The Bergoglio-Lombardi diabolical disorientation

When Pope Benedict XVI mused during an aeroplane interview about a male prostitute using a condom to prevent AIDS it was a theoretical proposition suited to a seminary lecture on moral theology and stating it was an error. 

The story of Paul VI granting permission for nuns in the Congo to use an oral contraceptive because they might become pregnant if raped is exactly that, a story. It was recorded in a book. There is no evidence he allowed it or ordered it and even if he did, it was not then and is not now, magisterial teaching.

The above being said and out of the way. Federico Lombardi, S.J. has now tried to spin a few things from yesterday's ridiculous interview with Jorge Bergoglio, Pope of Rome, and the world's anti-Catholic media. LifeSiteNews has the full report.

Lombardi is now affirming that Bergoglio was indeed speaking about the use of contraceptives for the Zika virus.

If this is true, then Lombardi is a corrupt and evil man. His duty as a Catholic priest was to advise the Bishop of Rome that he would not report such a scandalous affirmation and then promptly resign.

We are in a grave crisis unknown since Arius.

My brothers and sisters in Christ. Do not abandon your faith. Do not abandon our Holy Mother, the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Do not flirt with sedevacantism, or the Orthodox who are schismatic. Abandon these monsters in clerical clothing but do not abandon our Mother. 

Fight friends. 

We were born for this!

Prayer of St. Clement Mary Hofbauer

O my Redeemer,
will that dreadful time ever come,
when but few Christians shall be left
who are inspired by the spirit of faith,
that time when Thine anger shall be provoked
and Thy protection shall be take away from us?
Have our vices and our evil lives
irrevocably moved Thy justice to take vengeance,
perhaps this very day,
upon Thy children?
O Thou, the beginning and end of our faith,
we conjure Thee,
in the bitterness of our contrite and humbled hearts,
not to suffer the fair light of faith
to be extinguished in us.
Remember Thy mercies of old,
turn Thine eyes in mercy upon the vineyard
planted by Thine own right hand,
and watered by the sweat of the Apostles,
by the precious blood of countless Martyrs
and by the tears of so many sincere penitents,
and made fruitful by the prayers
of so many Confessors and innocent Virgins.
O divine Mediator,
look upon those zealous souls
who raise their hearts to Thee
and pray ceaselessly
for the maintenance of that most precious gift of Thine,
the true faith.
We beseech Thee,
O God of justice,
to hold back the decree of our rejection,
and to turn away Thine eyes from our vices
and regard instead the adorable Blood
shed upon the Cross,
which purchased our salvation
and daily intercedes for us upon our altars.
Ah, keep us safe in the true Catholic and Roman faith.
Let sickness afflict us,
vexations waste us,
misfortunes overwhelm us!
But preserve in us Thy holy faith;
for if we are rich with this precious gift,
we shall gladly endure every sorrow,
and nothing shall ever be able to change our happiness.
On the other hand,
without this great treasure of faith,
our unhappiness would be unspeakable and without limit!
O good Jesus, author of our faith,
preserve it untainted within us;
keep us safe in the bark of Peter,
faithful and obedient to his successor
and Thy Vicar here on earth,
that so the unity of Holy Church may be maintained,
holiness fostered,
the Holy See protected in freedom,
and the Church universal extended
to the benefit of souls.
O Jesus, author of our faith,
humble and convert the enemies of Thy Church;
grant true peace
and concord to all Christian kings and princes
and to all believers;
strengthen and preserve us in Thy holy service,
so that we may live in Thee and die in Thee.
O Jesus, author of our faith,
let me live for Thee and die for Thee.
 Amen.

Bergoglio's Blunder and manipulation by neglect of the rest of what he said by Catholic media priests

The link below contains "Pope Francis contraception Zika".

https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=pope+francis+contraception+zika&safe=strict&tbm=nws

When one clicks on it, one finds the global media use of Pope Bergoglio's musings on his plane interview about the Zika virus and contraception. The damage is wide and it is severe. The media have spun this and Catholics, ignorant of the truth, will believe it and others will simply ignore it or mock the traditional and timeless truth as not true all these years.

