Jorge Blasphemes God (Again!) to Tickle the Itching Ears of Men
The
lesson that is usually read on the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, which
is demoted to a commemoration as it falls this year on Sunday, July 1,
2018 the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ and
the Commemoration of the Natvity of Saint John the Baptist, expains that
we must be dead to our sins, not celebrate them:
Brethren:
All we who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into
His death. For we were buried with Him by means of Baptism into death,
in order that, just as Christ has arisen from the dead through the glory
of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have
been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be so in the
likeness of His resurrection also. For we know that our old self has
been crucified with Him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed,
that we may no longer be slaves to sin; for he who is dead is acquitted
of sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also
live together with Christ; for we know that Christ, having risen from
the dead, dies now no more, death shall no longer have dominion over
Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the
life that He lives, He lives unto God. Thus do you consider yourselves
also as dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans
6: 3-11.)
Yes,quite
unlike Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Saint Paul knew that God does not
"accompany us" in our sins. He wants us to quit them by cooperating with
the graces that His Co-Equal and Co-Eternal Divine Son, Our Blessed
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ won for us by the shedding of every single
drop of His Most Precious Blood during His Passion and Death on the
wood of the Holy Cross that flow into our souls through the loving hands
of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces.
As
a true figure of Antichrist, however, Jorge Mario Bergoglio has
protected and promoted and personally endorsed all manner of
unapologetic homosexual activitists within the ranks of the structures
of his false church, including going so far as to hold the hand of the
hand of a homosexual activist named “Father” Luigi Ciotti as they
walked up the steps of a Roman church on April 2, 2014:
Jorge Mario Bergoglio also kissed the hand of a ninety-three year-old homosexual activist named Don Michele De Paolis when he met with him at the Casa Santa Marta on May 7, 2014 (See Jorge the Kissing Fool.)
Bergoglio
has no problem with those who live in lives of unrepentant sins of
perversion, and he has no problem with those who promote it, which is
why he insisted that language "sensitive" to the needs of practicing
sodomites be kept in the final report of last year's "extraordinary
synod of bishops" after the passages had failed to receive the necessary
two-thirds majority approval from the "bishops" in attednance. Lorenzo
Baldiserri (see Modernnists Say Nothing Original) has
been kind enough to admit that this is the case, an admission that came
shortly before Bergoglio met with a woman who had mutiliated herself in
an attempt to become a "man" after she had written to him, a letter
that prompted Jorge to offer to pay her travel expenses to the Casa
Santa Marta along with her supposed "fiancee" (see Mutilating All Truth.),
and he has admitted that he wanted the following passages about those
committing the sin of Sodomy, which just happens to be one of the four
sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance, inserted into the official
record of the "extraordinary synod" of "bishops" in 2014 despite its not
receiving an affirmative vote from two-thirds of the apostates in
attendance and the fact that Amoris Laetitia, March 19, 2016,
used more nuanced language while expressing a need to "welcome" those
who have "tendencies" to the commission of sins of unnatural vice:
Homosexuals
have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community: are we
capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a fraternal
space in our communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that
offers them a welcoming home. Are our communities capable of providing
that, accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without
compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?
The
question of homosexuality leads to a serious reflection on how to
elaborate realistic paths of affective growth and human and evangelical
maturity integrating the sexual dimension: it appears therefore as an
important educative challenge. The Church furthermore affirms that
unions between people of the same sex cannot be considered on the same
footing as matrimony between man and woman. Nor is it acceptable that
pressure be brought to bear on pastors or that international bodies make
financial aid dependent on the introduction of regulations inspired by
gender ideology.
Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions it has
to be noted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of
sacrifice constitutes a precious support in the life of the partners.
Furthermore, the Church pays special attention to the children who live
with couples of the same sex, emphasizing that the needs and rights of
the little ones must always be given priority. (Synod on Family: Midterm report presented, 2015 Synod announced.)
This reflected the mind of Jorge Mario Bergoglio perfectly.
Consider the latest outrage with which most of you are by now quite familiar:
ROME — A Chilean survivor of clerical sex abuse has
said that Pope Francis told him in a private meeting this month that
God had made him gay and that both God and the pontiff loved him that
way, a remarkable expression of inclusion for the leader of the Roman
Catholic Church.
“He
said to me, ‘Juan Carlos that’s not a problem,’ ” said Juan Carlos
Cruz, the abuse survivor, describing having told the pope he was gay in a
long meeting in the Vatican. “You have to be happy with who you are.
God made you this way and loves you this way, and the pope loves you
this way.”
The Vatican declined to comment on the pope’s private remarks.
Mr.
Cruz had already said that Francis had apologized in the meeting for
the large-scale sexual abuse scandal involving Chilean clergy members,
but over the weekend, he also told the Spanish newspaper El País about
the pope’s remarks about his homosexuality. In a separate interview
Sunday night, Mr. Cruz, through tears, explained that he had told
Francis in their nearly three-hour private meeting that he had
maintained his Catholic faith even though Chilean bishops had apparently
told the pope that he had left the church “for a life of perversion.”
In July 2013, the pope responded to questions about a supposed “gay lobby” in the Vatican by saying “Who am I to judge,”
a remark that caused celebration among liberals and consternation among
conservatives. His reported remarks to Mr. Cruz added to the debate
over whether Francis believes homosexuality is a choice.
Vatican
officials, however, cautioned against interpreting the pontiff’s
pastoral outreach as a definitive ruling on the nature-versus-nurture
question or as a change in church teaching.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states
that people with “homosexual tendencies” “must be accepted with
respect, compassion, and sensitivity,” but it also calls a “deep-seated”
homosexual inclination and its acts “intrinsically disordered” and
“contrary to the natural law.”
The
pope’s remarks, if accurate, would reinforce his vision of inclusion,
accompaniment and mercy. It is an emphasis that is increasingly evident
throughout a church hierarchy that he is reshaping.
Archbishop
Matteo Maria Zuppi of Bologna, sometimes called the “Bergoglio of
Italy” for his similarity to Francis, the former Jorge Mario Bergoglio,
published on Monday a preface to the Italian version of “Building a
Bridge,” a book by the American Jesuit priest James Martin about
reaching out to gay Catholics.
“The
intent of the book is to help pastors develop an attitude of
understanding, as well as a capacity for accompaniment, towards their
homosexual brothers and sisters,” the archbishop writes.
The pope has been increasingly assertive over the spring, five years into his papacy, especially after he seemed hobbled by missteps on the Chilean sexual abuse scandal.
He announced on Saturday that Óscar Romero,
a Salvadoran bishop shot and killed by right-wing forces for preaching
against military oppression and American meddling, would be canonized in
October.
The
next day, he reshaped the College of Cardinals, which will choose his
successor. He surprisingly named 14 new cardinals, 11 of whom are under
80 and thus able to vote in the next conclave.
After
the appointment in June of the new cardinals, who come from across the
world, Francis will have named 59, or nearly half of the 125 voting
cardinals. Pope Benedict XVI, a conservative who retired in 2013, named
47 of the remaining electors. And Pope John Paul II, also a
conservative, elevated 19. (Jorge Tells Pervert: God Made You This Way.)
As
a proud son of the conciliar revolution and of the world of Modernity
with which the conciliar revolutionaries have made their “official
reconciliation,” Jorge Mario Bergoglio has been on a one-man crusade, to
use a term that he abhors, to mutilate all truth, whether supernatural
or natural, and one can be assured that the eleven new voting
"cardinals" are completely of one twisted mind and one perverted heart
with him. How any "conservative" or "traditionally-minded" Catholic in
the conciliar structures can think that the next conclave is going to
produce someone who possesses the Catholic Faith is beyond ridicule at
this moment.
God "made" the Chilean man a homosexual. What utter blasphemy.
Jorge
Mario Bergoglio, it appears, also has never heard of the work done by
such trained psychologists as Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, who had written to me
in 1993 after an article of mine appeared in The Wanderer dealing with a conciliar “monsignor’s” criticism of the conciliar Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s Some considerations concerning the response to legislative proposals on the non-discrimination of homosexual persons,
July 23, 1992 (the document was, of course, couched in conciliarspeak
even though it made some very valid points). That article was a
follow-up to a piece that had been published about then President
William Jefferson Blythe Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy
started to make the entirety of the command leadership of the United
States Department of Defense and of the military services a preserve of
the Homosexual Collective.
I
had made the point in my commentary of twenty-five years ago about the
conciliar “monsignor’s” criticism of his false religious sect’s
doctrinal congregation’s 1992 document that homosexual behavior is
acquired, not innate, and it was this that prompted Dr. Nicolosi to
write to me to affirm this view and to inform me of his own work of
curing practicing homosexuals. (For an overview of Dr. Nicolosi’s work,
please see http://josephnicolosi.com/)
Here
is just a short excerpt of a study done by a colleague of Dr.
Nicolosi’s at the National Association for Research and Therapy of
Homosexuality:
Eight
major studies of identical twins in Australia, the U.S., and
Scandinavia during the last two decades all arrive at the same
conclusion: gays were not born that way. “At best genetics is a minor
factor,” says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD. Whitehead worked for the New
Zealand government as a scientific researcher for 24 years, then spent
four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic
Energy Agency. Most recently, he serves as a consultant to Japanese
universities about the effects of radiation exposure. His PhD is in
biochemistry and statistics.
