A blessed Punch-a-Heretic Day!

http://jonasthedunce.blogspot.ca/2014/12/i-saw-santa-punching-arius.html

I saw Santa punching Arius

I saw Santa punching Arius

in the council chambers at Nicaea.

He just couldn’t stand

to hear the heretic expand

his theory how Our Blessed Lord

was not much more than just a man.

Then I saw Santa grabbing Arius

by the beard to pull him off his chair.

The other bishops were justified,

in assuming this was undignified

throwing Santa in a cell for the night.

I saw Jesus and His Mother

come to Santa praying in his chains.

Christ asked, “Why are you here?”

“All for my love of You.”

Off fell the chains and to him was given

the pallium and the Gospels.

St. Nick went back up to the chamber

amazing everyone at the sight.

They said, “It must have been righteous anger!”

“It is Arius we must excommunicate.”

“The Son is consubstantial with the Father.”

On a more serious note:

 

This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph

Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness

Erst on this feast-day merited to enter

Into his glory. 

Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,

Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.

While that life's vigour, coursing through his members,

Quickened his being. 

Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,

Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,

Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,

At his petition. 

Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,

Chanting his praises with devout affection,

That in his merits we may have a portion,

Now and forever. 

His be the glory, power and salvation,

Who over all things reigneth in the highest,

Earth's mighty fabric ruling and directing,

Onely and Trinal. Amen.

See how mad they be?

See how mad they be? And I mean mad in both the meanings of angry and deranged.  

Go back to Hell, Satan!

You probably won't post this but you will read it. Actually, it's you and your ilk that are done. When the Holy Father finally ex-communicates the right wing dissenters you will be no more influential than the literally dozens of sedevacantist and independent "Catholics". Yes, you'll have your little chapels with maybe 50 or so adherents. You'll have schism after schism as you decide issues like whether or not to allow the Novus Ordo in your chapels. In the end, you'll be as relevant as the CMRI of SSPV or Pope Michael is today.

Not only friend, have I published your cowardly little rant, I've given you your own post of it.

I'll leave it to my readers to respond to your bile.

Bergoglio, Spadaro, Martin, Rosica know it, and they're running scared

Anthony Spadaro, S.J., is interviewed on Crux. Steve Skojec at OnePeterFive, parses the interview and provides erudite commentary. I wont' repeat it here, only suggest that you go there to read it:

http://www.onepeterfive.com/father-spadaro-dubia-pope-doesnt-give-binary-answers-abstract-questions/

What is clear is that "we" are indeed getting to them. It's been a number of years since Thomas J. Rosica, CSB, standing outside of St. Peter's Basilica gave an interview launching his attack on Catholics who blog. It was a puerile screed but it was at the same time, very revealing.

It was the same reason why Thomas J. Rosica attempted to sue this blogger into homelessness and silence. He is smart enough to know the power that is at our fingertips to stop this agenda. Look at the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States and even to his Tweets this past few days about China and American industry. Trump understands what the minions in the Church and Bergoglio do not - we do not need them to any more than Trump needs CNN, ABC or the New York Times to get his message out. 

Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, this is the tool we finally have to fight back against those who would undermine the faith and bring a "new church into being." A false church, a church without truth, a church without the supernatural, a church of man, a church of the world, a church without Christ.


Rosica understood then that they could not control this blog or the hundreds of others around the world. They cannot control the sharing of information from these blogs on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Our work has caused Catholics to awake to the horror being spewed from the mouth of Bergoglio under the guidance and promotion of his minions, such as Spadaro. and those priests in the media who regurgitate the bile such as Rosica, James Martin, S.J. the rest at America Magazine, NCReporter and numerous bishops, particularly the new Bergoglian crew in the United States.

In this interview, similar to the recent statements by the thug Pio Pinto, Spadaro questions those opposed to Begoglio's plans as attempting to thwart the "spirit.".

These men are as pathetic as they are corrupt. They are blasphemous. The Holy Spirit did not suddenly play a trick on humanity and grant some kind of revelation to Bergoglio that it is suddenly okay for those in adulterous relationships to receive Holy Communion.

Spadaro is a liar, just like his "father." just like his boss. Yes, just like his boss.

The game is up boys and you know that we know that you're running scared.

How to celebrate Advent in Toronto - Get thee to a Traditional Latin Mass!