The least that Jorge Bergoglio has done is create mass confusion about Catholic teaching, the worst he has done is to approve of an evil. Where is the scientific proof that the virus causes the birth defect which is the concern? Is it possible that this defect is caused by the pesticides manufactured by Monsanto to control the mosquito? Can people not simply abstain? Where is the evidence that it is passed on sexually

How long until the Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church call this man out?

Yet, this is not all.

There was some good in what he said in the interview, on abortion and the protection of minors and then Cardinal Ratzinger's work in this regard, specifically.

Yet, these are not now the story and perhaps can never be, given the nature of what happened with the matter of the election and contraception and the news cycle. We also have the action of certain Tweeting priests praising his comments on Donald Trump but ignoring his condemnation of abortion.

Are priests Ed Beck, James Martin and American Tom Rosica shills for the Democratic Party?

The Pope must be told to stop giving these interviews. If he will not abide, then the questions must be taken in advance and responded to in text, only!

Enough of this zoo.

Enough of this papolatry that every word uttered from his mouth is truth and in accord with the faith.

Pope intercedes in U.S. Presidential election - a shameful and disgraceful utterance!

Phil Pullella, Reuters: Today, you spoke very eloquently about the problems of immigration. On the other side of the border, there is a very tough electoral battle. One of the candidates for the White House, Republican Donald Trump, in an interview recently said that you are a political man and he even said that you are a pawn, an instrument of the Mexican government for migration politics. Trump said that if he’s elected, he wants to build 2,500 kilometers of wall along the border. He wants to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, separating families, etcetera. I would like to ask you, what do you think of these accusations against you and if a North American Catholic can vote for a person like this? 

Pope Francis: Thank God he said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as 'animal politicus.' At least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people. And then, a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel. As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.

Jorge Bergoglio has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Papacy. By his comments today, he has interfered directly in the election of the President of the United States of America.

Donald Trump

It has become common place to dread every flight back from a papal visit wondering what would come from the mouth of the Bishop of Rome. We were again disappointed that our concerns would come to fruition.

Nations have the right and the responsibility to secure their borders. Nations have a right to defend themselves. A wall on America's southern border is decades overdue. His reference to Donald Trump as not being "Christian" cannot be supported. Any defense that he was speaking in some general term and not specific simply cannot be believed. It is simply not possible to accept that he did not know of Mr. Trump's proposal or that the question would have referred to that proposal. 

The reporter set him up. The Pope fell for it and not "if" is good enough. The Pope must have known that the reporter was speaking specifically about Mr.Trump, it could have been no other way. Bill Donahue, on Fox commenting on the exact quote read to him said that the Pope, "qualified" his remark. The whole quote makes it even more obvious that the Pope would have no doubt as to the political implications of his statement as it referred to the "wall" and whether "Catholics could vote" for someone who would build a wall.

Donald Trump is a Presbyterian Christian Protestant. We must assume he has been baptised. Thus, he is a Christian. He may be in a schismatic and heretical denomination; he may be a vulgar sinner, none of that means that he is not a Christian, just that he is a flawed human being as we all are.

Baptised Catholic Raul Castro and Pope Bergoglio

It is not anti-Christian to hold the defense of a nation as paramount, in fact, it is a Christian duty!

All or most of the candidates for the Republican nomination want to build a wall. It is clear that the questioner was referring to Donald Trump and is most known for the position.

Where is Jorge Bergoglio's condemnation of our radical abortion, euthanasia supporting, Catholic Prime Minister who worshipped in a Mosque?

Where is Jorge Bergoglio's condemnation of those such as Raul and Fidel Castro for the murders, tortures and imprisonments of thousands of Cubans?

"Christian" Hussein Obama with Pope Bergolio

Where is the condemnation by Jorge Bergoglio for Barack Hussein Obama who has advocated radical policies murdering children in the womb?

Where is the condemnation of Hussein Obama as not being a Christian for failing to come to the immediate aid of those in Mosul and elsewhere in Iraq and Syria being slaughtered for all to see?

