Truly Frightening To Behold the Willing Refusal To Accept the Truth

As one who will be sixty-three and one-half years of age in eleven days, I find that there are few things about events in the counterfeit church of conciliarism or in the Judeo-Calvinist-Masonic world of naturalism in which the farce of current events is enacted to entertain and agitate the masses that can shock or surprise me.

I, for one, no longer find it necessary to make any comment on the “humble” Argentine Apostate’s almost daily reaffirmation of unrepentant sinners in their lives of perdition by claiming to be an “apostle of mercy,” thereby making it appear as though the “no church” before the “Second” Vatican Council was not being “merciful” or “loving” by insisting that sinners reform their lives and live in accord with the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law. What is the point of any further commentary on these daily barrage of bilge from the potty-mouth of a blaspheming heretic whose religious syncretism is well-known and very well-documented at this point? The seven-part series written in late-2013 about Bergoglio’s “mission statement,” Evangelii Gaudium, November 25, 2013, has covered this matter pretty widely, although there have been some occasions to hammer home those points at various times. (See Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part one, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part two, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part three, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part four, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part five, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part six and Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part seven. Another few articles have addressed the same subject in light of last year’s “extraordinary synod of bishops”: Jorge Builds A Coalition In Support of Evil, Heresy Leads to Heresy, , Puzzled?, Still Puzzled?, , "The Church That Flowed From The 'Second' Vatican Council and )

The following summary of the meaning of Jorge’s “mercy” and “love” was provided in Welcome to Jorge's Brave New World at 1984 Mockingbird Lane two months ago now:

Far from being an exemplar of “mercy,” Jorge Mario Bergoglio is actually sending souls to Hell by reaffirming them in false beliefs and/or horrifically sinful lives. His “Jubilee Year of Mercy” will include accepting anyone approaching with their paws outstretched for what is purported to be Holy Communion in the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service no matter what they are doing or what they believe.

Practice contraception?

Welcome to Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s “No Judgment Zone.”

Divorced and civilly “remarried” without a conciliar decree of nullity.

Welcome to Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s “Church of Accommodation.”

Engaged in sins of unnatural vice in violation of the Sixth and Ninth Commandments?

Welcome to Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s “Rainbow Coalition of Diversity.”

Are you “transgendered”?

Welcome to “Dr. Bergoglio’s Brave New Church,” which is located at 1984 Mockingbird Lane.

Are you a Jew or a Mohammedan or a “nonbeliever”?

Welcome to Jorge’s “Home Away From Home” for those who intend to “do good.”

Excluded from Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s “Jubilee Year of Mercy” are those who adhere to everything contained in the Sacred Deposit of Faith and who reject the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service as an abomination in the sight of God unless they undergo a “spiritual conversion,” at which point they might be admitted, however conditionally, to “Fidenzio Volpi’s Re-Education Detention Center for the Rigid and Pharisaical.”

Even though sarcasm has been employed in these descriptions, no one who has is possessed of something called intellectually honesty can  deny that they portray Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s wrecking ball of a “Petrine Ministry” with pinpoint accuracy.

Everything in Jorge Mario Bergoglio's world of revolutionary cliches and slogans is pretty much a variation on themes he developed very early in his false "pontificate" twenty-six months ago now, themes that were already wearingly familiar to those who had to endure his fifteen year tenure as the conciliar "archbishop" of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

There are occasions, however, when the rapidity by which Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s relentless effort to dismantle all of the last remaining bastions of anything remotely resembling Catholicism has worked to win allies in a world awash with hatred for Christ the King and His true Church does fill one with amazement. Bergoglio has already won the admiration and esteem of one pro-abortion, pro-perversity public official around the world, including, of course, Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro. Although it comes as little wonder that mass murder Raul Castro, the Communist President of Cuba and brother of that prison-nation’s mass murdering first Communist President, Fidel Castro, has great esteem for the Argentine Apostate, what is a little jaw-dropping is to read that Raul Castro is considering returning to what he thinks is the Catholic Church as a result of what Bergoglio has done thus far to dismantle the little of recognizable Catholicism that remains within his false religious sect that masquerades as the Catholic Church. This is but a eerie prelude to the work of the Antichrist himself as all false religions and naturalistic philosophies and ideologies are either obliterated by the use of force or amalgamated into the One World Church of Apostasy that will engage in the final battle with Christ the King and His true Catholic Church.

Here are two reports on Raul Castro’s “private” visit to Bergoglio at the Casa Santa Marta on Saturday, May 9, 2015, starting with the Vatican’s own propaganda website and followed by an excerpt of a report carried the next day, May 10, 2015, the Fifth Sunday after Easter and the Commemoration of Saint Antoninus, O.P., and the Commemoration of Saints Gordian and Epimachus:

 

2015-05-10 Vatican Radio

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis received the President of Cuba, Raul Castro, on Sunday morning in private audience at the Vatican. A note from the Director of the Press Office of the Holy See, Fr. Federico Lombardi, SJ, explains that Castro arrived at 9:30 AM, and stayed a little over an hour, during the course of which the Pope and the President spent considerable time in conversation in the Holy Father’s study inside the Paul VI Hall.

The meeting between the Pope and the President lasted over 50 minutes, and was very friendly. The President told reporters before leaving the Vatican that he had thanked the Holy Father for the active role he played in favor of improving relations between Cuba and the United States of America, and also presented to the Pope the sentiments of the Cuban people – sentiments of expectation and preparation for the Holy Father’s visit the island in September.

The note also reports a significant exchange of gifts: the President of Cuba gave the Pope a precious commemorative medal of the Cathedral of Havana, and a framed work of contemporary art, which depicts a large Ccross composed of the relics of wrecked barges, before which is present a migrant in prayer. The Cuban artist Kcho, who was present, told the Pope that he was inspired by Francis’ great commitment to bringing the plight of migrants and refugees to the attention of the wider world, especially through the Pope’s visit to the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa. The Pope gave the President a copy of his Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii gaudium, and a large medallion which represents St. Martin in the act of covering the poor with his cloak. The Pope noted that he was particularly happy to give this last gift, as it recalls not only the duty to help and protect the poor, but also actively to promote dignity. (Pope Francis receives Raul Castro at Vatican.)

ROME — President Raúl Castro of Cuba visited Pope Francis at the Vatican on Sunday, praising the Argentine pontiff for helping to broker last year’s diplomatic breakthrough between Cuba and the United States while declaring that Francis had inspired him to consider returning to the Roman Catholic Church.

Francis and Mr. Castro met privately for nearly an hour on Sunday morning, speaking in Spanish, before the Cuban leader left the Vatican to meet with the Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi. At a later news conference, Mr. Castro promised a warm welcome for Francis when he goes to Cuba in September before visiting the United States.

I promise to go to all his Masses, and with satisfaction,” Mr. Castro said during the televised news conference. “I read all the speeches of the pope, his commentaries, and if the pope continues this way, I will go back to praying and go back to the church. I’m not joking.” (Raúl Castro Meets With Pope Francis at Vatican.)

The “love-in” between a murderer of innocent human beings and the murderer of souls redeemed by the shedding of every single drop of the Most Precious Blood of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is, of course, unsurprising.  As noted in the reports above, Bergoglio was cited by both Obama/Soetoro and Raul Castro for playing a pivotal role in effecting “reconciliation” between a formally Communist nation, Cuba, and one that the current American caesar has sought to “transform” into a Communist nation in all but name, the United States of America (see Giving Aid and Comfort to Murderers, part one, and Giving Aid and Comfort to Murderers, part two.)

Bergoglio’s effort to build the One World Ecumenical Church must be premised on ignoring every single pronouncement made by a true general council of the Catholic Church and statements made by our true popes (or issued with their approval) that contradict his revolutionary agenda whether in part or in whole. This is why Bergoglio’s “outreach” to the Castro brothers flies in the face of the teaching of the Catholic Church.

Writing in Divini Redemptoris, which was issued on March 19, 1937, two days after he had issued his firm denunciation of Nazism, Mit Brennender Sorge, Pope Pius XI forbade Catholics to provide any kind of cooperation with Communism at any time for any reason:

See to it, Venerable Brethren, that the Faithful do not allow themselves to be deceived! Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever. Those who permit themselves to be deceived into lending their aid towards the triumph of Communism in their own country, will be the first to fall victims of their error. And the greater the antiquity and grandeur of the Christian civilization in the regions where Communism successfully penetrates, so much more devastating will be the hatred displayed by the godless. (Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris, March 19, 1937.)