Identical
twins have the same genes or DNA. They are nurtured in equal prenatal
conditions. If homosexuality is caused by genetics or prenatal
conditions and one twin is gay, the co-twin should also be gay. “Because
they have identical DNA, it ought to be 100%,” Dr. Whitehead notes. But
the studies reveal something else. “If an identical twin has same-sex
attraction the chances the co-twin has it are only about 11% for men and
14% for women.”
Because
identical twins are always genetically identical, homosexuality cannot
be genetically dictated. “No-one is born gay,” he notes. “The
predominant things that create homosexuality in one identical twin and
not in the other have to be post-birth factors.” (Born That Way?)
Jorge
Mario Bergoglio cares nothing for the truths of the Order of Redemption
(Grace) nor for the truths of the Order of Creation (Nature). Although
his immediate two predecessors, Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II and Joseph
Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, used slogans (“Saint John Paul II’s”
“living tradition; Ratzinger/Benedict’s “hermeneutic of continuity”) to
repackage Modernist’s precept of dogmatic evolution, the Argentine
Apostate simply declares whatever happens to comes to him randomly to be
part of his official “magisterium.” His entire belief system is
premised on pure visceral feelings without any rationality even on the
natural level, to say nothing of any respect for that which has been
revealed by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to His true Church
for Its eternal safekeeping and infallible explication.
We
are eyewitnesses to sixty-two months, eleven days of a well-planned
strategy to “go to the peripheries” as Bergoglio has used various phone
calls, letters and private audiences to give support and encouragement
to unrepentant sinners, several of whom had been given admonitions by
right-thinking presbyters to reform their lives and to confess their
sins. Juvenile delinquent that he is, Jorge Mario Bergoglio takes as
much glee in doing this as he does from sending his inquisitors to
persecute believing Catholics in the conciliar structures such as the
Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Immaculate. “Pope Francis” just
loves to “make a mess” and upset the conciliar apple cart and thus to
make life difficult for the “Pharisees” within his ranks to mount any
kind of defense, no matter how compromised or corrupted by conciliarism,
of the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law.
One
of Jorge’s first such ventures occurred in the summer of 2013 when he
telephoned Christopher Trutino, a Frenchman who based his
self-identification upon his inclination to commit sins of unnatural
vice in defiance of the binding precepts of the Sixth and Ninth
Commandments:
Then
on Friday, Mr. Lombardi denied newspaper reports in France that the
pope had called a young Catholic gay man in Toulouse to reassure him.
The man, Christopher Trutino, a 25-year-old salesclerk, had told a local
paper, La Dépêche du Midi, that after he wrote a letter to the pope
explaining his struggles to reconcile his sexuality and faith, Francis
phoned him to counsel him. “Your homosexuality, it doesn’t matter,” he
recalled the pope saying. “One way or another, we are all children of
God.”
Some
on Twitter and elsewhere on the Internet greeted reports of the call as
a welcome change in the doctrinal rigidity of the church on the issue
of homosexuality. But the Vatican’s denial of the reports fanned
speculation that the call had been a hoax, while also prompting some to
question whether the Vatican was dissembling to distance itself from a
delicate topic.
Mr.
Trutino is avoiding the media, and could not be reached for comment on
Monday. But Cyril Doumergue, the journalist from La Dépêche du Midi who
interviewed him, said he had sounded authentic and genuinely moved. But
he said he believed Mr. Trutino may have been deceived. He said the
young man told the newspaper that during the call — which he said began
at 2 p.m. — the pope explained that he would later be receiving King
Abdullah II of Jordan. But Ansa, the Italian news agency, said the king
arrived at 11 a.m. and the meeting was over by 12:06 p.m.
“Christopher did not record the conversation, so it is impossible to know 100 percent what happened,” Mr. Doumergue said. (Francis is on the line and everyone's talking.)
Contrary
to what "Father" Federico Lombardi, S.J., tried to claim, it was within
a few short days that Jorge himself admitted the phone call and its
contents in his now infamous interview with "Father" Antonio Spadoro,
S.J.:
“Another
example from recent days that I saw got the attention of newspapers:
the phone call I made to a young man who wrote me a letter. I called him
because that letter was so beautiful, so simple. For me this was an act
of generativity. I realized that he was a young man who is growing,
that he saw in me a father, and that the letter tells something of his
life to that father. The father cannot say, ‘I do not care.’ This type
of fruitfulness is so good for me.” (A Big Heart Open to God, America Magazine.)
Bergoglio
thus admitted to “Father” Antonio Spadoro, S.J., in Interview Number
Two in September of 2013 what Vatican spokesflack and spinmeister
“Father” Federico Lombardi, S.J., had denied when news of the infamous
phone call had first become public two weeks beforehand, and he made
news two years later when he met two sodomite friends of his who had
gotten civilly “married” in Argentina:
Here is a report on the meeting with that so-called “gay couple”:
VATICAN CITY — Ever since it became public that Pope Francis met
in Washington with Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to
issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples, the questions have been
swirling: Why did he meet with her, and was it meant as a political
statement?
As it turns out, the Vatican said on Friday, the
pope did not mean to endorse Ms. Davis’s views. It also said he gave
her no more than a typical brief greeting, despite what her lawyer
described.
Instead,
the Vatican said that Francis gave only one “real audience”: to someone
later identified as one of his former students, Yayo Grassi,
a gay man in Washington who says he brought his partner of 19 years to
the Vatican’s embassy in Washington for a reunion. They even shot video.
The
disclosure, after the Vatican’s unusual attempt to correct the
impressions left by Francis’ meeting with Ms. Davis, added to days of
speculation about whether Francis intended to send a message on the
place of gays in the church, or conscientious objection, and whether his
advisers had fully briefed him on Ms. Davis, or had their own agenda.
The
Vatican spokesman emphasized that the meeting with Ms. Davis was
arranged by the office of the Vatican’s ambassador in Washington, not by
anyone in Rome — including the pope.
“The
pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis, and
his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her
position in all of its particular and complex aspects,” the Rev.
Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said in a statement released Friday morning.
On the other hand, Mr. Grassi,
a 67-year-old caterer, told The New York Times that he and the pontiff
have known each other since the 1960s, when Jorge Mario Bergoglio, as
the future pope was then called, taught him literature and psychology at
the Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepción, a Jesuit high school in Santa Fe, Argentina.
Mr.
Grassi said that he had resumed contact with the future pope years
later, when he was the archbishop of Buenos Aires. He also visited the
pope at the Vatican in September 2013, and later contacted his office to
ask for an audience in Washington.
“Once
I saw how busy and exhausting his schedule was in D.C., I wrote back to
him saying perhaps it would be better to meet some other time,” Mr.
Grassi said. “Then he called me on the phone and he told me that he
would love to give me a hug in Washington.”
Mr.
Grassi said that he had been accompanied by his partner of 19 years,
Iwan Bagus, as well as four friends, and that the meeting took place at
the Vatican Embassy on Sept. 23 — a day before Ms. Davis met the pope.
Mr.
Grassi said that Francis had told him to arrange the visit through the
office of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the papal nuncio, or envoy, in
Washington.
It
was a private meeting, for about 15 to 20 minutes, in which I brought
my boyfriend of 19 years,” Mr. Grassi said. His boyfriend, Mr. Bagus,
worked on a video that was posted online that showed Francis hugging Mr. Grassi and the others.
Mr.
Grassi said the meeting was purely personal. “I don’t think he was
trying to say anything in particular,” Mr. Grassi said. “He was just
meeting with his ex-student and a very close friend of his.”
Late
on Friday, the Vatican confirmed the meeting. “Mr. Yayo Grassi, a
former Argentine student of Pope Francis, who had already met other
times in the past with the pope, asked to present his mother and several
friends to the Pope during the Pope’s stay in Washington, D.C.,” Father
Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said in a statement.
“As
noted in the past, the pope, as pastor, has maintained many personal
relationships with people in a spirit of kindness, welcome and
dialogue,” the statement added.
Earlier
on Friday, the Vatican said that Archbishop Viganò had arranged the
pope’s meetings in Washington, including the one with Ms. Davis.
The
news of the meeting with Ms. Davis was disclosed late Tuesday night by
Ms. Davis’s lawyer, Mathew D. Staver, at the same time it was reported
on the website of Inside the Vatican, a conservative publication edited by an American who has covered the Vatican for years.
For
nearly eight hours, Vatican officials refused to confirm or deny that
the meeting had occurred, before finally confirming it on Wednesday
afternoon.
For
Francis, the timing of the Davis controversy is not ideal. Beginning
Sunday the Vatican is staging a critical three-week meeting of bishops
and laypeople to discuss whether to recommend changing their approach to
contemporary issues related to the family, like gay couples, single
parents or whether divorced and remarried Catholics who have not
obtained annulments should be allowed to receive communion.
That
meeting, known as a synod, could become a showdown between liberals and
conservatives. Francis has spent nearly two years trying to gradually
build consensus and has repeatedly stated his desire for a more
welcoming, merciful outreach — even as he has not signaled any
willingness to change church doctrine.
News
of his meeting with Ms. Davis buoyed Christian conservatives, who had
been dismayed that the pope, in his emphasis on the poor, barely
mentioned issues like abortion and homosexuality during his visit to
Washington, New York and Philadelphia. It also puzzled and angered more
liberal observers.