Yet, he was asked a not dissimilar manner of question about the situation in Italy, yet; he clearly understood the need to steer clear of Italian politics, why not the same understanding for American politics? 

Carlo Marroni, Il Sole 24 (Italy): Holy Father, my question is about the family, a subject which you addressed often during this trip. The Italian parliament is discussing a law on civil unions, a subject that is provoking strong political clashes but also a strong debate in society and among Catholics. In particular, I would like to know your thoughts on the subject of adoption by civil unions and therefore on the rights of children and of sons and daughters in general. 

Pope Francis: First of all, I don’t know how things stand in the thinking of the Italian parliament. The Pope doesn’t get mixed up in Italian politics. At the first meeting I had with the (Italian) bishops in May 2013, one of the three things I said was: with the Italian government you’re on your own. Because the pope is for everybody and he can’t insert himself in the specific internal politics of a country. This is not the role of the pope, right? And what I think is what the Church thinks and has said so often – because this is not the first country to have this experience, there are so many – I think what the Church has always said about this.

The full text of the plane ride interview can be read at Catholic World Report. The Pope says some good things and worthwhile things in his own odd way and much of it is rambling. He praises Cardinal Ratzinger's work to root out the pervert priests, he condemns bishops who cover them up. He call abortion "evil" and then he steps on the landmine of agreeing with some sort of contraception for a virus to prevent a disease that is not scientifically determined to be caused by it.

These interviews must stop!

As for the primary news item from this post, it will launch him to victory on Saturday. This Catholic apologises to Mr. Trump and wonders, who is Francis to judge? 

One year ago today

It was one year ago today on what was in 2015, Shrove Tuesday; I sat lunching with a colleague, and an email came over my smart-phone from Fogler, Rubinoff, LLB, one of Toronto's most expensive legal firms. It was a demand to cease and desist from writing on this blog anything said or done by Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB, remove past posts and issue a public apology to him for challenging certain public statements by him on this blog. If I did not do so within an incredibly short period of time, I would be sued. If I did, I was threatened with a lawsuit, regardless.

Just over a two-weeks later, the matter ended. After retaining Counsel, I refused to comply with his outrageous demands and advised him so, giving him room to graciously exit the room backwards. Rather than take that opportunity, he chose instead to "double-down," as the expression goes, making even more ridiculous demands. We not only refused, but pulled the first magnanimous offer of settlement off the table and threw it right back at him. "Fish or cut bait" is one of the expressions, for what we did; in other words, he had until March 3, 2015 at close of business to either sue or go away. 

Go away, he did.

Between that February 17 and March 3 remarkable things happened.

• Michael Voris came to my rescue with a video interview that sent a shock-wave around the Catholic blogging world.
• Hundreds of bloggers took up the cause that what was really at play here was an attempt by a Vatican official and perhaps even those higher up to shut down debate before the Synod on the Family.
• A Cardinal of the Holy Church, Raymond Leo Burke,  provided clarity on priests, laity and lawsuits, and did so publicly.
• A holy bishop in an obscure diocese in a former Soviet Republic, Athanasius Schneider, offered Mass and wrote words of great spiritual comfort and consolation to my wife and me.
• Upon entering Mass that first Sunday afterwards, a parishioner walked up to me and shook my hand. In his was a cheque for the exact amount, 100% of funds to cover the retainer provided to hire the lawyer (since returned to him) with the comment, "this is from Our Lady."
• The offers of hundreds of people who would donate to a fundraising campaign to finance a robust defense of the frivolous and vexatious actions.
• The offer of a "pro-bono" Canon Lawyer from the United States of America who would undertake a robust challenge in church courts to the action.
• The prayers, rosaries, Masses of hundreds of readers of this blog which quickly grew to thousands. Friends old and new came to my aid. Knives came out from others who used the opportunity to slander, including accusing my wife and I of living in adultery, but they were quickly disgraced by their own calumnies and evil motivation and the power of your prayers. 
• The new friends on blogs around the world.
• PewSitter!
• Last here but first in all things, the Grace of God poured out upon this sinner who is undeserving of it all.

