Is Bergoglio about to change the Mass thereby rendering it, "invalid?" Our penance has begun!

Today the "gesimas" begin and this is Septuagesima Sunday or in the privileged Anglican Catholic Ordinariate, the Third Sunday before Lent. The rest of you, sadly, get to suffer in banality in the deserted wasteland of the Novus Ordo. In the ridiculously named "Ordinary Time" for what was, the Time After Epiphany, it is some ordinary numbered Sunday where you will probably be told that "Lent is coming soon, it is time to prepare," because that is what the notes in the Ordo tell the priest to begin to do. How silly, how utterly banal that a practice stretching back to the earliest times should be stripped away from the liturgical year without even a logical reason. Just another way to debase our work for the glory of God and preparation for ourselves. The colour is now violet, the Gloria is gone, the Alleluia is now removed from the liturgies not to return until the Paschal Vigil. It is "pre-Lent," which the reformers abhorred, a time to prepare. 

Septuagesima from the Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger

Septuagesima Overview including a Reading by Dom Gueranger

Lest the title of this post confuse you, be confused no more. But prepare. Prepare for the Cross which you, dear Catholic, are about to be nailed to. Carry it and use it to strengthen yourself for the fight of our life that is to come sooner than you think. Gosh, how incredible that we get to live this. We were born for this!

We heard a few weeks ago that Bergoglio had ordered a review of Liturgiam Authenticum. 

First, a little background is in order. Liturgiam Authenticum was an order of Pope John Paul II and concerned the translations of the Mass and Liturgy of the Hours, Book of Blessings, Ceremonials, and so on from their original Latin to the vulgar languages. Note here, that we are speaking of the books and liturgy which have been forced upon the people of  God since 1969 and what we call here, the Nervous Disorder, or as Marcel Lefebvre termed it, the "bastard rite."

When the Roman Rite Mass was translated in Missals and for use in 1965, the translations were literal and poetic. The 1969 Missal was translated using the practice of "dynamic equivalence," in other words, it was not necessarily a translation, but a trans-literation. It also was done for diabolical and political reasons, hence, "pro multis" in the Latin Missal of Paul VI was translated as "for all" when it truly means, "for many." The readers here are familiar with the rest of that story and the changes brought in 2011 which we do not need to expand on further here.

Bergoglio purged the Congregation of Divine Worship a few months ago, leaving Cardinal Sarah now, nothing more than a figurehead. It was not long after that news came the news on his demand to review Liturgiam Authenticum which so far, has only been implemented in the English speaking world. 

Of course, the solution, as I have said before, is for you to abandon the distorted Novus Ordo and get back to the proper offering of Holy Mass in the traditional Rite, or go Byzantine, not even Maronite as they have now entrenched the nervously disordered mentality in to their once venerable rite.

Now when the story appeared on this matter, I wrote a post called, "Get out of the Novus Ordo - Bastard Rite II is about to be pushed on you!" 

I will post again this extract from Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich about the Mass of the future. Then, you can read a blog post from a priest in Rome.

If you feel like vomiting afterwards, it's okay. This is all good and necessary, because these rotten, filthy, evil, effeminate clericalists will have declared themselves to be the heretics and devils that the are. And recall that the fish rots from the head first!

“I saw that many of the instruments in the new Church, such as spears and darts, were meant to be used against the living Church. Everyone dragged in something different: clubs, rods, pumps, cudgels, puppets, mirrors, trumpets, horns bellows – all sorts of things. In the cave below (the sacristy) some people kneaded bread, but nothing came of it; it would not rise. The men in the little mantles brought wood to the steps of the pulpit to make a fire. They puffed and blew and laboured hard, but the fire would not burn. All they produced was smoke and fumes. Then they broke a hole in the roof and ran up a pipe, but the smoke would not rise, and the whole place became black and suffocating. Some blew the horns so violently that the tears streamed from their eyes. All in this church belonged to the earth, returned to the earth. All was dead, the work of human skill, a church of the latest style, a church of man’s invention like the new heterodox church in Rome.” Blessed Anne Katherine Emmerich

"Drafts from Santa Marta on intercommunion"

by: Fra Cristoforo

The chronicles of Santa Marta never end. Here is a statement that is nothing short of grotesque.

