Cardinal Burke Outlines Formal Correction of Pope Francis …

The moral crisis and “doctrinal anarchy” as Vatican expert Edward Pentin and others have written about in the Church caused by Francis has reached the breaking point where all faithful Catholics must pray for and demand that Cardinal Raymond Burke, the faithful cardinals and the faithful bishops issue the correction and investigate if Francis is an invalidly elected anti-pope.

That is the purpose of this post.

A Vatican expert, who has met Francis and wished to remain anonymous gave The Catholic Monitor an impassioned statement to this purpose, said:

“Raymond Burke is the epitome of humility, holiness and brilliance.”

“I love Cardinal Burke, but I’ve run out of patience.”

This impassioned statement is titled End the Bergoglio Borgata:

The persistent silence of the College of Cardinals and the Bishops signifies their cowardice and neutrality. They invoke omerta in the face of the Bergoglio Borgata which has knee-capped the Catholic Church, decimating it with modernism and secular populism.  The Cardinals seemingly choke with fear as Francis supplants the Magisterium with his own doctrinal brand of liberation theology. They watch silently as he guts the FFI, the Knights of Malta, the Pontifical Academies, and stacks the  College of Cardinals with his liberal lackeys to ensure that Francis minions dominate the Chair of Peter for generations.

How often have we heard cardinals, bishops and priests whisper, ‘we will wait Francis out, he is old, and has only one lung.’ 

How’s that strategy working? 

How much more destruction are you willing to endure, silently watching, remaining neutral in this time of moral crisis in the Catholic Church?

Remember the words of St. Cajetan, “you must resist the Pope who openly destroys the Church.” 

While the clerics sit on the sidelines, the laity is not content to watch Rome burn during this papacy, knowing that the true scandal is not the vociferous criticism of Francis; the real scandal is the papacy of Jorge Bergoglio and the complicit silence of the hierarchy.

And, questions persist about the hierarchy.

Is there a real man left in the Vatican to speak up and save Holy Mother Church from this disastrous papacy ? 

Is it too much to ask you to lay down your riches, titles, and honor, at the end of your earthly lives, for Holy Mother Church? 

Are you content to be made a laughingstock with your Dubia Demand which goes ignored and unanswered for nearly 9 months? 

Are there any men in the College of Cardinals left who are willing to fight for Holy Mother Church, like the legions of men in the traditional Catholic blogoshere?

Knowing that the St. Gallen Mafia plotted and schemed the spurious election of Bergoglio, why would you, Cardinals passively condone his scandalous appointments, his heretical pronouncements, and his tyrannical firings, without speaking out in united protest? 

It’s time to break the code of silence.  ‘Show up Time’ has long past. Time to put on your big boy pants and blow the lid off this modernist and heretical papacy. The Resistance is upon us.

What does the Resistance look like? 

The Rome Midnight Poster Brigade was a good first start.

The Dubia Demand offered hope and clarity, but unanswered remains a hollow threat. 

Creativity, bravery, and prayer are required to launch an offensive to SAVE OUR CHURCH.

Bergoglio is increasingly vulnerable, exposed, and obviously flawed. The time is long over to stop protecting this papal wrecking ball who scandalizes the faithful every time he opens his mouth. 

Who could forget the merciful Francis who haughtily chastised Cardinal Mueller, “I am the Pope, I don’t have to give you reasons for firing your 3 best priests at the CDF.”  Hardly the  conciliatory and humble words of a man who espouses dialogue and consultation.  As Aesop cautioned, “any excuse will serve a tyrant.” 

Time to shed the comfort of your mitre, your title, and your coat of arms. 

Have you forgotten that Dante warned that “the darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis?” 

In the words of St Catherine of Siena, “Proclaim the truth and don’t be silent through fear.”

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia. 

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

Pope Francis: Eat Less Meat to Save the Planet

David Martin | The Daily Knight

Since his elevation to the pontificate in 2013, Pope Francis has echoed the globalist narrative that we make sacrifices for the planet in “reparation” for the “sins” committed against her. His whole demeanor has been ecological as opposed to Catholic, though his latest stunt takes the cake.

Francis is now urging the youth to “make noise” as political activists and to eat less meat to curb global warming and save the planet. in a July 6 letter addressed to the participants in the European Union’s 2022 Youth Conference, he said there is an “urgent need” to reduce the consumption of “fossil fuels” and other “superfluous things” and added:

“In certain areas of the world, too, it would be appropriate to consume less meat: this too can help save the environment.” He said that eating less meat would help “transform the ‘old continent’ into a ‘new continent.’” (New World Order)

According to Francis, eating less meat is a form of “climate action” that helps the planet, which of course is lunar. Did Jesus and his apostles pollute the planet by eating the fatted calf?

Abstaining for the Earth Idol

Traditionally, the members of Christ have always abstained from meat on Fridays, ember days, and during Lent, in keeping with Christ’s precept that we “do penance.” Abstaining from meat is a key part of our Christian observance and worship of God, but now Francis is advocating that we do this for the planet, a dumb piece of dirt that neither sees, hears, nor understands. His meatless sacrifice is a mockery of the true sacrifice that Christians render to God.

Idolatry

Some will scornfully ask, ”Are you saying that Pope Francis is engaging in idol worship?” To that we ask, “Did Francis not bow and offer incense to the earth-idol Pachamama at St. Peter’s Basilica in October 2019?” The answer is, “yes,” Francis bows to the planetary idol of “Mother Earth” symbolized by Pachamama, and it’s being reported now that he is scheduled to participate in a pagan “ritual of purification” this month at Sacred Heart Church in Calgary, Canada. The indigenous formula of appeasing pagan gods – processing (into the Church) holding a bowl of smoldering cedar, sage, sweetgrass, and tobacco – will be employed as a means of “purifying” the Church of “evil spirits.”

