The abyss between Prevost and his namesake, Pope Saint Leo I, grows deeper with every passing month. The latter held fast to the belief that everything said and done as pope represented Jesus Christ, and St. Peter. He didn’t offer lame platitudes of peace but spent his papacy keeping the peace, outside and inside the Church, even as the Western Roman Empire was in final disgraceful freefall.
Leo I was willing to give his life for the defense of his flock, the Christian people. He did not fear a face-off with Attila, known as “the Scourge of God” and leader of the Hun barbarians about to plunder Italy after laying waste to Asia Minor and eastern Europe. The pope astonished the mad tyrant, berating him and daring to say: “ Thou, who hast conquered others, shouldst conquer thyself.” It was a miraculous moment because Leo I had the holy courage to be a channel of the grace and humility of the God he served. It was said that St. Peter himself appeared by Leo’s side with a heavenly sword. Attila duly backed off “in peace” and withdrew beyond the Danube.
Leo I was also praised for his tireless fight against the Pelagian heresies spreading among Christians at the time. The Pelagians were “humanists” who downplayed God’s grace and taught that a person could achieve his own goodness by his own will. Leo condemned and anathemized Pelagius’ three main beliefs: “Adam’s sin injured only himself, so that his posterity were not born in that state of alienation from God called original sin.” “It was accordingly possible for man, born without original sin or its innate consequences, to continue to live without sin by the natural goodness and powers of his nature; therefore, justification was not a process that must necessarily take place for man to be saved.” “Eternal life was, consequently, open and due to man as a result of his natural good strivings and merits; divine interior grace, though useful, was not necessary for the attainment of salvation.”
In our own times, alas, far from exposing and warring against this heresy, Leo XIV is proudly flaunting the Pelagian mantle of the Bergoglian papacy. He is making a mockery of the very name and life of Pope Saint Leo I.
The Sheep Are Befuddled. In the face of Leo the False St.Paul might write a letter, or reach for his sword.
No Kneeling in Argentina; no communion on La Lengua; No Mantillas. Sounds like the Charlotte Swishop / Leo Agenda taking flight in Argentina.
And in my diocese, Dolan hits a new low with that comic-book mural: ugly, stupid and false. Just like like White Sox Leo, Cheesehead Dolan riffs on the opposite of Three Transcendants the True the Good and the Beautiful.
