When the EPA Creates Catholic Doctrine, All Must Obey

FrancisChurch ‘catholics’ obey the new morality for you.

It’s important to remember that when we talk about the new FrancisGospel – so beloved by anti-Catholic technocrats and communists, and it’s dream of FrancisTopia, it would be a gross mistake to think its new moral code will be in any way voluntary.  I know, right and wrong, as they have been revealed to us by God and his saints, should be something we can generally choose, but that doesn’t have anything to do with it.

World leaders have a “moral obligation” to fight climate change, and top Obama aides are making good on that obligation with its climate rule for power plants, two administration officials write in a new blog post.

Environmental Protection Agency head Gina McCarthy and Ambassador to the Vatican Ken Hackett wrote Monday that the EPA’s carbon rule fits with Pope Francis’s moral call to action on climate change released last month.

“He makes clear our moral obligation to prevent climate impacts that threaten God’s creation, especially for those most vulnerable,” McCarthy and Hackett wrote in the post on the EPA’s blog and The Huffington Post.

The officials lay out various harms of climate change, such as the effects of higher sea levels on the island nation of Tuvalu and increased extreme weather throughout the world.

“For all these reasons, the U.S. government, through the EPA, is taking steps to make good on our moral obligation,” they wrote. “Later this summer, the agency will finalize a rule to curb the carbon pollution fueling climate change from our nation’s largest source — power plants.”

See?  It’s just morality.  The EPA chief even helped Pope Francis write an encyclical to make it actual Church teaching.  No big deal.  Now an EPA rule is a Catholic Church rule for all time, yes?

Don’t like the sound of all this?  Don’t worry.  McCarthy and Ambassador Hackett are both ‘Catholic’ so it’s all internal and within the fold, so to speak.

McCarthy, a Catholic, has highlighted Francis’s encyclical in recent weeks to promote the carbon rules, which will seek a 30-percent cut in the power sector’s carbon by 2030.

She also traveled to Vatican City in January to meet with top church officials and discuss Francis’s encyclical and administration officials’ work on climate, including the power plant rules.

Get used to this.  Before it’s all over the only people left who don’t hate our new FrancisChurch will be mid-level government bureaucrats scrambling for position, Hollywood stars, Jesuits, and a few gay people.

 

 

 

 

 

Francis Leaves Communist Crucifix at the Feet of Our Lady of Dialogue

Praying to 'purify the impure' for FrancisChurch?

Praying to ‘purify the impure’ for FrancisChurch?

The Eponymous Flower has a recap of the Pope’s flight home from Paraguay where he was asked about the revealing gift he received from Communist dictator and admirer, Evo Morales.

On the return flight to Rome Pope Francis answered a few questions for the accompanying journalists on the plane. The Catholic Church leader was asked also to explain the provocative gift made the Pope of the hammer and sickle with Christ from the Bolivian President Evo Morales. Vatican Radio published the questions and complete answers in the original language.

Aura Vistas Miguel (Portugal Vaticanist): “Holiness, how did you feel when you saw the gift of President Morales with sickle and hammer with Christ? What became of this subject?”

Pope Francis: “I – it is strange – did not know that and did not know that Father Espinal was a sculptor and a poet. I have learned that during  these days. I’ve seen it and it was a surprise for me. Secondly: It can qualify as a genre of protest art. For example, there was an exhibition by a brave, creative Argentine sculptor  in Buenos Aires a few years ago. There was protest art, and I remember a work that showed a crucified Christ on a bomber coming down. This was a critique of Christianity, which is allied with imperialism, represented as a bomber.

The trip through Latin America has been enlightening for the whole world.  Many people have not been able to relate to the way Francis thinks, it’s so entirely radical.  But that is the world from which he’s emerged.  Being a Latin American Jesuit must be something like spending your entire life at sea.

When questioned about that evil Crucifix, his resentment is right at the surface. His mind goes right to an ‘imperialist’ (American?) bomber.  In FrancisUniverse, nothing Catholic can be taken for what it is.  It has to be seen in light of some campaign, some ugly battle.  Is it possible for Francis to see Christ’s death for what it is?  No.  It must be attached to the cause.

But Pope Francis must now walk back and reassure.  There are ‘many currents’ to liberation theology, see.  The sliver condemned by the Church was just one.