Francis’ preoccupation with indigenous practice shouldn’t surprise us seeing that his 2015 recyclical Laudato Si is all about being one with the planet, not about being one with God. Therein, Francis purports a new environmental paganism by introducing a new category of “sins against the earth” to be introduced into moral theology.

In a word, Francis is all about the so-called sustainability of the planet, not the sustainability of Holy Tradition. Eating beef is now a slight against the planet. To beasts, whales, and indigenous feathers he says, “Let them live,” but to the Traditional Latin Mass he says, “Let it die.” Yea, he has gone out of his way to oppress and halt the True Sacrifice to God.

People will ask, “Does Francis side with God or with the world?” Certainly, it can’t be both. The Apostle James makes it clear that “The friendship of this world is the enemy of God” and that “Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.” (James 4:4)

If being a friend of this adulterous world makes one an enemy of God what can we say of those who coddle homosexuals and U.N. abortion advocates and who appoint them to high positions in the Church?

God help Francis.

Dissidents Are “Astonished” By Vatican Edict July 22, 2022  Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on reaction to the Vatican statement on German Catholic leaders: In 2019, Pope Francis formally announced that the “Synodal Way” had begun. He called for a forum whereby the clergy and laity would weigh several issues facing the Church that need to be discussed, leading possibly to some reforms. From the beginning, Catholic dissidents seized the moment to promote their agenda, and nowhere was this more evident than in Germany. Now the Vatican has stepped in warning the Germans that they need to tap their brakes. In a letter released by the Holy See on July 21, it was said that the German “Synodal Way” was guilty of overreach, maintaining it “does not have the power to compel bishops and the faithful to adopt new forms of governance and new orientations to doctrine and morals.” Moreover, it said no reforms could be countenanced “before an agreement had been reached at the level of the universal Church,” for if that were to happen it “would constitute a violation of ecclesial communion and a threat to the unity of the Church.” The admonition could not be more clear: the German bishops have jumped the line. They immediately said they were “astonished” by the rebuke. They shouldn’t have been. In April, more than 100 cardinals and bishops from around the world issued a “fraternal open letter” to the German bishops, sounding the alarms. They even went so far as to say that their radical reforms carry “the potential for schism.” They did not exaggerate. Predictably, American Catholic dissidents such as Fordham’s David Gibson said the letter was “rather astonishing.” Their capacity for astonishment appears to be endless. Even before these cardinals and bishops sounded off, Pope Francis expressed his concerns. In 2019, he wrote to the German bishops warning them not to seek autonomy—we are one Church. Cardinal Walter Kasper, a prominent liberal German leader, also expressed his misgivings with the radical agenda that was unfolding. In this country, Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila, noting what the German bishops were up to, released a 15-page letter in 2021 stating similar concerns; it was signed by many cardinals and bishops. What was that agenda? Gay couples have had their “unions” blessed in defiance of the Vatican. Importantly, votes have already taken place saying gay marriage is not sinful, thus declaring homosexuality in “marriage” to be licit. They also want to do away with mandatory celibacy and allow for married priests. Essentially, the Germans are seeking to Protestantize the Catholic Church. The dissidents want more. Their focus is fourfold: a change in the Church’s teaching on homosexuality, the ordination of women, allowing for married priests, and more input from the laity. Homosexuality is at the top of the list. Marc Frings is the secretary-general of the Central Committee of German Catholics. He is quite open in declaring the “Synodal Way” to be “a conscious statement against the current Catholic catechism.” He wants nothing less than a wholesale welcoming of gay marriage and homosexuality. What is most perverse about this agenda is that the reforms are being touted as a way of addressing clergy sexual abuse. As I detailed in The Truth about Clergy Sexual Abuse: Clarifying the Facts and the Causes, it is impossible to understand the scandal without giving due recognition to the critical role that homosexual priests played in generating it. To think that the corrective is to legitimize homosexuality is more than preposterous—it is suicidal. The next synod assembly is in September; it is expected to end next March. The Holy Father has his work cut out for himself. When calls for prudential reforms are interpreted as demands for a revolution, the extremists cannot be allowed to prevail. They have already done much damage to the Catholic Church.

After the end of Roe v. Wade, here’s what’s next for anti-abortion groups in South Texas

With abortions now banned in Texas, thousands of people who would have chosen to terminate their pregnancies are now facing the prospect of birth.

For anti-abortion groups, the overturn of Roe v. Wade was a win.

“I think the church, in line with Jesus Christ, promotes life,” Bishop Michael Mulvey of the Diocese of Corpus Christi said. “And the fact that our Supreme Court has, through this decision, recognized the value of life, first of all, that is certainly something that we are grateful for.”

Looking forward, faith communities and anti-abortion advocacy groups in the Coastal Bend — where Catholics make up about 70% of the population, according to the Corpus Christi diocese — are preparing for the roles they might play in supporting mothers and young families.

“Instead of just doing protests and whatever you see in the news, there’s also a need for us to reach out to people that are in need at all levels,” Mulvey said.

Mulvey said parishes in the diocese will be revitalizing efforts to support mothers through a United States Conference of Catholic Bishops initiative, Standing with Moms in Need, so that if someone comes to the parish in need of assistance, they can be connected to resources or mentors in the parish.

“It’s something we need to organize better and that’s my intention for this coming year, is to organize that better in the parishes,” Mulvey said, “because many people are looking for ways, (saying) how can we help and be present to people in need.”

