Pope Francis: No Good Dirty Bums Who Believe in Absolute Truth are Evildoers.

Pope Francis told reporters today that the many people in his church who assent to the substance of the Catechism are dirty rotten evil piggies who commit calumny.

It always floors me when ordained men who discredit Church teaching projectile vomit insults and slander and yet fail to see they are dirtying others with defamation and disinformation and doing evil.

Dumbfounding.

He also gave us a hint on when he will clear up the confusion he's sewn on Church teaching:

I would say not to think about whether it’s lawful or not to heal on the Sabbath, I would say to humanity: ‘make justice,’ and when all are cured, when there is no more injustice, we can talk about the Sabbath

When he's done feeding the stomachs of the entire population of the world when everyone is making love not war.

I think that's around the same time my youngest is set to clean her room.

In other words, he'll take on the role of converting pagans when the dirty little piggies in his church start flying.

Brutal!

Blessed Advent to all!

Father Lombardi Retiring

You won't see me shedding a tear over  Fr. Lombardi's retirement ,but with the other fruitcake acting as Pope Francis communication wingman, I think the chances our Vatican Press Office is going to start sounding like Elton John are more likely than not.

What traits to look for in a seminarian during the papacy of Pope Francis?

I'm sure you've all read by now that Pope Francis conveyed to his see, once again, that seminarians devoted to the Divinity of Christ who flat out refuse to entertain or teach heresy are to be weeded out.

Those of us old enough to remember the demoralization and sissification of the seminaries in the 60's and 70's are very familiar with this rhetoric.

Back in those days,  most candidates admitted were loosey-goosey sexually-active men.  Men who were afraid of the Rosary and Eucharistic Adoration, undermined and poo poo-ed Church teaching.

Some seminaries were as sexually active as a Nevada brothel.  They would approach and sexually harass heterosexual men who would then complain to administration.   This headache was dealt with by refusing celibate, prayerful and devout men to seminaries.

Mundelein seminary was so replete with overt homosexual sex, it earned the nickname 'fundelin'.    Numerous seminarians were raped and sexually abused in this sick and hostile environment.

Normal, well-balanced healthy heterosexual men wanted to be around this perverted conduct about as much as they wanted to be around ISIS beheading Christians.  Some held their nose and flew under the radar because they wanted to be a priest so badly.   A great number of men who wanted to be priests were dispossessed of their vocation.

The papacy of St. John Paul II cleaned it all up.

I'd say it was almost 100% reversed.

But from the sounds of it, Pope Francis wants seminaries returned to the glory days of candidates who reject Church teaching.

That worked out really well for them.

Church Remedies When Pope is as Mad as a Hatter.

This is a very interesting article on Restoring Catholicism (similar name to Janet Baker's blog) on Church history in times when a Pope is leading Catholics into heresy and sin.

 Most of us have never had the misfortune of being in a situation that required knowledge or even curiosity about the topic.  While we are all waiting for the papal synodal shoe to drop, the process for the removal a Pope has very quietly (and reluctantly) been a topic of discussion in Our Lady's cavern--i.e.- how his see would go about that tragic process.

Some of my questions were answered in the article.  It doesn't hurt to process the worst case scenario.

Pope Francis' peculiar conversation about lutherans having access to the Sacraments of the Catholic Church got some good coverage at Fr. Z's here and here, and some fun here.

It could be the Pope's thoughts were to convey to the woman that the Lord may be calling her to conversion, I don't know.  Like everything else he's intended to convey, what he did say is scandalous because it left that woman and the world the impression it's open season for the Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

Several things in this exchange stuck out like a sore thumb.

Think about this exchange for a minute.

A samaritan woman approaches the highest ranking teacher in the Catholic Church and asks him to answer her question.

He tells her he is not the teacher, she is, and to go figure it out herself.

This is quite a loaded gun.

He seemed to be saying he doesn't have the authority to make judgments about the infallible teachings of the Church and teach them.

There's a deposit of faith and the hierarchy charged with making judgments.  He's the man.

Furthermore, this completely contradicts the abuse of authority he's suggested he has to issue the an edict to obstruct and contradict Church teaching on sins against the Sixth Commandment and salvation.

Frankly, there is still a shred of hope that the Pope will affirm Church teaching and I'm still holding onto it under the aphorism that nothing is impossible with God.

Christmas? Bah Humbug!

I'm sure you've all read that Pope Francis announced that the Incarnation of Christ is a charade.