First point: So I knew nothing about it; Second point: I qualify it as protest art that can be offensive in some cases. In some cases. Third, for this particular case: Father Espinal was killed in 1980. That was a time when the liberation theology had many different currents, one of them was the Marxist analysis of reality, and Fr. Espinal belonged to this. I knew because I was at that time Rector of the Faculty of Theology and they talked a lot about it, and who their representatives were in the different currents. In the same year  the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Father Arrupe, wrote a letter to the whole society about the Marxist analysis of reality in the theology that he stopped a little, saying, No, you can not. These are different things, you can not do that, that’s not right. And four years later, in 1984, the CDF published the first small volume, the first statement of the Liberation Theology, which criticized it.

They didn’t like hammer and sickle crucifixes in those other currents – too much like communism, right?  You didn’t like it either.

If Fr. Espinal was part of the ‘bad liberation theology,’ then why did you lay flowers at his grave, praise his ‘martyrdom’ and his fight, accept his twisted cross, lay it at the foot of Our Lady?  Is the Pope losing track of all the currents out there?  No.  It’s just ‘inter-liberation theological’ dialogue.

Dialogue is so important.  Without it, you’d never get away with anything rotten.

Then came the second, which was more open to the Christian outlook. I simplify, of course. Let’s take a hermeneutics of that era.   Espinal is an enthusiast of this Marxist analysis, as well as theology, for which he used Marxism. Hence comes this.  The poems of Espinal belong to this genre of protest, but it was his life, it was his way of thinking, he was a special man with a lot of human genius, and who fought in good faith. As I have done such a hermeneutics, I understand this. For me it was not an insult. But I had to make this hermeneutics, and I say this to you, so that no false opinions arise. This object is with me now, it’s coming with me. You may have heard that President Morales wanted to give me two honors, the highest award of Bolivia and then the Order of Fr. Espinal, a new order. Well, I have never accepted a ceremony that does not suit me. But he did it with a lot of good will and the desire to do me favor. And I thought that that comes from the people of Bolivia – I’ve been praying for it and I thought: If I bring it to the Vatican, where it goes to  a museum and no one sees it. So I thought to offer it to the Virgin of Copacabana, the Bolivian Mother, so that it goes to the Sanctuary: The work will be in the Sanctuary of Copacabana, together with the two awards that I received. Christ, however, I take with. Thanks. “

I have never accepted a ceremony that does not suit me?  I left the communist crucifix in the Ecuadoran church where it wouldn’t be hidden away?

This pope is all fight.  He twists and bends but he doesn’t really give.

 

 

 

Pope Francis and the Marks of Communism

Man with a plan and a job to do

Man with a plan and a job to do

When Christendom began to fall in the north and the modern elites started to consolidate power, banking engulfed us, industries formed, and men became more and more debased and enslaved; what was once right and wrong became only Right and Left. The realities of good and bad didn’t change, just our understanding of them.

The terms ‘Right and Left’ were given to us during the French Revolution. (The most confusing terminology in our lost world has been handed to us by Leftists. When you bind the language you have control.)  Ronald Reagan corrected this orientation for us. ‘Right and left’ is misleading. Reagan said it’s really ‘up and down.’

It helps to consider that when the Son of Man is lifted up, He draws all men to Himself. In that case up points toward good. But when the cross is pulled down, as it is so often today, ‘up’ becomes Right.

After the Reformation, and deprived of the Holy Sacraments, the common mind darkened and the truth above became obscured by a cloud. All could see the ground below, but only the faithful Catholic could see blue sky through the cloud. What was before ‘holy or worldly’ had become either ‘conservative or liberal.’ One could still be worldly and follow the world the same way, but following the truth became more difficult and our collective knowledge of it weaker without the Church.

Today, as more and more truths are pushed out of the modern awareness, we have to look to the past to find them. So they call us old fashioned and conservative, but we just have a natural love of truth in a post-Christian empire.

People are right to say that conservative thinking is limited, but at least it’s pointed in the right direction: toward a society of truth that preceded our own. But liberalism is still nothing but worldliness and is always wrong in every age. Put simply: not everything old or traditional is good, but there’s nothing good about liberalism.

Why is worldliness bad, and why do the true saints warn against it? They know that we sheep can only follow either the Good Shepherd or the bad one. Our Lord has named the prince of this world and chasing him is the same business for all time. There is no real difference between philosophical or political liberalism and Christian liberalism. They are both faithless. Don’t be fooled. There are no aspects of liberalism worth pursuing. They only lead to sin and death.

