Holy Year of FrancisMercy: Think Twice Before You Float Through That Door

Prelates World-Wide Pass Through Holy FrancisDoors In Meaningful New Ceremonies For Mercy’s Sake

FrancisRamblings are insane, but they aren’t designed to make sense.  They’re supposed to make people believe lies.  If I were a student of the history of Protestant sects or cults and their leaders, I’m sure I would find that Francis fits a type.  Luther was similar.  You have to be a master of spin and false dichotomy.

At Mass this morning Francis said:

“Hope is a Christian virtue that is a great gift from God and that allows us to see beyond problems, pain, difficulties, beyond our sins. It allows us to see the beauty of God”.

That sounds pretty good, until we get to the part where we can ‘see beyond our sins’ through the virtue of hope.  Francis is so determined to make people think their sins don’t matter.  Is hope a virtue that allows us to see the beauty of God?

No one can see the beauty of God, but a pure heart helps you appreciate beauty.  What Francis seems to be referring to sounds more like piety.  Oooops.  Did I say something rigid?

According to Vatican Radio, Pope Francis stressed this during his daily morning Mass at his residence Casa Santa Marta, underscoring that those who have hope have the freedom and strength to see beyond the bad times, as well as opens up horizons and gives us freedom.

Why are these liberals always opening things and looking off to some horizon somewhere else?  Why do they call careless license ‘freedom?’

Reflecting on today’s Gospel, in which the chief priests question Jesus and ask with which authority does He act, the Pope said: “They have no horizons, they are men who are locked in their calculations, they are slaves to their rigidity”

Do you know why the pope hates the word ‘calculations,’ because it sounds like money, like people who are careful with money, and people who have money.  Pope Francis hates money.  He’s above money.  You don’t need money when you float about on a spiritual cloud of higher knowledge, looking past your sins and off to that free horizon of hope.  You don’t need money when you go around greasing wheels, slapping backs, and turning screws either.  A contempt for money, its inherent justice, and the power it bestows is integral to the true church of Francis.

FrancisChurch isn’t about hope and mercy.  It’s about enemies and targets.  Enemy #1 is power.  Enemy #2 are Catholics.  Both enemies have something Francis wants.  He wants power for his benefactors and he wants the Church so he can kill it, I mean,  ‘fix’ it.  In his mind, actual Catholics are the same as ruthless rich bastards who enslaved civilization for eons.  They both comprise a regime that must be dismantled.  They are united in their evil ‘rigidity,’ in a solidness that won’t give way without radical force.

It sounds preposterous and it is. It’s also communism, and for some reason it just won’t die.

“Human calculations,”  the Pontiff warned, “close hearts and shut out freedom”, while “hope gives us levity.”

Levity?

Meditating on the Book of Numbers Francis says:

Balaam opens his heart, repents and sees the truth, Francis noted, because “with good will one always sees the truth. Truth that gives hope.”

While Francis reflected on the beauty of freedom, of the hope of men and women of the Church, he also criticized the rigidity of others in the Church and “that clerical stiffness that contains no hope.”

Truth gives hope.  Hope gives levity.  Freedom is beautiful.  Something is always connected to something else in the aimless wandering of FrancisCosmos, except for rigidity.  Rigidity and clerical stiffness is not related to hope at all.  It has no hope, like the inhabitants of Hell.  Your heart is closed and not like an open door at all.  If you believe, you are stiff.  You need to move or be moved. You have only hopelessness to offer.

“In this Year of Mercy,” the Pope said, “there are these two paths: one of those who hope in God’s mercy and know that God is the Father; and then there are those who take refuge in the slavery of rigidity and know nothing of God’s mercy.”

Two paths?  I thought in the Year of Mercy there was but one path for all and none were excluded.  There are no longer any boundaries or criteria to the Catholic Faith nor to Heaven, and exclusion is against God.  You just step through the door of FrancisMercy and suddenly the mercy of God is imbued into you.  You may now look past your sins because everybody has sins. It doesn’t matter what they are or if you repent them.

So on the other side of the Holy Door of FrancisMercy, after I’ve walked through it partaking now of a new Mercy never before known, I can still go down two paths.  Next year maybe there will be just one path again, but for a year there’re two – just like this year you can go to Confession at an SSPX chapel and it works!

Next year it’s a sin and it might not work, but this year it does and there are also two paths.

Path 1: Hope in God’s mercy and know God is Father.

Path 2: Try and take refuge from my radical Church-wide anathema, be a slave to your rigid Faith, and know nothing whatsoever of God’s mercy.

In the year of FrancisMercy, FrancisMercy is the only mercy.  If you’re too rigid for that, go to Hell.

All around the world today there are pictures of ridiculous looking bishops stepping through special FrancisDoors for what?  Is that really a blessing, honoring a man who hates the Faith of Christ by doing his ceremonial dance of presumption and contempt?  Read the man’s words.  If you are a Catholic, that door brings a curse, and cursed you very well may be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More Pap From the People’s Pope

Jesus’s Favorite Kind of Guy?

