    • Globalist sustainability goals, many of which are contrary to the Faith
    • Personnel is Policy – the Pope’s appointments tell you where he really stands. g. Abp. Paglia who gutted the JP2 Institute; Cardinals Cupich, Tobin in Vatican Dicastery that chooses future bishops.  Bp. McElroy of San Diego appointed Cardinal; Abp. Fernandez as new head of the Dicastery or Office of the Doctrine of Faith, who has been the Pope’s primary theologian and ghost writer; he wrote a shocking, pornographic book “Healing with Your Mouth: the Art of the Kiss”. He believes everyone is saved no matter what.  Pope Francis wrote a letter to him “I don’t want you to be correcting heresy…”

  37. The Wheels Are Coming Off | The Wanderer Newspaper (thewandererpress.com) – 8/17/23
    • The purpose of the Church is to save souls by moving them from Earth to Heaven. That objective is accomplished by teaching the Deposit of Faith and giving the sacraments so that souls are saved by grace. That God-given and divinely mandated purpose of the Church is violated by the documents of this pontificate, by the scandalous words and actions of men appointed to prominent positions by Pope Francis, and without correction by him, and by the Synod agenda.
    • Pope Francis has made abundantly obvious even to those who do not specialize in prophecy that he intends to change the truth itself. He is very determined. An impossible task and yet just one more fantasy. But it is not an idle threat. Why? The phenomenon of papolatry, a perversion of the doctrine of papal infallibility, has been growing apace for many years now and has laid the groundwork for many to believe that whatever a Pope says is true, even if it contradicts matters of faith and morals that preceded him.

    • The Pope and the President – The Catholic Thing (11/3/21, Robert Royal) – I’ve been critical– on this page and via the Papal Posse at EWTN, among other venues – of many things Pope Francis has said and done. With a proper respect, I believe. But more than everything else – more than the indirect infidelities in Amoris Laetitia; the cringe-making chumminess with McCarrick, Zanchetta, Battista Ricca, and many other abusers; the harsh measures against the TLM; even the outrage of Pachamama – he’s done nothing more outrageous than telling Joe Biden – if the story’s true – that he’s a “good Catholic” and should “continue receiving Communion.”

  13. Blessing Same-Sex Couples: a CA Roundtable | Catholic Answers Magazine – 12/21/23 – Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF)
    • Trent Horn – Given the practical difficulty involved in the wide variety of ministers giving and individuals seeking these “spontaneous blessings,” I would not have released the document—or at I least I would have included the reminder from the 2021 DDF ruling, still in force, that God “does not and cannot bless sin.”
    • Karlo Broussard – the DDF is safe doctrinally but has failed (gravely?) in exercising pastoral prudence. The damage has been done. Confusion is setting in. Let’s implore God that he will bring order out of disorder and peace out of chaos.
    • Cy Kellett – At every talk I give, I meet people who are at their wits‘ end with Francis and people who are at their wits‘ end with those who oppose Francis. Everybody seems on edge. This isn’t helping… Fiducia Supplicans, in my view, is basically correct in its approach to blessings—if what it’s saying is that Pope Francis wants people to receive the blessings of the Church without priests actually blessing sinful unions.
    • Todd Aglialoro – Fiducia Supplicans suggests that it is not their false claim to legitimate conjugal union or the sinful sexual acts that accompany it, but rather “all that is true, good, and humanly valid in their lives and their relationships”. This strikes me as, at best, an unrealistic view.  I fear that the result of this document will be to present confusion and scandal to the world… to dishearten and impede the efforts of faithful clerical and lay ministers currently resisting the tide of sexual libertinism…
    • Joe Heschmeyer – So what has the DDF now added to the conversation? The idea that in certain contexts, a priest might give an informal blessing to a “same-sex couple.” It’s not true, therefore (as some have said), that the DDF is okaying the blessing of same-sex “unions.” But it’s also not true (as others have claimed) that this is nothing new, since it’s just about blessing same-sex-attracted individuals. It’s not about individuals or unions, but a third thing, seemingly in between the two: a “couple.”
    • Tom Nash – nowhere does FS acknowledge and affirm chaste living, as do faithful apostolates that minister to persons with same-sex attraction. Consequently, whatever good intention he may have, a cleric who attempts to bless the relationship of a same-sex couple will do them a grave disservice.
    • Christopher Check – within hours of the Dicastery’s publication of Fiducia Supplicans, media all over the globe reported that the Catholic Church had reversed its teaching of 2021 that homosexual couples and “irregular” heterosexual couples cannot be blessed. The Catechism tells us that “scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. why would Rome cause scandal? Did the DDF not know what consequences FS would produce? One telltale sign: the word repent is noticeably absent from the document.

These ‘pastoral’ blessings do not require repentance and the desire to change like all other church blessings. These same-sex couples are in a state of sin. Conditions: no vestments, no formal prayers, not in civil union ceremony, must be spontaneous, not part of sacred liturgy. God & the Church cannot bless states of sin.

