Pope Francis contradicts Pius XI's Quas Primas and Church teaching on the Kingship of Christ

Pope Pius XI

From Pope Francis' interview with La Croix. 

Pope Francis: 

States must be secular. Confessional states end badly. That goes against the grain of History. I believe that a version of laicity accompanied by a solid law guaranteeing religious freedom offers a framework for going forward. We are all equal as sons (and daughters) of God and with our personal dignity. However, everyone must have the freedom to externalize his or her own faith*. If a Muslim woman wishes to wear a veil, she must be able to do so. Similarly, if a Catholic wishes to wear a cross. People must be free to profess their faith* at the heart of their own culture not merely at its margins.

From Pius XI's Encyclical, Quas Primas. 

Pius XI: 

It would be a grave error, on the other hand, to say that Christ has no authority whatever in civil affairs, since, by virtue of the absolute empire over all creatures committed to him by the Father, all things are in his power... If We ordain that the whole Catholic world shall revere Christ as King, We shall minister to the need of the present day, and at the same time provide an excellent remedy for the plague which now infects society. We refer to the plague of anti-clericalism, its errors and impious activities. This evil spirit, as you are well aware, Venerable Brethren, has not come into being in one day; it has long lurked beneath the surface. The empire of Christ over all nations was rejected. The right which the Church has from Christ himself, to teach mankind, to make laws, to govern peoples in all that pertains to their eternal salvation, that right was denied. Then gradually the religion of Christ came to be likened to false religions and to be placed ignominiously on the same level with them.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Faith:

* To the contrary, Faith is a supernatural virtue; thus, a false religion is not a faith; be it, a form of Protestantism or Mohommedanism. 

153. When St. Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus declared to him that this revelation did not come "from flesh and blood", but from "my Father who is in heaven". 24 Faith is a gift of God, a supernatural virtue infused by him. "Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and 'makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.'" 25

Michael Rossmann S.J: another "Jesuit scholastic" promoting a bi-sexual deviant as a "theologian"

"Fr" Duffell and "Lady Gaga"

The Jesuit Post, continues to plumb the depths of depravity. Last year, it was Jason Welle S.J., who distinguished himself - even amongst a group of militant pro-homosexualists - with his support of the blasphemous and sacrilege contention that two persons of the same sex can enter into Holy Matrimony. 

Seemingly for his efforts in profaning Holy Matrimony, so arrogantly and disgustingly, Welle was rewarded by being ordained to the Diaconate on Oct 24th, 2015. This blog, along with Vox Cantoris, exposed Welle's filthy and evil mind pursuant to his activities on social media (see link here).  

Now, we have effeminate Michael Rossmann S.J., promoting a "singer" by name of "Lady Gaga", as a "theologian". The insulting result of his aforementioned premise is that Rossmann's condescending notion that "he probably too much fun" while writing this post gives the appearance of admitting something sinful, perhaps? Certainly at the very least, it is in poor taste. Upon examining Rossmann's mental excrement one discovers that the aforementioned "Gaga" is associated with the dissident Fr. Duffell who seem to have just stepped out a St. Patrick's Day Parade. 

The Hegelian Fantasy of Thomas Rosica, CSB ~ how a new apostate religion is created by trying to fuse truth and error

Thomas Rosica CSB and ex-priest, arch-heretic Gregory Baum 

 

Thomas Rosica CSB, has just received an award from a self-proclaimed "communications ministry" office of the Diocese of Brooklyn. Rosica claims that "Francis has rebranded Catholicism". What does he mean? Rosica, further  develops an Hegelian dialectic where he suggests that contrasting positions [theses and antithesis] are "forged" in a "new, better consensus" [synthesis]. Just what are these "contrasting positions" that need to be forged via a "consensus"?

The inability of some media commentators to pigeonhole Francis into a single category is frustrating to some people. Francis does not compromise on the hot-button issues that divide the Church from the secular West – a gap that liberals would like to close by modernizing doctrine. Yet he is also not a Pope for the Catholic Right. For him contrasting positions, held together in tension, loyal to fundamentals but open to the action of the Holy Spirit, are necessary to forge a new, better consensus and the differences make for an honest, open discussion.

A Profound Observation on Fulton J Sheen and Today's Social Media

“Jesus loves you.” #JN3:16 #Easter #risn “Pray. Hope. Don’t worry.” #faith #believe “Preach the Gospel at all times” #Francis #peace #prayalways Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and countless other platforms are filled with almost empty Christian one-liners and other messages. Oftentimes trite sayings are re-tweeted or shared along with some kind of exhortation to “spread the word.” Since you’re a Christian, you can feel guilted into supporting this sort of thing, to do your share of evangelization. Believe me, I’m committed to building up a Christian culture, but sometimes I can be downright ashamed of that content. In the most extreme cases it can feel like not sharing whatever image or quote “because you’re a Christian” is a denial of Jesus himself. 

So what about social media evangelization? Is tweeting 140 characters going to convince someone of the Gospel? The Church refuses to be absent from the conversation—that alone tells us something important. Pope Francis (@Pontifex) has some 5.87 million followers on the English language account (over 15 million if all the eight language groups are added together). The Church is called to be leaven for the world, and that means continuing to share the light and hope of the Gospel message, even on the web. Msgr. Paul Tighe puts it this way, “If we withdraw, then we’re leaving those areas to the trolls. We’re leaving it to the bullies.” 

While few people may think that the Church should absent herself from the “new media,” many might wonder what good it all does. Will seeing a Scripture passage in someone’s Facebook news feed actually help infuse a soul with an abundance of actual graces, even the grace of justification? It seems unwise to just close that door. The workings of Providence are mysterious, and the Creator loves using instrumental causes to achieve his aims. Far be it from this theologian to declare the internet an option banned from God’s playbook. 

The Holy Father offers one helpful way to define our Catholic web presence in light of the following goal: building a culture of encounter. “The great challenge,” says Pope Francis, “the great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.” Genuine evangelical encounters demand authentic relationships and true exchanges. This is our aim, then, to use the web to nourish these encounters, which prompted and directed by God’s grace, may bear fruit in countless lives. 

But who can we look to as an example for how to do this? The innovations of the “new media” are by definition without precedent. Nonetheless, I think we ought to appeal to the life and teaching of Fulton Sheen. By mining the example of his life and teaching, we can deduce some principles to guide our e-preaching.