This condemnation of any kind of cooperation with Communism was reinterred by the Holy Office on July 1, 1949, the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, under the pontificate of our last true pope, Pope Pius XII:

This Sacred Supreme Congregation has been asked:  

1. whether it is lawful to join Communist Parties or to favour them;
2. whether it is lawful to publish, disseminate, or read books, periodicals, newspapers or leaflets which support the teaching or action of Communists, or to write in them;
3. whether the faithful who knowingly and freely perform the acts specified in questions 1 and 2 may be admitted to the Sacraments;
4. whether the faithful who profess the materialistic and anti-Christian doctrine of the Communists, and particularly those who defend or propagate this doctrine, contract ipso facto excommunication specially reserved to the Apostolic See as apostates from the Catholic faith.

The Most Eminent and Most Reverend Fathers entrusted with the supervision of matters concerning the safeguarding of Faith and morals, having previously heard the opinion of the Reverend Lords Consultors, decreed in the plenary session held on Tuesday (instead of Wednesday), June 28, 1949, that the answers should be as follows:

To 1. in the negative: because Communism is materialistic and anti-Christian; and the leaders of the Communists, although they sometimes profess in words that they do not oppose religion, do in fact show themselves, both in their teaching and in their actions, to be the enemies of God, of the true religion and of the Church of Christ; to 2. in the negative: they are prohibited ipso iure (cf. Can. 1399 of the Codex Iuris Canonici); to 3. in the negative, in accordance with the ordinary principles concerning the refusal of the Sacraments to those who are not disposed; to 4. in the affirmative.

And the following Thursday, on the 30th day of the same month and year, Our Most Holy Lord Pius XII, Pope by the Divine Providence, in the ordinary audience, granted to the Most Eminent and Most Reverend Assessor of the Sacred Office, approved of the decision of the Most Eminent Fathers which had been reported to Him, and ordered the same to be promulgated officially in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis.

Given at Rome, on July 1st, 1949. (As found at Decree Against Communism.)

Jorge Mario Bergoglio does not even know that this decree exists, and he would not care about it came to learn about. After all, he has met some Marxists who are "good people." Atheists are, after all, able to save their souls by having an upright conscience, right? Wrong!

Indeed, although I do not know whether it is still the case, The Wanderer used to feature the following citation from the final fourteen words of the passage from Pope Pius XI's Quadragesimo Anno, May 15, 1931, next to its masthead in every issue:

We make this pronouncement: Whether considered as a doctrine, or an historical fact, or a movement, Socialism, if it remains truly Socialism, even after it has yielded to truth and justice on the points which we have mentioned, cannot be reconciled with the teachings of the Catholic Church because its concept of society itself is utterly foreign to Christian truth. . . .

120. If Socialism, like all errors, contains some truth (which, moreover, the Supreme Pontiffs have never denied), it is based nevertheless on a theory of human society peculiar to itself and irreconcilable with true Christianity. Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist. (Pope Pius XI, Quadragesimo Anno, May 15, 1931.)

Far from extending even false "mercy" to unrepentant Marxists, Jorge Mario Bergoglio has enabled and empowered political ideologues to continue to the point of their dying breath without ever hearing these words, contained in one of those "old," "closed-in-on-itself" encyclical letters that are never referred to by the conciliar "popes" or their "bishops":

27. There is over and above the absence of peace and the evils attendant on this absence, another deeper and more profound cause for present-day conditions. This cause was even beginning to show its head before the War and the terrible calamities consequent on that cataclysm should have proven a remedy for them if mankind had only taken the trouble to understand the real meaning of those terrible events. In the Holy Scriptures we read: "They that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed." (Isaias i, 28) No less well known are the words of the Divine Teacher, Jesus Christ, Who said: "Without me you can do nothing" (John xv, 5) and again, "He that gathereth not with me, scattereth." (Luke xi, 23)

28. These words of the Holy Bible have been fulfilled and are now at this very moment being fulfilled before our very eyes. Because men have forsaken God and Jesus Christ, they have sunk to the depths of evil. They waste their energies and consume their time and efforts in vain sterile attempts to find a remedy for these ills, but without even being successful in saving what little remains from the existing ruin. It was a quite general desire that both our laws and our governments should exist without recognizing God or Jesus Christ, on the theory that all authority comes from men, not from God. Because of such an assumption, these theorists fell very short of being able to bestow upon law not only those sanctions which it must possess but also that secure basis for the supreme criterion of justice which even a pagan philosopher like Cicero saw clearly could not be derived except from the divine law.

Authority itself lost its hold upon mankind, for it had lost that sound and unquestionable justification for its right to command on the one hand and to be obeyed on the other. Society, quite logically and inevitably, was shaken to its very depths and even threatened with destruction, since there was left to it no longer a stable foundation, everything having been reduced to a series of conflicts, to the domination of the majority, or to the supremacy of special interests.

29. Again, legislation was passed which did not recognize that either God or Jesus Christ had any rights over marriage -- an erroneous view which debased matrimony to the level of a mere civil contract, despite the fact that Jesus Himself had called it a "great sacrament" (Ephesians v, 32) [just a Droleskey aside here: Take that, Godfried Danneels] and had made it the holy and sanctifying symbol of that indissoluble union which binds Him to His Church. The high ideals and pure sentiments with which the Church has always surrounded the idea of the family, the germ of all social life, these were lowered, were unappreciated, or became confused in the minds of many. As a consequence, the correct ideals of family government, and with them those of family peace, were destroyed; the stability and unity of the family itself were menaced and undermined, and, worst of all, the very sanctuary of the home was more and more frequently profaned by acts of sinful lust and soul-destroying egotism -- all of which could not but result in poisoning and drying up the very sources of domestic and social life.

30. Added to all this, God and Jesus Christ, as well as His doctrines, were banished from the school. As a sad but inevitable consequence, the school became not only secular and non-religious but openly atheistical and anti-religious. In such circumstances it was easy to persuade poor ignorant children that neither God nor religion are of any importance as far as their daily lives are concerned. God's name, moreover, was scarcely ever mentioned in such schools unless it were perchance to blaspheme Him or to ridicule His Church. Thus, the school forcibly deprived of the right to teach anything about God or His law could not but fail in its efforts to really educate, that is, to lead children to the practice of virtue, for the school lacked the fundamental principles which underlie the possession of a knowledge of God and the means necessary to strengthen the will in its efforts toward good and in its avoidance of sin. Gone, too, was all possibility of ever laying a solid groundwork for peace, order, and prosperity, either in the family or in social relations. Thus the principles based on the spiritualistic philosophy of Christianity having been obscured or destroyed in the minds of many, a triumphant materialism served to prepare mankind for the propaganda of anarchy and of social hatred which was let loose on such a great scale.