That morning, this rather obscure blog had just over 600,000 hits after ten years. I suspect that by the end of the day today or tomorrow, it will surpass 1.8 million. 

For all of your prayers especially and notes. For your kindness and offers of help. For everything you did during that stressful time, I thank you. Fox thanks you and may Our Lord bless you.

Is Cardinal Ravasi a Freemason?

A number of times I have written on this blog about the infiltration of Freemasons into the upper hierarchy of Holy Mother Church. This is nothing new, we have been warned about this for over a century or more from our holy popes.

After the election of Pope Francis, the Grand Orient Lodge of Italy's Grand Master stated that "nothing would be the same again."

I have also written about the disgraced Emeritus Cardinal of Washington, Theodore McCarrick's statements in a talk which revealed that he was lobbied to vote for Jorge Card. Bergoglio and to "talk him up."

Cardinal Ravasi calls for Dialogue with Freemasonry - Excerpts

Dear Brother Masons

Over and above our different identities, there is no lack of common values: a sense of community, charitable work and the fight against materialism.

Gianfranco Ravasi [Cardinal President of the Pontifical Council for Culture] 

IL SOLE 24ORE

Sunday, February 14, 2016

[Excerpts]

“…These various declarations on the incompatibility of the two memberships in the Church or in Freemasonry, do not impede, however, dialogue, as is explicitly stated in the German Bishops’ document that had already listed the specific areas of discussion, such as the communitarian dimension, works of charity, the fight against materialism, human dignity and knowledge of each other. 

“Further, we need to rise above that stance from certain Catholic integralist spheres, which – in order to hit out at some exponents even in the Church’s hierarchy who displease them – have recourse to accusing them apodictically of being members of Freemasonry. In conclusion, as the German Bishops wrote, we need to go beyond reciprocal “hostility, insults and prejudices” since “in comparison to past centuries the tone and way of manifesting [our]differences has improved and changed” even if they [the differences] still remain in a clearly defined way.”

The Grand Orient Lodge of Italy has it on their web page.

No Catholic can be a Freemason. It is contrary to the One, True, Faith and the Church. The mission of Freemasonry is the destruction of the Catholic Church, globalism, corporatism, one world religion and world government. It is evil and despicable in every way. It is an excommunicable matter for a Catholic and one that risks the very soul.

Ravasi is guilty of grave scandal, in the least.

Turning mercy into a selfie joke with a pope

What are these "Missionaries of Mercy" that Francis has sent out around the world?

Is this a joke?

I've written this before; there are no sins a priest in the confessional in your local parish cannot forgive under the usual conditions, admission, sorrow, contrition and a firm purpose of amendment.

There are four penalties reserved for the Holy See. This means the priest can forgive but the penalty is reserved for the Holy See to determine. The matters is to be referred to Rome for a determination.

Of the four sins, three concern clergy, one, the profanation of the Holy Eucharist could affect the laity.

So, what is this joke of the Missionaries of Mercy that Francis has sent out to the world?

What a sham. 

What a mockery.

Cardinal Burke in Poland

The wise lion Raymond Cardinal Burke was recently in Poland. Here is a video of a conference which he gave. His comments begin around the 10 minute mark. It was presented by Polonia Christiana. While in Poland, Cardinal Burke also celebrated a Pontifical Mass. 

Our blogging friend, S. Armaticus at The Deus Ex Machina Blog, has worked on a translation of the Q&A which can be read and appreciated for the clarity and common sense of this great man.

The Wanderer Press interviewed Cardinal Burke in January and his comments about the recent Synod are most important. 

May the Lord bless us that this man one day wear the papal white!

Has Thomas J. Rosica, CSB hurt his back or perhaps his knees? Does he need glasses to read the Missal?

Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB showed up recently at the "Daily Mass" on television in Toronto.

Shall we take a look?

Here is our good priest at the 19:37 minute mark right after the consecration of the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is bowing.

