The SSPX and Full Communion with FrancisChurch

by

Bishop Fellay is in the news this week because he’s met with Francis and continues to receive open arms and to be treated as part of the Church without the distance to which he’s grown accustomed.  People marvel at this from a Pope who is such a liberal.  What does swinging nuChurch Francis have to do with those stuffy, staunch, old-world separatists?

Despite the new warmth, the persistently honest leader of this virtuous group of priests has responded to the FrancisOutreach by telling him his massive exhortation brought him tears.  He said it’s like a beautiful sinking boat with a hole in the bottom dug by the Pope.  God bless the Bishop, and I agree about it being a ship with a hole in it, though I’ve read many snippets and none of them seemed beautiful.

Still, I’m afraid for Fellay as are others, and we have good reason.

The SSPX group rejects the Paul VI replacement Mass and the errors in Vatican II.  They do not support Benedict’s hermeneutic of continuity, seeing it as an impossible blanketing-over.  Are there unCatholic messages in Vatican II?  Yes there are.  That Council in the end presented some new ideas which contradicted Church teaching and tradition.  It was not convened to put forth new doctrine and no new doctrine was affirmed decisively by a Pope.  It was ‘pastoral’ only.  Nevertheless it has predictably spread much trouble because people take it as doctrine, especially liberals.  Benedict recognized the break.  He said we’re just reading things out of context and blamed the media.

This has been the SSPX case when pressed by Rome to return to full communion.  But now, in FrancisChurch, no problem!  Here’s why this is happening.

Pope’s JPII and Benedict were there at Vatican II and supported it, but they weren’t its drivers.  Those behind Vatican II ultimately were radicals, men who did not hold the Faith and were interested in disabling it, replacing it.  Francis is of the same mind as those men who made it necessary for the SSPX to take their stand.  He’s not a hermeneutic of continuity guy, Francis.  He’s all about rupture.

The SSPX leadership truly seems to think Francis is simply employing his method of openness, dialogue and boosting peripheries.  This is naive.  Liberals only tout those corrosive platitudes as strategy.  Radicals don’t dialogue with the Truth, only with evil and error.  Faithful Catholics will always be a periphery to liberals, the more peripheral the better.  Francis has no interest in promoting the growth and reception of the SSPX, so what does he want?  There are two things.

Satan can create nothing.  He doesn’t have ultimate power over things. He can only find ‘hope’ in destruction.  In a sense he’s a parasite because he needs a host, a victim.  In the same way liberals would be powerless if they couldn’t hitch their wagons to good things that decent people have built.  They have to occupy and corrupt under the pretense of stewardship and good will.  They have to become judges, professors, actors, and scientists.  This is what they’ve done to our Church.

Today we have Francis, a man without Faith.  He is completely in line with the philosophical school behind the sixties program that skewered the Church.  Now he’s arrived to institutionalize the leftist replacement.  The irony is, however, that if he can’t convince people that he’s Catholic, he’ll lose his leverage.  He has to maintain the facade so that Catholics follow his deadly leadership.  He, more than John Paul or Benedict, knows he needs the SSPX.

Just like the LA Times understands Amoris Laetitia better than Ignatius Press, Francis knows that the SSPX is Catholic more than John Paul and Benedict did.  Winners have an awareness and respect for their opponents. He recognizes them as the sort of people they eliminated fifty years ago.  He knows their beliefs have an ancient power, that they grow if not checked.   Nevertheless Francis needs them desperately to come and make him seem Catholic, to legitimize him with their ‘union.’

That is the first reason.  The second reason, of course, is that he wants to ruin them.  Ruin is what happens when you ‘unite’ with a predator.  He can’t install his FrancisChurch with them around shining their light on it.  The SSPX must be integrated, then hollowed out.

How is Francis the liaison to broker this union?  A Protestant is entirely incapable of performing any of the functions a pope must perform.  Is this not true?  Does it matter that he’s extended his approval for SSPX to hear Confessions when he’s also recommended absolving a silent penitent just for showing up?  Do you think Oscar Romero was saintly?  Was Paul VI blessed?  Why for God’s sake?  How low are we going to go in our criteria?  We’re mass-producing.  Before you know it Heaven will have this sprawling encampment full of FrancisSaints.  Would you bet your soul on a new FrancisAnnulment?

What will they do someday with the thousand pages of formal FrancisTeaching and those plane interviews?  What will they say about the Catholic defenders and excusers when they’re dead?  What will Francis have to do before some of you admit he’s not Catholic?  Show me the line.

I hear so much about embracing the true pope, receiving his teachings with profound respect, and the work of the Holy Spirit.  This is all cowardly and presumptuous.  Deal with it!  We have a heretic in the papacy and, in the absence of anyone exercising their faithful duty to condemn him for it or remove him, he will go on wrecking the Church and doing everything to kill it.

