Are
we All Children of God of... no matter
what?
Francis made the
following statement in 2017 — and I think it
is now time to revisit it in light of his vitriolic
denunciation of Catholic Traditional in favor
of Ecumenism — a heretical concept altogether
prior to Vatican II — one which Francis
frenetically promotes at the cost of authentic
Catholicism. He asks — as though the question
itself is altogether rhetorical:
“Is it possible God has
some children He does not love? No!
We are all God’s beloved children.”
(pope Francis)
1
What is more troubling still, is that this question is, in fact,
received by most post-Conciliar Catholics as
merely rhetorical, that is to say, as though
the answer is already understood in the asking
— and that answer, of course, is a resounding:
“yes — of course! After all, everyone goes to
Heaven. The pope himself routinely tells us
so!” — despite what Christ teaches us
about the “hard and narrow” way to Heaven:
“Enter
in at the narrow gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way that leads
to destruction, and many there are
who go that way. How narrow is the gate,
and strait is the way that leads to
life: and few there are that find it!
Beware
of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves.” (Mat.7.15-23)
Oh, yes, concerning the “false prophets, who come to you in the
clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves,” may we suggest that you consider five:
1.
John XXIII
2.
Paul VI
3.
John Paul I
4.
John Paul II
5.
and the APEX WOLF: Francis.
That is to say, in short, every pontiff who instigated, promoted,
or was complicit in the heresy we have come
to know as Vatican II which decimated the Church
and Religious Orders, contemned and vitiated
Her teachings, effectively abrogated Her Sacred
Tradition, laid siege to Her Sacred Deposit
of Faith, outlawed her language (Latin), abolished
the Mass of the Ages (Tridentine), defiled the
Sanctuary with women “Ministers” of
Communion (note that they are no longer
designated “Extraordinary-ministers”),
secularized the Liturgy, and homosexualized
Her priests, bishops, and cardinals — so this
includes every pope that you may have
admired since 1958).
Consider the following: Catholic Mass attendance was 75+% in 1955
and plunged to 20-30% in 2017. In 1970,
55 % of American Catholics went to Mass every
Sunday, and in 2019 that figure dwindled to
20%. “The Center for Church Management at
Villanova University projects an attendance
rate in the neighborhood of 12 percent by next
year or the year after.” 2 “Altar
girls” vastly outnumber “Altar-Boys” and both
are “socially/correctly” called “Altar Servers”
— thereby abolishing any distinction in gender
in deference to the rise of “Woman Church” and
the poison of Feminism.
All this — all of it — is the fruit of Vatican II ... every
effeminate and recreant priest, bishop, and
cardinal; the feminization and homosexualization
of nearly every aspect of the Catholic Church
— has left it in ruins, pallid and prostate
before the World which it loves more than God.
There are good and faithful traditional
priests — who are persecuted mercilessly by
their bishops, cardinals ... and even the pope.
Good men. Manly men. Priests of Almighty God!
Men who do not lisp — and who would die before
kissing the Muslim Quran! Not so Francis. Not
so!
Does Vatican II really sound like a success story to you? If no,
then I suggest that you go to the essay “Vatican
II: The Model of the Failed Corporation”
in this book.
We might take the earlier citation from Holy Scripture (Mat.7.15-23)
as a prologue merely to the many disagreements
between Francis and Jesus Christ in this matter
(and many, many others.) Consider the following:
Jesus Christ:
·
“You do the works of your father … Why do you
not know my speech? Because you cannot hear
my word … You are of your father the devil,
and the desires of your father you will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and he
stood not in the truth; because truth is not
in him … he is a liar, and the father thereof.”
(John8.41-44)
·
“He that commits sin is of the devil: for the
devil sinned from the beginning. ... In this
the children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil: Whosoever is not just, is not
of God, nor he that loves not his brother.”
(1 John3.8-10)
·
“Not everyone that say to me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the Kingdom of Heaven: but he that
doth the will of My Father who is in Heaven,
he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Many
will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, … have
we not done many miracles in Thy name? And then
will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from Me, you that work iniquity.” (Mat.7.21-23)
Citations from Holy Scripture in which Francis openly contradicts
Christ are too many to enumerate. 3
Whom do we Believe?
The point is simply this: whom shall we believe?
The Master or the servant? Truth Himself — Who
stood before Pontius Pilate on the day He was
crucified
4
while Pilate pedantically asked, “What is Truth?”
... even as Truth bled in his presence
5
— or His feckless vicar who either distorts
or contradicts the truth entrusted to him? In
other words, are we to believe Truth Himself
or His recreant proxy who speaks
in open contradiction to the Truth?
