“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.” ― St. Antony the Great
“When the concrete circumstances of a divorced and remarried
couple make feasible a pathway of faith, they can be asked to take on the
challenge of living in continence. Amoris Laetitia does not ignore the
difficulty of this option, and leaves open the possibility of admission to the
Sacrament of Reconciliation when this option is lacking.”
“In other, more complex circumstances, and when it has not
been possible to obtain a declaration of nullity, this option may not be practicable.
But it still may be possible to undertake a path of discernment under the
guidance of a pastor, which results in a recognition that, in a particular
case, there are limitations which attenuate responsibility and guilt –
particularly where a person believes they would fall into a worse error, and
harm the children of the new union.”
Perhaps some of our readers saw this picture last evening surface on Twitter. It is of Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider speaking before a packed room in Rome's Centro Lepanto.
You can bet that it was all over Rome, that which was discussed, before those thugs, minions and hangers at the Vatican settled down for a rub down at one of Rome's more particular establishments with their gaystapo boytoys.because they sure weren't praying their Office or doing a Holy Hour! Why, you ask? Because if they did these things, they would not do what they do. Courtesy of LifeSiteNews, here are the key quotes:
“When Christ preached 2,000 years ago, the culture and
reigning spirit were radically opposed to Him. Concretely religious syncretism
ruled, also Gnosticism among the intelligent leaders, as well as permissibilism
among the masses — especially regarding the institution of matrimony. […] The
sole purpose of the Son of God was to reveal the truth to the world.”
“The formulation of dubia, as the Cardinals here have
expressed in their own terms, has been a common practice in the Church,” he
explained. “We need to be able to ask questions openly without being afraid of
repressions.”
“The reaction to the dubia is a proof of the climate in
which we actually live in the Church right now,” Bishop Schneider said. “We
live in a climate of threats and of denial of dialogue towards a specific
group.”
“dialogue seems to be accepted only if you think like
everyone else - that is practically like a regime.”
+Schneider brought up his experience in Russia, where he was
born in the time of the Soviet Union. His parents were sent by Stalin to work
camps, or “Gulags,” after the Second World War. “If you didn’t follow the line
of the party, or you questioned it, you couldn’t even ask. That is for me a
very clear parallel to what is happening now in the reactions to the dubia —
questions — of the Cardinals.”
“This is a very sad experience especially since everybody is
speaking about a ‘dialogue of culture’ after the Second Vatican Council. While
bishops openly teach heresies and nothing happens to them, that is truly a
grave injustice and very sad,” Bishop Schneider added.
Cardinal Burke is quoted:
Cardinal Burke has said a “formal correction”
might be in order to resolve the situation of uncertainty. “In the language of
moral theology, fraternal correction is an act of love — if it is given in
obedience and with reason,” Schneider commented. “We have to return to this
familiar way of dealing with it.”
As I wrote yesterday, they are "mad" in the sense of angry and deranged that we will not stop exposing the lies and manipulations that began at the first Synod, continued into the second and continue today. The deal breaker for these Cardinals, in my view. was when Bergoglio confirmed the heretical statement by the Bishops of Buenos Aires compounded by those of the Vicar of Rome. Bergoglio cannot hide from this. He must answer the dubia which will either nullify his attempts to change Divine Law on Holy Communion or expose himself as a heretic. That's it friends, there's just no other way around it. Make a mess, indeed.
Some of those close to Pope Bergoglio have defended him against the dubia of the four Cardinals. They have turned the tables, so to speak, to appear that the Cardinals are in the wrong and have no basis to ask the questions and expect an answer.
Pope Bergoglio, by his silence, is creating for himself, and the Church, a grave crisis, perhaps Her gravest ever. The Cardinals have asked straight-forward questions that actually put Bergoglio in a corner. If he answers "no" then his program will be exposed as heretical and he will be compelled to withdraw it. If he answers "yes," then he will convict himself of making heretical statements. These are facts, they cannot be argued with.
The Cardinals, specifically, I should say, Cardinal Burke also opined that they would follow a course. You can be assured that before they even submitted the dubia to Bergoglio, they knew what they would be required to do and the risk that they were taking in making it public - an act totally justified in Scripture, I should add.

Various explanations have been
proposed of how a Pope can be removed from office if he commits the canonical
crime of heresy. The explanations seek to explain how the Pope can lose office
without being judged by any of his inferiors in the Church on earth. The
simplest and possibly the best explanation that has been offered is that the
Pope by pertinaciously maintaining heresy effectively removes himself from
office. However, all these explanations agree that a Pope who is juridically
guilty of heresy can and must be removed from office. There is no dispute among
Catholic theologians on this point – even among theologians like Bellarmine who
do not think that a Pope is in fact capable of being a heretic. It is to
be hoped that the correction of Pope Francis does not have to proceed this far,
and that he will either reject the heresies he has announced or resign his
office. Removing him from office against his will would require the election of
a new Pope, and would probably leave the Church with Francis as an anti-Pope
contesting the authority of the new Pope. If Francis refuses to renounce either
his heresy or his office, however, this situation will just have to be faced.
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.
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.
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!
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."
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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! http://infocatolica.com/?t=noticia&cod=27894
Vito
Pinto Mons. "The four cardinals who have written to Pope could lose their cardinalate"
Mons.
PÃo 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 annulmentConfidential
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."
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 ProtestantsSome
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.