[Meanwhile], today Bergoglio received an "Ecumenical" delegation of the German Evangelical Church .. read here: http://ilsismografo.blogspot.it/2017/02/vaticano-udienza-di-papa-francesco-allahtml.

Apart from the usual syrupy speeches, there was the usual "beatification" of Luther and his reform..and bla bla bla. But there's more. And I confide this to you in a "secure" way. [Meanwhile] the news that the Bishop of Rome has given directions for a change to the "Eucharistic Liturgy" is already circulating. He gave some leads, which then will pass his scrutiny, in order to - in a nutshell - change the rite of Holy Mass.

I quote only one article on this, but the net is full of sources.

(http://ultimo-papa.blogspot.it/2017/02/bergoglio-ordina-cambiate-la-liturgia.html).

My confidential source from Santa Marta, reporting to me some discussions that he heard between one lunch and another, told me that in fact the change to the Mass, wanted by Bergoglio, has ONLY ONE END: AN ECUMENICAL END. That is, to "create" a Mass that will not be in opposition to the Protestants and therefore be a liturgy that can be celebrated "in communion".

And this is the truth. And this is his intention. A perennial liturgy that, however, would be ecumenical. Obviously I predict that in order to do this, Bergoglio will also have change the text of the "Consecration". This would make the Mass invalid. And I also predict that those who will refuse to celebrate this "new rite" will be considered out of the Church. These times are coming: let's face it. The Bishop of Rome wants to become "el presidente" of the various denominations; and to do this he is selling Jesus Christ at a price much lower than Judas did.

As for me, since I am a priest, I will refuse to celebrate this type of liturgy. And I tell you that we will return to being Christians in the "catacombs." The intent of Bergoglio is, then, to arrive at this: to "modify" in order to "unite." Even today, in the speech to those Lutherans, he has already mentioned that the liturgical division between Catholics and Protestants hurts especially mixed "couples" [ie mixed marriages].

(http://www.lastampa.it/2017/02/06/vaticaninsider/ita/vaticano/francesco-anni-di-lutero-guardare-al-passato-senza-rancori-p7dY9rUSoVCYaFmtTQ57xJ/pagina.html?zanpid=2265813066241618944) ...

So apparently he also wants to speed things up.

My "source" from Santa Marta tells me that is almost done: only a matter of time. Mala tempora currunt. (Latin for "bad times are upon us").

I suggest to all readers to pray to the Madonna with many Rosaries - not to ward off (push away) these times,  because these times are here - but so that she may help you to keep the Faith. "And to persevere in time of persecution. That time will come soon".

Brother Cristoforo

These Roman rumours tend to have a habit of coming true. It is time to add using real math, not that of Spadaro. All that this Pope and his minions have done and said is leading to this. The man refuses to genuflect at Mass but grovels to wash feet. He praises Lutherans but insults the faithful Catholic.

Forewarned is forearmed.   

Has the correction of Bergoglio been done? Does Bergoglio intend to change the Mass - Roman Rumours!

Keeping this short.

1. Consistent reports are coming that the four Cardinals have met with and issued their correction to the Bishop of Rome. If he does not respond, they will go public.

2. It is also rumored that Cardinal Muller has resigned from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith.

On the Mass, it looks as if my recent theory is now also rumoured in Rome. More soon.

Vagina Hat wearing priest, William R. Lugger, praises racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger

William R. Lugger, the parish priest of St. Casimir's in the Diocese of Lansing, in Michigan, is at it again. The so-called, priest, who mistook a pussy hat for a biretta during Mass, has now praised on his Facebook, Margaret Sanger, the racist, eugenicist, murderous founder of Planned Parenthood, the world's largest provider of abortion. 

In addition to Sanger, one finds a prominent pro-abortion American Senator and radical abortion and anti-Catholic Supreme Court Judge.

Mahound's Paradise has the story.

A quick peruse around this pathetic man's Facebook page reveals that he spends too much time in silly games and posts and not enough praying his Office, hearing Confessions or feeding the poor.

https://www.facebook.com/wloogs?fref=ts

William R. Lugger should never been ordained. He is a diabolical narcissist and a man in the service of Satan, not Jesus Christ.