It also led observers of the Vatican to speculate about
whether the encounter with Ms. Davis was a signal of support for her
cause. Francis has emphasized that he strongly believes in conscientious
objection as a human right, a position he reaffirmed on his plane ride
home.
On
Friday, the Vatican appeared to be distancing itself from Ms. Davis’s
camp. Father Lombardi’s statement said that the brief meeting “has
continued to provoke comments and discussion,” and that he was providing
clarification “in order to contribute to an objective understanding of
what transpired.”
The Vatican’s statement prompted reactions on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a phone interview on Friday, Mr. Staver said the meeting had been called by the Vatican.
“This
was a private meeting initiated by the Vatican,” Mr. Staver said. “My
contacts were Vatican officials in the United States. And I was informed
the request came directly from the pontiff.”
Mr. Staver said the request had come on Sept. 14, the day Ms. Davis returned to work after
her release from jail. Ms. Davis and her husband were picked up at the
Omni Shoreham Hotel in a tan van by private security guards who spoke
Italian, he said. She had been instructed to change her hairstyle so she
would not be identified.
Mr.
Staver said Ms. Davis was not among a large group of people meeting the
pope. She saw no one else waiting to see the pope and no one else saw
her. “Just think about it. If she was in a line, there is no way this
could have been kept secret for five days,” he said.

But
at the Vatican on Friday, a spokesman, the Rev. Thomas Rosica, said the
invitation had been extended by the nuncio’s office — not from Rome.
“Who
brought her in? The nuncio,” said Father Rosica, who is working with
the Vatican’s media office in advance of a major meeting of bishops that
begins this weekend. “The Nunciature was able to bring in donors,
benefactors.”
Father
Rosica said of the controversy: “I would simply say: Her case is a very
complex case. It’s got all kinds of intricacies. Was there an
opportunity to brief the pope on this beforehand? I don’t think so. A
list is given — these are the people you are going to meet.”
Mr.
Staver, for his part, said he had been briefly introduced to Archbishop
Viganò in April, when he spoke at a large rally in Washington againstsame-sex marriage, before the Supreme Court ruled on the issue.
The Rev. James Martin, editor at large of the Jesuit magazine America, had cautioned in an article this week that the pope meets many well-wishers on his trips, and that news of the meeting with Ms. Davis had been manipulated.
“I
was very disappointed to see the pope having been used that way, and
that his willingness to be friendly to someone was turned against him,”
Father Martin said in an interview on Friday. “What may originally have
prevented them from issuing a statement was the desire not to give this
story too much air. But what they eventually came to realize was that
they needed to correct.
Asked
on Friday if the Vatican press office had been unaware that Ms. Davis
had met the pope, Father Rosica said: “No, but I think we may not have
been aware of the full impact of the meeting. It is very difficult
sometimes when you are looking at things in America from here.”
A
receptionist who answered the phone at the Vatican Embassy in
Washington on Friday said, “The nuncio does not deny that the meeting
took place, but would not make any further comment.”
She said the embassy did not have its own spokesman, and that no other officials there would comment.
Archbishop
Viganò is turning 75 in January, the age at which bishops must submit a
formal request to the Vatican asking for permission to resign. These
requests are not automatically accepted, and bishops often stay in their
appointments well past age 75. But if Archbishop Viganò is held
responsible for what is seen as a grave misstep on an important papal
trip, he is likely to be removed at the first respectable opportunity,
according to several church analysts.
“Nobody
in the Catholic Church wants another Regensburg,” said Massimo
Faggioli, an associate professor of theology and director of the
Institute for Catholicism and Citizenship at the University of St.
Thomas in St. Paul. He was referring to the backlash after Pope Benedict
XVI, Francis’ predecessor, gave a speech in Regensburg, Germany, that appeared to denigrate Islam.
“This
was not as serious as Regensburg, when Benedict read his own speech,”
Dr. Faggioli said about the meeting attended by Ms. Davis. “But the pope
has to be able to rely on his own system, and in this case the system
failed him. The question is, was it a mistake, or was it done with full
knowledge of how toxic she was?”
The
meeting with Ms. Davis was clearly a misstep, Dr. Faggioli said,
“because the whole trip to the United States he very carefully didn’t
want to give the impression that he was being politicized by any side.”
He added, “And this thing is the most politicized thing that you can imagine.” (Before Clerk, an Antipapal Hug for a Gay Friend.)
I quoted this entire story to give readers a full appreciation of how far from the sensus Catholicus Bergoglio
and his fellow travelers in the false religious sect of conciliarism
are in the practical course of daily events. These apostates are so
bereft of the Catholic Faith that their very first instinct is to
indemnify wanton sinners and leftist ideologues while vilifying those
who dare to criticize or make life “uncomfortable” for such people.
Furthermore,
the contention made by Dr. Massimo Faggioli that Jorge’s meeting with
Kim Davis was not as bad as “Regensburg” was a remarkable concession
that it was as “unacceptable” and “incendiary” for Joseph
Ratzinger/Benedict XVI to state even an attenuated version of the truth
of Mohammedanism as being an irrational religion prone to violence in an
address he gave Regensburg, Germany, on September 12, 2006, the Feast
of the Holy Name of Mary, as it was for “Pope Francis” to have been put
in the “untenable” position of meeting with the “toxic” Kim Davis. Any
kind of opposition to the gaystapo agenda is considered to be an act of
“violence” against a supposedly “legitimate” classification of human
beings even though human identity is not based on one’s proclivity to
commit any particular sin, less yet those that are unnatural and cry out
to Heaven for vengeance.
The
conciliar Vatican went to extraordinary lengths to throw Carlo Maria
Vignano, Kim Davis and Matthew Staver under the bus while celebrating
the fact that Bergoglio (a) invited his former student, Yayo Grassi, and
his “partner” in unnatural vice, Iwan Bagus, and (b) the video shows
the false “pontiff” hugging both men and kissing them on their cheeks!
Thus, there is really nothing terribly “new” about Bergoglio’s saying that God “made” the Chilean man a homosexual.
Sure,
it is an egregious blasphemy and a lie on the natural level as
sodomites choose to be such, especially at a time when there is such
extensive proselytizing and programming in all aspects of popular
culture, starting with “educational” programs as early as the pre-school
level.
Only
the willfully blind can deny that Jorge Mario Bergoglio continues to
advance the agenda of the Homosexual Collective because he believes that
there is nothing inherently wrong with perverse sins against the Sixth
and Ninth Commandments. What is wrong, the Argentine Apostate believes,
is the condemnation of those who are expressing their “love” in ways
that require “acceptance” and “accompaniment.”
This
open support for the agenda of perversity, which is being continued by
the administration of President Donald John Trump, albeit in less overt
but nevertheless concrete ways than by the administration of his
fascistic predecessor, Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro/Master of
Political Manipulation and Coups d’Etat (Pence Swears In Trump's Most Prominent Sodomite as Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany), within the counterfeit church of conciliarism has been the very basis of this false religious sect’s liturgical revolution.
Who is anyone to judge, Jorge?
Well, what about God Himself, Who visited fire and brimstone upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha?
And
when the men rose up from thence, they turned their eyes towards Sodom:
and Abraham walked with them, bringing them on the way. And the Lord
said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do: Seeing he shall
become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the
earth shall be blessed? For I know that he will command his children,
and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment
and justice: that for Abraham's sake the Lord may bring to effect all
the things he hath spoken unto him. And the Lord said: The cry of Sodom
and Gomorrha is multiplied, and their sin is become exceedingly
grievous.
I
will go down and see whether they have done according to the cry that
is come to me: or whether it be not so, that I may know. And they turned
themselves from thence, and went their way to Sodom: but Abraham as yet
stood before the Lord. And drawing nigh he said: Wilt thou destroy the
just with the wicked? If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they
perish withal? and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the
fifty just, if they be therein? Far be it from thee to do this thing,
and to slay the just with the wicked, and for the just to be in like
case as the wicked, this is not beseeming thee: thou who judgest all the
earth, wilt not make this judgment.
And
the Lord said to him: If I find in Sodom fifty just within the city, I
will spare the whole place for their sake. And Abraham answered, and
said: Seeing I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord, whereas I am
dust and ashes. What if there be five less than fifty just persons? wilt
thou for five and forty destroy the whole city? And he said: I will not
destroy it, if I find five and forty. And again he said to him: But if
forty be found there, what wilt thou do? He said: I will not destroy it
for the sake of forty. Lord, saith he, be not angry, I beseech thee, if I
speak: What if thirty shall be found there? He answered: I will not do
it, if I find thirty there.
Seeing,
saith he, I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord. What if twenty be
found there? He said: I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty. I
beseech thee, saith he, be not angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more:
What if ten should be found there? And he said: I will not destroy it
for the sake of ten. And the Lord departed, after he had left speaking
to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place. (Genesis 16: 16-33)
And
he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to
destroy the city for which thou hast spoken. Make haste and be saved
there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore
the name of that city was called Segor. The sun was risen upon the
earth, and Lot entered into Segor. And the Lord rained upon Sodom and
Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he
destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants
of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth.
And
his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt. And
Abraham got up early in the morning and in the place where he had stood
before with the Lord, He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the
whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth
as the smoke of a furnace. (Genesis 19: 21-28.)