31. Is it to be wondered at then that, with the widespread refusal to accept the principles of true Christian wisdom, the seeds of discord sown everywhere should find a kindly soil in which to grow and should come to fruit in that most tremendous struggle, the Great War, which unfortunately did not serve to lessen but increased, by its acts of violence and of bloodshed, the international and social animosities which already existed? (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)

Written in the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) at the end of the needless and unjust "Great War" or "Word War," whose centenary of commencement occurred just six days ago now, which was the last war of the Nineteenth Century fought in the second decade of the Twentieth Century with then modern means of mass murder (the machine gun, tank warfare, aerial bombardment, submarine attacks, gas warfare, the brutality of trench warfare) and whose start hastened the death of Pope Saint Pius X on August 20, 1914, as he saw the nations of formerly Catholic Europe fight each other so savagely for nothing other than nationalism and territorial supremacy, Pope Pius XI was calling Catholics to arms extended to pray for the restoration of the "Kingdom of God in the Peace of Christ." He called to put aside sectional and class envies and to restore Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to His rightful place as the King of all men and of their nations:

It is possible to sum up all We have said in one word, "the Kingdom of Christ." For Jesus Christ reigns over the minds of individuals by His teachings, in their hearts by His love, in each one's life by the living according to His law and the imitating of His example. Jesus reigns over the family when it, modeled after the holy ideals of the sacrament of matrimony instituted by Christ, maintains unspotted its true character of sanctuary. In such a sanctuary of love, parental authority is fashioned after the authority of God, the Father, from Whom, as a matter of fact, it originates and after which even it is named. (Ephesians iii, 15) The obedience of the children imitates that of the Divine Child of Nazareth, and the whole family life is inspired by the sacred ideals of the Holy Family. Finally, Jesus Christ reigns over society when men recognize and reverence the sovereignty of Christ, when they accept the divine origin and control over all social forces, a recognition which is the basis of the right to command for those in authority and of the duty to obey for those who are subjects, a duty which cannot but ennoble all who live up to its demands. Christ reigns where the position in society which He Himself has assigned to His Church is recognized, for He bestowed on the Church the status and the constitution of a society which, by reason of the perfect ends which it is called upon to attain, must be held to be supreme in its own sphere; He also made her the depository and interpreter of His divine teachings, and, by consequence, the teacher and guide of every other society whatsoever, not of course in the sense that she should abstract in the least from their authority, each in its own sphere supreme, but that she should really perfect their authority, just as divine grace perfects human nature, and should give to them the assistance necessary for men to attain their true final end, eternal happiness, and by that very fact make them the more deserving and certain promoters of their happiness here below.

It is, therefore, a fact which cannot be questioned that the true peace of Christ can only exist in the Kingdom of Christ -- "the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ." It is no less unquestionable that, in doing all we can to bring about the re-establishment of Christ's kingdom, we will be working most effectively toward a lasting world peace. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)

When was the last time you heard any conciliar "pope" speak in such a manner?

You have not.

Raul Castro would be “going back” to a false religious sect that has made its “official reconciliation” with the anti-Incarnational principles of Modernity. This suits him just fine. As was noted four days ago, even the morally degenerate, profligate expender of jet fuel used to transport him about the world to speak about the dangers of the “carbon footprint” and man-made global warning, former United States Vice President Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., remarked recently that he could become a Catholic “under this pope.”

What is truly frightening is not the news about all of this is that most Catholics in the world think that Jorge Mario Bergoglio is indeed “Pope Francis,” and most of those that remain in the pews of this false religious sect are as tickled pink as the few who remain within the Anglican sect are with their own “hierarchy’s” embrace of moral evils and pantheism. That’s what’s truly frightening about all of this.

No matter the significance of Bergoglio’s “outreach” to murderous tyrants and de facto tyrants in the world today—and it is very significant, of course, as it does indeed represent what Antichrist wants to be the sole representative of what is presented as “true” in the world, something that excludes infallible belief systems such as Communism, the linchpin of the counterfeit church’s work of building the One World Ecumenical Church has been and continues to be false ecumenism. This false ecumenism is designed by the adversary to obliterate all distinctions among religions in the name of “brotherhood” and “tolerance” and “diversity.” It is Judeo-Masonic in its origins, and it is the foundation of many of the so-called “lay movements” within the conciliar sect of apostasy, including the Neocatechumenal Way, which is nothing other than a Talmudic-back and heavily financed means to coopt conciliar “popes” and “bishops” into praising the false religious precepts of the contemporary successor of Judaism, which was superseded when Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ breathed His last breath on the wood of the Holy Cross, thereby consummating His Redemptive Act of paying back in His Sacred Humanity the debt of sin that was owed to Him in His Sacred Divinity as God.

Despite all of Jorge’s telling the cult-leader who heads the Neocatechumenal Way, Kirko Arguello, and his followers to “proclaim Christ" (see Bergoglio's address to this cult: Jorge Says Hey to Neocatechumenal Cult), the Argentine Apostate knows full well that the Neocatechumenal Way is all about seeking to find a way to bring about “communion between Judaism and Christianity,” which means forgetting about “little things” as the Incarnation and the Redemption. (For a very good dissection of the heresies of the Neocatechumenal Way, see Appendix A below.)

Indeed, the Neocatechumenal Cult, which some of its members and supporters call “The Way of the Wise,” boasted of seeking such a “communion” between Judaism and Christianity when issuing a press release on Saturday, May 9, 2015, following the conclusion of one of their meetings, which featured a “message” sent to them by “Pope Francis”:

On May 4-7, 2015, in the 50th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, as well as in the recognition of the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the Shoah, we have gathered in Galilee, in the State of Israel.  120 Rabbis coming from all over the world, 7 Cardinals, 25 Bishops and 50 Priests, met with initiators of the Neocatechumenal Way, Kiko Argüello, Carmen Hernandez, together with Fr. Mario Pezzi and some itinerants, to live together for three days in communion and love.

We have felt the presence of the Lord and we have been witnesses of a really impressive event that has left all the participants deeply moved.

Through this experience, we have understood that something profound is changing in the relations between Jews and Christians, and that truly, after Nostra Aetate, God is committed to open a way of communion between Judaism and the Catholic Church.

We were impressed by how, in the Neocatechumenal Way, faith is being transmitted to the children, families are being rebuilt and people are coming to know the Scriptures and the roots Christianity: from this a great respect and love for the Jewish people is born.

A Symphonic Homage and Prayer, composed by Kiko Argüello, remembering the tragedy of the Shoah, helped us to focus on the suffering of the innocents, which continues today also among Christians in some countries of Africa and the Middle East. We expressed our shared commitment to the presence of God in the world and our common desire to engage in tikkun olam, in repair of the world for all humanity, including increased concern for the suffering of the poor, for greater respect for creation and for strengthening the family.

Reflecting on Nostra Aetate and the dramatic change it promoted, great opportunities and challenges were highlighted.  However an immense change from the prejudices and divisions of the past is being born and this event foreshadows a new  relationship between Judaism and Christianity.

Pope Francis sent a personal message to the participants where he wrote: “United to you I pray to the Lord that He may listen to the cry of the innocents and He may heal the pain of all those who are suffer. I pray that the hearts may be opened to the invocation of the innocents all over the world." (Bergolgio to Sycretist  Gathering.)

Who are the innocents?

Well, I can assure you that they are not the nearly sixty million innocent preborn children within their mothers’ wombs who have been killed by surgical means in the United States of America in the past fifty years, and they are not the countless millions killed by such means throughout the world in the same time frame. The “innocents” are also not the hundreds upon hundreds of millions innocent preborn babies killed by chemical abortifacients.

No, the “innocents” for Kiko Arguello and his Talmudic cult is a term that refers exclusively to the victims of the crimes of Adolph Hitler’s Nazi regime, crimes that professional “Holocaust hucksters” would have us believe was the worst of all time, worse even than what our own sins, having transcended time, caused the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity made Man in Our Lady’s Virginal and Immaculate Womb by the power of the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, to suffer in His Sacred Humanity in His Passion and Death. Kiko Arguello, whose Talmudic cult receives support from the blood money of Talmunidsts such as Abraham Foxman, whose notorious Anti-Defamation League has long championed the diabolical causes of removing Crucifixes and Crosses and Nativity scenes from public property, of filling one amicus curiae brief after another in support of the chemical and surgical execution of the innocent preborn and in support of those who desire legal recognition for the sins of perversity and to silence all those who criticize the sin of Sodom as an abomination in the sight of God. Abraham Foxman, a sworn enemy of the Social Reign of Christ the King, is the friend of Kiko Arguello and his Neocatechumenal Cult because he finds them to be a useful means to perpetuate the Talmudic cause within what is thought to be the Catholic Church.

Make no mistake about it, conciliar revolutionaries such as Karol Josef Wojtyla/John Paul II, Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis have expressed the belief that the crimes committed by the agents of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich against adherents of the Talmud, crimes that were made possible by the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King in Europe wrought by the Protestant Revolution and the subsequent rise of the naturalism of Judeo-Masonry that sought to replace the influence of Holy Mother Church with the religious indifferentism and pluralism of the modern civil state, made it necessary to "evaluate and define in a new way" what he believes is the Catholic Church's relationship with "the Faith of Israel," and it was in that "evaluation" process that Ratzinger/Benedict, among others, "discovered" that the "answer" had been there all along:

Secondly, it was necessary to give a new definition to the relationship between the Church and the modern State that would make room impartially for citizens of various religions and ideologies, merely assuming responsibility for an orderly and tolerant coexistence among them and for the freedom to practise their own religion.