Enough of these effeminate, filthy priests.

"He has answered!" L'Osservatore Romano "fake news" piece takes direct aim at Bergoglio

The Romans are angry.

Less than a week after a poster appeared in hundreds of location throughout Rome, only to be declared illegal by municipal officials who are on a top level search for the culprit, a spoof of the Vatican's own newspaper has been sent throughout the Vatican.

How sad does this make each and every one of us as Catholics. How said is this writer that day be day it becomes even more necessary to report on the outrageous words and actions of this so-called "Holy Father." Bishop of Rome, to be sure, but a Holy Father he is not. How harsh and rigid and judgemental to write such a thing. How true it is when we are daily assaulted from a man who has become and egoist, a megalomaniac, a dictator, an abusive father, a bully.

He is reaping what he has sown.

Father Bergoglio, repent of your errors in Amoris Laetitia, your heresy. Repent of your insults to faithful Catholics, Repent and save your soul.

Time marches on for you too.

ROME- Barely a week after Rome woke up full of anti- Pope Francis posters, anonymous critics were back at it, sending a fake version of the Vatican’s official newspaper to cardinals and officials via email, claiming that the pontiff had answered five dubia, or questions, posed to him by four conservative cardinals about his document Amoris Laetita.

“He has answered!” reads the cover of the satirical edition of L’Osservatore Romano (LOR), the Vatican’s newspaper, which carries the date of Jan. 17.

Let's go give the declining Crux some hits and see the rest there:

Bergoglio is at peace with Vatican corruption but worries over young and traditional vocations

You can read it all here. More insults, more degradation to those following a "rigid" life.

Look at these rigid yutes. These who Bergoglio mocks.

Vicar of Christ, you say?

Vicar of the "god of surprises!"

Washington Post publishes a screed calling upon Francis to rid the Church of Cardinal Burke and other "enablers of neo-facisim"

A disgusting anti-Catholic and Marxist screed.

I highly doubt that this arrogant, so-called, journalist, would write such a critical piece on Islam. 

What is happening here is a realization that Francis is in jeopardy, a jeopardy of his own making. There is going to be a massive schism and it will be caused by Francis. This article is a plant and part of a wider plan to defend Bergoglio from the outcry of faithful Catholics.

This woman is using Alinsky tactics to target and assassinate Cardinal Burke, if she could do so literally, I have no doubt that she would. The evil that flows from the keyboard of this Symons and the recent piece in the New York Times is so obvious to see. 

They will all come crashing down and will fall like snowflakes in to Hell.

May Our Blessed LORD continue to guide Cardinal Burke and may St. Michael protect him from these enemies. Amen.

Emma-Kate Symons is a Washington-based journalist and former Paris correspondent. Her work has been published in Foreign Policy, Women in the World in association with the New York Times, Quartz, the Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal and the Australian Financial Review.

Pope Francis needs to take tougher action against the United States’ most influential Catholic in Rome, Cardinal Raymond “Breitbart” Burke. The renegade cleric is not only undermining Francis’s reformist, compassionate papacy, and gospel teaching as it applies to refugees and Muslims, but the rebel prince of the church is also using his position within the walls of the Vatican to legitimize extremist forces that want to bring down Western liberal democracy, Stephen K. Bannon-style. Simply put, the Vatican is facing a political war between the modernizing Pope Francis and a conservative wing that wants to reassert white Christian dominance.

Burke was reduced to a ceremonial patron role at the Knights of Malta after a power struggle at the ancient chivalric order, won by the pope last month, following a spat over its humanitarian wing’s alleged distribution of condoms. Losing the leadership battle and prestige at the secretive society headquartered in Rome — Francis is appointing his own special delegate above Burke — was seen as a papal rap on the knuckles for the cardinal leading the charge against Francis’s writings on communion for divorcees.  But the virulently anti-Islam (“capitulating to Islam would be the death of Christianity”), migrant-phobic,  Donald Trump-defending, Vladimir Putin-excusing Burke is unrepentant and even defiant, continuing to preside over a far-right, neo-fascist-normalizing cheer squad out of the Holy See.