Although
apologists for all things lavender would have us believe that the sin
of Sodom was that of a “lack of hospitality,” we know this is yet
another Modernist myth designed to reaffirm those steeped in perverse
sins against nature in their freely chosen behavior until the time that
they meet Christ the King at the fearful moment of their Particular
Judgment.
Perhaps,
however, Bergoglio would have Catholics ignore Holy Mother Church's
condemnations of against homosexual behavior that are contained in the
very pages of Holy Scripture that were written the Divine Inspiration
the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost:
[13] If
any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an
abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be upon them. [14] If
any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a
heinous crime: he shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great
an abomination remain in the midst of you. [15] He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die, the beast also ye shall kill. (Leviticus 20: 13-15.)
And
into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is
worthy, and there abide till you go thence. And when you come into the
house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house. And if that house be
worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your
peace shall return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust
from your feet. Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. (Matthew 10: 11-15.)
For
this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their
women have changed the natural use into that use which is against
nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of
the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men
working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense
which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God
in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do
those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity,
malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder,
contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, Detractors, hateful to God,
contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to
parents, foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity,
without mercy. Who, having known the
justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are
worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that
consent to them that do them. (Romans 1: 18-32.)
[9] Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, [10] Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God. (1 Cor. 6: 9)
[6] And
the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own
habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto
the judgment of the great day. [7] As
Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having
given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made
an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. [8] In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty. [9] When
Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the
body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing
speech, but said: The Lord command thee. [10] But
these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things
soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are
corrupted. (Jude 1 6-10.)
Does
the Catholic Church have to apologize for the Book of Leviticus, for
the words of Our Lord Himself, for the writings of Saint Paul the
Apostle and for that of Saint Jude Thaddeus, our dear Patron of Hopeless
Cases, who was blessed to carry the Holy Shroud adorned with the Holy
Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ upon it?
Ever
the revolutionary, Jorge Mario Bergoglio has adopted the language of
the homosexual collective, whose members are filled with bitter anger
and hatred at anyone who dares to criticize their "lifestyles" as they
are, whether or not they realize it, in rebellion against the very
nature that God has implanted within them and have thus done what all
revolutionaries do to justify themselves before men: to do violence to
language in order to cloud supernatural and natural truth with a fog of
irrationality and sentimentality.
It is shameful that one conciliar official after another has adopted this language, thereby conceding that one can identify
himself on the basis of the inclination to and/or the commission of
perverse sins against nature and the Sixth and Ninth Commandments and
that civil society and must treat such self-identification as a
legitimate basis for social interaction and legal protection under
various "civil rights" statutes and ordinances.
Then
again, obviously, many conciliar officials, not a few of them afflicted
with perversity themselves, have gone of their way created, fostered
and promote a culture that has sustained and propagated the entire
agenda of homosexual collective, including "marriage" and, quite
importantly, persecuting anyone who criticizes sodomy for what it is.
There has been the systematic recruitment, retention and promotion of
homosexuals through the nooks and crannies of the conciliar structures,
including its hierarchy, such as it is, and within parishes, schools,
universities, colleges, seminaries, professional schools, religious
houses and houses of so-called "spiritual formation." I suggest that
those who have any doubt about this fact should consider the massive
amount of documented evidence that Mrs. Randy Engel amassed in The Rite of Sodomy,
which has an entire chapter devoted to the horrors of "New Ways
Ministry," welcomed as it is at this time by the conciliar
revolutionaries in the Vatican itself.
Thus
it is that the counterfeit church of concilairism, reflecting its
"openness to the world" and its falsehoods, has bought into the ideology
of the homosexual collective by building it into programs that are
taught to presbyters, teachers and children, doing so with an special
application to "touching" and expressions of "affection" when the
problem of clergy abuse that has exploded into full public view in the
past sixteen years now has been caused by the creation of an entire
environment that is friendly to perversity. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is
simply saying, therefore, what he has been conditioned to say by the
whole rotten ambiance of conciliarism. He is a creature of error and
licentiousness, believing that the only "sins" one can commit revovle
around being "rigid" in one's "positions" and to be "clear-cut" in one's
thinking about truth and heresy, moral right and moral wrong.
Our true popes condemned heresy and error. They condemned moral wrong for what it is without any "nuancing" of issues.
So have our saints, including Saint Peter Damian and Pope Leo IX.
Saint
Peter Damian's Book of Gommorha explained the detestable nature of the
sin of Sodom, something that Mrs. Engel made clear in The Rite of Sodomy:
According to Damian, the vice of sodomy "surpasses the enormity of all others," because:
"Without fail, it brings death to the body and destruction to the soul. It pollutes the flesh, extinguishes the light of the mind, expels the Holy Spirit from the temple of the human heart, and gives entrance to the devil, the stimulator of lust. It leads to error, totally removes truth from the deluded mind ... It opens up hell and closes the gates of paradise ... It is this vice that violates temperance, slays modesty, strangles chastity, and slaughters virginity ... It defiles all things, sullies all things, pollutes all things ... This vice excludes a man from the assembled choir of the Church ... it separates the soul from God to associate it with demons. This utterly diseased queen of Sodom renders him who obeys the laws of her tyranny infamous to men and odious to God... She strips her knights of the armor of virtue, exposing them to be pierced by the spears of every vice ... She humiliates her slave in the church and condemns him in court; she defiles him in secret and dishonors him in public; she gnaws at his conscience like a worm and consumes his flesh like fire. ... this unfortunate man (he) is deprived of all moral sense, his memory fails, and the mind's vision is darkened. Unmindful of God, he also forgets his own identity. This disease erodes the foundation of faith, saps the vitality of hope, dissolves the bond of love. It makes way with justice, demolishes fortitude, removes temperance, and blunts the edge of prudence. Shall I say more?"
No, dearest St. Peter Damian, I think not.
Like every saint before him, and every saint that will ever come after him, St. Peter Damian exhorts the cleric caught in the vice of sodomy to repent and reform his life and in the words of the Blessed Apostle Paul, "Wake up from your sleep and rise from the dead, and Christ will revive (enlighten) you." (Eph 5:14) In a remarkable affirmation of the Gospel message, he warns against the ultimate sin of despairing of God's mercy and the necessity of fasting and prayer to subdue the passions:
"... beware of drowning in the depths of despondency. Your heart should beat with confidence in God's love and not grow hard and impenitent, in the face of your great crime. It is not sinners, but the wicked who should despair; it is not the magnitude of one's crime, but contempt of God that dashes one's hopes."
Then, in one of the most beautiful elocutions on the grandeur of priestly celibacy and chastity ever written, Damian reminds the wayward cleric or monk of the special place reserved in Heaven for those faithful priests and monks who have willingly forsaken all and made themselves eunuchs for Christ's sake. Their names shall be remembered forever because they have given up all for the love of God, he says.
One of the very interesting historical sidebars to Damian's treatise is that he made no preference to the popular practice of distinguishing "notorious" from "non-notorious" cases of clerical immorality--a policy which can be traced back to the 9th century and the canonical reforms on ecclesiastical and clerical discipline by the great German Benedictine scholar and Archbishop of Mainz, Blessed Maurus Magnentius Rabanus (776?-856). Under this policy, the removal of clerics found guilty of criminal acts including sodomy, depended on whether or not his offense was publicly known, or was carried out and confessed in secret.
In cases that had become "notorious," the offending cleric was defrocked and/or handed over to the secular authorities for punishment. But if his crime was known only to a few persons such as his confessor or religious superior, the offending cleric was privately reprimanded, served a penance and then was permitted to continue at his post, or transferred to a similar post in a different diocese. Given the aggressive and predatory nature of the vice of sodomy, it is highly likely that such a policy contributed to, rather than inhibited, sodomical practices among clerics and religious between the mid-800s and the early 1000s. In any case, it was unlikely that Damian, who openly expressed his condemnation of too lenient canonical regulations related to the punishment of clerical sodomites and was so judicious in preserving the integrity of the priesthood and religious life, would have approved such a policy.
Saints are realists, which is no doubt why St. Peter Damian anticipated that his "small book" which exposes and denounces homosexual practices in all ranks of the clergy including the hierarchy, would cause a great commotion in the Church. And it did.
In anticipation of harsh criticism, the holy monk puts forth his own defense as a 'whistle-blower'. He states that his would-be critics will accuse him of "being an informer and a delator of my brother's crimes," but, he says, he has no fear of either "the hatred of evil men or the tongues of detractors."
Hear, dear reader, the words of St. Peter Damian that come thundering down to us through the centuries at a time in the Church when many shepherds are silent while clerical wolves, some disguised in miters and brocade robes, devour its lambs and commit sacrilege against their own spiritual sons:
"... I would surely prefer to be thrown into the well like Joseph who informed his father of his brothers' foul crime, than to suffer the penalty of God's fury, like Eli, who saw the wickedness of his sons and remained silent. (Sam 2:4) ... Who am I, when I see this pestilential practice flourishing in the priesthood to become the murderer of another's soul by daring to repress my criticism in expectation of the reckoning of God's judgement? ... How, indeed, am I to love my neighbor as myself if I negligently allow the wound, of which I am sure he will brutally die, to fester in his heart? ... "So let no man condemn me as I argue against this deadly vice, for I seek not to dishonor, but rather to promote the advantage of my brother's well-being. "Take care not to appear partial to the delinquent while you persecute him who sets him straight. If I may be pardoned in using Moses' words, 'Whoever is for the Lord, let him stand with me.' (Ezek 32:26)"
As he draws his case against the vice of clerical sodomy to a close, St. Peter Damian pleads with another future saint, Pope Leo IX, urging the Vicar of Christ to use his office to reform and strengthen the decrees of the sacred canons with regard to the disposition of clerical sodomites including religious superiors and bishops who sexually violate their spiritual sons.