Thirdly, linked more generally to this was the problem of religious tolerance - a question that required a new definition of the relationship between the Christian faith and the world religions. In particular, before the recent crimes of the Nazi regime and, in general, with a retrospective look at a long and difficult history, it was necessary to evaluate and define in a new way the relationship between the Church and the faith of Israel.  (Christmas greetings to the Members of the Roman Curia and Prelature, December 22, 2005.)

The missionary work of the true Church entrusted to her by her Divine Founder and Invisible Head, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is never in need of alteration because of the events of the world. Holy Mother Church has a mission to seek the conversion of all people to the true Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. To assert otherwise is to make a liar of Truth Incarnate, Christ the King, Who uttered these words to the Eleven before He Ascended to His Co-Equal and Co-Eternal God the Father's right hand in glory on Ascension Thursday forty days after His Resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday:

Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. (Matthew 28: 18-20.)

The first pope, Saint Peter, did not misunderstand this commission as he preached to the Jews on Pentecost Sunday, although, as will be demonstrated shortly, Ratzinger/Benedict believes that the first pope's sermon on Pentecost Sunday was only a "Resurrection proclamation," not an effort at conversion. That is, of course, if the sermon was delivered by Saint Peter at all, a subject that the conciliar "pontiff" tells us he will not take up his book as he leaves his readers with the impression that it is plausible that Saint Peter might not have delivered it as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. More on this boilerplate piece of Modernist revisionism in a short while.

Saint Paul the Apostle did not misunderstand this commission as he preached to his fellow Jews before commencing his mission to the Gentiles.

Saint Stephen the Protomartyr did not misunderstand this commission as he specifically sought the conversion of the Jews.

Saint Vincent Ferrer did not misunderstand this commission as he specifically sought the conversion of Jews in the Iberian Peninsula and southern France at the end of the Fourteenth and the beginning of the Fifteenth Centuries.

The Mother of God herself did not misunderstand this commission as he appeared to the Catholic-hating Jew named Alphonse Ratisbonne in the Church of San Andrea delle Fratte on January 20, 1842, to seek his conversion to the Catholic Faith in the image that is displayed on her Miraculous Medal that he mocked but had begun to wear nevertheless on a dare.

Fathers Maria-Alphonse Ratisbonne and Theodore Ratisbonne did not misunderstand this commission as they sought and received permission from Pope Pius IX to convert their fellow Jews living in Palestine in the middle of the Nineteenth Century.

Saint John Bosco did not misunderstand this commission as he sought the conversion of Jewish schoolmate as a teenager. (See Zealous For Souls Until the Very End.)

For Ratzinger to have been correct, course, God the Holy Ghost had to "keep" the knowledge of the "true mission" of the Church as regards the Jews "secret" until these latter days. This is Gnosticism. He believes that he has been given the "key" to "know" that has been kept hidden for nearly two millennia.

The conciliar revolutionaries can no Patristic sources to support their contention that the "beginnings" of a "correct understanding" of what they think is the Catholic Church's relationship to the "faith of Israel" as there is no such evidence whatsoever. Indeed, the Church Fathers wrote quite the contrary of what these figures of Antichrist have taught, which is why it is necessary to reinvent, distort and misrepresent the teaching of the Fathers on a variety of subjects in order to present them as "witnesses" in behalf of conciliarism. Saint John Chrysostom, for example, taught us in no uncertain terms that the synagogue is a place of the devil, not of God.

Here is how Saint Peter's Pentecost Sunday sermon was deconstructed by Ratzinger/Benedict in Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection:

From a theological understanding of the empty tomb, a passage from Saint Peter's Pentecost sermon strikes me as important, when Peter for the first time openly proclaims Jesus' Resurrection to the assembled crowds. He communicates it, not in his own words, but by quoting Psalm 16:8-10 as follows: "... my flesh will dwell in hope. For you will not abandon my son to Hades, nor let your Holy One see corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life" (Acts 2:26-28). Peter quotes the psalm text using the version found in the Greek Bible. The Hebrew text is slightly different: "You do not give me up to Sheol, or let your godly one see the Pit. You show me the path of life" (Ps. 16:10-11). In the Hebrew version the psalmist speaks in the certainty that God will protect him, even in the threatening situation in which he evidently finds himself, that God will shield him from death and that he may dwell securely: he will not see the grave. The version Peter quotes is different: here the psalmist is confident that he will not remain in the underworld, that he will not see corruption.

Peter takes it for granted that it was David who originally prayed this psalm, and he goes on to state that this hope was not fulfilled in David: "He both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day" (Acts 2:29). The tomb containing his corpse is the proof of his not having risen. Yet the psalm text is still true: it applies to the definitive David. Indeed, Jesus is revealed here as the true David, precisely because in him this promise is fulfilled: "You will not let your Holy One see corruption."

We need not go into the question here of whether this address goes back to Peter and, if not, who else may have redacted it and precisely when and where it originated. Whatever the answer may be, we are dealing here with a primitive form of Resurrection proclamation, whose high authority in the early Church is clear from the fact that it was attributed to Saint Peter himself and was regarded as the original proclamation of the Resurrection. (Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week: From the Entrance into Jerusalem to the Resurrection, pp. 255-256.) 

Left unaddressed in this classic piece of Modernist deconstruction of Sacred Scripture that will forever remain a blasphemous affront to God the Holy Ghost and to Saint Peter is the little matter that three thousand Jews from all over the Mediterranean converted because of the stirring words delivered by our first pope moments after he had received the Seven Gifts and Twelve Fruits of God the Holy Ghost, being blessed at that moment with the charism of infallibility of doctrine. Ratzinger/Benedict placed into question, no matter how subtly by way of refusing address the question that he raised, the fact that Saint Peter delivered this sermon as to admit this is to have been the case would have been to condemn himself for refusing to speak to Jews as Saint Peter did.

Moreover, as we know that Saint Peter did deliver this sermon and that the Acts of the Apostles was written by Saint Luke under the inspiration of God the Holy Ghost, to assert that Saint Peter was wrong about the authorship of Psalm 16, attributing it "incorrectly" to King David, is to mock the papal infallibility with which our first pope had just been clothed by the same God the Holy Ghost. 

In order to curry favor with the Talmudists and the world that is largely, although far from exclusively, in their control, the conciliar revolutionaries must place into question the very reality of Saint Peter's Pentecost Sunday sermon as a coherent whole and to point out his "error" that is no error at all.

Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:

But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know: This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain. Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.

For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day. Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.

Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses. Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear. For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified. Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call. And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all. And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common. Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need. (Acts 2: 14-41.)

Fidelity to the first pope, who sought the conversion from all of the Jews who had gathered in Jerusalem on the first Pentecost Sunday, is far from the minds of the conciliar revolutionaries and the likes of Kiko Arguello. No, the “Holocaust” changed all of that forever. Catholics must now be silent about “conversion” and seek to make reparation for their “crimes” against the Jews even though the crimes committed by the Satanist and occultist Adolph Hitler were the result of the systematic de-Cathoicization of Europe brought about by the Protestant Revolution and the relentless effort of the Talmudists themselves, working on their own and through the agency of the Freemasonic lodges. Catholics are not responsible for the crimes, whatever their number, of Adolph Hitler. Hitler and his minions were responsible, and their rise to power was in large part the work of Talmudism own tireless warfare against the Social Reign of Christ the King and the exaltation of the religiously indifferentist civil state of Modernity.

It came as no surprise on March 13, 2013, to learn what was already well-known to faithful Catholics who had suffered for fifteen long years under the conciliar “archbishop” of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, namely, that the man who goes by the name of “Pope Francis” was a firm supporter of the Neocatechumenal Way:

The initiators and responsibles of the Neocatechumenal Way, Kiko Argüello, Carmen Hernández and Fr. Mario Pezzi, wish to express their joy for the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the new Pontiff of the Church, His Holiness Francis:

“The name that he has chosen as Pope is already a glimpse of the pontificate that he will bring forth: simplicity and humility,” Kiko Argüello said. “We are convinced that he is a providential Pope for these times and he will bring the Gospel tirelessly around the world. He has always been close to the Way and to us, the initiators, he has always shown his affection and expressed his support. On various occasions, he has presided over celebrations of the Neocatechumenal communities of Buenos Aires, such as the 40th Anniversary Eucharist in 2008.