Abortion is one issue, and it’s a very important one, but I think we all need to look at the human life in its totality.

According to Texas Health and Human Services data, there were 50,532 “induced terminations of pregnancies,” or abortions, in 2021. A state law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy went into effect in September. Since then, the number of abortions performed each month has been cut in half.

About 85% of those who received abortions in Texas in 2021 were unmarried. More than 30,000 already had at least one child. More than 4,000 abortions were performed on teenagers, including at least one on an 11-year-old child or younger and 30 on 12- to 13-year-old children.

It is unclear how many people from the Coastal Bend might have terminated their pregnancies. Though there have been no abortion clinics in Corpus Christi since Coastal Birth Control Center closed in 2014, abortions were available for those able to travel a few hours to other Texas cities such as San Antonio, Houston or McAllen.

Now, the nearest abortion clinics to Corpus Christi are much farther away. There are clinics in Las Cruces, New Mexico, that offer the abortion pill, but the road trip would take more than 10 hours. Even farther, clinics in Albuquerque and Wichita, Kansas, offer surgical abortions.

For years, the state of Texas has been funding the Alternatives to Abortion program with the goal of reducing abortions and improving child health and prenatal nutrition, up from $5 million in 2006-07 to nearly $80 million in 2020-21. The funds are distributed to groups that provide counseling, parenting classes and supplies such as diapers or pregnancy tests.

Critics say that the state program lacks oversight, and that the crisis pregnancy centers and other local organizations that the program funds offer assistance that often comes with conditions. For example, some require that visitors take parenting classes before receiving supplies, and many of the groups are faith-based, established with the goal of preventing abortions.

“Texas overall lacks a medical, social safety net and crisis pregnancy centers weaponize that gap to push their agenda,” said Delma Catalina Limones, communications manager for Avow, a Texas abortion advocacy group. “Most of these don’t provide actual medical services and what they do is with an agenda. Health care and resources and community programs should not come with an agenda of an outcome.”

Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend

The Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend is an anti-abortion effort that operates five pregnancy centers in Corpus Christi, Calallen, Portland and Rockport, offering free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds. Last year, the center received $776,323.34 from the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program.

The organization also operates a resale shop, Hi Again Resale, that supports the group’s work. The group’s encouragement of parenthood is clear in the shop, from an entire section of the store full of baby clothing and a back storage space full of diaper and child supply donations, to the actual mothers and pregnant women on staff, manning checkout often with a child in tow.

Parents can earn baby supplies such as diapers, baby clothes, cribs and car seats if they attend free parenting classes. With each weekly class they attend, parents accrue points that can be exchanged for items.

The center offered close to 2,000 pregnancy tests last year, Executive Director Jana Pinson estimated, with the number of people the center reaches increasing each year. Last year, 583 mothers who said they were thinking about abortion when they came into the center chose to continue their pregnancies, Pinson said.

The center asks visitors what their plans are for the pregnancy and offers them information from a booklet developed by the state containing information about abortion. The booklet has been criticized for implying a risk of breast cancer, though experts maintain that research does not indicate a causal relationship between abortion and breast cancer risk.

One of the center’s talking points is also abortion pill reversal — an experimental treatment to stop the effects of an abortion pill — which medical experts such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say is not supported by science.

When asked whether there are enough local resources to support a potential increase in the numbers of pregnant individuals and parents in need of assistance as abortion becomes more and more inaccessible, Pinson said she believes religious communities can handle the load.

“Churches are standing there ready to meet needs,” Pinson said, pointing out the center’s own packed storage space of supplies for families in need. “Will we run out of resources? No, because we have a larger church population that is ready.”

The organization is currently in the process of repurposing a building previously used by the Corpus Christi chapter of Birthright, another anti-abortion group which disbanded, located near Del Mar College. This fall, it plans to break ground on a new, 20,000-square-foot location near Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

“It’ll have all free STD tests, all free pregnancy tests, all free ultrasounds and the whole parenting program and a coffee shop and a mini resale shop that will be geared for college (students),” Pinson said.

Corpus Christi Hope House

Corpus Christi Hope House has four shelters where women and their dependent children and newborn babies can stay. The shelters also provide baby supplies, diapers and formula.

“We’re here to help those moms that decide, hey, I want to parent or place my baby for adoption,” Executive Director Melissa Juarez said. “We’ll be here for them and help them get through the pregnancy.”

Another of the group’s main programs is The Gabriel Project. The community outreach program connects people with diapers, baby wipes, clothing, baby items, furniture and appliances, and life skills and parenting classes.

“If it’s something we can’t do, we try to refer them to somebody who can,” Juarez said.

Hope House received $248,473.75 from the Alternatives to Abortion program last year.

For more than 30 years, anti-abortion supporters in Corpus Christi have gathered for an annual event and fundraiser to benefit Hope House, as well as Birthright of Corpus Christi before it closed.

In October, Hope House and the Gabriel Project will be holding the 33rd annual “Celebration for Life” banquet, this year celebrating the overturn of Roe v. Wade and anticipating an increased need for services.

Juarez said the program has expanded over the years from two to four shelters. It served 12,000 people through The Gabriel Project and 90 women and children at the shelters last year.

Mulvey noted the work of Hope House, as well as Catholic Charities in supporting the community.

Being “pro-life,” Mulvey said, isn’t just about abortion. Connected to that issue are efforts to support the homeless, the hungry, the elderly, immigrants and anyone in need of assistance, he said.

“Abortion is one issue, and it’s a very important one, but I think we all need to look at the human life in its totality,” Mulvey said.

