Get Out Your Notepad. FrancisChurch is a Font of New Truths

No sinners here in this car!

The point of being Pope of FrancisChurch is to ‘make doctrine’ not defend it.  Isn’t that right?  Look at all the new things we keep learning to believe.  We have to go ‘ever forward’ and never return to the Ancient Mass.  We have to renounce ‘small minded rules and conditions that used to be Catholic but really were just spawn of Pharisees.  We have to make ‘the poor’ the center of the Gospel which actually makes no sense without the poor.  We should even kneel before the poor in Church!  (I’m sure they’ll find that uplifting.)

We must hate disunity, renounce war, believe Palestine is a country and in a brand new Cuba.  We have to think ISIS murderers decide who is a true Christian and believe arms makers are un-Christian hypocrites. My remarried father-in-law told my wife the other day that Pope Francis said we can all get divorced now if we want.  Why would he think that?  Most of all, among this font of new truths, it is important that we always remember to hate ‘inequality’ wherever it exists.

Today Pope Francis has gone even further and made an entirely new social justice.  From now, on Pope Francis says, we have no right to anything if it makes someone else’s pile unequal.  From this moment, if you’re not poor you’re a thief in FrancisChurch.  Good thing he rides in that Fiat.  But what about the driver?

Pope Francis on Tuesday (July 7) said protecting the planet was no longer a choice but a duty and called for a new “social justice” where access to the earth’s resources would be based on equality instead of economic interests.

I always cringe when I hear liberals use the word ‘access.’  They are so concerned about everyone’s access all the time.  I can’t access health care because they want me to pay the doctor!  I must access the earth’s resources so I can eat my cereal. Wait a minute.  How is it you have access to Kashi when I have to access these Raisin Bits?!

For people who love ‘access’ they sure like locking down classrooms and locking truth out of Vatican meetings.

In back-to-back speeches on the third day of his trip to Ecuador, the pope made his first full-court press on environmental issues since the publication last month of his landmark ecology encyclical “Laudato Si.”.

Speaking before a group that included indigenous people of the Equatorial Amazon, he also renewed his call for special protection for the area because of its vital importance to the planet’s ecosystem.

The pope has said he wanted the encyclical to influence a United Nations climate change summit in Paris in December and has now effectively taken his campaign to convince governments on the road. In September he takes his message to the United States and the United Nations.

“One thing is certain: we can no longer turn our backs on reality, on our brothers and sisters, on Mother Earth,” he said in a first speech at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador.

While he did not specifically mention climate change or its causes, he quoted often from the encyclical, which said there was a “very solid scientific consensus” on global warming and its human causes.

He appeared to be making a clear reference to climate change doubters when he said: “It is wrong to turn aside from what is happening all around us, as if certain situations did not exist or have nothing to do with our lives.”

Uh oh.  Sinner again in FrancisChurch!  It’s gotta be me.  How could it be Pope Francis?  He’s studied chemistry for Pete’s sake.

 

Francis, the Synod, And the UN Poised To Turn The Planet Into One Big Faithless Favela

The best is yet to come.

The best is yet to come.

I remember a pastor who admitted during one of his Sunday rants that he became a priest because his dad would drink on weekends.  Father’s sermons were angry.  He had a style that alternately yelled then was gentle, sort of beating up the mostly older crowd into a dizzy sense of relief.  For some reason this seemed to work.  People loved it.  I just felt manipulated and foolish for being present.

I couldn’t understand why father would be prompted to make the sacrifices of priesthood just because his own father was weak.  It didn’t make sense until I considered how he viewed the Church.  This priest saw the Church today as something very different from the Church before Vatican II.  In fact he had contempt for the old Church and worked very hard every day to root out its persistent remnants.  He felt the same way toward the old Church that he did toward his father: angry.

Pope Francis is similar.   Driven by some resentment, he wants his papacy to make things fundamentally different, to change realities that have always been and will always be.  It’s a radically destructive kind of mania.

Pope Francis has asked people to pray for October’s Synod of Bishops on the family during Mass in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

He also tied the synod to the Jubilee of Mercy, a year-long celebration that will begin in December.

The synod will be a time for the Church to “deepen her spiritual discernment and consider concrete solutions to the many difficult and significant challenges facing families in our time,” the Pope said.

Celebrating Mass with as many as one million people gathered under the hot sun in Los Samanes Park, Pope Francis asked them “to pray fervently for this intention, so that Christ can take even what might seem to us impure, scandalous or threatening, and turn it — by making it part of his ‘hour’ — into a miracle. Families today need this miracle!”

How can the Catholic Church ‘deepen it’s discernment?’  Are the things it teaches not true?  Why do liberals always call it ‘deep’ when they reject something good?