Pope Francis will be a tireless herald of the Gospel. He is without a doubt a great hope for the Church, and all the people of the Neocatechumenal Way will pray for him and for his pontificate.” (Statement by Initiators of the Neocatechumenal Way. For those who have short memories, Focolare and Cursillo were profiled briefly in Giving A Little "Push" To "Getting To Know You". )

 

The truly revolutionary nature of the Neocatechumenal Way was described in a very favorable light by none other than Sean "Cardinal" O'Malley, the nefarious enabler of the Kennedys who is the conciliar "archbishop" of Boston, Massachusetts, on his personal "blog" four years ago just after he had participated in a "retreat" that was conducted at this horrific "movement's" monstrous Domus Galiliaeae House in Israel:

Obviously, the spirituality of the Neocatechumenal Way, so much based upon baptismal mystagogia, is a grace for the Church and is allowing so many people to deepen their own baptismal commitment and to embrace a very radical form of Gospel life. Pope Benedict XVI met last month with 7,000 members of the Neocatechumenal Way and gave them a beautiful speech that underlines this aspect of their charism.

The centrality of the liturgy and the importance of the aesthetical — to allow people to glimpse the beauty of God — are obvious in everything that the Neocatechumenal Way does. The fact that the founder is a talented artist and musician also is a very important factor in the way that the Way has developed, and how they catechize and evangelize through the beauty of the liturgy, in song and in iconography.  (Boston Apostate's Personal Bog and Pravda Disinformation Site. Please see Appendix C below for a fuller description of O'Malley's visit the Neocatechumenal Way's mother ship in the Holy Land.)

Yes, you see, Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis is just as much a thorough supporter of the Neocatechumenal Way as Sean O'Malley, who told us six years ago that the “Holocaust” was “the worst crime in human history” (see No Crime Is Worse Than Deicide).

Why is this so?

Because the Neocatechumenal Way has the full support of the Synagogue of Satan before which Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis is a obeisant sycophant as he prays from the blasphemous Talmud and makes jokes about Our Lord's Crucifix, the very instrument of our salvation and the Sign of our Holy Faith.

Consider the praise accorded this Judeo-Masonic "lay movement" with the structures of the counterfeit church of concilairism was praised by Rabbi David Rosen and the aforementioned Commissar Sean O'Malley four years ago, that is, in 2011.

The rabbi stressed the importance of the work of the movements and people that embraced "Nostra Aetate" beyond the importance of the declaration itself.

"As one of the most powerful of these Catholic movements, especially in the Spanish-speaking world, but indeed across the globe, the profound commitment of the Neocatechumenal Way to ensuring that the pathway of 'Nostra Aetate' becomes the highway of the Church is of inestimable importance," Rabbi Rosen said.

After the rabbi spoke, the seminarians of Redemptoris Mater sang "Shema Israel," a song based on one of the most important Jewish prayers, to honor the speaker and the message.

After closing the dinner in prayer, Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley shared his thoughts about the purpose of the gala dinner for the archdiocese.

"It is our way of celebrating the presence of the seminary and the vocations of our seminarians, but it is also a realization of the very deep commitment that they have to the interfaith mission of our Church, particularly our relationships with the Jewish community. The presence of Rabbi David Rosen and so many Jewish leaders here is just indicative of in what great esteem the Neocatechumenal Way is held by the Jewish community throughout the world," he told The Pilot. (Rabbi Rosen Honored at Redemptoris Mater Seminary Gala. See also two articles about the Neocatechumenal Way's founder Kiko Aruello's "symphony" that he composed to build "bridges of reconciliation" between Christians and Talmudists: A Concert Of Reconciliation and Kiko Argüello: "The Suffering of the Innocents. Appendix D below contains information about the list of conciliar "bishops" who supported the "Suffering of the Innocents" and the list of Talmudic rabbis who did so.)

Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis fits right in with the Neocatechumenal Way, Focolare and Cursillo because he is what they are: a wholly owned subsidiarity of Judeo-Masonry to establish the One World Ecumenical Church once and for all.

Indeed, of the signatories of the "Suffering of the Innocents" was none other than Timothy Michael Dolan, the buffoon who has been the conciliar "archbishop" of New York since April 15, 2009. Dolan, who groveled before Talmudists at the ultra-progressive Lincoln Square Synagogue twenty-seven months ago now (see "You're Not Supposed To Do This"), said shortly after his "installation" in New York six years ago that he had “long admired the work” of the Anti-Defamation League. These are members of the Catholic Church. Guess again. They are figures of Antichrist and thus enemies of Christ the King. This is all about syncretism, every little last bit of it as steps are taken by the Argentine Apostate to fulfill the prophecy made about him and his fellow spiritual robber barons in Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910:

We fear that worse is to come: the end result of this developing promiscuousness, the beneficiary of this cosmopolitan social action, can only be a Democracy which will be neither Catholic, nor Protestant, nor Jewish. It will be a religion (for Sillonism, so the leaders have said, is a religion) more universal than the Catholic Church, uniting all men become brothers and comrades at last in the "Kingdom of God". - "We do not work for the Church, we work for mankind."

And now, overwhelmed with the deepest sadness, We ask Ourselves, Venerable Brethren, what has become of the Catholicism of the Sillon? Alas! this organization which formerly afforded such promising expectations, this limpid and impetuous stream, has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, and is now no more than a miserable affluent of the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)

The hour is very, very late. Those who have not yet come to grips with the reality of our situation had better do so quickly as Antichrist is not going to give us his calling card, and he cannot be a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter. The Catholic Church is the virginal, spotless mystical bride of her Divine Founder and Invisible Head, Christ the king. She can never be spotted by even the slightest taint of error.

Who says so?

Oh well, our true popes themselves:

66. And if at times there appears in the Church something that indicates the weakness of our human nature, it should not be attributed to her juridical constitution, but rather to that regrettable inclination to evil found in each individual, which its Divine Founder permits even at times in the most exalted members of His Mystical Body, for the purpose of testing the virtue of the shepherds no less than of the flocks, and that all may increase the merit of their Christian faith. For, as We said above, Christ did not wish to exclude sinners from His Church; hence if some of her members are suffering from spiritual maladies, that is no reason why we should lessen our love for the Church, but rather a reason why we should increase our devotion to her members. Certainly the loving Mother is spotless in the Sacraments, by which she gives birth to and nourishes her children; in the faith which she has always preserved inviolate; in her sacred laws imposed on all; in the evangelical counsels which she recommends; in those heavenly gifts and extraordinary graces through which, with inexhaustible fecundity, [130] she generates hosts of martyrs, virgins and confessors. But it cannot be laid to her charge if some members fall, weak or wounded. In their name she prays to God daily: "Forgive us our trespasses"; and with the brave heart of a mother she applies herself at once to the work of nursing them back to spiritual health. When therefore we call the Body of Jesus Christ "mystical," the very meaning of the word conveys a solemn warning. It is a warning that echoes in these words of St. Leo: "Recognize, O Christian, your dignity, and being made a sharer of the divine nature go not back to your former worthlessness along the way of unseemly conduct. Keep in mind of what Head and of what Body you are a member." [131] (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, June 29, 1943.)

These firings, therefore, with all diligence and care having been formulated by us, we define that it be permitted to no one to bring forward, or to write, or to compose, or to think, or to teach a different faith. Whosoever shall presume to compose a different faith, or to propose, or teach, or hand to those wishing to be converted to the knowledge of the truth, from the Gentiles or Jews, or from any heresy, any different Creed; or to introduce a new voice or invention of speech to subvert these things which now have been determined by us, all these, if they be Bishops or clerics let them be deposed, the Bishops from the Episcopate, the clerics from the clergy; but if they be monks or laymen: let them be anathematized. (Constantinople III).