Because of the existence of evil and murderers, the miracle of Christ's Holy Birth is a farce to the Pope.

The Incarnation of God is a farce because Herod murders.

Is that not unbelievable?

The Holy Father does not comprehend the meaning of John 1:5:   The light shines in the darkness and the darkness could not overcome it.

On Obedience to Priest, Bishop, Cardinal, Pope Suggesting Unfaithfulness to God

Our friend Janet has an outstanding reflection on right judgment when a priest, bishop, Cardinal - and yes even Pope - is teaching disobedience to God.

Until this Pope took the helm of the ship, I never realized how precious the gift of right judgment is and how lost people are without it.

Some people can't seem to -- I'm guessing because they don't want to -- make the distinction between the people accountable for teaching the practice of the law and the law itself and what fidelity to God is when a priest, bishop, Cardinal or Pope is teaching contradictions to the Ten Commandments.

Janet's common-sense post is a good read for the confused.

One knows exactly the buffoonery he's talking about.

From the brilliant mind of a good shepherd...

FROM THE PASTOR

November 15, 2015

by Fr. George W. Rutler

Since Arturo Toscanini lived to be nearly 90, dying in the Bronx, I was able as a boy to watch an orchestra conducted by the man who led the premiere of Pagliacci in 1892. In operas like that and Otello, divas never have a better chance to hit a high E-flat than when they are being strangled or stabbed. It is said that Pope Benedict XV’s last words in 1922 were the same as in Leoncavallos’ opera after Nedda and her lover Silvio are slain: “La commedia è finita!” Lest one think that the pope’s domestic life was unruly, the line was first used at the end of Haydn’s more decorous opera, Il Mondo della Luna. Anti-Catholic polemicists, whose less than rudimentary Italian imputes cynicism to the pope, infer from this that his reign and the papacy itself were a farce. If the pope did say what was claimed, he spoke of “commedia” as did Dante: the drama of the pope’s life was ending, and he had fulfilled the work assigned him. It was a happy ending, though the world around him had passed through a terrible sadness of war.

Aristotle’s concept of happiness as the goal of life is different from run-of-the-mill notions of feeling satisfied. His eudaimonia is the serenity that comes from a virtuous life lived with balance and dignity. The Oxford professor of rhetoric and logic, Richard Whately, a mentor of John Henry Newman, summed this up in the line often mocked by those who lack subtlety: “Happiness is no laughing matter.”

There are different kinds of laughter, and another professor, Ronald Berk (biostatician emeritus of Johns Hopkins University), has categorized them: snicker, giggle, chuckle, chortle, laugh, cackle, guffaw, howl, shriek, roar and convulsion. You can see how they gradually degenerate from Aristotelian serenity. One must be suspicious of the media cynosure, rampant in politics and such, who laughs habitually, with the same pose and bluster. I do not mean the mad man who laughs at what is not funny, but the calculator who laughs for effect: sometimes out of insecurity and often to ingratiate and manipulate, a clown outside and a cad inside. It is the sardonic impulse of one who does not want the people on deck to see the looming iceberg, or who cajoles you into buying the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Lady of Lourdes told Saint Bernadette: “I promise you happiness not in this world, but in the other.” The Lady did not laugh, but bestowed on Bernadette a smile that she keeps today in realms above. And the Lady’s son is not recorded as guffawing (although his amiable fraternity was like none other), but he came that our joy might be full. “These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress; but have confidence, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Cardinal O'Malley Commemorates the 500 Year Anniversary of Luther's Stampede Out of Christ's Church - A halloweenie treat!

Evidently, it is not obvious to the leadership in the Archdiocese of Boston that Catholics would not participate in an anniversary celebrating 500 years of the separation of millions of souls from the Sacraments of salvation.


Allow me, by way of example, to demonstrate the foolishness of 'commemorating' an 'anniversary' of a tragic event in the life of the Church:

When Monsignor Krzysztof Charamsa stood in St. Peter's Square with his boyfriend to denounce Church teaching on the Divinely-ordered use of human sexuality and encouraged his colleagues to do the same, this was a tragedy for him, all those watching whom he spiritually misled and scandalized and the Catholic Church.

One would not accept an invitation from Krzysztof Charamsa to celebrate the first anniversary of his separation from the Church by announcing your intention to go because you hope for his communion.

Get it?

It's the wrong time and the wrong place.