Kamala Harris devised a plan to force states to allow abortion-on-demand

Ever since the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, the Left has been fuming. 

Left-wing mobs have gathered outside Justices’ houses and attacked churches and crisis pregnancy centers while Democrat politicians have schemed to get around this ruling. 

And Kamala Harris devised a plan to force states to allow abortion-on-demand. 

https://decide.dev/lad/15117606981932902?pubid=ld-7664-8923&pubo=https%3A%2F%2Fuspoliticaldaily.com&rid=&width=696&utm_source=uspdnl&utm_campaign=email&utm_medium=campaigner

Addressing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Vice President Harris said they won’t let the Senate filibuster rule get in the way of what she called “freedoms.” 

The so-called “freedoms” Harris was referring to were as she put it, “the freedom to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to make decisions about our own bodies, and the freedom to vote.”

Vice President Harris’ idea of freedom is stripping law-abiding Americans of their Second Amendment rights, allowing unborn children to be killed in the womb at any stage, and ensuring that American elections are rigged in favor of Democrats. 

The Biden administration’s failed attack on the filibuster

The Senate filibuster has served as an important safeguard against an out-of-control majority making extreme changes to policy. 

But when today’s radical Left doesn’t get their way, they want to tear down our system of checks and balances. 

Earlier this year, Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attempted to gut the Senate filibuster to push through their so-called “voting rights” legislation. 

Of course, when Democrats say “voting rights” what they really mean is banning states from enacting common-sense election integrity measures like voter ID. 

The Left claims it is about making it easier to vote, while their true goal is to make it easier to cheat, especially given how bad polls are looking for Democrats. 

That scheme to kill the filibuster and rig future elections fell flat when moderate Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-MN) voted against getting rid of the filibuster. 

Biden has recently called on the Senate to abolish the filibuster to force abortion-on-demand in all 50 states. 

“If the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights — we should require an exception to the filibuster for this action,” Biden said.

Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that they have the votes to do this right now. 

The Midterms matter

Biden and Harris have shown just how far they would like to go to push through their extreme leftist agenda. 

While polls have been looking good for Republicans this election year, conservatives cannot afford to be caught asleep at the wheel. 

If Democrats somehow manage to gain even a couple seats in the Senate, things could get a lot worse. 

If they get the votes to kill the filibuster, you can expect massive gun-grabs, expanding abortion-on-demand up until the point of birth, mass amnesty for illegal aliens, and rigging of future elections so that Republicans never hold power again. 

They want to transform America for the worse, and they have gotten bolder than ever about it.

Here is hoping Americans reject the Left’s dangerous vision for our country this November.

Flashback: “Boiling with Rage” Francis Afraid to Answer 5 “Yes” & “No” Questions of 4 Cardinals on if He Supports Heresy

July 20, 2022

November 18, 2016  

“Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” (Matthew 5:37)

Vatican expert Edward Pentin told EWTN:

 “[S]ources within [the Pope’s residence] Santa Marta [say] that the Pope is…boiling with rage” because of a letter from four Cardinals.

 On November 14, it was revealed that Cardinal Raymond Burke and three other Cardinals have specifically asked Pope Francis in a formal letter to deny heretical interpretations of Amoris Laetitia that are counter or in direct division to Veritatis Splendor as well as sacred Scripture and the Tradition of the Church.

Fr. Antonio Spadaro has dismissed the Pope “boiling with rage” reports on Twitter. 

Father Raymond de Souza called Spadaro the “mouthpiece of Pope Francis.” Aleteia journalist Konrad Sawicki said the priest is “closer to Pope Francis than most people in the world.”

 The “mouthpiece of Pope Francis” closeness to the pontiff should means his words in print or twitter carry great weight in understanding the mind and heart of the Pope.

However, despite Spadaro’s closeness to Francis it appears to mean that he cannot be considered a unbiased spokesman because of his polemic tone. 

He, to the astonishment of many, appeared to call Cardinal Burke “a witless worm” on twitter immediately after the letter was made public.


Spadaro claims he was calling himself “a witless worm” and would never mock cardinals or Church clerics. 

Unfortunately, his the recent past counters this claim. He has mocked cardinals and Church clerics who questioned the agenda of the Pope at the Synod.

Of his past verbally abusive tone, Catholic journalist Phil Lawler said:

“Still more troubling has been the polemical tone adopted by Father Antonio Spadaro, the editor of the Jesuit journal Civilta Cattolica, who has worked closely with Pope Francis throughout the Synod process. On his Twitter feed Father Spadaro has poured out barbs, mocking those who question the apparent direction of the Synod.”
 
Two friends of the Pope and newly made Cardinals (Cupich and Tobin) have in a mocking tone attacked the four Cardinals saying they need “conversion” and are “naive” in an apparent attempt to discourage them.

Other friends of Francis called the Cardinals “witless…schismatic, heretical, and even comparable to the Arian heretic” according to Bishop Athanasius Schneider.

The “mouthpiece of Pope Francis,”  the two Cardinals as well as the other friends of the Pope despite their name calling and belittling are obviously afraid to answer the 5 questions.

Instead of answering the “Yes” and “No” questions, they keep changing or diverting the narrative. Refusing to dialogue calmly, they belittle, verbally abuse and boil with rage.

Bishop Schneider in a statement said of these and the other friends of Francis that they are divisive in their “refusal to dialogue, and irrational rage.” He, also, said their ” violent and intolerant reactions…against the calm and circumspect plea of the four Cardinals causes astonishment.”

