The Bishop of Rome commits calumny against Christ and His Church

Francis, the Bishop of Rome has either lost his mind or is an evil malefactor. There is no alternative. Today, during the inflight Press Conference, Francis had this to say:

"[The Church] shouldn’t just apologize to a gay [sic] person whom it has offended,” he said.

“It should ask forgiveness also from the poor, from exploited women, from children exploited as laborers. It has to ask forgiveness for having blessed so many weapons … Christians should ask forgiveness for not having accompanied so many persons, many families.”

How can a Pope say such things? Is he not thinking? Is he unaware of the incredible damage he has created? The enemies of Christ will seize upon these remarks that claim that the Church has amongst other things abused the poor, exploited women... In fact, he and his fellow clergy have committed these sins by not teaching what Christ taught with clarity and unambiguity. 

Much has already been written on the alleged need for an "apology" to those who engage in sodomy and other unnatural vice. We wish, in this post, to draw attention to Francis' outrageous undermining of Catholic teaching on Holy Matrimony, as expressed by St. Paul. We wish to address the issue of "exploited women". How can a Catholic, let alone a Pope claim that the Church is responsible for the exploitation of women and should apologize? This is calumny against Christ and His Apostles and the Church Fathers. 

St. Paul wrote in Colossians 3:18:  

Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

St. John Chrysostom, in his 10th Homily on Colossians (in a work which Francis obviously has not read) wrote the following commentary: 

 Ver. 18. Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

That is, be subject for God's sake, because this adorns you, he says, not them. For I mean not that subjection which is due to a master, nor yet that alone which is of nature, but that for God's sake.

Ver. 19. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

See how again he has exhorted to reciprocity. As in the other case he enjoins fear and love, so also does he here. For it is possible for one who loves even, to be bitter. What he says then is this. Fight not; for nothing is more bitter than this fighting, when it takes place on the part of the husband toward the wife. For the fightings which happen between beloved persons, these are bitter; and he shows that it arises from great bitterness, when, says he, any one is at variance with his own member. To love therefore is the husband's part, to yield pertains to the other side. If then each one contributes his own part, all stands firm. From being loved, the wife too becomes loving; and from her being submissive, the husband becomes yielding.

Exploitation? 

So much indeed for the exploitation of women. The Church should apologize to women for defending them? For proclaiming the beautiful doctrine of Holy Matrimony which raised women up from being chattel in the ancient world? That the teaching of Christ and His Church are wrong?

Perhaps it is Popes and churchmen who have failed Christ and His Church? Stop blaming the Faithful! They should apologize for their grave failings and for this profane litany that Francis has concocted.

If they want to apologize, perhaps they should apologize for the priests who have raped little boys and girls, and to the Faithful who have paid the exorbitant recompense of billions of dollars that could have been used for the poor that we hear so much about coming from Rome. Apologize for the billions wasted on their sins and crimes! Yes, we are waiting for an apology to the sexually abused and the poor. 

A late friend of ours once said: "no dogma, no dollars". If the Church is not going to teach dogma and doctrine, no money!

Collapse in belief in the Real Presence is why we are going through the crisis of Holy Communion for adulterers

I have been arguing for years that the primary cause of the crisis in the Church is an Eucharistic crisis. Disbelief in the Real Presence has real consequences. The heresy of the neumatic presence of Christ has been worming its way through the Church for decades. 

Consider why we are even having this "debate" involving the distribution of Holy Communion to those who live in habitual sin, adultery.  

This debate is only possible because of a massive collapse in belief in the Real Presence. 

The following is but one example of this denial of the Real Presence. 

No further commentary is necessary. The denial of the Real Presence is the grave sin that strikes at the heart of the Catholic Church:

Jesus blessed:

The priest prays the Eucharistic prayer of blessing over the bread and wine (over us gathered) and through the power of the Spirit, changes them (us) into the body and blood of Jesus Christ - a wonderful gift to offer to the Father.

Contrast the above abuse and evil to true respect for the Holy Eucharist and the Real Presence: 

The Secret about Holy Matrimony and Sacred Sex. The Soul and the Body are One

The first Martyr for the sanctity of Holy Matrimony, St John the Baptist was not married. Yet, he gave his life in its' defense. We must look at why the Baptist knew that Holy Matrimony must be defended, even unto death. 

Marriage is a sacred sacrament; it is a reflection of the Blessed Trinity. Holy Matrimony reflects the the union between Christ and His Church in a mystical manner, and between a man and a woman it a sacred Union, which is spiritual and physical. 