Here he is at 20:11 after the elevation of the chalice containing the Precious Blood of Our Lord.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICJnUQyv8Jc

Has Father Tom hurt his back? Perhaps his knees are bad? 

Or, could this be the famous, "Francis Effect?; after all, he doesn't genuflect before the Lord in the Eucharist either, though he can grovel on the floor to wash feet.

No, I'm sure Tom has hurt his back or his knees. Just like George.

In the video below at this link; you will note that, even under the old and incorrect translation, our advisor to the Bishop of Rome took liberty and changed the words of the Mass, relegating it as "llicit." 

"...these gifts of bread and wine be acceptable to God our Father in heaven." 

At the time, the translation was "...that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father" and is now rendered correctly as "...my sacrifice and yours..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqKJkcptsV8

Father Rosica is one who frequently cites and praises the Second Vatican Council. Shall we look and see what Paragraph 23.3 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctam Concilium, the first document issued by the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council has to say about this?

22.3 Therefore no other person, even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority.

St. John Paul II ordered the disciplinary Instruction, Redemptionis Sacramentum, to be enacted which states emphatically: 

59. The reprobated practice by which priests, deacons or the faithful here and there alter or vary at will the texts of the Sacred Liturgy that they are charged to pronounce, must cease. For in doing thus, they render the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy unstable, and not infrequently distort the authentic meaning of the Liturgy.

We also find in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, the very Missal of 2002 now in use, the following: 

Nevertheless, the priest must remember that he is the servant of the Sacred Liturgy and that he himself is not permitted, on his own initiative, to add, to remove, or to change anything in the celebration of Mass. [GIRM§ 24]

The GIRM in the Third Edition of the Roman Missal also states:

42. The gestures and posture of the priest, the deacon, and the ministers, as well as those of the people, ought to contribute to making the entire celebration resplendent with beauty and noble simplicity, so that the true and full meaning of the different parts of the celebration is evident and that the participation of all is fostered.[52] Therefore, attention should be paid to what is determined by this General Instruction and the traditional practice of the Roman Rite and to what serves the common spiritual good of the People of God, rather than private inclination or arbitrary choice. [§42] 

Perhaps Father Rosica has hurt his back, or his knees.

I hope he gets well soon.

A dark day it was, a darker anniversary it is still.

Have mercy upon me O God, in your kindness blot out my offense

Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. 
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. 
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. 
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. 
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. 
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. 
Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor. 
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata. 
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis. 
Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me. 
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me. 
Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur. 
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam. 
Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. 
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis. 
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies. Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem. 
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Ave Regina Caelorum - Isabella Leonarda

We are at the door of Lent. Since February 3, the seasonal Marian Antiphon is now Ave Regina Caelorum. 

It is the one, when Easter is early, that is the least known and sung. Given that, it was not often set to polyphony. In my time as part of the Toronto Oratory Choir we would sing this yearly.

Isabella Leonarda was a Religion of the Ursuline Order from the age of sixteen. She died in 1704 after eight-four years - an extraordinary age and talent. Putting to rest the lie that the Catholic Church oppressed women, it was through the Church that a holy artist such as Leonarda was able to put her talents to full use and the glory of God and the Blessed Mother.

A full biography can be read at Women's Sacred Music Project.

Pope Francis attends a prayer on the occasion of the World Day of Care for Creation in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2015 - AP

05/02/2016 17:00

SHARE:

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis is asking people around the world to pray during the month of February for an increase of attention to and care for our common home. The Holy Father is making the request through his new video initiative in cooperation with the Jesuit-operated Apostleship of Prayer. Below, please fin the full text of the Holy Father's Message, which you can view at thepopevideo.org/.

*************************************************************

Believers and unbelievers agree that the earth is our common heritage, the fruits of which should benefit everyone.

However, what is happening in the world we live in?

The relationship between poverty and the fragility of the planet requires another way of managing the economy and measuring progress, conceiving a new way of living.

Because we need a change that unites us all.

Free from the slavery of consumerism.

This month I make a special request:

That we may take good care of creation–a gift freely given–cultivating and protecting it for future generations.

Caring for our common home.