The statement of Bishop Schneider and the letter of the four Cardinals in their clarity, beauty and calm sharply contrast with the supporters of Amoris Laetitia rants.

Truth is beautiful and clear.

Whereas, deception hide behind ambiguity, verbal abuse, divisiveness, discouragement and a mocking tone that attempts to divert the subject away from the real question.

Deception is ugly and ambiguous.

As G. K. Chesterton said “Evil always takes advantage of ambiguity. Evil always wins through the strength of its splendid dupes.”

Dupe means victim of deception.

In the the name of Jesus Christ and his teachings, the Pope and his friends must simply answer the 5 simple questions and not change or divert the narrative with mocking smear tactics.

The famous Fr. Z explained how Spadaro and the other defenders of the ambiguity in Amoris Laetitia work. He calls them the “Smear Machine.” Fr. Z said:

 “They of the Machine use the standard scare-labeling (in this piece, Card. Burke is an ‘ultraconservative’) along with an unflattering photo. They cite their darlings (here, the infamous Timothy Radcliffe). They make their goofy surmises based on their deep knowledge of Catholicism (‘first step to declaring the pope a heretic the Church would be in unprecedented situation’).  They psychologize the ones they want to belittle.”  

Fr. Z failed to mention that Francis himself is the leader of the smear machine in psychologizing those they want to belittle. The Pope after the letter appeared, in an interview with the newspaper Avvenire, said:

“Where there’s not a nasty spirit, they can help you on the path,” he said. “Other times, you see quickly that criticisms taken here and there to justify pre-existing positions aren’t honest, they’re formed with a nasty spirit in order to sow division.”

These rigorisms, Francis argued, “are born from something missing, from trying to hide one’s own sad dissatisfaction behind a kind of armor.”

Despite the Pope and his friends attempt to discourage the Cardinals as well as isolate or divide them from the rest of the Church, they appear determined to continue. 

It does appear that the letter might be the “first step to declaring the pope a heretic.” If Francis refuses to respond he implicitly endorses heresy. The maxim of the law is “Silence gives consent.”

The Pope has two choices:

-To admit to error or heresy by silence

– To fight the heresies his ambiguity in Amoris Laetitia brought into the Church

If Francis chooses to remain silent and refuses to response to the letter, Cardinal Burke on November 15, in an interview with the National Catholic Register, said the Pope is in danger of receiving “a formal act of correction of serious error” from the Cardinals.

 

Oakes Spalding of the Mahounds Paradise blog said it best as to why Francis is afraid to answer the 5 “Yes” and “No” questions of the four Cardinals on if he supports heresy or not:

“The recent events involving Francis and his pontificate have been momentous. We may be witnessing the initial stages of an attempt to formerly “correct” a sitting pope for heresy.

 Four cardinals sent the Pope a formal document or ‘Dubia’ asking for clarification in the form of five simple Yes or No answers on the interpretation of the recent apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. The Pope refused to respond.

 Everyone knows why he refused. Pope Francis wants Amoris Laetitia to have a revolutionary effect on the Church. He wants it to be interpreted and taught by the bishops as allowing, among other things, communion for unrepentant adulterers.   
     
  This, is of course heresy – a contradiction of the words of Christ as well as the tradition of the Church –  and the Pope knows it. So, he can’t explicitly confirm that the document says this. On the other hand, he can’t explicitly deny that it says this, as this would largely quash the efforts of friendly bishops to put forward his desired heretical interpretation.

 So he refused to respond. And after a decent interval, the cardinals went public. Now the Pope and his men are predictably engaged in an intensive campaign to vilify the cardinals and anyone who might be allied with them.”

Pope Francis and his friends in refusing to answer the 5 “Yes” and “No” questions of the four Cardinals on if he or they supports heresy or not are refusing to follow Jesus Christ’s teachings:

“Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.” (Matthew 5:37)

 Father Louis Cameli, author of “The Devil You Don’t Know: Recognizing and Resisting Evil in Everyday Life,” wrote:

The everyday tactics of the devil are deception, division, diversion and discouragement. 

 These are the tactics Satan uses in his cowardly and below the belt dirty war against all mankind.
 
It appears that those who surround the elderly, almost 80 years old, Pope Francis such as Fr. Antonio Spadaro and others in his inner bubble are influencing others and even the Pope to use some of these tactics in a dirty war against the four Cardinals.
 
As I wrote in my article “If Pope Francis was President Reagan would the Media be Reporting Signs of Dementia?,” the Pope at the beginning of his office knew the difference between Catholic doctrine and his personal opinion.[http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2016/06/four-cardinals-challenge-pope-heresy.html?m=1, http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2016/12/dememtia-signs-pope-franciss-comments.html?m=1]

But, in the last few years, he has been showing signs of dementia and confusing the difference between opinion and defined infallible Catholic doctrine especially in interviews and so-called pastoral initiatives. 

 In these situations, he many times appears to be reflecting the views of those who have created a bubble around him.
 
Unfortunately, those in the bubble surrounding him are said to have a “paranoid style,” “conspiracy” thinking and appear to reject the most basic laws of reason according to reliable journalists.

EWTN commentator Robert Royal of Catholic Thing said:

 “He is clearly in a bubble” with persons who want “God to repeal the Laws of Non-contradiction” and who believe “conspiracy” theories that are “bizarre.”

 Also, journalist Phil Lawler of CatholicCulture.org said:

 It is ” likely…people surrounding Pope Francis” have a “paranoid style ” and have fallen into “conspiracy” thinking that “see enemies wherever there is resistance to their adenda.”