We have no business celebrating the substance.    It was a day this man threw his salvation into a toilet and flushed it.

Here's another example:

We would decline an invitation to celebrate the day marijuana was decriminalized.    If a bishop showed up at such an event under the guise he was going to teach about the usefulness of plants and the duty of humans to care for them, most of us could figure out the real reason why he was there:  He is encouraging the use of smoking dope.

Is there such a thing as a theologian with common sense in our Chanceries who would give counsel to the ignorant when such a suggestion is made?

Is there anyone there who says "Now wait a minute here. Let's think this through."?

Rebuttal to movie "spotlight": Sins of the Press

Several weeks back, the Boston Globe and a handful of folks in the Chancery were all in atwitter-and-atwatter about the movie 'spotlight' which was marketed as 'a true story' of the Boston Globe 'investigation' into the sexually active ephebophiles in the 1960s and 70s.

I haven't seen the movie, nor do I know anyone who has, but I'm skeptical they honestly reported the genesis of the investigation was Richard McBrien, Walter Cuenin and a group of priests and lay people interested in overthrowing the structure of the Roman Catholic Church with a blueprint that is oddly identical to that of Pope Francis.

Cardinal O'Malley issued a statement that he couldn't wait to rush to the theater to see a movie about catastrophic corruption in the Church. Rather peculiar for a man who expressed his disinterest in the movie The Passion of the Christ.

Funny how he doesn't respond to our letters documenting spiritual abuse but will rush out to see a movie about how ignoring complaints once took a big chunk out of their backsides.

Aside from journalists, Cardinal O'Malley and a few handful of seniors from 'voice of the faithful', I couldn't imagine who would be interested in playing audience to another round of flogging the Corpus of Christ. After ten thousand apologies and eight years, malcontents continued to advance with malice and vengeance. Eventually, everyone realized these people had an antiCatholic agenda.

Most people eventually came to realize priests were being maliciously targeted. Many knew falsely-accused priests and saw their horrific treatment. We all watched as every vulture with a heretical agendas surfaced to advance their causes.

Dave Pierre did an excellent job in putting the history together in a book called Sins of the Press which I highly recommend. The book is being sold on Amazon. It's a great rebuttal.

The movie Spotlight was released on November 6th. It has piddled, grossing only $295 thousand opening week. As a comparison, Jurrasic World grossed $524.5 million opening week.

It appears to have broken a record for the lowest grossing movie in film history, beating "The BIG Balloon Adventure" which grossed $444 thousand in its opening week.

Not on the radar of the people in the pews.

Pope Francis Again Accuses Church Teaching of Error

I was with some dear friends this weekend, people I dearly love, who were using Pope Francis words and actions to justify the sin of adultery and discredit the deposit of faith.

These are people who feel very comfortable expressing their conflicts in the knowledge that I love them and they me. Some of us friends since grammar school.

We have discussions on faith almost each time we meet. I usually just lay out logic of Church teaching as best I can and hope those seeds some day plant.

They are of course intercepted by priests, bishops, Cardinals and now Pope, who prevent those seeds from taking root.

While spending time with these precious friends, I was reminded, once again, of the catastrophic damage Pope Francis is doing to the Church and family every time he opens his mouth and proclaims his belief that Church teaching is a false teaching of some "real" Christ he has invented in his head.

I have watched the Holy Father's words and actions gnawing on their trust and confidence in Church teaching like a rat gnawing on a big piece of cheese.

Ever undermining, ridiculing, slandering the fiat that draws the soul into Sanctifying Grace and salvation.

He did it again over the last few days.

John Allen summarizes the Pope's 'vision' that Church teaching must change and reject using Church teaching and the Sacraments to control impulses to sin. Loosen up the rigidity of resisting sin. Join the club and commit adultery every once in a while. Encourage others to sin. Because Jesus died for everyone.

This homily stinks to the high heavens of the protestant heresy that Christ's Sacrifice on the Cross purchased salvation and we are therefore free to shed inhibitions and prohibitions against sin.

I drove home from my gathering of friends thinking about his habitual deception, ie that he has come to save us all from Church teaching that has led people astray for 2000 years. Taking an inventory of people I love who are being deceived by him, the damage it is doing to them and perhaps generations ahead.

My disgust deepens with each encounter and confirmation of the damage of his deception.

