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.

 

 

 

 

Gushing Praise from Obama in Advance of Francis Visit

Another World Leader Wins Coveted Embrace

At the Washington Post:

Pope Francis will visit Washington, D.C. Sept. 22 to Sept. 25, the Archdiocese of Washington confirmed on Tuesday. President Obama hinted at what he expects to speak with Pope Francis when they meet in September at the White House, including poverty, climate change and conflict in the Middle East.

Conflict in the Middle East? Maybe Pope Francis will ask the President to stop creating it.

Obama said they will likely talk about reducing conflict and reducing war in the Middle East “where Christians have been viciously attacked.” Pope Francis has become a force in foreign policy, regularly speaking out against the persecution of Christians.

Yes, but what has this accomplished?  He runs on a lot about dialogue and pacifism, coddles dictators, UN Tyrants, and terrorists, and blasts free markets too.

The leaders will also likely talk about climate change, Obama said in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal. Pope Francis is poised to weigh in on climate change with an encyclical this summer.

The following section is from the Journal’s interview released today.

Seib: What are you going to tell him? What do you expect he’s going to want to tell you?

Obama: Well, I’ve had the honor of meeting him already once, an extraordinary individual, I think, a transformative leader, not just within the Catholic Church but globally.

Why are liberals always being transformative?  Aren’t they happy with the nasty ways they already are?  And why is everything always global?  Isn’t ruining their own families and neighborhoods and running their own cities into the ground enough?  When will leftist world leaders stop celebrating how Pope Francis is turning Christianity into their vehicle to ride the globe into Hell?  Don’t they see how they give themselves away?

And excluding the pervasive hype, what is so extraordinary about Pope Francis, other than the fact that he can awkwardly blend bits of vague sentiment into something wishful thinkers can pretend is Catholic teaching?  (He does have a unique way with words.)  What is extraordinary though, is that an anti-Christian like Obama, who is never loose with his praise, can gush over the Vicar of Christ today.

That’s rare in the extreme.