  26. Golden Opportunities Missed – The Catholic Thing – 1/5/24 – David Carlin
    1. The first thing we have to note is that most Americans who have heard of FS – whether Catholics or Protestants or non-Christians, and whether they be pro-SR or anti-SR – perceive FS as a significant victory for the LGBTQ+ movement, a movement which, as I see it, has as one of its aims to undermine and destroy the Christian ideal of sexual morality, hence Christianity itself.
    2. Most people see FS as the Catholic Church giving ground to the LGBTQ+ gang.  They see FS as a sign that Catholicism, like liberal Protestantism, will eventually remove homosexual practice from its list of serious sins.  Defenders of FS can tell people, all they want, that they are mistaken to see things that way; all the same, that’s how they see it.
    3. Second, the American Catholic bishops are once again offered a golden opportunity to put themselves at the head of the SR counter-revolution.  But to do this, they will have to do something that is almost a psychological impossibility for a Catholic bishop: they will have to make a public declaration of their disagreement with the pope.

Pope Francis Pushes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

Pope Francis Pushes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates (20+ articles)

  1. Pushes Covid-19 vaccine mandates, contrary to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, despite the use of aborted fetal cells in their production and/or testing.
  2. No act of charity: A personal reflection on the Vatican’s promotion of COVID-19 vaccination – lifesitenews.com – 4/4/23
    • Pope Francis: “Being vaccinated with vaccines authorized by the competent authorities is an act of love. Contributing to ensure the-majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one’s family and friends, love for all people”. (Pope Francis – Vaccines are an act of love to save us – Vatican News August 2022)
    • Churches closed. Priests masked. The faithful were locked down, confined to “participating” in religious services via live streams. Those who were dying in hospital – from what in many cases now looks increasingly like wrong medical treatment – were denied the sacraments.
    • That the leadership of the Catholic Church had blindly taken such a public position backing experimental mRNA gene therapies “as safe” and encouraging the faithful under the banner of “vaccinate for love of thy neighbor” was a source of grave concern. For the Successor of Peter, who is not a competent immunologist, to promote these pharmaceutical interventions for which no long-term safety test data existed seemed nothing short of misguidedness. The Vatican had even signed a contract with Pfizer to provide mRNA Covid-19 injections for members of the curia, religious, staff and their families. Coming off three bruising decades from the tragic saga of clerical sex abuse, I could already see the writing of another sad chapter on the wall.

    • The presence of graphene in the doses that have been administered, reported by numerous laboratories that have analyzed its content,[23]suggests that the forced use of so-called vaccines – together with the systematic boycott of existing treatments of proven effectiveness[24] – serves the purpose of contact-tracing all vaccinated human beings throughout the world, who will be or already are connected to the Internet of Things[25] [26]. As proof that this information is not the fruit of the fantasies of some conspiracy theorist, you should know that the European Union has chosen two projects dedicated to technological innovation as the winners of a competition: “The Human Brain” and “Graphene.” These two projects will receive one billion euro each in funding over the next ten years.[27]

Although many of the details of the agreement have been kept under lock and key, Francis ceded control over appointing bishops in China to the CCP and the state-recognized Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, while Beijing reportedly accepted Francis as the head of the Catholic Church.

Pope Francis Liberal Appointments

Pope Francis’ appointments are consistently liberal, pro-abortion, and pro-LBGT.

(30+ articles)

  1. John Horvat, vice president of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, told LifeSiteNews that, “it is apocalyptically scandalous and a great shame that the highest authority on earth, the Vicar of Christ, publicly endorses homosexual civil unions. It is indicative of our sinful times and why Our Lady warned us of a great chastisement in Fatima.”

  5. Pope Francis announces new cardinals, including bishop who backed Communion for pro-abortion politicians – lifesitenews.com– 5/30/22
    • The Pope skipped over higher ranking prelates in the U.S. in appointing Bishop Robert McElroy to the College of Cardinals, despite the bishop’s record of support for giving Communion to both pro-abortion Catholic politicians as well as the divorced and ‘remarried.’
  6. Bishop Robert McElroy: What to know about the soon to be American cardinal | Catholic News Agency – 5/29/22
    • McElroy has strongly asserted his views that the Eucharist ought not be denied to politicians who support the legalization of abortion. In addition, he has often criticized what he sees as the elevation of abortion as a priority over other social concerns, such as the death penalty and care for migrants and the environment.
  7. California bishop blasts Cardinal-elect McElroy for thinking abortion ‘not wrong enough’ to discuss – lifesitenews.com– 6/15/22
  8. What the McElroy Appointment Says About the Church’s Commitment to Sex Abuse Victims (crisismagazine.com) – 6/13/22 – It wasn’t long into my study of the sex abuse crisis in the Church that I realized that many or even most bishops customarily respond to a report about abuse (1) by feeling sorry for themselves that they have another mess on their hands; (2) by feeling sorry for the priest whose priesthood may be ruined; and (3) by trying to figure out how to get the victim to remain silent and go away. There is rarely, if ever, any true concern shown for the victim; sometimes counseling is offered but more often as a way to appease than to help the victim.
  9. McElroy doubles down on heresy, pushes Communion for ‘sexually active’ homosexuals, adulterers – lifesitenews.com – 3/3/23
  10. Pope Francis appoints pro-LGBT bishop to replace faithful Phoenix prelate – lifesitenews.com – 6/10/22 – another example of how Pope Francis promptly accepts the resignation of a 75-year-old orthodox bishop and replaces him with “one of “America’s top 10 homosexuality-promoting Catholic bishops”. Dolan’s replacement of Olmsted as bishop of the Diocese of Phoenix is one of many appointments made by Francis in recent weeks that have been criticizedas being intentionally anti-Catholic.