Francis, as he is closes in on 80 years old, appears to be overly attached to the style, thinking and opinions of those who were called dissenters under Pope John Paul II and are now called liberals who make up his inner circle.

 This, being overly attached to certain liberal clerics, is reflected in interviews where he makes bizarre papal statements such as couples in fornication are in a state of grace.
 
Also, in his apparent desire for unrepentant couples in adultery to receive Holy Communion which is always clouded in ambiguity.

This desire appears to be tied to his attachment to Cardinal Kasper and his ideas which Robert Royal says run counter the the Laws of Non-contradiction. 

 Dementia.com says a symptom of mid-stage dementia is becoming “overly attached to a certain person.”

In the “Signs of Dementia” article, I go over many other more explicit examples of losses of touch with reality and confusion that seem to indicate Francis’s possible mental unfitness.

If the elderly Pope Francis is mentally unfit he needs to resign his office. 

However, Francis can begin to show he doesn’t have dementia by apologizing for the bizarre statements he has made that are 100 percent opposite of defined infallible Catholic doctrine. 

Next, he needs to break free from the bubble of adviser who have ill advised him and apologize for the verbal abuse they have unleashed on the four Cardinals and others.

“Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers or…verbally abusive people, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.” (1 Corinthians 6:9- 11) 

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia. 

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

Words of Christ 
July 18, 2022

“If I were to show you what is coming,
It would take your breath away,
But My grace is sufficient to cover you.

But seek My face,
And avail yourself of every opportunity
To come before Me,
That you might be bathed in grace.
For what soon comes
Will take men to their knees,
And yet still many will not worship Me.
For the hearts of men have been gripped by evil,
And they cannot see
The light that shines so brightly upon them.

Be assured, though, that if you will but seek My face,
And come before Me,
That grace sufficient for the coming days
Will be poured upon you.

Indeed if I were to show you what soon comes,
It would take your breath away.
But be not dismayed
For My grace is sufficient,
And I will cover you.”

Blogger Tom Stahl reports, “At the beginning of July, in just 24 hours,  at least 11 vacationers dropped dead on Italian beaches.” 

Rairfoundation.com reports: As of July 2022, almost 48.7 million people in Italy have received two doses of the controversial Covid “vaccines,” roughly 90.1 percent of the total population over 12 years of age. Additionally, three out of four Italians have also received the booster shot.

While Stahl makes it clear that he does not want to automatically attribute the sudden and unexpected deaths to the experimental gene injections, the amounts of incidents seem worrying.

Medical emergencies on Italian beaches

The coast of Fondi, Italy:

On July 4, 2022, on the coast of Fondi: a healthy 70-year-old man walking on the beach with his wife at around 5 pm dropped dead.

Beach of Grado, Italy

On July 4, 2022, on the beach of Grado, an 85-year-old woman died. The woman felt ill while she was walking on the beach. The lifeguards and emergency services intervened immediately, but despite their attempts to revive the woman, there was nothing they could do. The couple had been on vacation in Grado since last weekend.

Island of Palmaria, Italy

On July 4, 2022, an 85-year-old retired Marine died on a beach island of Palmaria from a sudden medical emergency while swimming in shallow water.

Alba Adriatica, Italy

On July 4, 2022, an 82-year-old Apulian tourist dropped dead on the beach. It happened in Alba Adriatica on the Marconi seafront, near the Hotel Lido: the man felt suddenly ill. Despite being immediately rescued, he died during transport to the Giulianova hospital.

Marche coast, Italy

On July 1, 2022, an 84-year-old Tuscan tourist on vacation on the Marche coast with his wife died while taking a short swim. Lifeguards discovered the man’s lifeless body.

Northern Rome

On July 1, 2022, a fifty-year-old Ecuadorian on the beach with his wife and two children fell ill in the water and died.

Ardesio, Italy

On July 4, 2022, a 68-year-old man collapsed on the Seria river, and rescue workers could not revive him.

Silvi Marina, Italy

On July 4, 2022, a 72-year-old from Ortucchio, on vacation with his family in Silvi Marina, felt ill while swimming. The man flagged the lifeguards down, who brought him back to sure. Sadly the man died while being transported to the hospital.

Campania, Italy

On July 2, 2022, a healthy 67-year-old woman dropped dead on the shores of Campania. Two other people were saved after suffering sudden medical emergencies. The same day on Patrizia beach, rescuers were able to save 20-year-old suffering from respiratory arrest.

On July 3, a man suffered healthy man suffered a medical emergency in the water. He was saved by a nurse who performed a cardiac massage with a defibrillator. He was transported to the hospital, where he was treated.

Adda River, Italy

On July 3, 2022, A 36-year-old man from Senegal suffered a sudden medical emergency while bathing on a beach along the Adda River. The man was transported to the hospital but unfortunately died.

Basilicata, Italy

On July 4, 2022, a man died on the beach of Terzo Cavone after a sudden medical emergency. The media reports that he died after a sudden medical emergency.

Cala Liberotto, Italy

On July 4, 2022, a 79-year-old vacationer died while swimming after a sudden medical emergency. Resuscitation operations continued for a long time, but sadly, the woman could not be saved.

Marzocca di Senigallia, Italy

An 87-year-old tourist had an unexpected medical emergency while at sea in Senigallia and died. It happened in the morning at the seafront in Marzocca di Senigallia (Ancona). The man was in the water about ten meters from the shore when he collapsed.