The Toronto Traditional Mass Society - UNA VOCE TORONTO, is announcing a number of Masses for the Advent season some of which are regularly scheduled, and some which are specifically organised by the Society.

On every Sunday in the Archdiocese of Toronto, there are four Masses offered in the Traditional Rite at diocesan parishes. In addition, the Society of St. Pius X offers three Masses at its Toronto Chapel and one in Orillia.

St. Patrick's Schomberg
9:00 A.M. Sung Mass

Oratory Church of St.Vincent de Paul
9:30 A.M. Read (Low) Mass

Oratory Church of the Holy Family
11:00 A.M. Solemn Mass

St. Lawrence the Martyr, Scarbrough
1:00 P.M. Read Mass with music

Society of St. Pius X
Church of the Transfiguration Toronto
8:00 A.M. Read Mass
10:30 A.M. Sung Mass
5:00 P.M. Read Mass
Church of the Canadian Martyrs Orillia
10:00 A.M.

There are three particular outside of Sunday to which I wish to draw your attention.

This coming Thursday, December 8, is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There will be varied traditional Mass locations in diocesan churches in Toronto plus the SSPX. 

Two more that you should note and attend.

Saturday, December 10 at 9:00 A.M. at St. Mary's Polish Roman Catholic Church on Davenport Road in Toronto; a Read Rorate Mass with Music. While the old "custom" was to start before daybreak, that is not a liturgical rubric. The pastor at the parish offers the traditional Mass every Saturday at 9:00 A.M. and will offer here, the Votive Mass for Our Lady in Advent.

The next Saturday, December 17, is the Ember. There will be a Sung Mass (with Vox chanting) at the Carmel in Mississauga. An incredible liturgy that is rarely, if every sung with its multiple Lessons and Graduals culminating in the sung Canticle of the Three Children from the fiery furnace in Babylon.

Leave the shopping. Leave the insanity of our secular and grotesque and hostile Toronto. Get thee to a Latin Mass and get back to God this Advent!

Schismatic Patriarch applauds heretical statements of Pope

http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2016/12/bizarre-move-patriarch-bartholomew-of.html

VATICAN CITY – Knowing the debate surrounding Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation on the family, Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople said the document "first and foremost recalls the mercy and compassion of God and not just moral norms and canonical rules."

"In the past few months, numerous comments and evaluations of this important document have been made," the patriarch wrote Dec. 2 in L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper.

"People have asked how specific doctrine has been developed or defended or if pastoral questions have been modified or resolved and if particular norms have been strengthened or mitigated," he said.

"Whether it regards the challenges of marriage and divorce or sexuality or raising children," he said, the matters treated in the document "are all delicate and precious fragments of that sacred mystery we call life."

For too long, he said, people were "suffocated and blocked" from reaching out to God for forgiveness and strength by the notion of a "heavenly Father who in some way dictated human conduct."

"Religious leaders are called to remind themselves and then others that God is life and love and light," he wrote. "In fact, these are the words repeatedly underlined by Pope Francis in his document, which discerns the experience and challenges of contemporary society with a view toward describing a spirituality of marriage and the family for today's world."

The patriarch said it was no accident that the pope's letter, Amoris Laetitia ("The Joy of Love"), was released in April, about the time he and the pope went to the Greek island of Lesbos to meet with refugees.

"In fact, what was immediately clear to both of us while we looked at the sad faces of the victims wounded by war was that all of these people were members of families, families split and torn apart by the hostilities and violence," the patriarch wrote.

The pope's document, he said, touches the experience of those families and of all families because it speaks of God and "when we speak of God, the descriptive language we use is that of love."

Patriarch Bartholomew said Pope Francis, like the early fathers of the church, did not shy away from sensitive questions, but "their point of departure always is the loving and saving grace of God, which shines on every person without discrimination or disgust."

What did Bergoglio and the Argentine episcopacy do to cover up a child abusing sodomite priest?

How many more reasons are there for sodomites never, ever to be admitted to the priesthood?

Pope was told of priest arrested in Argentina, victim advocates say

Associated Press

December 2, 2016

Pope Francis and Church authorities did not intervene to sanction Nicola Corradi, a priest accused of sexually abusing deaf children in Italy and then in Argentina, according to advocates for clerical sex abuse victims. The 82-year old priest and four others were arrested this week by Argentine police.

 BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Advocates for clerical sex abuse victims expressed outrage Thursday that a priest accused of sexually abusing deaf children in Italy wasn’t sanctioned by the Vatican and allegedly went on to abuse children in Pope Francis’s native Argentina.

Argentine police arrested the priest, 82-year old Nicola Corradi, this week. Corradi, priest Horacio Corbacho, 55, and three other men are accused of abusing at least eight children at a school for youths with hearing disabilities in northwestern Mendoza province.

BishopAccountability.org, an online resource about clerical abuse, reported that Italian survivor groups told the Vatican in 2008 and 2014 about Corradi and others accused of molesting children at a school for the deaf in Verona.

“Words fail. It is appalling and heartbreaking that Corradi was not stopped by Pope Francis or by other Church authorities. Corradi’s presence at the school in Mendoza was no secret,” said Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of BishopAccountability.

“Thanks to the Church’s inaction, Corradi appears to have been able to replicate exactly the grotesque situation he enjoyed in Verona - a ring of child molesters in charge of utterly defenseless children who could neither hear nor speak. If the allegations are true, the Pope must accept responsibility for the unimaginable suffering of these new victims.”

The government of Mendoza province temporarily suspended classes at Antonio Provolo Institute, the school for children with hearing impairment. It also banned faculty and staff from having any contact with students.

The abuse allegations surfaced after a complaint by provincial lawmaker Daniela Garcia, who spoke to a witness through an interpreter.

“It was the first way so that other witnesses and victims could then come forward and denounce what was happening,” Garcia said Wednesday.

Authorities are taking testimony from students as well as parents who suspect their children were subjected by the accused to oral sex, fondling and sexual intercourse over the past decade, said Fabricio Sidoti, the investigating prosecutor.

The Mendoza archbishop’s office has expressed solidarity with the victims and said it is cooperating with authorities.

Carlos Lombardi, an attorney who specializes in canon law, has blamed church officials in Mendoza province.

Lombardi, who also advises a group of survivors of clerical sex abuse, told local TV this week that he suspects Mendoza Archbishop, Carlos Maria Franzini, and his predecessor, Jose Maria Arancibia, knew that Corradi had been accused of sexually abusing children in Italy. He also argued they must have been aware of the abuse that Corradi is accused of committing in Argentina.

Grand Orient Masonic Lodge of Italy - Martini, McCarrick and how nothing would be the same again

Oh we have so much we could write but instead, I'll just give you these pictures and linksto a couple of other sites and a search for you to find it all. I have written previously of the comment, "nothing will be the same again" as stated by the Grande Oriente d'Italia upon the election of Pope Francis. The Masonic Press Agency was publicising it as well and leave most of it for you to find and spread to all the Catholic world.

Here again is the video of that former Archbishop of Washington Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, indicating that he was lobbied to vote for Jorge Bergoglio.

So let us see, we have a powerful man telling this Cardinal that said that Jorge Bergoglio can change it in five years and one that could potentially be blackmailed to make it so and talk him up and then when it all happens the Lodge issues a statement that "nothing will be the same."

Oh, one more thing; they failed in 2005 when Joseph Ratzinger was elected as Pope. Martini was their man and when they couldn't get him elected they drove the gentle Pope from his office.

You can figure the rest out.

So be it.

Bergoglian thug, Don Pinto, leads once again with his chin

What rock did this pathetic cretin crawl out from under?



Who thought this modernist thug was ever fit for ordination?

Clearly trying to distance himself from the blowback that his boss might remove the red hats from the Four Cardinals, this intellectually challenged clericalist and papal hitman has, by his seemingly backing off, doubles down.

Maike Hickson has the story at OnePeterFive.

Let's take a look at hit-man Pinto's statement, shall we?

They have written to the pope and that is correct and legitimate. But, after there did not come [from the pope] an answer after a few weeks, they published the case. That is a slap in the face. The pope can choose to take counsel with his cardinals; but that is something different from imposing upon him a counsel.

The Cardinals followed Scripture. They addressed the matter privately. When that did not elicit a response, they took it "to the Church." They had every right and duty to ask the questions and every right to expect an answer.  