This Vatican operation, called Dignitatis Humanae, or the Institute for Human Dignity, whose advisory board includes two of the four cardinals openly challenging Francis on marriage and sexuality, is slavishly promoting Burke’s favorite American white Catholic nationalist, Bannon, with star billing on its home page. The institute’s top office-bearers, Burke and his henchman, the media-savvy Breitbart contributor Benjamin Harnwell, are also encouraging Benito Mussolini fan Matteo Salvini, of Italy’s Northern League, and Muslim-baiting far-right Catholic poster girl Marion Le Pen, the National Front “rising star” niece of party leader Marine Le Pen in France.

As the Italian press first revealed, Burke held a long meeting last week at his Vatican home with Salvini, a fierce critic of the pope who wants to push refugees back into the sea and close all mosques in Italy. It was a flagrant political intervention on the side of the extreme-right racist grouping ahead of the Italian elections. Mysterious posters also appeared around the Vatican decrying a sinister-looking pope’s “decapitation” of the Malta Knights order.

The situation facing the Catholic Church raises alarming parallels with the ideological warfare that split the Vatican in the 1930s when ethnic nationalism was sweeping Europe under Mussolini and Hitler and when fascist forces infiltrated the highest echelons of the church. In 1937, Pope Pius XI published an encyclical in German denouncing the Nazi regime and its racism. The diatribe infuriated Hitler, but the focus was more on Nazi persecution of Catholics than laws targeting Jews.

In Italy, the Vatican had long made accommodations with Mussolini for its own geopolitical gains, and Pius XI failed to quell widespread institutional anti-Semitism in the church before it was too late. When Mussolini decreed in 1938 that Italian Jews were to suffer a legal fate similar to those in Germany, Pius XI tried to prepare a fresh encyclical deploring anti-Semitism and racism, as revealed in historian David Kertzer’s book “The Pope and Mussolini,” he was double-crossed by pro-fascist forces in the Vatican working in tandem with Il Duce. Senior figures in the French Catholic Church also collaborated with fascism in France, where the Vichy regime aided the Nazis in deporting about 80,000 Jews to the death camps.

 The lesson of history has not been lost on Francis. After President Trump’s inauguration, he warned that rising populism could produce a new Hitler. But now, as Europe faces historic elections that could bring extreme-right nationalists back into power across the continent for the first time since World War II, he must act. The bellicose anti-Islam invective being marshaled by figures such as Burke shares much in common with the vicious anti-Semitism many Catholic clerics adhered to in the 1930s, when they saw Jews as a danger to the Christian West whose rights must be restricted.

Burke, like Bannon, who says Islam is “the most radical” religion in the world, makes no distinction in his clash-of-civilizations frenzy between the Muslim faith’s diverse currents and interpretations, and violent jihadist movements derived mostly from Saudi-style Salafism. Unsurprisingly, Burke says he is “very satisfied” with Russian autocrat Putin’s “defense of life and family” and believes he may have “converted” since his KGB days. Yet, just as godless Communism posed an existential threat in the past, the Catholic Church has nothing to gain and everything to lose from cozying up to far-right extremists from the United States to Europe. They distort Christianity into an exclusionary ideology in defense of nation and race, and unite a new support base of Muslim-haters with historically anti-Semitic movements such as the National Front that are anything but Christian, and often neo-pagan.

The options open to the pope in dealing with Burke are limited. Excommunication isn’t in the cards; Burke is not a heretic denying the Catholic faith. Nor is Burke refusing to submit to the pontiff like French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was cast out by John Paul II after his ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X ordained its own bishops rather than take directions from the Vatican.

However, Francis, who has full authority over his cardinals, could fully remove Burke from his remaining sinecure with Knights of Malta, call him in for a pastoral correction on the issue of his unacceptable political interventions, investigate Dignitatis Humanae with a view to shutting it down for its subversive politicking, and send the rebel cardinal back home to the United States. As Burke tries to run an insurgency and rebukes the pope for his doctrinal “ambiguities,” with the backing of thousands of priests, Francis could seize the agenda. In time-honored papal tradition, he could write an encyclical on the burning questions of populism and nationalism, with specific reference to migrants, Muslims and Jews, so priests including Burke know they are in breach of church teaching when they try to act as power brokers for the international extreme right.