The death list continues to grow

Meanwhile, the list of “unexplained deaths” and “sudden deaths” continues inexorably. This phenomenon is so common it even has its own acronym: SADS, for Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

While Italians prepare for their fourth Covid “vaccine” injections, the count of sudden deaths continues to rise inexorably – 11 under 60 years old in the last hours. The youngest victim was 22 years old; another was a 52-year-old doctor. All the deaths were “sudden and unexpected”:

• 52-year-old Doctor Pier Giorgio Paesano died
• 42-year-old Eligio Greco died 
• 45-year-old Guardia Mangano died
• 59-year-old Giuseppe Bottani died
• 51-year-old Rachid Khlifa died 
• 22-year-old Guardia Mangano dead 
• 59-years-old Giuseppe Bottani dead
• 63-year-old man dead
• 53-year-old man dead
• 48-year-old man, Danny, dead
• 33-years-old Mauro Libralesso dead
• 30-year-old boy from Varese, Mattia dead

Elected Italian officials, police, and medical workers should be demanding investigations into these deaths. Are the number of people dying not “significant” enough for them. Authorities’ inaction is a slap in the face to the victims’ families.

Biden and The Destruction of Wisdom

The Biden regime is decoupled from both the past and reality and quite capable of destroying Americans’ lives as they have known them.

By: Victor Davis Hanson

American Greatness

July 17, 2022

There used to be an agreed-on body of wisdom, which both Left and Right, Republicans and Democrats, generally accepted. Heated arguments and invective centered on implementations and methods of solving problems, which at least both sides agreed were problems. Both ideologies accepted a common core of wisdom, despite their radical differences in interpreting it.

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and especially Biden’s strange cabinet of loud Jacobin amateurs, reject the very hallowed knowledge upon which civilization is based. In that sense, the public has begun to recognize them as nihilists and anarchists. Nearly two out of three Americans in some polls hold unfavorable views of the Biden Administration. They fear that it is decoupled from both the past and reality and quite capable of destroying their lives as they have known them.

Nuke Nuttiness

Since late August 1949, a consensus emerged that nuclear powers, for good or evil, were treated differently in matters of global tensions than non-nuclear powers, given the chance of a nuclear conflagration. Arcane rules, but rules, nonetheless, grew up in the Cold War between the Soviet Union, China, the United States, Britain, France, and a few other nuclear states about the trip wires surrounding conventional conflicts. 

The agreed-upon wisdom from the Hungarian Revolution and Korean War to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Middle East wars was to ensure such confrontations did not escalate to nuclear exchanges.

No longer. In the last five months, there has been more idle talk and threats about nuclear warfare than in the 73 years since the Soviet Union got the bomb. In a rational world, there would be two Western agendas amid the Ukraine war: first, how to aid the Ukrainians to resist Russian aggression without destroying their entire country; second, how to do so without either provoking or allowing Russia to use a nuclear weapon, or to encourage other powers like China to consider such alternatives.

Not now. In the zeal to protect the Ukrainians from Russian aggression, Joe Biden has talked about removing Russian President Vladimir Putin from office, without details about how or when such an intervention would work. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has boasted on television of his own experiences in planning successful coup d’états, once a taboo subject. Pentagon officials have leaked in braggadocious ways the use of American intelligence that has aided Ukrainian assassination teams to kill high-ranking Russian generals. 

Bureaucrats, media strategists, and congressional leaders have openly boasted about selling Ukraine the necessary weaponry to bring the war home to nuclear Russia, whether that would entail raids inside Russia to destroy energy and logistical depots or sinking the Russian Black Sea Fleet through American-made, long-range shore-to-ship missiles. In response, Russian leaders, including Putin himself, have talked in Strangelovian terms about using nuclear weapons, to portray their aggression as victimhood worthy of a stronger, and apparently nuclear retaliation. 

The ancient idea that in the nuclear age you cannot always do what is desirable to bad nuclear powers is considered passé and deemed in need of a 2022 update.

Blowing Up the Border

Civilization used to accept that all nations in the modern era had borders, within which unique customs, traditions, language, history, and culture were nourished to promote a common civic identity. 

No more. Sometime in 2021, the Biden Administration blew up the entire hallowed concept of a border. It allowed what will soon be 3 million illegal aliens during a pandemic to enter unaudited, untested, unvaccinated, without English, without any background checks, and without consequences for violating federal immigration law. Biden ignores that millions of doses of toxic drugs are pouring across his nonexistent border, along with sex traffickers and cartel drug lords enriched by scalping transit fees. 

The president never states how the nation will pay for a massive influx of dependents, much less how small communities near the border will have adequate social services for their taxpayers under such massive pressures. As a rule, those destroying the border live far from the border. And they brand as racist any who object to the policies from whose deleterious consequences, they are exempt.

Why did Biden erase the southern U.S. border? Did a waning Democratic Party want new dependent constituents? Were corporate and business interests demanding new cheaper workers? Did the identity politics movement seek to replenish its assimilating ranks? Were unhinged globalists eager to reify their nihilist ideas of destroying all borders to establish a Davos-like ecumenical world overseen by transnational guardians such as themselves? 

Who knows and who cares? The damage is the same, regardless of the motivations of the nihilists.

Modern Monetary Madness

Ancient wisdom also held that too much circulating money chasing too few goods resulted in an inflated currency. Hyperinflation ensured radical damage to a nation’s very lifestyle, as it descended into a Hobbesian war of all hiking prices and wages against all forced to pay them. 

So what? Biden took a recovering economy, one fueled by massive deficit spending by three prior presidents, pent-up consumer demand coming after a nearly two-year lockdown, a labor force crippled by government-subsidized nonparticipation, COVID fears, and long-COVID disabilities—and printed new trillions of funny-money dollars. 