They are not a council with any kind of competences. On the contrary, they as cardinals are bound in a higher degree to be loyal to the pope. He stands for the gift of unity, the charisma of Peter. That is where the cardinals have to support him, and not hinder him. By what authority do the authors of the letter act? On the fact that they are cardinals? That is not sufficient. Please. Of course they can write to the pope and send him their questions, but to oblige him to answer and to publish the case is another matter.

The first loyalty of the Cardinals and any Catholic is loyalty to Christ. We don't worship the Pope. What Pinto is suggesting is papolatry and a sin. 

The absolute majority of the first synod and a two-thirds majority in the second, in which the members of the bishops’ conferences were present, have exactly approved these theses that now the four cardinals contest.

The man is deluded or he is a liar. I suggest he is a liar and he needs to be called out for it. Synod votes must be two-thirds. Neither Synod voted to allow Holy Communion for those living in adultery. That is what Francis Bergoglio did, notwithstanding. The majority did not vote for this.

I am not the type who can threaten [people]. To write something like this is quite a journalistic license and is not serious. What I have said is, rather: Francis is a lighthouse of mercy and has infinite patience. For him, it is about agreeing, not about forcing. It was a serious act that these four have published their letter. But to think that he would remove their cardinalate – no. I do not believe that he will do that. […] In itself, as pope, he could do such a thing. The way I know Francis, he will not do it.

Well, the light's gone out in that "lighthouse of mercy." I don't believe Pinto. I have every belief that this was and continues to be discussed and as I opined earlier, this was a trial balloon. 

This is crazy. Such a council of cardinals does not exist that could hold the pope accountable. The task of the cardinals is to help the pope in the exercise of his office – and not to obstruct him or to give him precepts. And this is a fact: Francis is not only in full accordance with the teaching, but also with all of his predecessors in the 20th century, and that was a Golden Age with excellent popes – starting with Pius X.

Again, the man is in to deception. Francis has made an abrupt rupture with his predecessors. Not one of them would have promulgated Amoris Laetitia. The man is deluded and frankly, promoting evil. The first duty of the Cardinals is to Christ. If the Pope is acting contrary, then there are examples in history and in the writings of Saints and Doctors on what must be done. That process has begun. These men are monsters and now that they know that they have been found out, expect their anger to increase along with their evil.

I am shocked, especially about the gesture of Meisner. Meisner was a great bishop of an important diocese [Cologne] – how sad that he now with this action puts a shadow upon his history. Meisner, a great spiritual leader! That he would arrive at that, I did not expect. He was very close to John Paul II and Benedict, and he knows that Benedict XVI and Francis are in full agreement about the analysis and the conclusions when it comes to the question of marriage. And Burke – we have worked together. He seemed to me to be an amiable person. Now I would ask him: Your Eminence, why did you do that?

The man is a heresiarch, a common thug, a pathetic excuse for a priest. 

But we must thank him, he has exposed himself and those around Bergoglio for what they are. 

Antonio Spadaro, S.J. and his Sock Puppet

Oh, how delightful that the chickens come home to roost with these pathetic modernists. 

http://mahoundsparadise.blogspot.ca/2016/11/popes-mouthpiece-spadaro-used-fake-sock.html?spref=tw

And now, it's all over Rome, too!

http://www.marcotosatti.com/2016/12/01/padre-spadaro-e-twitter-il-sospetto-e-forse-piu-di-un-puppet-account-per-criticare-i-4-cardinali/

They all now, if they did not already, that Spadaro is a manipulative deceitful liar, who of course, is one of Francis Bergoglio's closest advisors.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell - Do you really believe the bile emanating from your mouth?

When Kenny Farrell, a newly minted Prince of FrancisChurch receives a critical Tweet, he responds as any teenage girl would, he blocks. Feel free to Tweet this to him. Feel free to tweet this to @Bishop_Farrell, or maybe I'll do it from my "sock puppet" account. after all, if an alleged priest by the name of Spadaro, who also blocks, can do it, why can't the rest of it. 

Cardinal Farrell is engaging in deception. He is quite frankly either a liar or just plain stupid.

He perpetuates the lie that before Francis Bergoglio all was bad, No Pope was ever humble. No Pope was every loved by the people. 

They keep spinning and spinning that myth and now they have been found out by more than just us nutty bloggers and Trads.

When George Weigel publicly calls out these "witless worms," then you know it's getting bad.