The stakes could hardly be higher, especially as the pope seems on a collision course with a Trump-Bannon White House that has imposed a form of a Muslim ban and disparaged him during the election campaign for daring to suggest that building a wall on the United States’ southern border was un-Christian. If the pope doesn’t put the reactionary elements such as Burke and his cronies back in their place, they could force a real schism during his papacy and leave the church open to justifiable accusations it failed to stand up to enablers of extremism and neo-fascism within its ranks.

Vatican official close to Pope’s inner circle shares explosive information

Our good friends at LifeSiteNews put out this article again on Twitter, overnight.

Perhaps, the time has come to disclose the identity.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-official-close-to-popes-inner-circle-shares-explosive-information?

Plane conversation

I boarded the plane and took my seat. An older, rather heavy-set Italian who looked like he’d eaten his fair share of pasta sat down next to me. We exchanged greetings, and he introduced himself as an official of the former Pontifical Council for the Family, headed by Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia.

The official seemed to feel quite free to speak, and was keen to express that he knew Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, secretary general of the Synod of Bishops. There were a couple of moments during our conversation when he admitted he had spoken at length to Cardinal Baldisseri, but he could not reveal the contents of their conversation.

Our conversation quickly turned to the upcoming Synod. I simply asked questions and was sincerely listening and interested in his viewpoint. Also on this account, I think he felt free to speak. The beginning of our conversation focused a lot on the Kasper proposal,* and I was trying to understand the logic behind it.

Question: [After asking repeatedly about how someone can enter a second union when the first marriage is sacramental and valid] I don’t understand. If the first marriage was sacramental and valid, how can someone be admitted to Communion if they are in a second civil union? What about the indissolubility of marriage?

Response: What do you do when the indissolubility is dead, when there’s no more feeling?

[“Come si fa quando l’indissolubilta è morta, quando non c’è piu sentimento?]

I thought to myself: This is the last thing a priest should say to a newly married couple who is experiencing difficulty.

After some back and forth, I asked:

Question: But what about Pope John Paul II’s Familiaris Consortio, 84?**

Response: How can we accept [“ammettere”] it? It was written 30 years ago …

Question: But what about where Pope John Paul II says, in FC 84, that according to the Sacred Scripture and Tradition, someone who’s first marriage is valid and who is in a second union can’t be admitted to Holy Communion unless they live as brother and sister.

Response: We can’t expect a man and woman who are sleeping in the same bed to live as brother and sister.

Our conversation turned to some of the people the Pope had appointed to the Synod.

Question: The Pope chose Cardinal Kasper to attend the Synod. Do you think this means the Pope agrees with Kasper?

Response: [Notable Pause] … Yes

Question: What do you think of Kasper?

Response: “He’s the most intelligent man in the room.”

Question: And Cardinal Burke? …

Response: [Quickly he said] He’s not coming. He doesn’t count for anything; he’s too Lefebvrist.  [“Non conta per niente; è troppo Lefebvrista”]

Question: But I imagine there will be a lot of opposition from some of the bishops and cardinals at the Synod, especially from Africa, America, Poland. What will Pope Francis do?

Response: “He will listen, and then he’ll do what he wants.”

Question: But what about Pope Benedict? I don’t imagine he would agree.

Response: He’s a theologian, but he’s got no pastoral experience.

Question: And the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith?

Response: [With what seemed a disparaging tone] They think they are the guardians of the faith! The Pope is the guardian of the faith.

Question: I heard that the Pope appointed Cardinal Danneels*** to attend the Synod …

Response: Ah, what a good man … he is refined … [“è raffinato”]

Our conversation eventually turned to other more benign topics, then ended until we arrived in Rome. When we landed, he gave me his name and telephone number.

"What a good man," eh? that Cardinal Danneels, a protector of a homosexual priest rapist.

What a perverted mind in this corpulent cleric who spoke so imprudently but revealed so much.

Look at these two. Plotting. Conniving. Would Christ do this?

We are in the presence of a creeping schism

Question - The Remnant: hat do you think the ultimate consequences of this situation could be, if it is not resolved?