Damian asks the Holy Father to "diligently" investigate the four forms of the vice of sodomy cited at the beginning of his treatise and then provides him (Damian) with definitive answers to the following questions by which the "darkness of uncertainty" might be dispelled and an "indecisive conscience" freed from error:
1) Is one who is guilty of these crimes to be expelled irrevocably from holy orders?
2) Whether at a prelate's discretion, moreover, one might mercifully be allowed to function in office?
3) To what extent, both in respect to the methods mentioned above and to the number of lapses, is it permissible to retain a man in the dignity of ecclesiastical office?
4) Also, if one is guilty, what degree and what frequency of guilt should compel him under the circumstances to retire?
Damian closes his famous letter by asking Almighty God to use Pope Leo IX's pontificate "to utterly destroy this monstrous vice" that a prostrate Church may everywhere rise to vigorous stature." (Mrs. Randy Engel, The Rite of Sodomy, pp. 53-55)
Does Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis want to destroy this monstrous vice?
Hardly.
He wants to befriend those who attracted to it and to see it "mainstreamed" in society, which is pretty much a fait accompli these days (see, for example, Irreversible By Means Merely Human. and Arguing About Who Decides That Which Is Beyond Humans To Decide, part one, Arguing About Who Decides That Which Is Beyond Humans To Decide, part two, Arguing About Who Decides That Which Is Beyond Humans To Decide, part three, andArguing Who Decides That Which is Beyond Humans To Decide, part four)
By contrast, consider how Pope Leo IX responded to the report presented to him by Saint Peter Damian:
The
approximate date that Damian delivered the Book of Gomorrah to Pope Leo
IX is generally held to be the second half of the first year of the
pontiff's reign, i.e., mid-1049, although some writers put the date as
late as 1051. We do know, absolutely, that the Pope did respond to
Damian's concerns, as that response in the form of a lengthy letter (JL
4311; ItPont 4.94f., no.2) is generally attached to manuscripts of the
work.
Pope Leo IX opens his letter to "his beloved son in Christ, Peter the hermit," with warm salutations and a recognition of Damian's pure, upright and zealous character. He agrees with Damian that clerics, caught up in the "execrable vice" of sodomy "verily and most assuredly will have no share in his inheritance, from which by their voluptuous pleasures they have withdrawn. " Such clerics, indeed profess, if not in words, at least by the evidence of their actions, that they are not what they are thought to be," he declares.
Reiterating the category of the four forms of sodomy that Damian lists, [59] the Holy Father declares that it is proper that by "our apostolic authority" we intervene in the matter so that "all anxiety and doubt be removed from the minds of your readers".
"So let it be certain and evident to all that we are in agreement with everything your book contains, opposed as it is like water to the fire of the devil," the Pope continues. "Therefore, lest the wantonness of this foul impurity be allowed to spread unpunished, it must be repelled by proper repressive action of apostolic severity, and yet some moderation must be placed on its harshness," he states.
Next, Pope Leo IX gives a detailed explanation of the Holy See's authoritative ruling on the matter.
In light of divine mercy, the Holy Father commands, without contradiction, that those who, of their own free will, have practiced solitary or mutual masturbation or defiled themselves by interfemoral coitus, but who have not done so for any length of time, nor with many others, shall retain their status, after having "curbed their desires" and "atoned for their infamous deeds with proper repentance".
However,
the Holy See removes all hope for retaining their clerical status from
those who alone or with others for a long time, or even a short period
with many, "have defiled themselves by either of the two kinds of
filthiness which you have described, or, which is horrible to hear or
speak of, have sunk to the level of anal intercourse."
He warns potential critics, that those who dare to criticize or attack the apostolic ruling stand in danger of losing their rank. And so as to make it clear to whom this warning is directed, the Pope immediately adds, "For he who does not attack vice, but deals with it lightly, is rightly judged to be guilty of his death, along with the one who dies in sin."
Pope Leo IX praises Damian for teaching by example and not mere words, and concludes his letter with the beautiful hope that when, with God's help, the monk reaches his heavenly abode, he may reap his rewards and be crowned, "Ö in a sense, with all those who were snatched by you from the snares of the devil."
Clearly, on the objective immorality of sodomical acts, both Damian and Pope Leo IX were in perfect accord with one another. However, in terms of Church discipline, the pope appears to have taken exception with Damian's appeal for the wholesale deposition of all clerics who commit sodomical acts. I say, appears, because I believe that even in the matter of punishing known clerical offenders, both men were more in agreement than not.
Certainly, Damian, who was renown for his exemplary spiritual direction of the novitiates and monks entrusted to his care, was not unaware of certain mitigating circumstances that would diminish if not totally remove the culpability of individuals charged with the crime of sodomy.
For
example, as with certain clerical sex abuse cases that have come to
light today involving the Society of St. John and the Legionaries of
Christ, which the Holy See has yet to investigate, some novices or monks
may have been forced or pressured by their superiors to commit such
acts. No doubt, it is circumstances such as these that prompted Pope Leo
IX to use the term, "who of his own free will" in describing a cleric
guilty of sodomy. Also among the four varieties of sodomy Damian
discusses in his treatise, he states that interfemoral and anal coitus
are to be judged more serious than solitary or mutual masturbation.
All in all, what this writer found to be most remarkable about the pope's letter to Damian, was the absolutist position Pope Leo IX took concerning the ultimate responsibility of the offending cleric's bishop or religious superior. If the latter criticized or attacked this apostolic decree, he risked losing his rank! Prelates who fail to "attack vice, but deal lightly with it," share the guilt and sentence of the one who dies in sin, the pope declared. (Mrs. Randy Engel, The Rite of Sodomy, pp. 57-58)
Writing
five hundred years after Saint Peter Damian and Pope Leo IX, Pope Saint
Pius V explained the just penalty due clerics caught in the act of
unnatural vice:'
That
horrible crime, on account of which corrupt and obscene cities were
destroyed by fire through divine condemnation, causes us most bitter
sorrow and shocks our mind, impelling us to repress such a crime with
the greatest possible zeal.
Quite opportunely the Fifth Lateran Council [1512-1517] issued this decree: "Let any member of the clergy caught in that vice against nature . . . be removed from the clerical order or forced to do penance in a monastery" (chap. 4, X, V, 31). So that the contagion of such a grave offense may not advance with greater audacity by taking advantage of impunity, which is the greatest incitement to sin, and so as to more severely punish the clerics who are guilty of this nefarious crime and who are not frightened by the death of their souls, we determine that they should be handed over to the severity of the secular authority, which enforces civil law.
Therefore, wishing to pursue with the greatest rigor that which we have decreed since the beginning of our pontificate, we establish that any priest or member of the clergy, either secular or regular, who commits such an execrable crime, by force of the present law be deprived of every clerical privilege, of every post, dignity and ecclesiastical benefit, and having been degraded by an ecclesiastical judge, let him be immediately delivered to the to the secular authority to be put to death, as mandated by law as the fitting punishment for laymen who have sunk into this abyss. (Pope Saint Pius V,Horrendum illud scelus, August 30, 1568.)

(Pope Saint Pius V,Horrendum illud scelus, August 30, 1568.)
Death,
not "brotherhood" and "mainstreaming" for the sake of "inclusivity,"
was what Pope Saint Pius V, faithful to the teaching of Saint Paul the
Apostle in his Epistle to the Roman cited above, believed should be
imposed on the clergy as well as the laity who were caught in "such an
execrable crime" that caused him "such better sorrow" shocked his papal
mind as he sought to "repress such a crime with the greatest possible
zeal."
Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis and others in the conciliar structures want to provide "brotherhood" and "acceptance."
Just a slightly different approach, wouldn't you say?
A
true pope understood the horror of such a detestable sin on the part of
the clergy and sought to administer punishment to serve as a medicinal
corrective for other priests and to demonstrate to the laity the
horrific nature of such a moral crime.
A false "pope"seeks to appear as an agent of mercy when he is actually an apostle of eternal death.
Mind
you, I am not suggesting the revival of this penalty in a world where
it would not be understood and where the offender would be made a
"martyr" for the cause of perversity, only pointing out the fact that
the Catholic Church teaches that clerics and others in
ecclesiastical authority who are guilty of serious moral crimes are
deserving of punishment, not protection, by their bishops. Such is the
difference yet again between Catholicism and conciliarism.
It
is shameful that anyone would seek to provide a cover for a man who has
such disregard for the honor and glory and majesty of the Most Blessed
Trinity and who seeks to indemnify sinners in the name of what is
nothing other than a false mercy.
As
has been noted so frequently on this site in the past four years, three
months, twenty-four days since Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s ascent to power
within the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber
River, we are witnessing only the perfection of the inherent degeneracy
of conciliarism’s false teachings and its sacramentally barren
liturgical rites. It was only a matter of time for men who have
propagated grave doctrinal errors would come to propagate ever manner of
moral error imaginable in the name of a false “mercy” and “tolerance.”