Farrell is as unqualified to be a Cardinal as he was to be a bishop. Can there be any doubt that these poseurs and frauds have lost the faith, if they ever had it? They have no supernatural faith, they are modernists and haters of Christ.

Hey Kenny.

Remember this?

How about this?

http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Blog/5241/a_liturgical_new_years_resolution.aspx

There was an awful lot of this airbrushing before and during the recent consistory for the creation of new cardinals. And I regret to note that one striking example of it came in a Catholic News Service video-interview with Cardinal Kevin Farrell, recently transferred from Dallas to Rome to lead the new Vatican dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life. In that interview, the cardinal, who in 2014 was eager for me to give the University of Dallas commencement address in order commemorate the recently-canonized St. John Paul II, seemed to have forgotten that John Paul ever existed.

Thus Farrell, praising “Pope Francis’s great charisma” and “how the people flock to him” and the “amazing” way “he comes down to the people,” finished his tribute to the man who had named him cardinal by saying that all of this was “unthought-of and unheard of twenty years ago.”

Really?

Was John Paul II shot in his apartment by an interloper who had snuck past the Swiss Guard? Or was he shot by a would-be assassin standing in the midst of one of the vast throngs the Polish pope drew to St. Peter’s Square for over twenty-five years? Has Cardinal Farrell forgotten that, just before Mehmet Ali Agca’s shots rang out, John Paul had handed a small child he had embraced and blessed back to its mother? That was thirty-five years ago this past May 13. Which means that it’s preposterous to say that it was “unthought-of and unheard of twenty years ago” that a pope should mingle with crowds and embrace the people who were flocking to him. It was happening fifteen years and more before that.

Will Bergoglio betray Christ to appease the Dragon of Red China?

The issue of Far "Ostpolitik" too China has been covered by this writer previously. I have written no less than five times on this matter since the first post in March 2015. At that time, I was given information from a Vatican contact that indeed, Francis was opening the door to China and the result would be detrimental to the true Catholic Church in China, that which is underground, and to Catholics in Taiwan.

http://voxcantor.blogspot.ca/2015/03/is-sell-out-of-mindzenty-and-slipyj-for.html

The Red China government has become an absurd mix of communism and corporate fascism. It is not pure communism as thousands have become obscenely wealthy whilst others are still as poor as they have ever been. It is not pure communism but more a mix with some odd kind of Fascism where the State partners with corportions, there is no free market, there is no true religous freedom. The underground, persecuted Church in China, is the Catholic Church. The "legal" Church is schismatic as its bishops are appointed by the communist government. 

Remember, this is a government that for three decades has forced abortion on its people to ensure its one child policy, now "mercifully" upgraded to two, after which, the others will be deprived of life.

And the Vicar of Christ wants these communist devils do choose the Church's Shepherds?
Bergoglio has lost his mind. He clearly does not like Catholics. Who is it that this man serves?

The authority on China is the great Cardinal Zen, Emeritus Bishop of Hong Kong.

Once again, he lays out the facts.

Will Bergoglio take away Cardinal Zen's red hat too?

Cardinal Zen: Pope Francis would ‘betray Christ’ by allowing Communist China to select bishops

HONG KONG, November 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — The highest ranking Chinese Catholic has stated that if Pope Francis allows Communist China to have a hand in the selection of the nation's Catholic bishops it would be “betraying Jesus Christ.”

“You cannot go into negotiations with the mentality ‘we want to sign an agreement at any cost,’ then you are surrendering yourself, you are betraying yourself, you are betraying Jesus Christ,” Cardinal Joseph Zen told The Guardian this week.

The 84-year-old former bishop of Hong Kong has firmly opposed a potential deal between the Vatican and the Chinese government that would add legitimacy to the state-run Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. He says the move would alienate authentic Catholics who worship in the ‘underground Church’ from the one true Church headed by Christ and his representative, the Pope.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that in such a deal, "Rome would commit to recognize as bishops only those clerics who first win nomination from the Patriotic Association’s bishops conference,” thus allowing the government, not the Church, to decide who is bishop.

Bergoglian Pinto: "The four cardinals who have written to Pope could lose their cardinalate"

In the world of politics, this is not an uncommon thing, -- make a statement about something that is being considered in order to test the waters. Consider for example the kerfuffle over the potential of Donald J. Trump's appointment of Mitt Romney as American Secretary of State. I don't believe for one moment that he will do it, but he is sending out a message to test the reaction. Aside from what I really think is Trump's public eviscerating of Romney, as a vanquishment of the man who so attacked him without justification. The people have spoken and won't tolerate it.

