Press release:

As we approach the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s revolt against the Church, Pope Francis and the representatives of the Lutheran World Federation will participate in a joint liturgy in the Lutheran Cathedral in Lund, Sweden, followed by an ecumenical gathering in the nearby town of Malmö. This deeply troubling event, presided over by Pope Francis and Lutheran “bishops”, has the ostensible purpose of celebrating an event that led to centuries of bloodshed and the ultimate wreck of Christendom. These questions need to be asked: Why celebrate? Why should we be joyful about an event that led to the eventual demise of Western civilization? How can the Pope participate in such a scandalous event?

Representatives from The Fatima Center are in Lund and Malmö to remind Catholics, and the world, that there can be no reconciliation between truth and error. We will hold a press conference (details below) to set out our grave concerns and to invite all who share them to join us in our protest of this travesty, which confounds reason and insults the Catholic Faith and all who fought and died for it in the bloody revolution begun by Martin Luther. (For more about Luther and his beliefs, please see our daily news releases at www.fatima.org.)  We will distribute literature that explains in simple and clear language the differences that separate Catholics and Lutherans. We will offer Rosaries in reparation for this scandalous event and for the conversion of those who have fallen away from the Faith. Let us all appeal to Our Blessed Mother to shower us with the graces we need to come together again under Her mantle as one family, united in the truth.

We hold no enmity toward Lutherans, but we cannot pretend that contradictory beliefs can both be true, or that no contradiction exists, when it clearly does. Nothing can be built on a foundation of lies, no matter how many sweet words are poured forth and how many ecumenical embraces occur. Through Luther’s cry of “Faith Alone” and his rejection of the dogmatic and sacramental theology of the Catholic Church, Europe was shaken to its foundation and we live among the ruins. The only way to put the pieces together again is to invite those who have left the One True Church to return to Her loving embrace and receive the graces waiting for them in the sacraments instituted by Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

What is at stake is the salvation of souls. Since there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, we must do all we can, in the spirit of fraternal charity, to help those who have left their spiritual home to return to it. Love demands the truth, and the truth will set us free.

KASPERCHURCH: OH, THERE IS A SCANDAL HERE.

 

I keep reading how, if this Islamization of Europe and North America gets worse, there’s going to be a civil war.  A ‘new Lepanto’ is in the works.  How is that?

What do our ‘conservative Catholic’ friends think of Our Church today?  They treat it as if the true Church Militant has some resemblance to the bishops, buildings, schools, hospitals, and vast majority of people living among them.  They make blurred distinctions between someone who holds the Faith and someone who’d like to pretend to, between a Catholic and a Protestant or a ‘nice person’.  They hurl insults at faithful Catholics shocked at their betrayals crying, “Why do you attack us?  We’re on the same side.  We only differ in ‘strategy!”

Why is it every atrocity a liberal Catholic contrives is always some strategy for success?  Why is their constant promotion of statist power a matter of ‘prudential judgment’ when there’s nothing prudent about it?  How can these esteemed Catholics claim to be soldiers who support the cause of Christ, and the rest of us ‘armchair warriors’, when their entire reputations are contingent upon paychecks from enemy institutions?  Why do our former, pre-Francis friends keep trumpeting their loyalty just as they stick in the knives?

That’s why we could never have a Lepanto today.  A Lepanto requires a Church and a faithful people.  If you can’t draw a clear line between the Church and the thing outside it, how can you understand the Jihadi?  If you can’t see an eternity of Hell awaiting heretics and their abettors, then a thousand years of hopeless Islam on the other side of Christendom seems equally absurd to you.

And don’t hand me that “the Church was ever thus” line. It was not ever thus.  We live in a terrible, terrible world and it’s the Church’s fault first, not the world’s.  The world has always belonged to its prince.  The Church, as it was ever thus, was absolutely necessary to the integrity of civilization.  Even at its decaying frontiers, its healthy proximity infused some grace.  That was then.

Francis is not a pope of Lepanto.  He’s not even a Catholic. He’s not a repentant Peter.  He’s a Judas.  He may as well wear a turban because he’s done nothing but please the ruthless followers of Muhammad, giving them everything they want, swinging his clumsy rhetorical club at any Catholic who gets in their way.  He oversees distribution of many millions of state-funded dollars worldwide for Islamization of once-Catholic communities. That is his Church and it’s not yours or Christ’s.

No.  This isn’t Lepanto.  This is what happens, what has always happened, to Christian societies whose bishops fail, since the time Our Lord first permitted Islam to arise and become the fate of their abandoned sheep.

I’m sorry, but if you want to have a Lepanto, you have to have a Church.