Elton John, the longtime advocate of caricaturing the sin of adultery as virtue in the public square, said Pope Francis is an ally in the culture of death and encouraged him to keep on doing what he is doing:

On BBC Radio 4’s flagship Today programme the musician said he considered Pope Francis an “ally” against conservative bishops in Africa in his views on same-sex relationships.

“My sly bet is yes he is. He’s just had the [synod] in Rome and I think he’s fighting an uphill battle against the African cardinals and bishops.”

Elton John said his message to the Pope was: “Keep going, keep pushing it. Change is very hard, especially in the Catholic Church, you don’t get things done immediately, you’re not going to persuade people, just keep going and keep going and eventually the wall will fall. I think he’s on our side.”

If he isn't on your 'side' he might as well be.

As Elton explains, they are not in a hurry. If the Holy Father publishes an edict out to obstruct Church teaching in catechesis and contradict it in practice, they will effectively rob our people of the temporal goods of the Church. After a generation or two, the Body of Christ will be drawing its last breath. In It's place will be the hare krishnas dancing in the sanctuary and the instincts to resist sin almost completely overcome.

Oh wait, they have already accomplished it!

The disservice the Holy Father is doing to Christ's Church cannot be calculated. He has made Truth an enemy of the people he was ordained to lead to It. He's pulled the rug out from the underneath It's efficacy and beauty.

We must continue to confidently and very loudly express that there will be no opening to his changes in the family and as soon as he issues his long-awaited declaration, he will be rubber stamped as anathema.

His rude awakening will be a change he can take to his corrupt bank.

Cardinal Dolan on the "Starbucks" Controversy

I have not followed the Starbucks 'cup' controversy. Whether it is or isn't an attempt to offend Christians is irrelevant as they have been doing so, quite publicly, for a long, long time. Starbucks goes out of their way to market their antiChristian culture in the public square.

It's ok with them to add the murdering of babies and selling of their parts to their list of 'charities'.

They have formally announced that no Christian should cross their threshold.

They felt comfortable enough in all the hating of Christians in the public square to confidently announce that if we believe in Christ's purpose for human sexuality, they do not want us in their establishment.

Their overpriced coffee takes like dirt. They have to load sugar, syrup and whipped cream in their drinks to overcome the rancid taste.

Join the rest of Christendom and find another merchant.

We could put them out of business.

And we should.

Of course these days, every moment of sanity in the asylum is breached by the shriek of a mad man.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan sent a message Tuesday to Christians up in arms over the Starbucks red cups — chill out.

He said he doesn't want to be viewed as a crabbing naysayer.

This is a man whose vocation is supposed to be saving souls who when told about a person making a choice that cost him his salvation said "bravo, good for him".

The apostolic see is filled to the rafters with imbeciles. It is insufferable!

Fr. Robbins' Laundry List of Excuses for the Breaking of Second Commandment in Sanctuary of Our Saviour

Did you read this slick attempt to divest himself of accountability?


Does he really think this pathetic laundry list helped his reputation?

~A Peace and Justice Cardinal was overseeing the abomination - Fr. Robbins gave permission and then flew the coop.

As if there was anyone with half a brain who would trust the judgment of the tinkerbells on the 'peace and justice commission'. That's like saying a Cardinal from the Episcopal Liturgical Dance Club thought it was a good idea.

~It was originally scheduled in a protestant church but had to be moved to where corrupt things can be done safely.

I'm guessing somebody from the other church stood up and said get the bleep out of here before I throw you out?

~It was a private showing.

It's on the internet.

~Saint John Paul II did stupid stuff so it's ok.

Saint John Paul II left a flawless, rocking Deposit of Faith - on every subject. You are not him and you knew right from wrong when you removed the Blessed Sacrament.

And these two whoppers:

~He knew what was taking place was so evil, he removed the Blessed Sacrament from the Sanctuary.

~It would be a mistake to single out parts without reference to the whole.

We are referencing a hole all right.

We don't care about your stinking money. We are upset about the criminals robbing our children of their salvation.

"I know that many of you are upset by reports the past several days about confidential documents of the Holy See that were stolen and published," he told people gathered in St Peter's Square for the noontime Angelus.

The reference was to two new books released last week that contain papers that one or more Vatican employees illegally took and gave to journalists.

"So I'd like to tell you, first of all, that stealing those documents is a crime. It is a deplorable act that is not helpful," he said.

He thinks we are upset about people who steal papers?

If the crooks in the Vatican took every last paper, asset and in fact every last nickel, it would be of zero interest to Catholic parents.

Talk about a screwed up set of priorities.