And it won’t take long.  This isn’t like General Motors.  Francis isn’t a wrong-headed CEO making K-cars or PT Cruisers.  In the Church you either build up or destroy, you gather or scatter.

Pope Francis Just Blamed ISIS Murder on Faithful Catholics

by

SSPX Bishop Fellay is bemused this week as to the intentions of Francis.  Why is he so nice to us?  It’s obvious he doesn’t share our understanding of the Faith.  Maybe it’s because we’re marginalized or because he believes in dialogue?  Maybe it’s because we’re growing and evangelical?

They’ve made it clear that the Vatican is not putting up any walls to ‘unity.’  There isn’t a soul in the ‘traditionalist’ world who doesn’t advocate some prayerful path to full integration, but that would be a mistake.

It’s not complicated.  When the new agreement’s reached, the test of SSPX integrity and commitment will be their acceptance of a new FrancisBishop.  That oughta be nice.

Francis can only be trusted to lay a trap.  He’s not spiritually capable of canonizing saints, writing encyclicals, saying Mass, or even sounding Catholic.  He’s more Communist than Christian.  He can’t even tell the difference.  How could a Catholic group of priests submit themselves to a Church led by someone so profane and heretical?  This is no time.  Let’s not pretend.

The SSPX can’t unite itself to FrancisChurch because FrancisChurch belongs to the world.  Is there any difference at all between the Obama-GOP-Merkel reaction to this week’s Muslim bombing and the hierarchy’s?  Well maybe the bishops are worse.  It’s clear that the culture of death hates the born as much as the unborn because our deaths are no obstacle to their plans…but even the Church?

Yes.  Even the Church is embracing our destruction.  They are in complete alignment, and differ only for show.

How can we stand by and watch Francis and Obama persistently honor and legitimize the Castros?  First we have to see murder like Communists.  To a Communist, killing people is just breaking eggs and making omelets.  To a head crammed with leftist ‘philosophy’ it’s just doing good, sort of like ISIS.  ISIS fighters study ‘the prophet’ eight hours a day.  Do you know how much high-sounding leftist blather there is stuffed into Francis’ mind and into Obama’s?  It takes years of mental massaging to ground down one’s conscience.

Do you ever keep tally of Francis’ friends?  You have to ‘look at their deeds,’ you know (and excuse their murders.)

Maybe that’s why the Pope we are supposed to be tolerating, honoring, and embracing despite everything put the blame yesterday for the organized and exploding Muslim war against innocents squarely on faithful Catholics.

I was shocked the first time I heard Francis call the ISIS problem one of ‘fundamentalism,’ meaning people who are faithful to their religion.  It’s true that ISIS is faithful.  They embrace Islam in full.  They don’t let reason, truth, or light get in the way.  But how could a Pope blame their viciousness on the fact that they believe in a faith?

I was shocked again, but not surprised, when Francis attacked Catholic ‘fundamentalists’ directly, meaning me and anyone else who holds what the Church teaches.  This is the well-used tactic of Saul Alinsky.  Francis is isolating and freezing his target, the remaining Church militant.

But it was yesterday’s smear, exactly at the moment of murder, that struck me the most.  It’s not enough that the Pope refuses to mention Islam, he has to blame the true Christian faithful at the same time.  Is he on the side of the killers?

Of course he is.  They all are.  Anyone who promotes Muslim invasion as broadly and continually as Francis hates the Faith and the faithful, and sees massacre as breaking necessary eggs for some ‘common good.’

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t Let the FrancisMercy Fool You, Faithful Catholic

by
Sneaky, guilty, and up to no good

Sneaky, guilty, and up to no good?

In his passionate, battling manner Mundabor has an excellent point about the double-edge sword of FrancisMercy laid upon the planet on September 1st.

He doesn’t trust it.

As Mahound made clear, the outreach to those guilty of the sin of abortion is not really an outreach at all, but like all FrancisMercy it’s just a trick, a PR stunt designed to make Francis popular with the 999 out of 1,000 people who don’t understand Catholic teaching on Confession.

Almost everyone in the West thinks that Catholicism is backward and unforgiving, but most of all they think it’s changeable, because everything in their minds has been morphing their entire lives.  Most people think what they are given to think by the powers that be, yes?  Humanity and common sense creep in, but get quickly swept away in the hurricane of media and sin.  So they see Francis, the television tells them it’s a new Church now, and it makes perfect sense.

