3 New request for Tridentine Mass in 2010:

As a means of defending our rights, more than 100 faithful who for four years had attended there, integrating a perfectly formed and stable group, we request by letter the application of the Motu Proprio to the parish priest. He replied that it will not be granted because the Cardinal does not allow it (always by word, they do not write when they misbehave). The Zonal Bishop told me exactly the same thing that the cardinal does not allow them. We then turned to the Cardinal who has not answered us for more than a month, despite the repeated calls we made searching for him.

We are about to appeal to Ecclesia Dei these days.

All these events are detailed in our blog (Except the suspension of the Tridentine Mass of 2007 that we will do shortly). We have even published the audio of the interruption of the ceremony that made the parish priest to scold us.

If something of this comes out on your blog, I think it will be a great pressure to try to have Justice restored in our Archdiocese, where progressivism is devastating the Church.

If you have time watch two videos that we publish of a procession of Christ Rey 2009 to give an idea of what happened here. This will no longer be seen on the streets of Buenos Aires.

I have 52 years and 7 children of my only wife with whom I have been married for more than 22 years.

Dear Paco Pepe, I send you a big hug and await your news. Any clarification you need I will do it with pleasure.

Pope Bergoglio's Amoris Laetitia is a discredited plagiarized, non-magisterial bile unworthy of any Pope

Even Crux is waking up! 

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.

Commentary

[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].

Gender "identity" and the diabolical reality behind Pope Bergoglio's Tweets

What you see above, is a picture of the Twitter page of Pope Francis from earlier today. At the time, over 15,000 people "loved" this Tweet and another 6,000 shared it. They were terribly deceived by its content. They were misled of the Truth. 

What is wrong then with this "Tweet" of the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis?

The statement may be someones opinion, it may be his, but it is a lie.

It should have read.

There can never be true peace as long as a single human being is violated by not being preached the Truth of salvation by Our Lord Jesus Christ and baptism by water into the Catholic Church.

Let us put aside then, the truth of my statement, above, and deal with what the Pope has Tweeted, and then, let us discuss his Tweets in general.

This statement, that only there can "never be true peace" if someone has been "violated in his or her personal identity," is so bizarre and so embracing of a radical, secular narrative and mindset as to be diabolical. 

"There can never be true peace as long as a single human being is violated in his or her own personal identity."

In this day and age, "violated in his or her personal identity" can only be interpreted in one way, and that is radical gender theory and ideology. It is not good enough that this Bergoglio in some speech condemns genderism and then Tweets out such misleading and diabolical statements such as this which support genderist ideology. 

Are we to think now that this Pope supports the mental disorder that is personal identification of some kind of gender identity outside of biology? It is a mental disorder, notwithstanding what sociologists and politicians and Marxists demand, it is not, nor can it ever be, based upon science. It is a lie. The question here is, why is the Pope promoting it on Twitter when he has previously condemned gender ideology?

The photo above is from "All Inclusive Ministries" a group of homosexuals and lesbians operating out of Our Lady of Lourdes parish in Toronto, administered of course, by Jesuits. So distorted are they and so mislead, they can actually pen a post called "Lord, I Am Worthy." This is what Bergoglio has done and not only here in Toronto with this group, these types of suffering and misguided souls are everywhere, but this is what he has done. He speaks of "peripheries" of meeting people where they are. Well, it is one thing to meet them in the "dunghill" but at some point, as the Psalmist says, they need to "lifted out of the mire."

How long now until some group uses this evil Tweet for their own purpose, even if it is not what he meant?

Now, is there something which I am missing? If so, then what does the Pope mean, exactly? Frankly, I don't think I am missing anything. I think this is connected deeply to the next Synod and setting the scene for the "youth" who will corrupt the Synod and be corrupted by it. This Tweet was intentional. The Vatican offices, of both clerics and lay, are overrun with people who have no faith, ill-formed faith and are on a diabolical mission to change the faith and therefore, destroy the institutional Church and its unity under Peter. They hate you, they hate me, they hate your children and your grandchildren. They hate the Church and at the very root of all of this is their hatred for Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother. 

Let us look at this more broadly.