When Christendom began to fall and the modern order to form, the old governments of kings and men deteriorated, becoming increasingly wordly. It didn’t happen everywhere at once. It was like a receding tide, with waves of truth rushing in less and less frequently. People think the other side of Christendom is some kind of free happiness of ordered reason and virtue. At the least it’s a return to paganism, right? But that’s just not true. The other side of Christendom is North Korea first, then Hell second.

Pope Francis

Pope Francis is everywhere promoting a new world order which is essentially communism in its contemporary face. He unleashes the formally corked, yet highly developed faux-Christian radicalism of liberation theology worldwide, even shamelessly embracing old-school communists as he strides the world like an Oscar winner. He uses Christ and His Church, but he is not one with it. He is a communist and that is heresy.

The Church has four marks: it’s one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. If you use these marks to discern what is or is not the Church, you’ll find it’s usually not where people say it is. Most ‘catholic’ people and institutions simply do not demonstrate most of these four marks.

Communism, which is the advanced end of Liberalism or worldliness, can also be discerned by four marks. These are lying, cheating, stealing, and killing. A communist society descends upon men in the name of ‘justice’ or ‘social justice,’ but it is in no way just.

Pope Francis accepted this week a gift from Evo Morales, a communist dictator, friend, and great admirer. It was a corpus nailed to a hammer and sickle, the classic sign of godless communist totalitarian states. Francis had just honored and prayed for Fr. Luis Espinal, the Jesuit creator of that abomination, at the site where he’d been murdered for his communist activism. FrancisChurch venerates and promotes the sainthood causes for many such men. He smiled, received the thing, and mumbled something conversational, which the entire conservative press then falsely reported as a rebuke so desperate were they to hide the bare truth. But this tiny lie, along with Francis’ other few and meager words against communism do not by any means make him not a communist. His entire papacy is a communist vehicle. In two years he can claim a mountain of destructive actions and statements. He is what the American socialist establishment likes to call ‘a transformational figure.’ In short, Francis demonstrates the four marks of communism quite well.

For one, Francis spreads lies.

Francis ascribes thoughts and motives to our Lord that only a fool would have. He makes Our Lady rash and witchy. He invokes the name of the Holy Spirit for the most twisted and faithless excuses. The Gospel is not about the poor and ‘marginalized.’ That would be an enormous misunderstanding of the deposit of faith, but it’s Francis’s, and he lies when he says it’s also the Church’s. In his words the Gospel makes no sense without the poor. We should ‘kneel before the poor in Church.’

Prior to every papal trip Francis asks for Our Lady’s prayers at her Church in Rome. Then he visits with a few homeless corralled in for him to touch. The realities of these two routines are inseparable for Francis. For him the Catholic faith is only about revolution, social revolution, a new economic order. It’s all lies.

His histrionic encyclical, Laudato Si’, is hundreds of pages worth of false science, cruel accusations, demagoguery, and destructive commands in the name of Christ.

Francis cheats.

He openly flouts the liturgical rubrics that bind the Mass and make it universal. It’s bad enough that he’s a vigorous promoter of the fabricated protestantized Mass we must endure and has contempt for the Ancient one; he also feels the need to give lawless example. It isn’t enough they’ve brazenly eliminated what no Pope had ever dared to suppress; these new rules must also be rejected in order to send a message of what? Chaos? Human Egotism?

A hallmark of the destructive Francis papacy is the misapplication of mercy, as if it were something he and his notorious gang of heretics had the right to fling everywhere in the name of God. Like a Baptist, he tells Bolivian prisoners he has been saved from his many sins. His October 2014 Synod was a farce and a stunt. Hyper-streamlined annulments are on his agenda and baptisms for gay ‘parents.’ He’s spurned the entire ancient saint-making apparatus completely, leaving no input for God or man.   He does not see the doctrines and moral truths so much as guides to follow, but rather as things to use and bend toward some sentimental, materialist, and utopian goal. Francis breaks rules. He cheats.

Francis preaches stealing.

Francis peppers every speech with calls for ‘just distribution of wealth,’ equality, and advocacy on behalf of the poor and the ‘oppressed.’ The miracle in the loaves and the fishes is the attitude of sharing. Holy Communion is about helping the least.

Francis says alms are obligatory. He says wealth distribution is not philanthropy but morally required. Who does Francis think he is that he can order people to give their own money away? If alms are legally obligatory, they are no longer alms. They are simply taken from you at gunpoint. This is what socialists call ‘social justice.’   None of their schemes are voluntary.