Sadly the Vatican practices the same politics. The centre of the Church of Christ on Earth engages  such sleazy and vulgar practices. Nobody should be surprised that this "trial balloon" is being floated. I've expected it, in fact, I expect it to happen.

If Bergoglio dares to strip the four Cardinals of their red hats, then he will prove himself to be a vindictive and corrupt man, a narcissist and Peronist. A man who is driven by his own ambition and ego, thinking that every action taken by him and every thought that enters into his mind is divine inspiration. He will, if he does this, enshrine heresy. He will have proclaimed heresy because he will have silenced, or at least removed, all authorised opposition.

And a heretic cannot be Pope!

Vito Pinto Mons. "The four cardinals who have written to Pope could lose their cardinalate"

Mons. Pío Vito Pinto, Dean of the highest authority of the Catholic Church in the process of nullity, delivered a lecture at the University Ecclesiastical San Damaso de Madrid. Vigorously, he has said that the four cardinals who have asked the Pope Francisco to clarify some doubts about his apostolic exhortation Laetitia Amoris have committed a grave scandal by publishing this letter in the media.

The Cardinals have created a scandal? Not the Pope himself who has affirmed that those living in adultery can be openly admitted to Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin? Not the Bishops of Buenos Aires, or the Vicar of Rome? 

The Cardinals have every moral and legal right to ask the question and expect an answer. in fact, they have a duty before Christ. Their loyalty, your loyalty and mine is with Christ, not the Pope insofar as he separates himself from Christ's truth. The Pope is not a god. Papolatry is a sin and a scandal and Dean Pinto has committed it. He has committed a scandal by being the mouthpiece of Bergoglio and issuing threats to these four Cardinals, and any others who stand up for the truth of Catholic doctrine and faith.

In statements to Religion Confidential, Pio Vito has shown that these four cardinals, like some others in the Church who doubt the reform of Pope Francis and his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, are questioning " two synods of bishops on marriage and family do not a synod but two! An ordinary and another extraordinary. You cannot doubt the action of the Holy Spirit."

This man is deluded. The Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity cannot lie, he cannot change. To suggest that God the Holy Spirit is directing Bergoglio and his minions to destroy Catholic doctrine, sanction mortal sin and permit sacrilege is blasphemy.

The two Synods did not vote to allow Holy Communion for those in adultery. This is a lie. To do that, a Synod would require a two-thirds vote, this did not happen. Nor could it happen. A Synod cannot overturn doctrine. The Pope can ignore a Synod's advice. In this case, he did. He acted in spite of it. The Synod was manipulated, the evidence was there, out in the open attested to be no less than Cardinal Pell. The Pope has no authority to change doctrine, he has no authority to authorise that two-thousand years of Catholic practice can be overturned by one man.

Cardinals Walter Brandmüller, Raymond Burke, Carlo Caffarra and Joachim Meisner asked the Holy Father some doubts about the Amoris Laetitia.  Pope  Francis did not answer and prelates made the letter public through the media. "What Church defends these cardinals? The Pope is faithful to the doctrine of Christ. What they have done is a very serious scandal that could even lead to the Holy Father to withdraw the cardinal's hat as has happened at some other time of the Church," said Pio Vito to this Confidential. The dean of the Roman Rota clarifies: "Which is not to say that the Pope withdraw their status as cardinals, but could do."

Roberto de Mattei on Rorate Caeli blog wrote on the matter of the removal of Cardinals back in 2014, it was after Cardinal Burke was removed from the Apostolic Signatura.

The Pope inasmuch as he is supreme pastor of the universal Church, has full right to remove a bishop or cardinal from his office, even a distinguished one. A well-known case was the one of Cardinal Louis Billot (1846-1931). He was one of the greatest theologians of the 20th Century, who replaced his cardinal’s hat into the hands of Pius XI, with whom he had had differences regarding Action Francaise, and ended his days, as a simple Jesuit, at the house of his order in Galloro. Another striking case is Cardinal Josef Mindszenty, who was removed by Paul VI from his office as Archbishop of Esztergom and Primate of Hungary, as a result of his opposition to the Vatican ostpolitik.