First, the Pope has no business on Twitter. Not this one, not Benedict XVI. It is a belittling of the office of the Pope, it causes confusion and reduces the papacy and the teaching authority of the pope to trivial. 

Second, who wrote this? Did Jorge Bergoglio sit down this morning and write this out and the Communication office just translated it and Tweeted it out to the various language accounts under Pontifex? Or rather, did the communication office, as I've been told, put various possibilities together and then present the list to him to approve? Or, is there a possibility that he knows nothing about what these people in communications are doing in his name? If that is the case, then this matter is even more serious than the Tweet itself. 

While this writer is under no illusions that Jorge Bergoglio is unfit for the papacy, that his theological underpinnings are poisoned by modernism, false oecumenism and indifferentism, positivism and Marxism and that he is a danger to the Faith, there can be no doubt, that the people around him are sycophantic, manipulative, opportunists, who will stop at nothing to preserve their positions and their power by manipulating a man who on top of those underpinnings already mentioned, is at best, intellectually a simpleton, and at worst and actual enemy of Christ.

Frankly, every one of them, including the bishop in white, have been engaging in a little too much coprophagia.

Is Bishop Gerald Barbarito of the Diocese of Palm Beach the latest in a long list of pervert protectors?

UPDATE: 17/01/17 06:00 EST

Barona reports that the Chief Deputy Sheriff of West Palm Beach as accused the diocese of "44 years of coverup." 

http://torontocatholicwitness.blogspot.ca/2017/01/the-fr-john-gallagher-case-chief-deputy.html


As with Father Matthew Despard in the Diocese of Motherwell, it seems that a priest, who defends the flock from the infiltration of sodomites into the priesthood, is bound to become targeted by his bishop.

Barona reports:

Fr. John Gallagher is a priest of the Diocese of Palm Beach, Florida.

In January, 2015, Fr. Gallagher caught a visiting priest from India showing homosexual pornography to a 14 year old boy. Fr. Gallagher rightly went straight to the police. 

However, in doing so, this good priest felt the wrath of the local Bishop, Gerald Barbarito. It seems the bishop was not at all happy that Fr. Gallagher had had this vile sodomite arrested. Apparently, the Diocese had preferred to spirit the sodomite out of the country, back to India. Barbarito responded to Fr Gallagher's righteous actions to go straight to the police by releasing his underlings - clerical and lay -in the Diocese to smear the Irish born priest.

UPDATE:

A regular reader has expressed concern in the combox about this story. The diocese apparently rejects the priests contention stating that he did not follow proper protocol and accuses him needing "professional assistance." 

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime--law/diocese-issues-lengthy-defense-whistleblower-claims/w0TkvHBwD9SgLCar74aOPO/

Was the other priest guilty of watching pornography or not?

Did he seduce a young teen to join with him in watching it?

It is not uncommon for the homosexual mafia, rife throughout the dioceses of Florida and its seminary system (remember Favalora?) to target the faithful priest who would dare to out them. 

A Psalm for the Church persecuted by Her enemies within

Psalm 73 Douay-Rheims  

1 Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?

2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.

3 Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

4 And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,

5 And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,

6 They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.

7 They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.

8 They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.

9 Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.

10 How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?

11 Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?

12 But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.

14 Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.

15 Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.

16 Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.

17 Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.

18 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.

19 Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.

20 Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.

21 Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.

22 Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.

23 Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.

Everything is not fine

“Because everywhere I go — and I travel a lot now — everywhere I go people are saying: 'What's wrong with you Cardinals? There are these serious questions, and yet you remain silent. You don't say anything.'"

“And they’re correct,” he continued. “If we were to remain silent, it would most definitely give the idea to the faithful that everything is fine. But everything is not fine.”

http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2017/01/12/cardinal-burke-there-are-other-cardinals-who-fully-endorse-the-dubia/

Cardinal Burke is correct. The faithful are exasperated that the Cardinals "remain silent."

Everything is certainly, not fine.

And the fish rots from the head first!

Pro-Abortion Population Control fraud to speak at Vatican Conference - Pope Bergoglio stands by and permits it!

The Devil is in the Church. Satan has seized control of the Church of Christ. Can there be any doubt? 

If Bergoglio were not under the control of the Evil One, would he allow this evil to take place within the Vatican?