These and many other serious things, which at present would take too long to list, but which you know well, cause Our intense grief. It is not enough for Us to deplore these innumerable evils unless We strive to uproot them. We take refuge in your faith and call upon your concern for the salvation of the Catholic flock. Your singular prudence and diligent spirit give Us courage and console Us, afflicted as We are with so many trials. We must raise Our voice and attempt all things lest a wild boar from the woods should destroy the vineyard or wolves kill the flock. It is Our duty to lead the flock only to the food which is healthful. In these evil and dangerous times, the shepherds must never neglect their duty; they must never be so overcome by fear that they abandon the sheep. Let them never neglect the flock and become sluggish from idleness and apathy. Therefore, united in spirit, let us promote our common cause, or more truly the cause of God; let our vigilance be one and our effort united against the common enemies.

Indeed you will accomplish this perfectly if, as the duty of your office demands, you attend to yourselves and to doctrine and meditate on these words: "the universal Church is affected by any and every novelty" and the admonition of Pope Agatho: "nothing of the things appointed ought to be diminished; nothing changed; nothing added; but they must be preserved both as regards expression and meaning." Therefore may the unity which is built upon the See of Peter as on a sure foundation stand firm. May it be for all a wall and a security, a safe port, and a treasury of countless blessings. To check the audacity of those who attempt to infringe upon the rights of this Holy See or to sever the union of the churches with the See of Peter, instill in your people a zealous confidence in the papacy and sincere veneration for it. As St. Cyprian wrote: "He who abandons the See of Peter on which the Church was founded, falsely believes himself to be a part of the Church . . . .

But for the other painful causes We are concerned about, you should recall that certain societies and assemblages seem to draw up a battle line together with the followers of every false religion and cult. They feign piety for religion; but they are driven by a passion for promoting novelties and sedition everywhere. They preach liberty of every sort; they stir up disturbances in sacred and civil affairs, and pluck authority to pieces.(Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, August 15, 1832.)

As for the rest, We greatly deplore the fact that, where the ravings of human reason extend, there is somebody who studies new things and strives to know more than is necessary, against the advice of the apostle. There you will find someone who is overconfident in seeking the truth outside the Catholic Church, in which it can be found without even a light tarnish of error. Therefore, the Church is called, and is indeed, a pillar and foundation of truth. You correctly understand, venerable brothers, that We speak here also of that erroneous philosophical system which was recently brought in and is clearly to be condemned. This system, which comes from the contemptible and unrestrained desire for innovation, does not seek truth where it stands in the received and holy apostolic inheritance. Rather, other empty doctrines, futile and uncertain doctrines not approved by the Church, are adopted. Only the most conceited men wrongly think that these teachings can sustain and support that truth. (Pope Gregory XVI, Singulari Nos, May 25, 1834.)

In the Catholic Church Christianity is Incarnate. It identifies Itself with that perfect, spiritual, and, in its own order, sovereign society, which is the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ and which has for Its visible head the Roman Pontiff, successor of the Prince of the Apostles. It is the continuation of the mission of the Savior, the daughter and the heiress of His Redemption. It has preached the Gospel, and has defended it at the price of Its blood, and strong in the Divine assistance and of that immortality which has been promised it, It makes no terms with error but remains faithful to the commands which  it has received, to carry the doctrine of Jesus Christ to the uttermost limits of the world and to the end of time, and to protect it in its inviolable integrity. (Pope Leo XIII, A Review of His Pontificate, March 19, 1902.)

For the teaching authority of the Church, which in the divine wisdom was constituted on earth in order that revealed doctrines might remain intact for ever, and that they might be brought with ease and security to the knowledge of men, and which is daily exercised through the Roman Pontiff and the Bishops who are in communion with him, has also the office of defining, when it sees fit, any truth with solemn rites and decrees, whenever this is necessary either to oppose the errors or the attacks of heretics, or more clearly and in greater detail to stamp the minds of the faithful with the articles of sacred doctrine which have been explained. (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)

Let, therefore, the separated children draw nigh to the Apostolic See, set up in the City which Peter and Paul, the Princes of the Apostles, consecrated by their blood; to that See, We repeat, which is 'the root and womb whence the Church of God springs,' not with the intention and the hope that 'the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth' will cast aside the integrity of the faith and tolerate their errors, but, on the contrary, that they themselves submit to its teaching and government. (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)

Perhaps it is wise for those in the "resist while recognize" movement to consider once again the following words of Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., that he wrote concerning the reign of Pope Saint Clement I and an epistle he had written:

Its tone is dignified but paternal, according to St. Peter's advice to pastors. There is nothing in it of a domineering spirit; but the grave and solemn language bespeaks the universal pastor, whom none can disobey without disobeying God Himself. These words so solemn and so firm wrought the desired effect: peace was re-established in the church of Corinth, and the messengers of the Roman Pontiff soon brought back the happy news. A century later, St. Dionysius, bishop of Corinth, expressed to Pope St. Soter the gratitude still felt by his flock towards Clement for the service he had rendered. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year.)

Dom Prosper reminds us that the authority of the Vicar of Christ is absolute, that the pope is one "whom none can disobey without disobeying God Himself." Indeed. Although I am late to have my own eyes opened to the ramifications of this truth, suffice it to say that a legitimate pontiff commands our obedience in all things that do not pertain to sin, in all things that pertain to faith and morals. No one can oppose a legitimate pontiff without opposing Our Lord Himself. And no legitimate pontiff can give us bad doctrine or defective worship. He cannot express in his capacity as a private theologian, no less publicly or in exhortations or encyclical letters that are published in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, things contrary to the defined, irreformable teaching of the Catholic Church (see, for example, ).

We do not despair! We belong to Our Lady, who made her first apparition in the Cova da Iria near Portugal, Fatima, to Jacinta and Francisco Marto and Lucia dos Santos ninety-eight years ago this very day, that is, May 13, 1917. We must heed her Fatima Message in this time of apostasy and betrayal. It is essential for us to do so.

This is what Our Lady said ninety-eight years ago today:

Do not be afraid, I will not harm you."

"I come from heaven."

"I have come to ask you to come here for six months on the 13th day of the month, at this same hour. Later I shall say who I am and what I desire. And I shall return here yet a seventh time."

Lucia then asked if they would go to heaven and she was told yes, she and Jacinta would go to heaven, but Francisco would need to say many rosaries first.

Lucia asked about two young women who had died recently, and was told that one was in heaven and the other, her friend Amelia, would be in purgatory "until the end of world."

"Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the conversion of sinners?"

"Then you are going to have much to suffer, but the grace of God will be your comfort." (Our Lady's words at Fatima.)  

There is quite a lot contained in these words of Our Lady at the time of her first apparition ninety-four years ago now. Quite a lot.

First, Our Lady told the children not to be afraid, that she had come from Heaven.

We tend, my good and very few readers, to get so lost in some of the problems extant in the world and that face us as Catholics in this time of apostasy and betrayal that we forget that the problems of these times will be over in flash. They will be over in a flash for us at the moment of our deaths, which could occur at any time, possibly this very day, Wednesday, May 13, 2015, and they will be over in a flash at the Second Coming of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when He comes in glory for all see on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the living and the dead. We do not have a permanent home here on this earth:

[14] For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come. [15] By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name. (Hebrews 13: 14-15.)  

We have been made by God to be with Him in Heaven for all eternity, and we can only do that is we belong to His Most Blessed Mother.

Second, Jacinta Marto and Lucia dos Santos were given the incomparable privilege of knowing that that they were predestined to go to Heaven. Very few souls have been given this knowledge in their lifetimes. Very few.

For the rest of us, you see, we must work hard to go to Heaven as members of the Catholic Church, the only true church. Our Lady said that Francisco Marto would have to pray many Rosaries to go to Heaven. If little Francisco Marto, had to say many Rosaries go to Heaven, my good and diminish readership, then what us sinful folk? What about us? Yes, less time on the internet. Throw out the television. Turn off the naturalists on the radio and refuse to buy their snake-oil wares promising to tell you what's wrong the world as what's wrong with the world is that men and their nations do not subordinate themselves the Catholic Church and to the Social Reign of Christ the King. You need Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh to feed you a stack of naturalist lies? You do not. You need to pray more Rosaries. I need to pray more Rosaries!