They are all about making sure their money is protected from the psychopaths and sociopaths they ordained.

I have yet to see him raise an eyebrow at the thieves robbing the people we love of their salvation.

In fact, its just the opposite. He's called in the expert crooks to help advance their causes.

Commission of Sin Against First Commandment in Sanctuary of Our Saviour Parish in NY

Former parishioners of Fr. Rutler at Our Saviour Parish in Manhattan are reporting more spiritual misfeasance from new 'pastor' Fr. Robbins.


Earlier this Summer, Fr. Robbins destroyed magnificent and historic icons in the Sanctuary.

Recently, Fr. Robbins invited the "hare krishnas" to come before the throne of the Living God and perform a ritual worshiping a false god.


Video of disturbing incident at Fr. Z's.

That is absolutely, without question, a sin against the First Commandment.

What will the pastor think of next?

Lessons on fellatio in front of the Blessed Sacrament?

Look at the handful of village idiots who sat catatonic and watched it happen.

Are you kidding me?

Catholics Who Teach Their Families Right Judgment on the Ten Commandments (and ask the Pope to affirm Church teaching) Receive Another Slanderous Insult from Pope Francis

We are all pharaohs who don't care about the poor.

Pharaoahs, who lied and deceived, obstructed their people from the tools of salvation and enslaved them.

Practicing Catholics are getting sick and tired of slanderous character assassinations.

Several years back, I joined Facebook to network with Catholic prolife activists.

Facebook is not for the faint-of-heart for a variety of reasons. In spite of some inappropriate use and conduct, it is an excellent news source for local, national and international stories that affect Catholics. You learn of news stories within minutes of occurrence, fabulous Op Eds cross your news feed, unnerving first-hand news about the ethnic cleansing of Christians by the muslims, magnificent treasures of saints, mystics and artists - etc.

I took a passive role in 'friending', basically building my network by accepting friend requests. I have an impressive list of really smart Catholics and Christians.

It has been a most interesting adventure during this papacy.

Until last year's synod, most Catholics (including me) took a very careful approach to the skullduggery coming out of Pope Francis papacy, always giving him the benefit of the doubt. During last year's Synod and its Relatio, the Holy Father's intentions were revealed. Though incontrovertible, in the face of overwhelming evidence, some well-respected Catholics continued to make a case that children and families were not being victimized by the promotion of heresy.

These denials are not unlike the shoot-the-messenger conduct experienced when the bishops were ordaining and protecting homosexual ephebophiles.

Others (like our friends at Church Militant) have reservations because there are many spiritual dangers in holding a Pope accountable as the architect of the corruption.

I've watched people gradually but eventually wave the white flag as the evidence mounted.

One such gentleman, as these stories surfaced, a solid Catholic father, linked to them earlier this week and said with exasperation 'it is getting harder and harder to defend or even like this Pope'. Another light dawns on marblehead.

I have about a hundred stories of solid Catholic families who had somehow managed to navigate their children through the sea of heretical priests whose children now believe Francis has freed the Church from the truths in the Catechism. I won't elaborate upon them, but suffice it to say I know of none who have made it out of this papacy without a serious threat to their children's salvation.

What rational human being alive would 'like' a person hurting their family? The challenge of the situation is forcing yourself to pray for such individuals. And prayer is very much needed.

Shortly after the synod was over, I saw a picture of the Pope Baptizing a child of a 'friend' of his from Argentina - 50-ish old man with his second wife, a 27-year-old. The old man, clearly in the throws of a 'mid-life crisis', showed up to this Sacred Sacrament at our Vatican wearing a t-shirt with writing on it and a crazy-assed teenager hairdo. I couldn't help thinking this is the reason why the Holy Father was so invested in second marriages. The two teenage boys the man daddy-dumped were not present.

I learned today that Pope Francis placed another 'friend' over his see in Belgium, this effeminate-looking creature who has been a cheerleader for sex for priests and ordaining women.

Just the kind of fox a fellow in charge of the safety of chickadees would want in a henhouse.

I would have hired a private detective and confiscated his computer for forensics.

Pope Francis hand-picked his team and worked diligently with them to produce his product. He sent his couriers out to run the heresy flag up the flagpole. Not enough people saluted to feel comfortable taking ownership.

He has been able to slavishly build an edifice that obstructs the Deposit of Faith while simultaneously maintaining his innocence and claiming he is the victim of wild conspiracy theories from the enemies of Christ's Church. He distanced himself from his own creation to create a golden parachute in case it backfired. And backfired it has.