No, he would not. Jorge Bergoglio is the Pope. He has the power to stop this. He will not. Just as he will not stop the Maltese bishops from implementing heresy and sacrilege. 

Things are moving swiftly now. There must be a confrontation with this Bergoglio. These Judases all must be confronted. These Judases have betrayed Christ. 

Mock them. 
'
Defy them. 

Call them out as the malefactors they are. 

Do not follow them into perdition.

Stay with Our Lord and His Church in Her suffering. Abandon not Our Mother.  

Call upon the LORD to smite them. To confound them. To convert them or take their last breath away. 

May St. Joseph open their eyes, or close them forever.

Psalm 82 Douay-Rheims  

A canticle of a psalm for Asaph.

2 O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.

3 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

4 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.

5 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.

6 For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,

7 The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,

8 Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

9 Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.

10 Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.

11 Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.

12 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,

13 Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.

14 O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.

15 As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:

16 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.

17 Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.

18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.

19 And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.

From LifeSiteNews:

VATICAN CITY, January 12, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — The Vatican has invited the undisputed father of the modern, pro-abortion population control movement to present a paper at an upcoming Vatican-run conference.

Dr. Paul Ehrlich, author of the 1968 bestseller The Population Bomb is scheduled to speak in Vatican City during the February 27-March 1 conference that will discuss “how to save the natural world.” The Stanford biologist champions sex-selective abortion as well as mass forced sterilization as legitimate methods to curb population growth.

In his 1968 book, Ehrlich went so far as to defend forced abortion, writing: “Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-invites-pro-abortion-population-bomb-author-to-speak-at-biological

Bergoglio's Maltese Bishops, follow his lead and openly dissent from the Catholic Faith. The proof is here for all to see.

In a stunning report in Osservatore Romano, the Vatican City State's own newspaper, the Bishops of Malta have declared themselves heretics and have placed themselves outside the Holy Catholic Church. There is simply no other way to look at the situation given what they have said.

Below is the head of the Maltese Bishop's Conference, Charles Scicluna. As the video reveals, he sure likes the limelight. A real rock star is the pathetic curse upon the Church, that is this man.

In a statement that will now sanction not only adultery but the open and ongoing sin of sacrilege, the bishops have said that:

“If a separated or divorced person who is living in a new relationship manages, with an informed and enlightened conscience, to acknowledge and believe that he or she are at peace with God, he or she cannot be precluded from participating in the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist”.

They also state that avoiding sex may be "humanly impossible."

A most interesting statement, no doubt, particularly coming from men who are to be not only celibate, but chaste.

Perhaps some of these Maltese bishops speak from experience, eh?

How about some sodomy and play with the girlie-boy down the lane?  Perhaps some Saturday night pornography followed by a flurry of self-abuse?  Maybe the immoral, but natural thing of bedding down for a night with an actual woman! Pfft, a woman - what would these effeminates know about a woman!

After all, if the Bishops of Malta think that it is "humanly impossible" to avoid sexual sin, then they must be speaking from experience and that includes this pathetic Judas, Scicluna!

Here's the whole lot of them, the whole disgraceful mess of apostates!

UPDATE: In spite of complaints from a few, I insist on listing all Maltese bishops here, even those who are Nuncios and who have nothing directly to do with the two bishops from Malta, who have undertaken this. The reason is clear, they must rebuke their brothers!

John Paul II and Benedict XVI reaffirmed the Church’s perennial teaching that divorced and remarried Catholics cannot receive Communion, except possibly when they endeavour to live “as brother and sister."

The fact that this is happening can be lead straight to the feet of Jorge Bergoglio. There can be no holding back now of the four Cardinals, and more still, who are prepared to challenge this wrong-headed, and faithless, scandalous, malefactor on the Seat of Peter. This is his fault. This is Bergoglio's doing. 

Perhaps, just perhaps, the Maltese bishops have done us a big favour. This is going to blow up and put Bergoglio in the corner where he belongs.  Jorge Bergoglio must be held to account for his error and the heretical and sacrilegious  permission in Amoris Laetitia. He did it. This is his work and it must be denounced.

The Pope must recant and repent. If he dies before doing this, his judgement with Our Lord Jesus Christ will be severe.