Third, Our Lady told the three shepherd children that a friend of theirs who had died was going to be in Purgatory until the end of time. That should send chills up and down our mushy spines and cause our lukewarm hearts. Why was that little girl, who was, I believe, around fifteen years old, to be in Purgatory until the end of time? Because she had read bad books, that is, books filled with impurity. What about us? Do we still watch television, no less television programs that contain blasphemy and obscenity? Do we still go to motion pictures filled with rank immodesty that promote sins against Holy Purity and the most horrific visual graphics and sounds imaginable? No one has to pay any of that back because we're here to have fun? Quite wrong. Many of us have indeed participated in the popular culture, accepting just "a little bit of poison" because "the rest of the program [or movie] was very good, very entertaining." This is not the path of sanctity. This is not the path to Heaven.

Fourth, Our Lady asked the three shepherd children, those wonderfully privileged souls, if they were willing to offer themselves "to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the conversion of sinners?" Are we willing to do so. How can we refuse our Most Blessed Mother's request to do so?

This time of apostasy will pass. We must simply pray to Our Lady to persevere the until of our lives, which could come this very day. We must suffer what God will for us to endure, including watching the spectacle of Raul Castro and the Talmudists and Anglicans and Lutherans and Obama/Soetoro himself engage in endless love-ins with the "pope of mercy."

Is it truly time to pray a Rosary now?

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.

Viva Cristo Rey! Vivat Christus Rex!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! 

Saint Joseph, Patron of Departing Souls, pray for us. 

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us. 

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us. 

Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, pray for us.

Saint Raphael the Archangel, pray for us. 

Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us. 

Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, pray for us.

Saint Robert Bellarmine, S.J., pray for us.

Appendix A

The Society of Saint Pius X on The Neocatechemunal Way (the 1999 version of the Society of Saint Pius X, that is)

In February 1972, a 400-page book was printed in Spain containing the advice given to the catechists of the Neo-Catechumenal Movement by Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez, in charge of this Movement. This is an exceptional document revealing the reality of this association.

This book is reserved to the catechists of the Movement and nobody else can acquire it. It became known, thanks to an indiscretion. The secret character of the advice given is often repeated in the book: “Don’t tell this to anybody else… If people knew this, they would go away quickly…” This is very surprising for a Movement which pretends to be Catholic. It seems, on the opposite, to be a kind of freemasonry. But let us go further.

“Traditional Christianism, with Baptism, First Communion, Sunday Mass, Commandments of God, was not a Christianism. It was dirt. We were pre-Christians.(…) God called us now to found a catechumen Movement turned towards rebirth (of real Christianism)”.

Ignoring and rejecting 2000 years of Catholic doctrine and practice of the Church, the Neo-Catechumenal way claims to rediscover the primitive and authentic Christian values. In this book, we can find at least six important points of that which is Catholic which was destroyed by this Movement.

I. LUTHERAN CONCEPT OF SALVATION

“BECAUSE OF THE THEOLOGICAL RENEWAL OF SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL, TODAY, THE DOGMA OF REDEMPTION IS NO MORE SPOKEN OF, BUT RATHER, THE MYSTERY OF THE PASCH OF JESUS.”

The central point of the doctrine of Luther is that we can be saved without good works inspired by prayer, penance and charity. Faith alone is sufficient. This faith is essentially a confidence that God forgives sins because of Jesus Christ. As a consequence, the sacrament of penance is useless. (Dictionary of the Catholic Faith, D’Ales, Vol 4, p. 794, article: Reformation).

In the book of Kiko and Carmen, we read: “Man is not saved by good works (…), Jesus Christ did not come to give us a model of life, an example (…). The Holy Spirit doesn’t lead us to perfection, to good works (…), Christianism doesn’t require anything from us (…). God forgives freely the sins of those who believe that Jesus is the Savior.” Here, it is very clear!

In another place, they write that good works are the “signs of faith”, and that they are not Protestant. There is, however, such a great insistence that faith alone is essentially sufficient, that we could say that their doctrine on salvation is Protestant. In the Catholic Doctrine, good works are not only signs, but necessary means for salvation.

II. DENIAL OF REDEMPTION

In the Catholic Doctrine, the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ was the cause of our salvation because, having been an exact reparation for all our sins, it was the price of our salvation, according to the plan of God: “For you have been bought with a great price.” (I Cor vi, 20). Kiko and Carmen write: “The notion of sacrifice entered in the Eucharist by condescension for the pagan mentality (of this time). (…) But does God need the Blood of His Son in order to be appeased?” And they explain that “by his Resurrection, Jesus showed us His Will to forgive us.” But it is no more His sacrifice of the Cross which obtained our forgiveness: “Because of the Theological renewal of Second Vatican Council, today, the dogma of Redemption is no more spoken of, but rather, the mystery of the Pasch of Jesus.”

We answer that no council of the Catholic Church can change its infallible doctrine! The doctrine of the Catholic Church is that the Sacrifice of Our Lord is together a Mystery of Justice and Love: the Divine Wisdom which was not obliged to require an exact reparation for our sins, but who chose this means to show us the gravity of sin1; the infinite love of God makes reparation in our place by the Second Person of the Holy Trinity having taken our nature; infinite love of the Son of God offering Himself on the Cross for the glory of his Father and our salvation; his esteem for His Son giving him such a difficult mission and rewarding Him by the gift of a name above all names.

(Dictionary of the Catholic Faith – Article: Redemption. Summa of St. Thomas Aquinas: Treaty of the Passion)

III. DENIAL OF CONFESSION

For Kiko and Carmen, to think that “the essential of confession consists in confessing our own sins in order to receive absolution is a magic and an individualistic conception of this sacrament, where it is a man who forgives our sins.” For them the importance of this sacrament is not the absolution because we are already forgiven in Jesus Christ; but it is the community of the Church which is the sign of Jesus Christ and which forgives (!).

Kiko and Carmen forgot these words of Our Lord Jesus Christ: “Whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven (Matthew XVI, 19)”. Our Lord spoke to His Apostles and successors (bishops and priests) and not to the community of the faithful!

The Eucharistic Miracle at Lanciano gave us the proof that Christ is really and transubstantially present in the Holy Eucharist.

IV. DENIAL OF THE SACRIFICE OF EUCHARIST

The Mass, for Kiko and Carmen, is only “the memorial of the Pasch of Jesus, of his passage from death to life”, and again: “The notion of sacrifice is a condescension for the pagan mentality (…). At the beginning of the Church, in the Theology of the Mass, there was no sacrifice of Jesus, no sacrifice of the Cross, no Calvary, but only a sacrifice of praise.”

This is a typical Protestant conception of the Mass. Let us quote here some canons of the Council of Trent (22nd Session):

“If anyone say that in the Mass, a true and real sacrifice is not offered to God (…), let him be anathema (Canon 1).

If anyone says that the sacrifice of the Mass is that only of praise and thanksgiving, or that it is a mere commemoration of the sacrifice consummated on the Cross but not a propitiatory one [that is, a sacrifice to appease God – ed.] (…) let him be anathema (Canon 3).”

V. DENIAL OF THE REAL PRESENCE

Kiko and Carmen ridicule the traditional practices of the Catholic Church: “the tabernacles, the Feast of Corpus Christi, the solemn expositions of the Blessed Sacrament, processions, adorations, genuflections, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, to think that by communion we put Jesus in our soul, thanksgiving after communion, private Masses without faithful (…) all these practices minimize the Eucharist and are far from the spirit of Easter.” But, what really is important for them?

“The most important thing does not consist in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, but in the Eucharist as it is the mystery of the Pasch (…). As God was present in the first Pasch, when the Hebrew fled from Egypt, so Jesus is present by his spirit, resurrected from the dead.”

To this unusual and strange definition of the Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, dangerously similar to the Protestant doctrine, let us quote the definition given by the Catechism of Saint Pius X:

“The Holy Eucharist is a sacrament in which, by the marvelous conversion of the whole substance of bread into the body of Jesus Christ, and that of wine into His Precious Blood, is contained truly, really and substantially, the Body, the Blood, the soul and Divinity of the same Lord Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine.”

VI. DENIAL OF THE RESURRECTION

Kiko and Carmen write: “The memorial Jesus left us in His resurrected Spirit from the dead (…). How did the Apostles see Jesus Christ resurrected? In themselves, made a vivifying spirit.”