Biden would have printed even more trillions had not Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) saved for a spell his party from its nihilist madness. The creepy modern monetary theory behind such lunacy held that either money was a construct and the more of it printed the more people could spend it with retained value, or that any ensuing inflation would aid those without money and hurt those who had (ill-gotten) money. 

So it went, and now the American currency is being devalued at an annual rate of 9.1 percent. Retirement accounts have seen 20-40 percent losses, and years of annual contributions have gone up in smoke. The huge national debt cannot be serviced at the interest rates necessary to curb inflation without huge sums cut from entitlements or key elements of the budget.

The current self-created mess was foreseen and warned about by both Democrats and Republicans and ignored as racist, elitist, or irrelevant by the Left. In other words, Biden’s lunatic economic advisors believed they were either exempt from ancient realities or that their careers hinged on insisting they were so exempt.

The Green New Debacle 

Over the last 20 years, a consensus began to arise surrounding fossil fuel energy. While it was no longer so toxic, given radical improvements in emission reductions, the heat itself of nearly clean-burning fossil fuels might be contributing to “global warming.”

Therefore, gradually new technologies would for decades augment fossil fuels, then slowly they would supplant them. Finally, new energies would replace coal, oil, and natural gas with renewable or other non-heat-producing energies—all at an affordable cost for the middle class and with plenty of warning and time to make the necessary adjustments. 

Joe Biden simply blew up that paradigm. For a year during the campaign, in his half-educated shouts, he foolishly lectured the country that he would end all fossil fuel use, cancel pipelines, and put vast swaths of rich energy fields off limits. 

Biden did just that the moment he entered office, as well as lecturing lending agencies and financial groups not to loan to pipeline builders, frackers, and horizontal drillers. In truth, they were a heroic bunch who had made America energy independent, free from any need of an optional war in the energy-rich Middle East, much stronger vis-à-vis its two rivals Russia and China, and empowered by affordable transportation and industrial power.

Critical Legal Lunacy

Since ancient times, laws were seen as a response to human nature, often modulated by religion and government, sometimes imperfectly in the case of autocrats, theocrats, and dreamy utopians. Nonetheless, civilization accepted that stealing anything, assaulting anyone without cause, or destroying the property of others were crimes by nature. Punishment prevented their recurrence since their repetition would lead to mass disobedience and ultimately the unwinding of civilization. 

Critical legal theory subverts those ancestral wisdoms. It is embraced by many in the Biden Administration, who ignored massive riots, arson, and looting in summer of 2020. States such as California defined theft as a mere unpunishable mistake. 

Prisons were emptied. Most lawbreakers were not arrested. Most arrested were not indicted. Few among the indicted were convicted. Most of the convicted were not punished. The result is an epidemic of murder, assault, rape, theft, and chaos in our major cities, a return to the chaos of the 1970s as the streets after dusk are ceded to criminals who mock those who appease and empower their criminality.

Critical race theory, another campus parlor pastime of the academically incompetent and unproductive, posits that racism defines America. It can be cured only by endless and enduring reverse racism. 

Ancient truths in the process were entirely ignored, namely that humans are tribal and like fish or birds can naturally flock together by tribal, religious, ethnic, or racial affinities. 

Only a nation-state can supersede such innate characteristics by infusing a common civic identity that makes superficial appearance or creed incidental rather than essential to a citizen. Biden too has blown up that concept entirely by promoting identity politics and tribalism. 

The result is a growing fear that once the government encourages tribalism, then all must revert to the protection of their own tribe—or perish. 

Diversity—a euphemism for disunity—is our creed. We have taken all the abuses of the pre-Civil Rights era in the South—racial obsessions, one-drop fixations, segregated spaces and ceremonies, hiring and admissions by race, ignoring merit in favor of race, and racial demonization—and rebranded them as critical race theory. The Bidenites believe in the folly that 2022 reverse-racist man is inherently smarter and knows better than his racist predecessors—and thus can be a good racist rather than just a racist, which always means a bad racist.

Transgendered Fantasies

For centuries civilization agreed that there were two sexes. Scientists and doctors since antiquity, of course, accepted that in very rare cases, some men and women seemed dysphoric. To differing degrees, a tiny minority cross-dressed to mimic the nature of the opposite sex or more seriously felt trapped in their own bodies. Vocabulary from transsexualism to transvestism roughly identified a range of these rare disconnects. 

But no one believed that these maladies were common, or that one born with the primary and secondary sexual characteristics of one gender was in fact by his or her volition able to fully become the opposite gender or to construct a third, entirely separate gender identity. 

Not now. The country is torn apart by the insistence that there can no longer be just male or female restrooms, that biological males can rebrand themselves to their true nature as females and dominate women’s sports, and teens and even pre-teens can be given extremely dangerous and often carcinogenic drugs, as well as radical life-threatening surgeries, without their parents’ consent, and without firm medical knowledge of the eventual psychological and physical harmful aftermaths of such still experimental regimens. 

The Biden Administration has insisted that gender dysphoria is a national epidemic, that there are three sexes, and that males and females must concede that sexuality is a construct—and to the degree everyone in society must radically change their lives from learning new pronouns to expecting young athletes with male genitalia to undress in female locker rooms with their daughters.

Each time Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, Antony Blinken, Deb Haaland, Janet Yellen, Lloyd Austin, Pete Buttigieg, Alejandro Mayorkas, or Jennifer Granholm speaks to the public, the people conclude two things: these people are either crazy, incompetent, or ignorant of ancient human nature, and they were appointed to their positions for reasons that have nothing to do with either experience or competence. 

And the result is the rapid destruction of most wisdom as we once knew it.