The Maltese bishops have fallen completely for the canonically and ecclesiologically false view that an individual’s assessment of his or her own readiness to receive holy Communion (see c. 916) controls a minister’s decision to administer the sacrament (see c. 915). In Malta now, anyone who approaches for the sacraments should be recognized as being “at peace with God”. Objective evidence to the contrary is simply no longer relevant. Canon 916 is thus eviscerated, Canon 915 is effectively repudiated.

2. The Maltese bishops do not seem to know what the word “conjugal” means. They think that non-married people can practice “conjugal” virtues and that they can decide about whether to engage in “conjugal” acts. Nonsense and, coming from bishops, inexcusable nonsense at that. Non-married people can have sex, of course, but Catholic pastoral integrity does not hold such sexual acts on par with the physically identical, but truly conjugal, acts as performed by married persons.

3. The Maltese bishops, by extending their document to the sacrament of Reconciliation, have basically instructed their priests not to withhold absolution from divorced-and-remarried Catholics who refuse to repent of their “public and permanent adultery” (CCC 2384) even to the point of abstaining from sexual (nb: sexual not “conjugal”) relations. Incredibly, such a directive raises the specter of green-lighting sacrilegious confessions and the commission of solicitation in confession. No priest should want either on his conscience, let alone both.

4. The Maltese bishops even managed to take swipes at Baptism and Confirmation by opening the door to divorced-and-remarried Catholics serving as godparents contrary to the expectations of Canon 874 § 1, 3º. See CLSA New Comm (2001) 1062-1063.

Today, the Baptism of the Lord

Today, the Octave Day of Epiphany, January 13, it is the Commemoration of the Baptism of the Lord. In the modernist calendar and the nervously disordered liturgy it falls, as you know, on the Sunday after Epiphany or Monday, should Epiphany fall on Sunday or is transferred to It, as it was this past week. The oddity is that in Rome, Epiphany is on January 6 and while much of the rest of the world was on Epiphany "Sunday," Rome was celebrating the Baptism of the Lord. As I wrote, the nervous disordered liturgy.

The Second Sunday after Pentecost, upcoming in the proper calendar and rite, or the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time in Year C of that same disordered liturgy, (I cannot recall the current Year as I've not been to a nervous disordered rite in many months) it is Cana Sunday, when the Gospel read is that of the Wedding Feast of Cana and the changing by our Lord of the water into wine. It is casually plugged in to Year C, whist A and B are different, thus changing the whole liturgical understanding of these days and depriving the faithful and clergy of the deep spiritual richness of the liturgical season.

What do these all have to do with each other?

Up until the sinister Annibale Bugnini had his way with Pius XII, Epiphany had its own Octave. While it was killed off in 1955, remnants of it survived in the 1962 Roman Missal and actually survive in the Lectionary and Responsorial Psalm of the 1970 Missal. It was a grievous error to do away with it over 60 years ago. It should be brought back for both Missals, or at least until the nervous disorder is abrogated, and anathematised, as it will be. In our home, however, we have been celebrating the Octave, as we have been reading the Divine Office of Matins, Lauds and Vespers according to the Divino Afflatu, the pre-Bugnini and uncontaminated Office as reformed by Pope St. Pius X. It is available at the tab above "Divine Office 1962."

Further, the early Fathers of the Church believed that the Epiphany, -- the singular visit of the Wise Men, and, the Baptism of the Lord and the Wedding Feast at Cana occurred on the same date in the respective years of Our Lord's life. The antiphons throughout the week recall this daily.

I wish to point you now from here to a fine blog called The New Theological Movement. 

It will explain it all and hopefully, bring you to a greater understanding on what was lost in our faith and culture and what we must struggle to restore, in spite of the Vatican and the malefactors who undermined our Faith, the Liturgy and the Culture. This post, at A Catholic Life, looks at some others aspects of the Octaves. 

When I was a child, my mother always referred to the Epiphany as "Little Christmas." It has always been considered a continuation of Christmas.

Just one more reason to abandon the Novus Ordo and its corrupted calendar and return to the tradition and faith of our fathers. 

Pope Bergoglio exercises "immediate control" over all Catholics?