The fact that he's created a golden parachute tells us he is sitting on the fence.

But he's got to write the ending and put his name on it.

He is in the final squeezola. Between his clean hands certification and slander and the do-or-die issuance his official directive that priests quash and undermine Church teaching.


Another must read is Russ Douthat's Catholicsm For the Time Being.

Of course my critics, the supporters of what now appears to be Pope Francis’s clear agenda on second marriages and the sacraments, would retort that they aren’t the ones throwing lines like “welcome to the battlefield” back at their fellow Catholics; indeed, their whole (public) pitch is that the changes to the church’s marriage discipline that they support right now are just another form of muddling through, and that it’s only conservative hysterics (a group that includes an awful lot of bishops, cardinals and theologians, but I digress) who see some kind of radical discontinuity here, some sort of doctrine-shaking alteration, rather than a modest pastoral tweak.

IMHO, the Pope's real problem isn't the large lot of bishops, cardinals, theologians, its the millions of Catholic parents and grandparents whose trust and confidence he will never win back.

And it doesn't have anything to do with what he did or didn't do, said or didn't say in his ferocious battle for the soul of the Church.

It's because of what our children say after they listen to him. The undoing of 32 years of Catechesis, in spite of being surrounded by heretics.

His finger is on the pistol. If he pulls the trigger, he's waged war against the hand that rocks the cradle. We will do everything we have to do to pull the rug right out from underneath him.

I can guarantee one thing: When he sees what he has brought upon himself and turns around to ask for help from the sissies he's surrounded himself with, they will be nowhere in sight.

Media Alert: Pope Francis arresting whistleblowers, not corrupt criminals

The speed with which whistleblowers were investigated and arrested contrasts with the glacial pace at which Vatican reforms take place and the mild punishments meted out to those accused of economic irresponsibility. The incident seems to suggest a pattern in which the church is more interested in punishing those who breach confidentiality than those who are financially corrupt.

You don't say!

I wanted to point out the something in this story.

Look at how the Holy Father's self-aggrandizing is portraying faithful Catholics as enemies of Christ's Church.

What nerve we have taking an adverse position to having our children brainwashed and demoralized.

Pope Francis Exclusives with Scarfali

Today, Fr. Lombardi responded to the exclusive interview with Scarfali in which he said Pope Francis confirmed his exhortation would 'admit' divorced and remarried to Communion.

He said it is well-known that Scarfali distorts what he was told and is consequently not reliable.

Now it all makes perfect sense.

When Pope Francis has something important to say, he picks up the phone and dials the most unreliable journalist he knows.

Of course, after the synod press conferences with Rosica, we all found out Fr. Lombardi is not reliable.

And let's not even start on the Pope!

Might be time for a good exorcism in St. Peter's Square!

Russ Douthat's Letter to 'the Academy'

I referenced this letter in an earlier post today, but it's soooo good, it deserves its own post.

First, because if the church admits the remarried to communion without an annulment — while also instituting an expedited, no-fault process for getting an annulment, as the pope is poised to do — the ancient Catholic teaching that marriage is “indissoluble” would become an empty signifier.

Second, because changing the church’s teaching on marriage in this way would unweave the larger Catholic view of sexuality, sin and the sacraments — severing confession’s relationship to communion, and giving cohabitation, same-sex unions and polygamy entirely reasonable claims to be accepted by the church.

Now this is, as you note, merely a columnist’s opinion. So I have listened carefully when credentialed theologians make the liberalizing case. What I have heard are three main claims. The first is that the changes being debated would be merely “pastoral” rather than “doctrinal,” and that so long as the church continues to say that marriage is indissoluble, nothing revolutionary will have transpired.

But this seems rather like claiming that China has not, in fact, undergone a market revolution because it’s still governed by self-described Marxists. No: In politics and religion alike, a doctrine emptied in practice is actually emptied, whatever official rhetoric suggests.

BAM.

We are experts in the stunt Pope Francis is trying to pull.

At the end of this post observing the chaos and destruction, our friends at Rorate ask "Why, why is the Pope doing this?"

We'll probably never know.

He seems to believe surrounding our families with effeminate priests and bishops spewing heresy is more clever than the catechetical practices of 2000 years of pope's before him.