Does Pope Francis make a fetish out of some academic, ideological notion of ‘the people?’

The capacity to recognize ourselves as sinners opens us to the astonishment at the encounter with Jesus: that was the message of Pope Francis Thursday morning during Mass for the feast of Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church.

Pope Francis’ homily focused on the day’s Gospel reading which tells the story of the miraculous catch of fish. After working throughout the night without catching anything, Peter, trusting in Jesus, cast his nets into the sea. The Holy Father used this story to speak about faith as an encounter with the Lord. First of all, he said, it pleases me to consider the fact that Jesus spent the greater part of His time in the street, with the people; then, later in evening, He went away by Himself to pray – but He encountered the people, He sought the people.”

I have never gotten this message from the Gospel myself.  From what I’ve read, Jesus was just as likely to be at a beautiful wedding, with the doctors in the Temple, or at the home of an important person as among the sick and lame in the street.  How did he ‘recline at table’ if he was huddling in the road all the time?

Sinners are everywhere and Jesus is a King.  He wasn’t a stranger to power and responsibility.  He could relate to it.  He was of course a leader Himself.  I don’t believe Pope Francis or his contemporaries in the hierarchy when they try to paste this ‘preferential option for the poor’ onto Christ.

Wealth is a great temptation, but Jesus didn’t avoid the wealthy, and if they were hardened and proud, he didn’t reject them either.  He scolded the Pharisees because it was for their own good, not because he loved them less.

Christ prefers the repentant faithful.  That’s who he prefers.  He’s not a Communist.

 

 

 

New Sins In FrancisChurch Just Keep Accumulating

by
A sin

Ruled as Insufficiently Compelling

Pope Francis has made his universally broad new environmental Catholic doctrine mandatory.  Obey or you’re not a true Christian!  You have no choice in the matter because I’m the Pope of course.

How do we specifically comply with this new teaching from God?  There are millions of media outlets, government funded institutions, and ‘Catholic’ establishments who will provide the necessary action items.

For two years I taught social studies at an inner-city high school; for six years I ran a Catholic Worker shelter for homeless families. Then, almost 20 years ago, I became a full-time animal advocate, confident that such labor is integral to Catholicism.

As one might expect, I received plaudits from fellow Catholics for my anti-poverty and educational work but less support for my animal protection work. Most Catholics I’ve encountered seem to think of such do-gooding as fundamentally removed from religious imperatives.

Yet Pope Francis begs to differ.

“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork,” Francis wrote in his latest encyclical, “is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience.”

Get out your FrancisChurch notebook.  Full-time paid animal advocacy fits the bill as being ‘essential to a life of virtue!’

On the day Francis released the encyclical, he tweeted, “It is contrary to human dignity to cause animals to suffer or die needlessly. #LaudatoSi.”

Leaving aside the modern method of transmission, this statement is not actually remarkable. It’s a quotation from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

But what does it mean that we should not cause animals to suffer or die needlessly? Surely this admonition demands more of us than that we not personally injure and kill animals. I’m convinced that we are also obligated as Catholics to avoid paying others to kill or harm animals, absent some exceedingly compelling justification.

Is a chicken sandwich exceedingly compelling?  I’m not sure but I definitely feel guilty.  I was hungry but I wasn’t exceedingly compelled I must admit.  I wish I could ask Pope Francis but he probably just eats beans.

Put another way, “purchasing is always a moral — and not simply economic — act.” That line also comes from the encyclical, in a paragraph in which Francis applauds consumer boycotts focused on pushing corporations to engage in more ethical practices.

Thinking about consumer choices in the context of animal rights, consider that by far the most needless suffering comes at the hands of the meat industry, which kills about 9 billion land animals annually. These creatures are treated in ways that would warrant cruelty-to-animals charges were dogs or cats similarly abused.

Do you know why purchasing is always a moral choice in FrancisGospel?  It’s because he’s an anti-capitalist and his hackles rise when anyone is able to do something with money.  Making money a moral choice gives him jurisdiction over every tiny decision people make.  It robs those foolish enough to believe him of their God-given freedom.

Communists think you should get what they give you when they want you to have it and they think they should own everything you’ve got.  Pope Francis Communists (Liberation Theologists) are the same, but they pretend it’s Christian morality and not just pride, envy, and thievery.

Why does FrancisChurch seem to inevitably lead to putting left wing environmentalist pressure on every tangible industry in the world?  Miners can’t mine; Farmers can’t farm.  Ranchers can’t slaughter cattle.  We can’t eat the meat they sell us.  Nobody can have any money or property that someone else doesn’t, regardless of their choices or rights.  And if you have enough to do something really productive, then you’re really in trouble.

You’re money belongs to you, not to Pope Francis and his false preaching on moral choices.  Buying poison or a mafia hit is a bad use of money, not a steak, or a gun, or an acre of land. We used to understand this was foolishness and tyranny.  Why must we now pretend it’s our Faith?