The case of Cardinal Mindszenty was particularly egregious and a disgrace of Paul VI's papacy. Mindszenty was persecuted by the communists. The Vatican's policy of ostpolitik

was a scandal and a betrayal of Catholics now being waged again in China against the underground, faithful Church.   

This is also a warning to any other Cardinals and Bishops, particularly those in dioceses, to stand down and keep their mouths shut. As we look around we will see silence from them, until such time perhaps as enough of a force mounts against this error. The reality is in many dioceses, the Ordinary is well aware that this Pope is a vindictive man and will remove them leaving their flock to be devoured by someone of Bergoglio's own choosing. Think Chicago here. I fully expect that the next Cardinal on his way out is Marc Ouellet.

During the conference, Pius Vito made it clear to the audience that the Pope has not responded directly to them four cardinals, 'but has indirectly told that they see only white or black , when in the Church there are shades of colors." Few Catholics calling for the annulment Confidential religion also asked Mons. Pius Vito if not better open hand to divorced and remarried and grant marriage annulment, before a civil marriage so they can marry in the Church and receive the Eucharist. "The reform of the marriage process of Pope Francis wants to reach more people. The percentage of people seeking marriage annulment is very small. The Pope said that communion is not only good Catholics. Francisco says: how to reach the most excluded people? Many people, with the reform of Pope may request the annulment, but not others, "said the Dean of the Roman Rota.

The Cardinal is correct, the actual number of Catholics seeking a Decree of Nullity is very small relative to the number who simply divorce and remarry, civilly. Pope Bergoglio has made the outrageous statement that most Catholic marriages are invalid. If that is the case, then what does it matter, he is right, the presumption that the Sacramental Theology that the Sacraments, including Matrimony, are always valid unless proven otherwise be damned. The Pope had no business making this statement, but the very fact that he did and believes it, leads one to understand his motivation. The reality is that the very few Catholics who divorce and remarry civilly and want to come back to the Sacraments with a true heart and contrition, do; through the usual way - if not possible to return to the real spouse, then repentance, and living a life of continence. I know people who have done this. The actual number of those who wish to return without the normative way is even smaller than those who decide not to seek decrees of nullity in the first place.

In this matter, Pinto is deluded or intentionally misleading. Therefore, there must be another reason why Bergoglio and his minions have gone down this road. More than once in the last few weeks, Bergoglio has used the phrase, "motus in fine velocior," - the movement at the end goes faster. We know that the Bergoglio confidant and ghostwriter, Victor Emmanuel Fernadez has said about him:

"The pope must have his reasons, because he knows very well what he’s doing. He must have an objective that we don’t understand yet. You have to realize that he is aiming at a reform that is irreversible. If one day he should intuit that he’s running out of time and he doesn’t have enough time to do what the Spirit is asking him, you can be sure he will speed up."

What are we to conclude from this "speeding up?"

• Bergoglio knows his time is short due to health and will die soon.

• Bergoglio and his minions know that they must ram this heresy and sacrilege through before enough Catholics wake up and rise up against them.

• Bergoglio and his minions know that their generation is quickly dying and that those coming up in the next generation as priests will be formed by Summorum Pontificum and become valiant soldiers of Christ. This is why he is attacking "rigid" seminarians and will soon take moves against orthodox seminaries as he has done to prevent Ordinaries from establishing new Orders without his approval.

It really doesn't matter. The fact is, by their actions, these men, including the Bishop of Rome, have revealed to the faithful that they have no faith. They hate the faith, they hate the Catholic Church. They may not know it, but that is what is revealed by their actions. At best, they have drunk from the whore known as Modernism, "the synthesis of all heresies."

When we hear a Pope speak such words as motus in fine velocior, remember who else is angry because "his time is short."

The article concludes:

In this regard, he stressed the key pontificate Francisco, set out in paragraph 4 of Bula who wrote the Jubilee of Mercy "come to mind the words laden with meaning that John XXIII spoke at the opening of Council to indicate the way forward: ` in our time, the spouse of Christ prefers to use the medicine of mercy rather than take up arms severity . The Catholic Church, by raising through this Ecumenical Council torch of Catholic truth, wants to be friendly mother of all benign, patient, full of mercy and kindness to separated children." Unlike with Protestants Some voices say that the Church might be embracing the Protestant Reformation, the Dean of the Rota explains that "Luther destroyed the Catholic faith of the apostles. The Catholic Church believes that in the Eucharist Jesus Christ is present, and Protestantism does not believe in the real presence of Christ in communion. This is the big difference."