All you can do is explain Catholic theology, show them their rotten fruit and ask them to stop. Just like we did when they did it in our schools, parishes, apostolates, at the Chancery and USCCB when they destroyed tens of millions of souls.

I couldn't count the number of times I did it. Maybe 1000. Out of all those times, only a few dozen or so ordained men approached the conversation because they were executing a stupid idea in good faith and wanted to know the truth.

The others respond with insults and slander and continue on their course.

Pope Francis appears to be the latter.

Scalfari revealed today that Pope Francis has told him his 'exhortation' will make claim that unrepentant adulterers are admitted to Communion.

Bishop Chaput Says it was Hopeful to Hear What So Many Heretics Were Teaching Their See!

Nothing going on here folks. Move along.

Differences among the synod fathers - including serious differences on serious matters - are part of the natural flow of discussion.

Observing bishops explain the heresy they teach to souls entrusted to their care is no more 'natural' than watching a mother put her children in her car and drive them off of a cliff.

It is supernatural and demonic, painful and stomach-turning.

He's talking like they watched it with a cigar between their teeth and a glass of Dewers in their hand.

deeply reassuring thing to see it alive in the intelligence and dedication of bishops from around the world gathered as brothers in one place.

There is nothing more reassuring than the intelligence and dedication of bishops diffusing the smoke of satan, that's what I always say.

This is a bit like that infamous letter Cardinal Law wrote to Paul Shanley about all the good things that came out of his priesthood.

I get the feeling Bishop Chaput doesn't have the faintest idea there are millions of victims of the wolves who watched a synod enable and applaud the 'brothers' he seems so entertained by.

It's all about the brotherhood to them.

Always has been. Always will be.

We should cultivate that peace in our hearts. We need to trust in God's Word, and we need to pray for and trust the Holy Father.

I also get the feeling he has no idea what has transpired with this pontificate.

Pope Francis is teaching our well-catechized children to dismiss the Deposit of Faith as irrelevant to their salvation.

The chances of practicing Catholic families 'trusting' Pope Francis are slim. We have been forced to tell our children not to trust him. They are not heeding this advice in most cases. The Holy Father has deprogrammed their souls better than any demon that has threatened the family in our lifetime.

I cannot think of a single person, not one, in the history of Christendom that has done more damage to the salvation of souls. Even Luther. He has destroyed the credibility of the tools for salvation, perhaps irreparably in some cases. Made it irrelevant to judgment on right and wrong, sin and virtue.

He's made a hero of himself by flinging dung on the Deposit of Faith. I can't see how a faithful Pope could ever undo the catastrophic damage we are experiencing to the minds and souls of the people we love.

Bruce Jenner stands a better chance of Catholic families peacefully entrusting the souls of their children to his ideas. At times, it's been hard to tell their ideology apart.

Russ Douthat rebounded back this week, saying he welcomes the war waged against him and his family, even as the Pope makes clear he has joined the forces of the culture of death. Russ's letter to the Catholic Academy is a must read for anyone who has had the misfortune of encountering the fruit of these idiots.

It certainly isn't a new war. Only a new territory.

Maybe they expected we would let them liquor up our children without fighting the current occupant in our Chair of Peter. I truly believe they thought we would let them pervert our children for sake of togetherness. We'do it for the Gipper.

It will be recorded as the most incomprehensible tactical error in the history of Christendom. It would be wise for Bishop Chaput to knock off the sweet-talk to surrender our children peacefully to the deceivers.

Give it a rest.

I can only see one way to reverse their hocus pocus with Church teaching.

If the Holy Father produced an apostolic exhortation that discredits his own synod and with flawless theology leads the people we love back to living every day in a state of Sanctifying Grace. Perhaps then he would stand a chance of avoiding the catastrophic alienation he has foisted upon his own papacy in the family.

I think the chances he spent two years surrounding our families with heretics to discredit the deposit of faith only to publish an apostolic exhortation saying all of his appointments are suffering from ghastly, morbid theological maladies that are lethal to the soul, is about as likely as hitting a million dollar scratch ticket.

Even if he does, I still don't think he will ever earn our trust. One never trusts a person who has ransacked your home and taken your most precious treasures. Even if that person attempts to return them.

Every time 'the brothers' assemble, I am reminded of Fr. Wilson's description of an episcopal conference in action:

Watching the bishops’ conference in action is like viewing the film of a train wreck over and over again. With bright-colored clowns hanging out the train windows, waving and blowing kisses. One only wishes one had a tomato.



And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.