The
counterfeit church of conciliarism is a false church. Its "pontiffs"
and "bishops" have given us a steady diet of apostasy, blasphemy and
sacrilege over the course of the past nearly fifty-nine years.
Once
again, Antichrist is not going to give his calling card. We are going
to have to use the faculty of reason, guided by the sensus Catholicus
and the clear teaching of the Catholic Church, to recognize who he his
and who has done his bidding for him in advance of his coming.
While God alone is the sole Judge of the subjective state of souls, He gave us the sensus fidei when
we were baptized in order to be able to recognize sin for what it is
and thus to amend our own lives when are tempted to sin or find
ourselves in the near occasion of sin. This sensus fidei also
provides us with the ability to perform the Spiritual Works of Mercy,
which includes, of course, admonishing the sinner. “Pope Francis” and
his “bishops” do not believe this. Indeed, they condemn those who do.
How is this not apostasy?
Catholics believe in the Spiritual Works of Mercy, Jorge. Here is a little review for you:
- To instruct the ignorant.
- To counsel the doubtful.
- To admonish sinners.
- To bear wrongs patiently;
- To forgive offences willingly;
- To comfort the afflicted;
- To pray for the living and the dead.
Catholics also believe that there are nine ways that they can be accessories to the sins of others:
- 1. By counsel.
- 2. By command.
- 3. By consent.
- 4. By provocation.
- 5. By praise or flattery of the evil done.
- 6. By silence.
- 7. By connivance.
- 8. By partaking.
- 9. By defense of the ill done.
Conciliarism
is by its very false nature uncharitable as it makes a mockery of the
authentic, immutable teaching that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ by making it appear that it is somehow opposed to tenderness and
mercy to follow these words that Saint Paul wrote in his Second Epistle
to Saint Timothy:
[1] I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: [2] Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. [3] For
there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but,
according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears: [4] And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. [5] But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober. (2 Tim. 4: 1-15.)
A
physician does not "judge" anyone if he warns him what might happen if
he does not stop engaging in a certain course of behavior that is
deleterious to his bodily health.
Similarly,
one who warns another about the state of his soul as he persists in a
life of unrepentant sin is simply performing a fundamental Spiritual
Work of Mercy, and those who are inclined to and/or steeped in perverse
sins against nature are not to be left without being remonstrated as
this is a duty of a Catholic before God and to the eternal and temporal
good of the sinner.
It
is one thing to sin and to be sorry and then to seek out the mercy of
the Divine Redeemer in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance. It is quite
another to persist in sin, no less perverse sins against nature,
unrepentantly and to expect others to reaffirm him in those sins,
whether explicitly by words of approval or implicitly by silence, which
betokens consent. Catholics must judge the states of their own souls
every night in their Examen of Conscience, and they have a duty to help
others to recognize the serious states of sin into which they have
plunged themselves, praying beforehand to God the Holy Ghost to fill
them with wisdom and prudence so as to provide a warning in such a way
that could plant a seed to get an unrepentant sinner to a true priest in
the Sacred Tribunal of Penance.
To
accept any of this as coming from the Catholic Church is to admit that
she can propagate heresy and error to tickle the ears of Catholics and
non-Catholics alike while scandalizing many Protestants and even
Orthodox Jews by daring to assert that sinful behavior, whether natural
or unnatural, contains "elements of true love" that can "teach" the
"Church" about the "meaning" of "love" and "families" in our "modern"
age.
Those
who are unchaste must be exhorted to quit their immoral behavior,
seeking out the Mercy of the Divine Redeemer in the Sacred Tribunal of
Penance at the hands of a true priest as he acts in persona Christi as an alter Christus,
resolved from thence on to live penitentially as the consecrated slaves
of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate
Heart of Mary, praying as many Rosaries each day as their state-in-life
permits. You will hear no such exhortations from the lips of the
conciliar "bishops," staring with Jorge Mario Bergoglio himself.
We
do not base human self-identification on the basis of an inclination to
commit various sins. If we did, of course, perhaps we could refer to
the "blasphemers' community" and the "killers' community" and the
"thieves' community" and the "adulterers' community" and the "gossipers'
community" and the "enviers' community." (Well, come to think of it,
the counterfeit church of conciliarism is a collection of blasphemers,
isn't it?) Human self-identification is not based on the inclination to
commit any sins, and for Jorge Mario Bergoglio and his band of conciliar
revolutionaries to reaffirm those inclined to the commission of
perverse sins demonstrates that they, the conciliar revolutionaries, do
not understand that true love of God requires us will the good of
others. the ultimate good of others is the salvation of their immortal
souls, which they conciliar revolutionaries impede, not advance, as they
write about the "elements of true love" and concern that perverse
sinners have for each other than can "inspire" others by the
"sacrifices" they make for each other.
Let me reprise the following once again for those who have been away from this site for a while:
1) God's love for us is an act of His divine will, the ultimate expression of which is the salvation of our immortal souls.
2) Our love for others must be premised on willing for them what God wills for us: their salvation.
3)
We love no one authentically if we do or say anything, either by
omission or commission, which reaffirms him in a life of unrepentant
sin.
4)
God hates sin. He wills the sinner to repent of his sins by cooperating
with the graces He won for them on the wood of the Holy Cross.
5)
Sin is what caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer
unspeakable horrors on the wood of the Holy Cross and caused His Most
Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to be thrust through
with Seven Swords of Sorrow.
6)
No one can say that he loves Our Lord or Our Lady if he persist in sin
unrepentantly and/or celebrates the commission of sin in public acts of
defiance against the binding precepts of the Divine positive law and the
Natural Law.
7)
Each sin darkens the intellect and weakens the will, inclining us all
the more to sin and sin again. We must, therefore, resolve never to sin
again and to do penance for our sins as Our Lady herself implored us to
do when she appeared in th Cova da Iria near Fatima, Portugal, ninety
years ago.
8)
It is therefore forbidden for anyone of this parish or diocese to
participate or support, whether morally or financially, any event
whatsoever that celebrates any sin, whether natural or unnatural, and/or
encourages people to persist in sin as a legitimate "lifestyle."
9)
One of the Spiritual Works of Mercy is to admonish the sinner. We have
an obligation to admonish those who are in lives on unrepentant sin to
turn away from their lives of sin and to strive to pursue the heights of
sanctity.
10)
God has compassion on all erring sinners, meaning each one of us. He
understands our weakness. He exhorts us, as He exhorted the woman caught
in adultery, to "Go, and commit this sin no more."
11) It is not an act of "love" for people to persist in unrepentant sins with others.
12)
It is not an act of "judgmentalness" or "intolerance" to exhort people
who are living lives of unrepentant sin to reform their lives lest their
souls wind up in Hell for eternity.
13)
Mortal Sins cast out Sanctifying Grace from the soul. Those steeped in
unrepentant mortal sin are the captives of the devil until they make a
good and sincere Confession.
14) Certain sins cry out to Heaven for vengeance. Sodomy is one of the four sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.
15)
Those engaged in natural or unnatural acts against the Sixth and Ninth
Commandments do not "love" the individuals with whom they are sinning.
Authentic love cannot exist in a soul committed to a life against the
Commandments of God and the eternal welfare of one's own soul, no less
the souls of others.
16) Those engaged in natural or unnatural acts against the Sixth and Ninth Commandments are not fit to adopt children.
17)
Those engaged in natural or unnatural acts against the Sixth and Ninth
Commandments are not fit to adopt children because their very sinful
lives put into jeopardy the eternal of the souls of the children they
seek to adopt. It is not possible for people who are sinning
unrepentantly to teach children to hate sin as God hates sin. They are
immersed in sin. Pope Pius XI put it this way in Casti Connubii, December 31,1930:
But
Christian parents must also understand that they are destined not only
to propagate and preserve the human race on earth, indeed not only to
educate any kind of worshippers of the true God, but children who are to
become members of the Church of Christ, to raise up fellow-citizens of
the Saints, and members of God's household, that the worshippers of God
and Our Savior may daily increase. (Pope Pius XI, Casti Connubii, December 31,1930.)
18)
Those engaged in unnatural, perverse acts against the Sixth and Ninth
Commandments are further unfit to adopt children because they have no
right in the Divine positive law or the natural law to live together as a
"couple." Once again, Pope Pius XI's Casti Connubii:
Nor
must We omit to remark, in fine, that since the duty entrusted to
parents for the good of their children is of such high dignity and of
such great importance, every use of the faculty given by God for the
procreation of new life is the right and the privilege of the married
state alone, by the law of God and of nature, and must be confined
absolutely within the sacred limits of that state. (Pope Pius XI, Casti Connubii, December 31,1930.)
19)
Those engaged in unnatural, perverse acts against the Sixth and Ninth
Commandment have no right in the Divine positive law or the natural law
to present a "model" of parenthood that is from the devil himself. The
words that Saint Paul wrote about perversity in Rome in his own day are
quite apropos of our own:
Wherefore
God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to
dishonour their own bodies among themselves. Who changed the truth of
God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the
Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For
this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their
women have changed the natural use into that use against which is their
nature.
And
in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women,
have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working
that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which
was due to their error.