Given that the human person is soul and matter; indeed, the person is ensouled matter, the Union between a man and a woman therefore is sacred sex, because the soul and the body constitute the entire person, which is a Temple of the Holy Spirit. Just as the Church obeys Christ, so the woman obeys her husband; just as Christ delivered Himself up for the Church, so too, the husband must deliver himself up for and to his wife.  

It is a tragedy that so many churchmen fail to teach and preach the sacredness of Holy Matrimony; a tragedy that so many couples rather than undertaking the Sacrament soberly and with dignity, degrade it to a nauseating display of superficial sentimentality. 

The recent Synod of the Family, and the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, rather than confirm Catholics in the sanctity of Holy Matrimony and its unity and indivisibility, only continued the marital crisis by continuing and perpetuating confusion. The recent remarks of the Pope that men and women who are not married, but are living in habitual sin, yet are in the state of Grace, is not true. If the Pope meant that they lived as brother and sister, he would be correct. But he did not say this; therefore he did not want us to interpret his remarks as a couple living celibately. 

Truly, a cloud of darkness has descended upon Rome with the Pope and so many bishops and priests, sadly followed by innumerable men and women, failing to grasp the absolute sanctity and unicity of the Union of a man and woman in Holy Matrimony. 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen was right: it takes three to make love. 

Jesuit Hubris: doctrine must evolve to fit with pastoral practice

Antonio Spadaro S.J., a very close advisor and confidante of Pope Francis has just tweeted happily an article by the Jesuit heretic Thomas P Rausch that doctrine must change to match pastoral evolution. The boldness of these liars and deceivers is such that they are now dropping any pretext of the monstrous lie that "doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge..." to openly admit that doctrine must be re-formulated to fit pastoral practices. Vox Cantoris accurately predicted that these men always had one thing in mind, the changing of doctrine. 

Now, we are informed in the neo-Modernist La Civilta Cattolica, that the "evolution of doctrine is not only possible, but necessary..." in response to pastoral situations. The Jesuit "De Suisse Romande" is emphatic: Amoris Laetitia opens the door for the divorced and "remarried" - in other words, ADULTERERS - to receive Holy Communion. 

De Suisse Romande gives a highly favourable  review by the arch-Modernist Jesuit, Rausch, who proposes that paragraph 305 of Amoris Laetitia opens the way to "recontextualize" doctrine in the service of the "pastoral mission of the Church". 

Such errors are not new, but as part of the doctrine of the Modernists were formally condemned by Pope St. Pius X. The holy Pope wrote: 

These errors are being daily spread among the faithful. Lest they captivate the faithful's minds and corrupt the purity of their faith, His Holiness, Pius X, by Divine Providence, Pope, has decided that the chief errors should be noted and condemned by the Office of this Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition.

Therefore, after a very diligent investigation and consultation with the Reverend Consultors, the Most Eminent and Reverend Lord Cardinals, the General Inquisitors in matters of faith and morals have judged the following propositions to be condemned and proscribed. In fact, by this general decree, they are condemned and proscribed.

Condemned Propositions by Pius X in Lamentabili Sane: 

58. Truth is no more immutable than man himself, since it evolved with him, in him, and through him.

59. Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and all men, but rather inaugurated a religious movement adapted or to be adapted to different times and places.

63. The Church shows that she is incapable of effectively maintaining evangelical ethics since she obstinately clings to immutable doctrines which cannot be reconciled with modern progress.

Has the Vatican really endorsed Salt and Light TV - the channel that praised the arch-heretic, Gregory Baum?

Thomas Rosica, CSB., at an event in Vancouver, BC., stated the following regarding Salt and Light: 

"The Vatican has told me this is an extremely important way of evangelizing; a discreet, but constant, evangelization".

Fr. Rosica should provide us with the name of the churchman or churchmen who stated this. If the Roman authorities did indeed state this, were they aware of the same Fr. Rosica's praise for the arch-heretic and ex-priest, Gregory Baum. The lauding of Baum, hardly constitutes evangelization, discreet or otherwise. 

"... you have been for me and continue to be a real model of hope... you remain a faithful, deeply devoted Catholic; you love Jesus, the Church, the Eucharist".  

Fr. Thomas Rosica, addressing ex-priest/dissident theologian, Professor Gregory Baum. 

Many Catholics, having heard the scandalous interview with Baum will find it hard to believe that Rome approves of Salt and Light TV. On the other hand, perhaps the Modernist infiltration is so deep, so extensive, that indeed it may not be too difficult to find a wolf in sheep's clothing who will endorse as Catholic a media channel that praises Baum.