Answer - Msgr. Nicola Bux: It has been said by far more authoritative clergy that we are in the presence of a creeping schism: a non-Catholic thought has entered the Catholic Church, a thought which considers the Mass only as a banquet rather than primarily as a sacrifice, marriage as a human act and not as an indissoluble sacrament, talking of sin and grace as by now outdated, a thought preaching morals of mercy irrespective of conversion and penance, and so on. Isn’t it a way to liquidate the Church? The work of the Church in the world is the victory over evil and death; We must fear not primarily those who kill the body, but those who damn the souls to eternal punishment.

I would call it an immensely stupid, untimely, arrogant and ridiculous screed!

Get your tinkering, modernist, uneducated, liturgically incompetent silly little brain off the the Holy Mass and concentrate on saving your souls and your flocks!

Have I said it plainly enough Father Stravinskas?

Bergoglio's sycophantic Spadaro floats the WomynPriest trial-balloon

The magazine published by Bergoglio's sycophant Antonio Spadaro a fellow Jesuit and intimate of the Bishop of Rome has floated a trial-balloon on the ordination of women.

Is there one, just one Cardinal who will confront this man directly to his face?

Do they have no fear of Hell?

From Sandro Magister:

http://magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2017/02/07/latest-from-santa-marta-open-doors-for-women-priests/

ONE CANNOT SIMPLY RESORT TO THE PAST
 by Giancarlo Pani, S.J.

[…] On Pentecost of 1994, Pope John Paul II summarized, in the apostolic letter “Ordinatio Sacerdotalis,” the outcome of a series of previous magisterial statements (including “Inter Insigniores”), concluding that Jesus has chosen only men for the priestly ministry. Therefore “the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women. This judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.”

The statement was a clear word for those who maintained that the refusal of priestly ordination for women could be discussed. Nonetheless, […] some time later, following the problems raised not so much by the doctrine as by the force with which it was presented, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was presented with a question: can “ordinatio sacerdotalis” be “considered as belonging to the deposit of the faith?” The answer was “affirmative,” and the doctrine was described as “infallibiliter proposita,” meaning that “it must be held always, everywhere, and by all the faithful.”

Difficulties with the answer’s reception have created “tensions” in relations between magisterium and theology over the connected problems. These are pertinent to the fundamental theology on infallibility. It is the first time in history that the congregation explicitly appealed to the constitution “Lumen Gentium” no. 25, which proclaims the infallibility of a doctrine that is taught as definitively binding by the bishops dispersed throughout the world but in communion among themselves and with the successor of Peter.

Moreover, the question touches upon the theology of the sacraments, because it concerns the subject of the sacrament of Orders, which traditionally is indeed man, but this does not take into account the developments that the presence of woman in the family and in society has undergone in the 21st century. This is a matter of ecclesial dignity, responsibility, and participation.

The historical fact of the exclusion of woman from the priesthood because of the “impedimentum sexus” is undeniable. Nevertheless, already in 1948, and therefore well ahead of the disputes of the 1960’s, Fr. Congar pointed out that “the absence of a fact is not a decisive criterion for concluding prudently in every case that the Church cannot do it and will never do it.”

Moreover, another theologian adds, the “consensus fidelium” of many centuries has been called into question in the 20th century above all on account of the profound sociocultural changes concerning woman. It would not make sense to maintain that the Church must change only because the times have changed, but it remains true that a doctrine proposed by the Church needs to be understood by the believing intelligence. The dispute over women priests could be set in parallel with other moments of Church history; in any case, today in the question of female priesthood the “auctoritates,” or official positions of the magisterium, are clear, but many Catholics have a hard time understanding the “rationes” of decisions that, more than expressions of authority, appear to signify authoritarianism. Today there is unease among those who fail to understand how the exclusion of woman from the Church’s ministry can coexist with the affirmation and appreciation of her equal dignity.” […]

*

In the judgment of “La Civiltà Cattolica,” therefore, not only should the infallibility and definitiveness of John Paul II’s “no” to women priests be brought into doubt, but more important than this “no” are the “developments that the presence of woman in the family and society has undergone in the 21st century.”

These developments - the reasoning of the magazine continues - now render incomprehensible the “rationes” for prohibitions “that, more than expressions of authority, appear to signify authoritarianism.”