And
as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them
up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice,
wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity,
whisperers, detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, foolish, dissolute,
without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
Who,
having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do
such things are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but
they also that consent to them that do them. (Romans 1: 24-32)
20)
Matrimony was elevated to a Sacrament by Our Lord at the wedding feast
in Cana. The Holy Sacrament of Matrimony is entered into by one man and
by one woman to achieve these ends: the procreation and education of
children, the mutual good of the spouses, a remedy for concupiscence.
Pope Pius XI noted this in Casti Connubii:
This
conjugal faith, however, which is most aptly called by St. Augustine
the "faith of chastity" blooms more freely, more beautifully and more
nobly, when it is rooted in that more excellent soil, the love of
husband and wife which pervades all the duties of married life and holds
pride of place in Christian marriage. For matrimonial faith demands
that husband and wife be joined in an especially holy and pure love, not
as adulterers love each other, but as Christ loved the Church. This
precept the Apostle laid down when he said: "Husbands, love your wives
as Christ also loved the Church,"[24] that Church which of a truth He
embraced with a boundless love not for the sake of His own advantage,
but seeking only the good of His Spouse.[25] The love, then, of which We
are speaking is not that based on the passing lust of the moment nor
does it consist in pleasing words only, but in the deep attachment of
the heart which is expressed in action, since love is proved by deeds.
This outward expression of love in the home demands not only mutual help
but must go further; must have as its primary purpose that man and wife
help each other day by day in forming and perfecting themselves in the
interior life, so that through their partnership in life they may
advance ever more and more in virtue, and above all that they may grow
in true love toward God and their neighbor, on which indeed "dependeth
the whole Law and the Prophets." For all men of every condition, in
whatever honorable walk of life they may be, can and ought to imitate
that most perfect example of holiness placed before man by God, namely
Christ Our Lord, and by God's grace to arrive at the summit of
perfection, as is proved by the example set us of many saints.
This
mutual molding of husband and wife, this determined effort to perfect
each other, can in a very real sense, as the Roman Catechism teaches, be
said to be the chief reason and purpose of matrimony, provided
matrimony be looked at not in the restricted sense as instituted for the
proper conception and education of the child, but more widely as the
blending of life as a whole and the mutual interchange and sharing
thereof. (Pope Pius XI, Casti Connubii, December 31, 1930.)
21)
It is never permissible to put even one child into spiritual, if not
physical, jeopardy by claiming that so many others would be helped if
the Church did not cooperate with an unjust law. Our Lord said that it
would be better for one to have a millstone thrown around his neck and
thrown into a lake than to lead one of his little ones astray. He was
not joking.
22)
Sinners must repent of the evil they have done in order to live ives of
penance and mortification worthy of Saint Francis of Assisi. Pray as
many Rosaries as you can each day of our life. They must repent and pray
and work for the conversion of those with whom they have sinned, sure
to make a full, integral confession to a true piest in the Sacred
Tribunal of Penance on a weekly basis.
A Catholic bishop
would not hesitate to make these points. Although there are some true
bishops from the Eastern Rites present in Rome at this time, they are
one with the their brother “non-bishops” of the Roman Rite within the
counterfeit church of conciliarism as being completely bereft of the
Catholic Faith, thus leaving souls “happy” in this life to be condemned
for all eternity in Hell, the very place where the conciliar
revolutionaries themselves are headed if they do not have a miraculous
conversion to the true Faith before they die.
Ah,
Bergoglio is neither a Catholic nor a bishop. He is a man who fell from
the Faith long ago, dating back to the days he was scandalized by the
refusal of faithful Catholics to recognize the legitimacy of divorced
Catholics "marrying" again civilly. He is a suborner of sin because he
is A Man of Sin.
How do Catholics speak to sinners?
How did Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ speak to sinners whilst He walk the face of the earth?
Our
Lord did not reaffirm the woman caught in adutery her sin. He did not
applaud her. He did not excuse the gravity of violating the Sixth
Commandment. He did not explain away her sin by saying that she was
genetically-predisposed to commit it or that it was "impossible" for her
to keep from committing it. Our Lord, the Second Person of the Blessed
Trinity made Man in His Most Blessed Mother's Virginal and Immaculate
Womb by the power of the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God
the Holy Ghost, said the following to her:
Go, and now sin no more. (John 8: 11.)
Our Lord told His friend from Bethany to reform her life, to quit her sins once and for all. He tells us,
each of whom is a sinner (and I am one of the worst and most miserable,
truth be told) the same thing in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance as we
resolve to amend our lives as we pray the Act of Contrition as a true
priest administers Absolution upon our immortal souls, thereby applying
the merits His own Most Precious Blood upon them.
The
false mercy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, coupled with his denunciations of
faithful Catholics, comes at a time when sin is being justified and
enabled by the lords of Modernity, who deem as "haters" the very people
Bergoglio sees as "hypocrites." None other than the Patron Saint of
Moral Theologians, Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, a Doctor of Holy Mother
Church, had a few choice words about the delusions of the sorts of
unprentant sinners whom Bergoglio believes are "judged" by merciless
"hypocrites".
Consider the following passages from Saint Alphonsus de Ligouri’s sermon for Sexagesima Sunday:
The Devil brings sinners to hell by closing their eyes to the dangers of perdition.
He first blinds them, and then leads them with himself to eternal
torments. If, then, we wish to be saved, we must continually pray to God
in the words of the blind man in the gospel of this day,” Lord, that I
may see." Give me light: make me see the way in which I must walk in order
to save my soul, and to escape the deceits of the enemy of salvation. I
shall, brethren, this day place before your eyes the delusion by which
the devil tempts men to sin and to persevere in sin, that you may know
how to guard yourselves against his deceitful artifices
2.
To understand these delusions better, let us imagine the case of a
young man who, seized by some passion, lives in sin, the slave of Satan,
and never thinks of his eternal salvation. My son, I say to him, what
sort of life do you lead? If you continue to live in this manner, how
will you be able to save your soul? But, behold! the devil, on the other
hand, says to him: Why should you be afraid of being lost? Indulge your
passions for the present: you will afterwards confess your sins, and
thus all shall be remedied. Behold the net by which the devil drags so
many souls into hell. “Indulge your passions: you will hereafter make a
good confession." But, in reply, I say, that in the meantime you lose
your soul. Tell me: if you had a jewel worth a thousand pounds, would
you throw it into a river with the hope of afterwards finding it again?
What if all your efforts to find it were fruitless? God! you hold in
your hand the invaluable jewel of your soul, which Jesus Christ has
purchased with his own blood, and you cast it into hell! Yes; you cast
it into hell; because according to the present order of providence, for
every mortal sin you commit, your name is written among the number of
the damned. But you say.” I hope to recover God’s grace by making a good
confession." And if you should not recover it, what shall be the
consequences? To make a good confession, a true sorrow for sin is
necessary, and this sorrow is the gift of God: if he does not give it,
will you not be lost for ever? ("The Delusions of Sinners: Sermon for
Quinquagesima Sunday," as found in Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, The Sermons of Saint Alphonsus Liguori For All the Sundays of the Year, republished by TAN Books and Publishers in 1982, pp. 118-119.)
The
conciliar revolutionaries, of course, live in a delusional world. Their
world is so delusion that they do not even tell the unrepentant sinner
that he has to make a good confession, not that the thought of doing so enters into the minds of most unrepentant sinners today.
Bergoglio
embraces and enables the very crimes of Modernity that have contributed
to the natural disasters of our present age, and he bears direct
responsibility for the crimes of Modernism as advanced by the counterfeit church of conciliarism.
Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres explained the connection between the sins of men and natural disasters and tragedies:
While
the founding mothers admired Mother Mariana's perfect observance of the
rule and practice of virtue, there were other sisters who were stirred
by jealousy. Mother Marina suffered insults and persecutions form those
sisters without ever trying to justify herself or protest. Only at the
foot of the Tabernacle did she confide her secret sorrows to her
Beloved. One day in 1582, as she was praying before the altar, she saw
the Tabernacle open and Christ Himself emerged, suffering as He had at
Golgotha. The Blessed Virgin, at His feet, was shedding tears of pearls.
Mother Mariana asked her, "My Lady, am I do blame for this sadness?"
"No,
she replied, "it is not you, but the criminal world." Then as Our Lord
began His Agony, she heard the voice of the Eternal Father saying, "This
punishment will be for the 20th century." She saw three swords hanging
over the head of Christ. On each was written, "I shall punish heresy, blasphemy and impurity." With this, she was given to understand all that would take place in the present era.
The
Holy Virgin continued: "My daughter, will you sacrifice yourself for
the people of this time?" Mother Mariana replied, "I am willing." And
immediately the swords moved away from the agonizing Christ and buried
themselves in the hear of Mother Mariana, who fell dead through the
violence and pain. (Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D., Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times, Tradition in Action, Inc., second edition, 2000, p. 27.)
Following Mother Mariana's "mysterious death and resurrection," Our Lady spoke to her again:
"Thus
do I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and
especially in the 20th century, in what is today the Colony and then
will be the Republic of Ecuador, the passions will erupt and there will
be a total corruption of customs, for Satan will reign almost completely
by means of Masonic sects. They will focus particularly on the children
in order to achieve this general corruption. Woe to the children of
these times! It will be difficult to receive the Sacrament of Baptism,
and also that of Confirmation. Making use of persons in positions of
authority, the devil will assiduously try to destroy the Sacrament of
Confession ...