Every judge knows that administration of justice means inflicting pain on some perpetrator of a crime, but for Francis and his gang of fans worldwide, those who ‘possess’ unequally are criminals and taking from them is justice.

Francis helps and enables killing.

Francis is a political ally of the murderous Left: the UN population controllers, the Obama admin, the Castros and the dictators, the Palestinians. They inform his papacy and they praise him up and down because he promotes their inhuman agendas everywhere in the name of Christ’s Church. They count on him to bend the minds and hearts of Christians in favor of their goals and he performs. Using the Church, Francis normalizes cruel states like Cuba then betrays free and just places like Israel to ruthless enemies.

Francis has openly corrected the pro-life movement and the waved a white flag at the sexual agenda. He says some faithful things in the press but his FrancisBishops are all ‘social justice’ liberals who spin and capitulate. Among the hierarchy, the lavender mafia has never been more powerful and Francis’ Synod sacrilege moves steadily toward its goal.

Francis is a pacifist and an enemy of criminal justice. Without true justice, criminals kill and make war on the innocent. He calls arms makers un-Christian while relying upon them like anyone else. He stands on a rock in the Mediterranean and waves countless Muslims into Europe along with their murderous associates, then he attacks those who try and defend the Christian continent from the ruin that must necessarily come. As Pope, Francis is a friend and advocate for thugs and murderers around the world and no friend to the helpless, the weak, or the just.

Hard Questions

In closing, as a special request to members of the Catholic press who are keen to tell us Francis’ communism is just Catholic teaching, or that he’s being manipulated, or how Vatican II commands us to have a ‘preferential option for the poor,’ or that the Laudato Si’ manifesto is helpful and harmless since we can freely ignore its science and its specific recommendations yet somehow tease out its moral message for observance: please answer my questions:

  • Why did Francis ask Christ to make the impure, scandalous, or threatening become miraculously good at the Synod? What does he mean? Why is Fr. Lombardi sure he meant nothing specific?
  • Why do tinpot Marxist dictators feel comfortable handing communist faux-Christian abominations to Pope Francis? Why has he done little to combat this perception?
  • Why did the worldwide conservative media quickly publish the lie that the pope rejected the communist Hammer and Sickle Jesus as blasphemous, when he actually accepted it in a smiling and gracious way.
  • Why did Pope Francis pray and lay flowers at the murder site of the Jesuit who designed his new hammer/sickle crucifix? Why did he say, ‘He preached the Gospel, and this Gospel troubled them, so they eliminated him?’
  • Why does the ‘faithful ‘c’atholic press say ‘useful idiotic’ things such as, “Francis wasn’t endorsing Fr. Espinal’s communism, just his love?”
  • Why does Francis continue to collaborate with openly socialist groups like the World Mtg. of Popular Movements, openly calling for a ‘truly communitarian economy,’ and then telling us it would be of ‘Christian inspiration?’
  • Why does our Pope blast the ‘economic order’ and invent new ‘sacred rights’ to labor, lodging and land from others. Why does he share a podium with a man wearing a picture of mass-murderer, Che Guevara, on his jacket?
  • Why did Pope Francis say that taking people’s resources and redistributing them isn’t philanthropy. It’s morally required. Why does he tell the world he’s happy to see a communist dictator again?
  • Why does Pope Francis call leaders who stand for justice and truth by rejecting Marxist global warming schemes cowardly?
  • Why does Pope Francis preach his own Gospel, where the Holy Eucharist is supposed to cause us to reject individualism, and demand exchange, encounter and solidarity?
  • Why does the Vicar of Christ apologize for Christian Civilization and call it brutal. Why does he call capitalism the evil ‘dung of the Devil?’
  • Why are respected and faithful conservative Catholics so eager to ignore the enormous reality of a heretical Liberation Theology Pope, even going so far as to subtly sideline faithful Catholics who protest, and pounce upon any unreasonable rationale for his words or deeds.
  • Why does the pope order all Catholics to ‘kneel before God and implore forgiveness’ for the colonialist sins of their forefathers? Is it doctrine now that we must make silly apologies even to God for things we didn’t do, or for slurs anti-Catholics hurl at His Church?

Things are grim.  Let’s not pretend.  It’s no day to compromise nor to side with the enemy.    We must look at the Pope Francis situation squarely because the men behind him have no illusions about us.