In 1521 Luther wrote to Philip Melanchthon (Luther’s
closest collaborator in heresy) “Love God and
sin boldly ... No sin can separate us from Him,
even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands
of times each day.”
6
The correspondence between Francis’s, “Is it possible that
God has some children He does not love? NO!
We are ALL God’s beloved children.” — and
Luther’s, “Love God and sin boldly ... No
sin can separate us from Him.” — is unmistakable.
This is the most manifest and deadly fruit of
the heresy called Ecumenism.
Let us be less textually literal in order to be absolutely clear
on the substance of these mutually corroborating
statements:
Luther: “everyone goes to Heaven no matter what. There is no sin
so grievous to preclude anyone from attaining
salvation.”
Francis:
“We are all the beloved children
of God — we are his beloved children! But is
it possible that God has some children whom
he does not love? No. We are all God’s beloved
children.”
Therefore, despite all that Christ taught us, no matter what we
do, say, promote, believe, or not believe, is
irrelevant. No sin is so heinous, no act so
horrendous, no belief so criminal, no unbelief
so absolute, that it can disqualify us from
going to Heaven with all the other ... “Saints”
... like Hitler, Joseph Mengele, Stalin, Hideki
Tojo, Nero, Mao Zedong, Genghis Khan, Caligula,
and Diocletian, to name a few. For Francis,
these men — despite the magnitude of their malevolence
and the enormity of their atrocities ... are
nevertheless “God’s beloved children.”
Who can so much as conceptualize God uttering something like,
“These are my beloved children: Adolf Hitler
and his brothers Diocletian, Mao Zedong, Joseph
Mengele, Stalin, Hideki Tojo, Nero, Genghis
Khan, and Caligula.”?
Who, indeed, is their father? Are they the “beloved
children of God” whom Francis Francis would
have us believe — or are they those of whom
Christ spoke: “You are of your father the
devil.” They cannot be both.
Either Christ is a deceiver — or Francis is.
However, being God with the Father and the Holy Ghost, Christ
can neither
deceive nor be deceived.6
Francis can, will, and does.
“Such a harsh, even cruel statement!” you will reproach me.
Less harsh, I will respond, and far less frightening than the
words of Christ at the Last Judgment:
-
“And when the Son of Man shall come … He
shall separate them one from another, as
the shepherd separate the sheep from the
goats:
-
“He
shall set the sheep on His right hand, but
the goats on His left. Then … He shall say
to them also that shall be on His left hand:
depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting
fire which was prepared for the devil and
his angels.” 7
The god of Francis, it turns out, is not the God of Sacred
Scripture. He fabricates his god to assuage
the guilt and fear of men — the better to accord
with the World, the Flesh, and primeval things
of darkness that have no place in the Light
...
Let us be Clear:
We have stated it
before
and we wish to state it again: we hold that
Francis is the legitimate pope.
We equally hold that he has been demonstrably heretical in both
his teachings, and, what Francis is fond
of calling “his personal magisterium”;
and possibly an apostate.
We do not argue that the Seat of St. Peter is empty — which is
to say that we are not Sedevacantists
(from the Latin “sede vacante,” “the
chair being vacant”) indeed, we maintain that
the Chair is, in fact, occupied.
That it is presently occupied by a heretic, pantheist, and madman,
in no way invalidates the statement that the
papacy is indeed occupied.
Some popes have been Saints. Some have been scoundrels. Francis,
regrettably, is certainly and most notoriously
among the latter — and we will not, cannot,
accept his repudiation of Jesus Christ Himself
in Sacred Scripture together with the perennial
teachings of the Holy Catholic Church before
the many heretical credenda foisted on the Church
by the calamity we have come to understand
as Vatican II; that is to say, Francis’s
chimerical understanding of himself — as the
paradigm of Conciliar progressivism —
and, lately, pantheism — and also as the law-giver
preeminent, the law-maker who tolerates no
dissent — indeed, who punishes it ruthlessly
— does not coincide with the 2000-year-old
understanding of the Petrine Office in the Economy
of Salvation. Francis is a vicar only. Not the
Master.
Does a mere Vicar dare correct his Lord or amend His mandates?
Of course not!
Therefore does Christ say:
“Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his
Lord; neither is the Apostle greater than He
that sent him.” (John14.16)
Must we therefore follow his teachings? We will let Pope Innocent
III,
arguably the most effective pope ever,
answer this:
“It is necessary to obey a pope in all things as long as he does
not go against the universal customs of the
Church, but should he go against the universal
customs of the Church he need not be followed.”
(newadvent.org/cathen/08013a.htm)
Francis, however, has done something more sinister still — something
that no other pope preceding him, however corrupt,
had done: He made the Catholic Church
unrecognizable.