"The
same thing will happen with Holy Communion. Alas! How deeply I grieve
upon manifesting to you the many and horrible sacrileges--both public
and also secret--that will occur from such profanations of the Holy
Eucharist! Often during this epoch, the enemies of Jesus Christ,
instigated by the demon, will steal consecrated hosts from the churches
so that they might profane the Eucharistic Species. My Most Holy Will
will see Himself cast upon the ground and trampled upon by irreverent
feet" . . . .
"Know,
moreover, that Divine Justice releases terrible chastisements on entire
nations, not only for the sins of the people, but especially for those
of priests and religious persons. For the latter are called by the
perfection of their state, to be the salt of the earth, the masters of
truth and deflectors of divine wrath. Straying from their divine
mission, they degrade themselves in such a way that, before the eyes of
God, they quicken the rigor of the punishments. . . . (Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times, pp. 44-45; 63)
We
should not be surprised, therefore, by the outbreaks of various natural
disasters as they are instruments of God's justice. They are also,
however, instruments of His ineffable mercy, providing survivors (and
those in other parts of the world who become aware of various disasters)
an opportunity to amend their lives and return to Him through His
Catholic Church before they die sudden and sacramentally unprovided-for
deaths. We must remember that there is nothing we can suffer in this
passing, mortal vale of tears that is the equal of what one of our least
Venial Sins caused Our Lord to suffer during His Passion and Death,
remembering also how our sins caused Seven Swords of Sorrow to be thrust
through the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Dr. Horvat put it this way in Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times:
It
is almost impossible for us to understand the next phase of the life of
the novice Mariana de Jesus Torres. Hidden in the Heart of her Spouse,
she was inflamed with a desire for a life of immolation and sacrifice.
Our Lord Himself told her the practices she should carry out during the
free hours of the community schedule and the penances she should perform
each week. Her severe disciplines, sacrifices, fasting and prayer, all
described in chapters of the manuscript, appear daunting to the man of
our century, who finds suffering something to avoid, or, at best, to
endure as austerely as possible.
Suffering
is highly ennobling. On this road of suffering in union with Christ,
man finds the fullest meaning of his life, and he discovers that
frequently it is in the great sufferings of life, accepted with a
supernatural disposition, that he can find a joy which the greatest
pleasures do not give. Further, he discovers in suffering an interior
state that makes him capable of soaring to heights impossible for one
who does not suffer. Only when man embraces great sufferings can his
horizons expand to grand metaphysical and religious heights and his
spirit advance to a superior state. At the end of Mother Mariana's life
when her sanctity was acknowledged in the community and convent, she
would look back with nostalgia and sigh for the days of persecution and
suffering. (Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D., Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times, Tradition in Action, Inc., second edition, 2000, p. 26.)
Yes,
God punishes men for the sins, both in this life and, in the case of
those who die in a state of Mortal sin, for all eternity in hell. This
is simply His Divine Justice, which is not in the least in conflict with
his ineffable mercy for erring sinners who seek to reform their lives
by confessing their sins, both by kind and number as far as they are
able to remember, to a true priest.
God
will not be mocked. Sins must be punished. God chooses a variety of
ways to punish us errant, recidivist, ungrateful sinners. The elements
of the earth are themselves disturbed by human sins as they are part of
the Order of Creation (Nature) whose perfect balance was rent asunder as
a result of Original Sin.
I
would entreat you, however, to consider how Our Blessed Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ Himself told Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres that
the sins of men in Ecuador, a country favored with the visits of Our
Lady of Good Success and ruled for twelve years (1859 to 1865 and 1869
to the time of assassination in 1875) by that great exemplar of the
Social Reign of Christ the King, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, would diminish
the luster of the sunsets in that country on the equator:
She
saw that when this would happen, the beautiful dawn that each morning
would break forth with refulgence over this land--so enchantingly
spectacular that some persons would rise at daybreak just to see the day
break--would lose some of its brilliance. Thus does earth reflect
Heaven, and the earth's beauty and vitality diminish with sin and
infidelity to grace. This favor of beautiful dawns should cease, Mother
Mariana was given to understand, because the Republic [of Ecuador, which
was then only a Spanish colony] would become corrupt and ungrateful for
the benefits it received from God. (Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D., Stories and Miracles of Our Lady of Good Success, Tradition in Action, Inc., 2002, p. 68.)
Men
must quit their sins and repent of them in the Sacred Tribunal of
Penance. They must treat each other as they would treat Our Blessed Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who was made Flesh in Our Lady's Virginal and
Immaculate Womb, where He spent nine months growing to the point of His
Nativity in poverty and anonymity in Bethlehem on Christmas Day.
No
one can say that he loves Our Lord and yet supports His dismemberment
mystically in the persons of innocent preborn children. And it is
impossible to provide for any element of the common temporal good on an
enduring basis as long as the innocent preborn are attacked with legal
impunity, as long as the Sovereignty of God over the sanctity and
fecundity of marriage is denied by means of contraception, as long as
perversity is promoted under the slogans of "diversity" and "human
rights," as long as men live as though there is no true Church and that
they do not have to face Christ the King as their Judge at the moment of
their Particular Judgments.
Men
cannot sin wantonly without realizing terrible chastisements from God,
something that Saint Alphonsus de Liguori made very clear in Preparation for Death:
The Lord does not wish us to be lost; and therefore, by
the threat of chastisement, he unceasingly exhorts us to a change of
life. Except you will be converted, He will brandish His sword. Behold,
he says in another place, how many, because they would not cease to
offend me, have met with a sudden death, when they were least expecting
it, and were living in peace, secure of a life of many years. For whey
they shall say: Peace and security: then shall sudden destruction come
upon them. Again he says: Unless you shall do penance, you shall
likewise perish. Why so many threats of chastisements before the
execution of vengeance? It is because he wishes that we amend our
lives, and thus avoid an unhappy death. "He," says Saint Augustine,
"who tells you to beware, does not wish to take away your life." It is
necessary, then, to prepare our accounts before the day of account
arrives. Dearly beloved Christians, were you to die, and were your lot
for eternity to be decided before night would your accounts be ready?
Oh! how much would you give to obtain from God another year or month, or
even another day, to prepare for judgment? Why then do yo not now, that
God gives you this time, settle the accounts of your conscience?
Perhaps is cannot happen that this shall be the last day for you? Delay
not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day; for
His wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance He will
destroy thee. My brother, to save your soul you must give up your sin.
"If then you must renounce it at some time, why do you not abandon it at
this moment?" says Saint Augustine. Perhaps you are waiting till death
arrives? But for obstinate sinners, the hour of death is the time, not
of pardon, but of vengeance. In the time of vengeance He will destroy
thee. (Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, Preparation for Death.)
It
was on September 19, 1846, that Our Lady explained Our Lady of La
Salette told Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud about the terrible
effects of sin in the world:
The
Church will be in eclipse, the world will be in dismay. But now Enoch
and Eli will come, filled with the Spirit of God. They will preach with
the might of God, and men of good will will believe in God, and many
souls will be comforted. They will make great steps forward through the
power of the Holy Spirit and will condemn the devilish lapses of the
Antichrist. Woe to the inhabitants of
the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines, plagues and infectious
diseases. It will rain with a fearful hail of animals. There will be
thunderstorms which will shake cities, earthquakes which will swallow up
countries. Voices will be heard in the air. Men will beat their heads
against walls, call for their death, and on another side death will be
their torment. Blood will flow on all sides. Who will be the
victor if God does not shorten the length of the test? At the blood, the
tears and prayers of the righteous, God will relent. Enoch and Eli will
be put to death. Pagan Rome will disappear. The fire of Heaven will
fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with
terror and many will let themselves be lead astray because they have not
worshipped the true Christ who lives among them. It is time; the sun is
darkening; only faith will survive.
Now is the time; the abyss is opening. Here is the King of Kings of darkness, here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Savior of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael. He will fall, and the earth, which will have been in a continuous series of evolutions for three days, will open up its fiery bowels; and he will have plunged for all eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms of hell. And then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men's pride and all will be renewed. God will be served and glorified." (Message of Our Lady of La Salette.)

Remarkably, Our Lady’s warning at La Salette, France, is very similar to as found in The Mystical City of God as Our Lady explained to the Venerable Mary of Agreda:
"Woe
to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down to you,
having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time." Woe to the
earth, where so many sins and such wickedness shall be perpetuated! Woe
to the sea, which refused to pour forth its floods and annihilate the
transgressors at the sight of so great offenses against its Creator, and
to avenge the insults against its Maker and Lord! But more woe to the
profound and raging sea of those that follow the demon, after he had
descended in their midst in order to war against them with great wrath
and with such unheard of cruelty! It is the wrath of the most ferocious
dragon, and greater than that of the devouring lion (I Pet. 5, 8), who
attempts to annihilate all creation and to whom all the days of the
world seem a short time to execute his fury. Such is his hunger and
thirst to do damage to mortals, that all the days of their life do not
satisfy him, for they come to an end, whereas he desires eternal ages,
if possible, in order to wage war against the sons of God. But
incomparably greater than against all others is his rage against that
most blessed Woman, who was to crush his head (Gen. 3: 15). (The Mystical City of God.)

Lady, especially through her Most Holy Rosary, now more than ever
before,