“One cannot always resort to the past, as if only in the past are there indications of the Spirit. Today as well the Spirit is guiding the Church and suggesting the courageous assumption of new perspectives.”

And Francis is the first “not to limit himself to what is already known, but wants to delve into a complex and relevant field, so that it may be the Spirit who guides the Church,” concludes “La Civiltà Cattolica,” evidently with the pope’s imprimatur.

(English translation by Matthew Sherry, Ballwin, Missouri, U.S.A.)

Has Cardinal Kasper just declared Pope Francis, a heretic?

From Edward Pentin:

Meanwhile, Cardinal Walter Kasper, a close confidant of the Holy Father, has said he believes allowing intercommunion with Protestants in cases such as a mixed marriage is “the position of the current Pope.” 

In comments made to Italian television, the cardinal said of Holy Communion: “In certain cases, I think yes, if they share the same faith in the Eucharist, this is presupposed, and if they are interiorly disposed, they can refer to their conscience to go to Communion, and this, I think, is also the position of the current Pope.”

If there is a “couple or a family, you cannot divide them in front of the altar,” Cardinal Kasper said.

Here can be no "intercommunion with Protestants." They don't believe. If an individual protestant does, than let him become Catholic.

These "couples" have divided themselves, it is not the Church that divides them.

Where has the legitimate process of annulment gone? This is about those who are in valid marriages. Kasper, Marx, Bergoglio, these are deceitful men who now, thanks to Kasper and the effeminate twins in Malta, have disclosed it all for us to see.

Let Bergoglio deny it.

You rigid and safe Catholic, you are not "free!!

Once again, the Bishop or Rome has manipulated the burdensome Pharisaical laws with the true Commandments of God and the effort of Catholics to remain faithful to His divine and just Law. Speaking in a homily at the Vatican City Motel, the Bishop of Rome stated:

“When Jesus says: ‘The Father is always at work: I, too, am always at work,’ the teachers of the law were scandalized and wanted to kill him for this. Why? Because they could not receive the things of God as a gift! Only as Justice: ‘These are the Commandments: but they are few, let’s make more. And instead of opening their heart to the gift, they hid, have sought refuge in the rigidity of the Commandments, which they had multiplied up to 500 or more ... They did not know how to receive the gift – and the gift is only received with freedom – and these rigid characters were afraid of the freedom that God gives us: they were afraid of love.”

“How do I receive the redemption, the forgiveness that God has given me, the making of me a son with His Son? Lovingly, tenderly, with freedom? Or do I hide in the rigidity of the closed Commandments, that are more and more “safe” – with emphasis on the scare-quotes – but that do not give joy, because they does not make you free. Each of us ought to ask himself wonder how he is experiencing these two wonders: the wonder of creation and even greater wonder of re-creation. May the Lord make us understand this great thing and make us understand what He was doing before creating the world: He was loving. Let us understand His love for us, and may we say – as we said today: ‘Lord, you are great! Thank you, thank you!’ Let us go forward like this.

The beloved Apostle of the Lord, St John the Evangelist, recorded the words of Jesus in his Gospel, at chapter 8: 28-32

"Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak: And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him. When he spoke these things, many believed in him. Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

To be a disciple of Jesus means to "continue in (His) word. This would mean that as a disciple we would love Him and as he said, "If you love me, keep my Commandments."

We have made no “new” laws, no “new” commandments. We follow those of God, to love him and one like unto it, "our neighbour as ourselves." Within those two commands are all the others. The Bishop of Rome is manipulating the reality here to make his heresy that those who are unrepentant adulterers are not in grievous sin that is mortal and may receive the Sacraments.

Day by day, this Bergoglio reveals more of the corrupted thinking that has infected his faith and what he expects you to follow to infect yours. 

Frankly, he is a coward. He does not have the courage to come right out and state it, instead, he plays with words and has others, such as those in Buenos Aires, Germany and Malta and a few derelict bishop in America to do his bidding. He is having these malefactors set it up and then he is able to stay just above it, not committing a formal heresy, not proclaiming a false doctrine.  He is a coward because he knows, if he was to say outright what he thinks, he would be declared a formal heretic.

No, the Pope is wrong and he must be called out.

Bishops?

Cardinals?