And no Christian is moved by false scandals or threats.  Who is Francis impugning?

The Pope is continuing to make it clear that he wants the ‘serene theology on its knees’ of Cardinal Kasper to be pushed-through.  He exhibits all the fierce motivation of a cult leader on the verge of some conquest.  It’s not hard to see.

Nevertheless, and despite this great new era of New York Times FrancisMercy, the only things that are truly impure are humans, and those need a change of heart to be ‘purified’ by Christ, yes?  To ascribe one’s own oh-so-humble and ‘merciful’ intentions to Our Lord would of course be sacrilegious heresy, but Pope Francis wants us to think it’s a divine movement, the kind to which Our Lady was so responsive.  Do you think she appreciates that comparison?

The joy of the wedding feast at Cana, he said, began when Mary was attentive to the needs of others “and acted sensibly and courageously.”

“Mary is not a ‘demanding’ mother, a mother-in-law who revels in our lack of experience, our mistakes and the things we forget to do,” he said. “Mary is a mother! She is there, attentive and concerned.”

As with the guests at the Cana wedding, who were offered the finest wine at the end of the celebration, Pope Francis insisted, so, too, for families today “the richest, deepest and most beautiful things are yet to come.”

“The time is coming when we will taste love daily, when our children will come to appreciate the home we share and our elderly will be present each day in the joys of life,” he said. “The finest of wines will come for every person who stakes everything on love.”

Taste love daily?  That’s gross!  No wonder Francis picks people like this to do his ghostwriting.

Pope Francis said he knows “all the variables and statistics which say otherwise,” but “the best wine is yet to come for those who today feel hopelessly lost.”

Just like the Wedding at Cana, Our Lord’s Church has saved the best wine for last?  The breathtaking arrogance of FrancisChurch!  For a hundred generations we’ve been building to this moment.  What fools we’ve been all these millennia!  No wonder we need completely different kinds of new hippie saints.  Back to the Gospel!

In the new Final Covenant, socialist planning will save the family so they are all together once more and, though owning few of those evil modern conveniences, no longer poor.  All will be united in one big, odd, man-made FrancisFamily; the old, the young, the gay, the remarried, the third wives, the the sort-of cousins, the half-half sisters, their mothers’ boyfriends and their polygamous uncles, all running up together to Holy Communion in one new big utopian pile of mercy.

 

 

 

 

Hyped, Hysterical FrancisWorship Emanates From the Hierarchy

Fast and Pray Oh Christian That You Are Docile to the FrancisTeaching

EWTN/CNA reports:

In preparation for Pope Francis’ visit to Cuba this fall, the bishops of the island nation are asking the faithful to perform acts of mercy during the first Fridays of July, August and September.

“Pope Francis never stops talking about mercy,” the bishops said in a June 29 message. “The first Sunday after his election, he mentioned it 13 times. And he just recently called for the celebration of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy which will begin December 8 this year and conclude November 20, 2016.”

That’s true.  Mercy, mercy, mercy and not a word about repentance.  It’s like the opposite of what a prophet of God might say.

Mercy “is nothing less than ‘reaching out with our heart’ to others,” the bishops continued. “Sometimes it seems we live in a heartless world. Everywhere we come across moral, spiritual, social, intellectual, physical and material poverty…and we also find people who have hardened their hearts in the face of human suffering.”

People who ‘harden their hearts in the face of human suffering’ don’t do any work.  It’s called lazy.  Most of the time poverty goes with it, but in many cases, like the Holy Family itself, poverty can come from sacrifice and self-giving.  That kind of poverty is nothing to denigrate.

Is FrancisChurch trying to tell us that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were foolish, or that they were unfortunate victims of someone else’s hard heart?  And why is everything poverty…’moral, spiritual, social, intellectual, physical and material?’  (Nothing is actually ‘social,’ is it?)

I think the only poverty Pope Francis can speak to is spiritual.

In light of this situation, and to prepare for the Pope’s Sept. 19-22 visit, the Cuban bishops asked people to perform works of mercy for those in need on the first Fridays of the next three months. They also requested “special times of prayer and fasting,” as well as community prayer vigils Sept. 17-18.

The goal of these initiatives is “to ask for God’s help so that he would dispose the hearts of all Cubans so they would listen to and receive the message of hope and mercy that Pope Francis will bring to us,” they stated.

This is just more creepy Francis-worship.  Look at the hysterics of FrancisVisit Abp. Chaput, or Cardinal Dolan’s rejoicing!

The Left is so bent on making us think Catholicism is now Francis-ism, we must now all pray, fast, and do works of FrancisMercy so that the inane, un-Catholic, and dangerous things he says will sink ever more deeply into our once Christian brains.