The powers that be know they actually can make a new Church.  They just did it in the 1960’s.  It’s eternal character didn’t change, but that doesn’t mean it’s not entirely different today.  The world got the Pope it wanted, he suppressed the Mass and the catechetics, relaxed the Church governance and voila’, a wrecked world.  The faithful Church in Quebec was crushed practically in a matter of months.  Today they just received the first shipment of death kits from their government.  Mission accomplished.

So now every unrepentant sinner is celebrating because the media told them to celebrate and because that rotten Church, which has been the source of their grief despite the fact that they never darken its doors, is now forgiving them.  Thank you Francis, the Pope of New Mercy.

In reality that effort wasn’t for anyone except Obama and UN.  It consolidates the FrancisBase, those herd of swine in the country of the Gerasens who, when filled with demons, run right off a cliff.  It wasn’t for the Church or the people. It was for the purposes of the media-backed FrancisProp machine.

Some say the jubilee mercy letter brilliantly places Confession in a good light with a huge chunk of the apostate world, but that doesn’t matter because it won’t help.  Those people don’t care.  They’re not going to run down to Confession now, learn the Faith, or practice it.  And as the Mahound said:

If the Pope were truly interested in offering absolution to those who were a party to abortion, he would implore them to see a priest today, not wait until the start of his own Jubilee Year on December 8.

It’s all just politics.

So what about the SSPX?  It’s a coincidence that the very same issue recently raised by Madison Bp. Morlino and touted by Fr. Z, that of ‘jurisdiction for Confessions,’ should come up as FrancisMercy just when it was being used as a cudgel.  Since the FrancisEra was imposed, Michael Voris, former leader of the faithful obedient Catholic stalwarts, and his friend Fr. Paul Nicholson, have been ranting against the ‘evil group of disobedient SSPX traditionalists’ and dividing Pope Benedict’s beloved movement.  Mundabor sees this latest FrancisMercy as an opening to more of the same.  According to him, it’s all about the Synod and neutralizing the opposition.

I do not trust this. I do not trust the time, I do not trust the motives, and most importantly I do not trust the person. I fear Francis even when he bears gifts, because a scheming and heretical pope cannot have in mind anything good for Catholicism.

A liberal is a liberal is a liberal.  You can’t be part liberal.  It just makes you liberal.  Just the same you can’t be part heretic.  There is nothing good or Catholic about liberalism. There are only faithful and unfaithful.  You have to accept the whole package, not hem and haw over interpretations, social justice and sustainability, and play rhetorical Parcheesi.  Everybody knows you’re a dishonest fraud and a cheat; a traitor to the cause.

The faithful Catholic establishment loves to remind us of Pope Paul VI and his chaos, how in the end he pulled through with Humanae Vitae.   Wow.  He did something Catholic.  The man suppressed the Mass of the Apostles, quite possibly one of the most destructive things anyone has ever done.  He gave us the notorious Cardinal Bernardin and the nasty bishops conferences.  He handed his tiara to the UN because he didn’t want to look fancy or powerful.  Nice.

I don’t think God appreciated those changes.  Those castaways meant something to Him.  But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just look around you, or are you unfamiliar with the appearance of death?  This world is a lot more like Venus today than Earth.  Do you know how hot it must be walking around Venus right now?  Have you heard of the boiled frog?

Francis is not both liberal and Catholic.  That’s impossible.  Doctrine is practice is application, and I’m not talking about recycling.  The entire planet knows for which team the Pope plays.  The only ones who don’t are we faithful foolish few.  We are the ducks for the big dinner.

I do not trust the time and the motives, because it seems to me that Francis is opening the war on the sacraments with a manoeuvre aimed at disorienting his enemy. He is “merciful” to the SSPX: how will the conservative Catholics, then, be angry at him when he is “merciful” to adulterers? I smell a huge German rat here, and whilst many German bishops will feign mock opposition or even mock indignation, I am pretty sure they all know where this is going to end, and will play the game for all they’re worth. Adultery is well worth an SSPX confession, and they will now shout even louder that once Francis is “merciful” to the “schismatic” SSPX ( I know, I know… slander and false accusations never get old) how can he refuse “mercy” to the oh so acutely suffering concubines and perverts?

But most importantly, I do not trust the person. Not for one second will I think that Francis has suddenly become an orthodox Catholic. Please understand that Francis is not pursuing a less heretical agenda today than he was yesterday. He will not start today to like the rosary-counting Catholics he so much despises. The Evil Clown that went to bed yesterday evening is the same that woke up this morning. Of course he is throwing a bone to the conservative crowd before he serves the sacrilegious entree to his heretical followers, or at least tries to let them have as much of the dish as he can.

“Throwing a bone to the conservative crowd before he serves the sacrilegious entree.”  Mundabor is right.  That sounds like just what we should expect from our papal Obama-fan.