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The leadership of the Order of Malta denied the legality of a Vatican investigation into the forced resignation of the group's former grand chancellor, but the commission established by Pope Francis said it "is completely legitimate and authorized" to investigate the matter and inform the pope.

According to one of the legal notes prepared for the commission, the pope's right to be informed of the circumstances surrounding the removal of Albrecht Freiherr von Boeselager relates "to the authority he exercises directly and immediately over all baptized faithful, whether lay or clerical."

http://www.catholicnews.com/services/englishnews/2017/order-of-malta-questions-legitimacy-of-commission-established-by-pope.cfm

"Direct and immediate authority?" which Bergoglio possesses "over all baptised faithful?

What kind of clericalist, fascist idiot would actually write such preposterous thing to the any Catholic, group or individual without clarifying that it begins and ends with doctrine and discipline?

The matter with the Knights of Malta is administrative, not doctrinal. The Pope has no business interfering. Let Rome dare say that "we established" and approved Knight of Malta charter. Well, the Italian Republic approved the treaty creating the Vatican City State too. 

Shall Italy revoke it? 

For more on the Knights of Malta, I direct you to this essay by Dr. Roberto de Mattei, translated at The Eponymous Flower.

A reader has brought to my attention, this, from Denzinger:

If anyone thus speaks, that the Roman Pontiff has only the office of inspection or direction, but not the full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the universal Church, not only in things which pertain to faith and morals, but also in those which pertain to the discipline and government of the Church spread over the whole world; or, that he possesses only the more important parts, but not the whole plenitude of this supreme power; or that this power of his is not ordinary and immediate, or over the churches altogether and individually, and over the pastors and the faithful altogether and individually: let him be anathema.” (Denzinger 1831)

Well then, careful my fellow Catholics, this Peronist Fascist will soon be declaring his authority over your property and your pension or he will excommunicate you.

These malefactors are nothing more than a bunch of coprophiliacs in clerical dress, if you ask me. 

"Anathema?" Yeah, right. They love the law, these Roman hypocrites - they interpret it for their friends and they apply it to their enemies when it suits them.

Gosh, and he was such a cute kid, too.

The Peronist Pope - Bergoglio ignores his curial experts and his collegial bishops

All the talk about "collegiality" has gone out the window with Jorge Bergoglio. Never would Pope John Paul II or Benedict XVI have ever acted with the near maniacal manner in which this occupant of the Seat of Peter presides over the Holy Catholic Church.

Edward Pentin, truly the most well-informed and respected Vatican journalist today, has reported on Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s recent interview on German television. The Cardinal seems shows his own weakness in being prepared to confront the errors of Bergoglio as is revealed by some of his statements:

His remarks also come after it has emerged the CDF had clear misgivings about the document before it was published — concerns which were never heeded. One informed official recently told the Register that a CDF committee that reviewed a draft of Amoris Laetitia raised “similar” dubia to those of the four cardinals. Those dubia formed part of the CDF’s 20 pages of corrections, first reported by Jean-Marie Genois in Le Figaro on April 7, the eve of the publication of the document.

Another senior official went further, revealing to the Register last week that Cardinal Müller had told him personally that the CDF “had submitted many, many corrections, and not one of the corrections was accepted”. He added that what the cardinal states in the interview “is exactly the contradictory of everything which he has said to me on the matter until now” and he had the “impression of someone who was not speaking for himself but repeating what someone else had told him to say.”

Not only has Bergoglio and the minions surrounding him ignored the Curial department charged with ensuring doctrinal orthodoxy but they he has ignored up to thirty Cardinals and numerous National Conferences of Bishops who have raised legitimate concerns about the matters contained in Amoris Laetitia.

A significant number of episcopal conferences around the world have expressed their concerns to the Pope, the Register has learned, and like the four cardinals, have received no response. Also before the document was published, 30 cardinals, having seen an advance draft of the apostolic exhortation, wrote to the Pope expressing their reservations, especially on the issue of communion for remarried divorcees, warning that the document would weaken the three essential sacraments of the Church: the Eucharist, marriage, and confession. The Pope never responded to that letter either, a Vatican source told the Register.

Bergoglio's ignoring of both will allow history to declare him "illegitimate."

May that history be written soon.