Kiko and Carmen forgot that in the Catholic Church, when it is spoken of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, it is the resurrection of His Body.

In its commentary on the Creed, the Catechism of the Council of Trent writes: “On the morning of the third day after His death, the soul of Jesus Christ was reunited to His Body, and thus He who was dead during those three days arose, and returned again to life from which He had departed when dying.”

Kiko and Carmen forgot that the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a dogma of our Faith: “If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” (I Cor. xv, 14)

PAPAL APPROBATION

In October 1990, “Thirty days” magazine ran as a headline: “Green light for the Neo-Catechumens. John Paul II praises the Neo-Catechumenal Way.”

Perhaps, the Pope had not received the secret book of Kiko and Carmen destined only to the catechists of the Movement: “If people knew this, they would fly quickly.”

But, this official approbation is tragic. This Movement is a seat of destruction of Catholic faith within the Church, a kind of cancer, whose metastasis are spread all over the world now. Because of the papal approbation, seminaries of this Movement for the formation of priests are being built everywhere: in Rome, New York, Madrid, Varsovia, Medellin (Colombia), Caliao (Peru).

As for all secret organizations working against the Church, the duty of all Catholics is to make known the secret and reveal the true goal of the Neo-Catechumenal Movement which is the destruction of Faith.  (A Critique of the Neo-Catechumenal Way; it is only a matter of time before the Society of Pius X  takes it place among with the Neocatechumenal Movement as part of the counterfeit church of conciliarism, a place where unity of Faith and worship is not required for admission or retention.)

Appendix B

Bishop George Hay on Relations With Non-Catholics

Lastly, the beloved disciple St. John renews the same command in the strongest terms, and adds another reason, which regards all without exception, and especially those who are best instructed in their duty: "Look to yourselves", says he, "that ye lose not the things that ye have wrought, but that you may receive a full reward. Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine the same hath both the Father and the Son. If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor say to him, God speed you: for he that saith to him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works". (2 John, ver. 8)

Here, then, it is manifest, that all fellowship with those who have not the doctrine of Jesus Christ, which is "a communication in their evil works" — that is, in their false tenets, or worship, or in any act of religion — is strictly forbidden, under pain of losing the "things we have wrought, the reward of our labors, the salvation of our souls". And if this holy apostle declares that the very saying God speed to such people is a communication with their wicked works, what would he have said of going to their places of worship, of hearing their sermons, joining in their prayers, or the like?

From this passage the learned translators of the Rheims New Testament, in their note, justly observe, "That, in matters of religion, in praying, hearing their sermons, presence at their service, partaking of their sacraments, and all other communicating with them in spiritual things, it is a great and damnable sin to deal with them." And if this be the case with all in general, how much more with those who are well instructed and better versed in their religion than others? For their doing any of these things must be a much greater crime than in ignorant people, because they know their duty better. (Bishop George Hay, The Laws of God Forbidding All Communication in Religion With Those of a False Religion.)

The spirit of Christ, which dictated the Holy Scriptures, and the spirit which animates and guides the Church of Christ, and teaches her all truth, is the same; and therefore in all ages her conduct on this point has been uniformly the same as what the Holy Scripture teaches. She has constantly forbidden her children to hold any communication, in religious matters, with those who are separated from her communion; and this she has sometimes done under the most severe penalties. In the apostolical canons, which are of very ancient standing, and for the most part handed down from the apostolical age, it is thus decreed: "If any bishop, or priest, or deacon, shall join in prayers with heretics, let him be suspended from Communion". (Can. 44)

Also, "If any clergyman or laic shall go into the synagogue of the Jews, or the meetings of heretics, to join in prayer with them, let him be deposed, and deprived of communion". (Can. 63) (Bishop George Hay, (The Laws of God Forbidding All Communication in Religion With Those of a False Religion.)

Bishop Hay, who was the Vicar Apostolic for the Scottish Lowland District from 1778 to 1805 knew the Catholic Faith very well. There is no record that the Sovereign Pontiffs during his tenure, Popes Pius VI and Pius VII, ever once contradicted him for reiterating these truths of the Catholic Faith that he wanted the Catholics in Scotland to accept with humility and docility.

Sean Patrick O'Malley's Praise of the Domus Gallialae in Israel

 

Welcome back,

Last week, I was invited to participate in a retreat and conference for bishops organized by the Neocatechumenal Way at their Domus Galilaeae Center in Israel.

Domusview

The retreat was organized by the international team responsible for the Neocatechumenal Way: Kiko Arguello, Carmen Hernandez and Father Mario Pezzi.

Domus

About 200 bishops attended the event this year. Fifty bishops came from the United States, including Bishop McManus of Worcester and Bishop Hennessey, one of our auxiliaries here in Boston. There were also eight cardinals, several Vatican officials and bishops from all over the world in attendance.

Father Rino Rossi, director of the Domus, welcomed us and told us that over 1,200 bishops have visited this place, as they have attended similar retreats in recent years. It is an impressive number, about one-third of the bishops in the world. He also told us that the center was dedicated by Pope John Paul II during his visit to the Holy Land in 2000.

The Domus Galilaeae is on the top of the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus proclaimed the Sermon on the Mount.

It is an extraordinary place, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Peter and the Apostles were fishermen and around which so much of Jesus’ ministry evolved.

The structure of the Domus Galilaeae is stunning. The architecture is very, very beautiful.

In addition to the conference center, there is also an inter-ritual seminary with seminarians studying for the Latin, Maronite and Melkite rites. They live in small cells around a chapel in which there is perpetual Eucharistic adoration.IMG00315-20110127-0847 (35)

Kiko explained to us that this chapel was the fulfillment of a desire of Blessed Charles de Foucauld, who had wished to build one during his life in that location.

IMG00341-20110131-0242

On my only previous trip to the Holy Land, which was right before the jubilee year in 2000, I stayed with the Franciscan Sisters in the convent they have nearby, closer to the Sea of Galilee. I went with a group of priests from Fall River (I was the bishop there at the time) for a retreat. Father Joe Mindling, a Scripture scholar, gave us conferences in the morning and, in the afternoon, we celebrated the Eucharist in different places.

The first day we all participated in a penitential celebration presided by Cardinal Pell from Sydney.

IMG_4418

In the afternoon we were greeted by the Melkite Archbishop of Nazareth and Galilee, Archbishop Elias Shakour, who is certainly a very colorful individual. He gave a wonderful introduction and had us all laughing.

Israel_IMG_4425

That evening we were invited to spend time scrutinizing the Scripture, a kind of Lectio Divina.

IMG00323-20110127-1259

The first day ended with a Mass presided by Cardinal Cordes.

IMG_4445

From l.eft: Cardinal Simonis, Cardinal Romeo, Cardinal Cordes (Presiding at the Mass), myself, Cardinal McCarrick, Cardinal Pell and Cardinal Urosa. Cardinal Schonborn arrived the next day.

During the retreat there were different conferences on the history and the spirituality of the Neocatechumenal Way, mostly in the evenings, and we visited several holy sites during the morning.

After Kiko described his personal itinerary of faith, I told him that I was struck by how many themes in his life have parallels with my own — though certainly not as dramatic as his!

His spiritual “iter” begins with the Cursillo de Cristiandad, which I too attended in my youth. We also share a great devotion to Charles de Foucauld, which was a very important aspect of my own life when I was young. Then there is the fact that he went to live among the poor. My superiors allowed me to do that after my ordination and it was a great joy. I also ministered to the gypsies in Washington, an extraordinary group of people, who were very important in the experience of Kiko.

Obviously, the spirituality of the Neocatechumenal Way, so much based upon baptismal mystagogia, is a grace for the Church and is allowing so many people to deepen their own baptismal commitment and to embrace a very radical form of Gospel life. Pope Benedict XVI met last month with 7,000 members of the Neocatechumenal Way and gave them a beautiful speech that underlines this aspect of their charism.

The centrality of the liturgy and the importance of the aesthetical — to allow people to glimpse the beauty of God — are obvious in everything that the Neocatechumenal Way does. The fact that the founder is a talented artist and musician also is a very important factor in the way that the Way has developed, and how they catechize and evangelize through the beauty of the liturgy, in song and in iconography.