In this respect and during the conference, he recalled that during the synod of bishops, some Synod fathers asked the Pope for a new theological treatise on marriage and Francisco ruled it since said that other parents had already made it clear theology of marriage. (translation confusion)

He recalled that the Pope's message center Francisco is to all those who have felt, or feel, discarded or injured by the Church. He also noted that currently, many people communicant indiscriminately." A nun told me there divorced or living together who are communing. And what must the Church say, yes or no? Pope Francis wants a church close to town."

How wonderful to know that the Church is now governed by those who take the word of some nun, probably in a pant-suit.

Hey, Tom Rosica, is this the "Francis Effect" you wanted?

Thomas J. Rosica, the erstwhile papal spokesman, executive producer or the little watched Salt + Light Television and a member of the rapidly declining, Basilian Congregation in Toronto, produced a video called The Francis Effect.

I wonder if this is the Francis Effect that our friend Tommy counted on?

The current pontificate has coincided with a worldwide decline in major seminary enrollments. After many years of small but steady annual increases in the number of major seminarians during the reigns of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, the numbers slightly dipped in 2012 then went down more steeply in 2013 and 2014. To be more precise: at the end of 2011 there were 120,616 major seminarians. This went down to 120,051 by end of 2012, 118,251 by end of 2013, and 116,319 by end of 2014 (the latest for which statistics are available). If the experience of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires is any indication, and if Francis manages to impose something of his vision on the actual process of priestly formation all over the world, we are convinced that we will see a collapse in vocations far greater than that which has already transpired in the first years of his pontificate.

Down nearly 4,000!

Great work Tom.

Stupendous work George.

Can't have too many rigid seminarians now, can we?

Pope Bergoglio : It's okay to be "rigid" to save the planet, but not to save souls

With all the talk from the Bishop of Rome about the evils of rigidity, it comes as quite notable that he thinks differently when ti comes to "saving the planet." Pope Francis calls on scientists to create a "regulatory system," with "inviolable limits." We all need an "ecological conversion."

Heaven forbid we have a regulatory system with inviolable limits on sin and sacrilege.

Not a word about conversion to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

What irony and hypocrisy.

VATICAN CITY Humanity does not own God's gift of creation and has no right to pillage it, Pope Francis said.

"We are not custodians of a museum and its masterpieces that we have to dust off every morning, but rather collaborators in the conservation and development of the existence and biodiversity of the planet and human life," he said Nov. 28.

The pope addressed experts attending a plenary session of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences Nov. 25-29 to discuss the impact of scientific knowledge and technology on people and the planet.

People in the modern world have grown up "thinking we are the owners and masters of nature, authorized to plunder it without any consideration for its secret potential and evolutionary laws, as if it were an inert substance at our disposal, causing, among other things, a very serious loss of biodiversity," he said.

An "ecological conversion" is needed in which people recognize their responsibility for caring for creation and its resources, for trying to bring about social justice and for overcoming "an unfair system that produces misery, inequality and exclusion," the pope said. In fact, with sustainable development, the tasks of taking care of both people and the planet are inseparable, he said.

He lamented how easily well-founded scientific counsel is "disregarded" and how politics tends to obey technology and finance instead.

The proof of that, he said, is the way countries are still "distracted" or delayed in applying international agreements on the environment as well as the "continuous wars of dominance masquerading as noble declarations that cause increasingly serious harm to the environment and the moral and cultural wealth of peoples."

Pope Francis told the scientists that it was up to them to "build a cultural model to tackle the crisis of climate change and its social consequences so that enormous productive capacities are not reserved only to the few."

To do that, he said, the scientists would have to be free of political, economic and ideological interests, too.

Because scientists have been able to study and demonstrate many crises facing the planet, the pope called on them to be leaders in proposing solutions to the many problems, such as water, energy and food security.

He said it would be "indispensable" for the world's scientists to collaborate and create "a regulatory system that includes inviolable limits and guarantees the protection of ecosystems before new forms of power derived from the technological-economic paradigm produce irreversible damage not just to the environment but also to coexistence, democracy, justice and freedom."
