OVERHEARD IN THE COURT OF THE GENTILES

Heresy, Apostasy, Corruption, and Nonsense

“It takes a village to raise a child” — who said that?

You have only two guesses — and both will be correct!

• Hillary Clinton?  (“we have to change our religious values!”)

You are right!

• Francis?

Right again!
 

This is the bankrupt evangel of Socialism when Catholicism leaves a vacuum of meaning in the lives of the least fortunate — the least fortunate are those who have never heard the Evangel of Christ  from a pope, or any member of the College of Cardinals or the world-wide Body of recreant Bishops. They have only heard the tiresome but incessant post-modern ruminations of the disaffected leftist social media — which apparently coincides with ecclesiastical circles in America and Europe.
 

“A global educational pact is needed to educate us in universal solidarity and a new humanism.” —  who said that?
 

Francis, of course — among the other Poster Children of the post-Catholic Vatican II church — which now openly turns its back on Christ, the Gospels, and genuine Catholic Doctrine in favor of a not-so-new-Humanism ... which ideologically humanizes Christ and routinely apotheosizes men.

They have turned their backs on Christ

   will you, too?

This is not a good idea. Christ promised that “He that shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in Heaven.” (Saint Matthew 10.33). There is another place altogether where they may be more than “warmly” welcomed.

Francis:
“I would like to repeat what the Doctrine of the Church says about this: When we acknowledge international organizations and we recognize their capacity to give judgment, on a global scale – for example the international tribunal in The Hague, or the United Nations. If we consider ourselves humanity, when they make statements, our duty is to obey. … we must obey international institutions. That is why the United Nations were created. That’s why international courts were created.”

“I believe that international organizations need to propose a process of accompaniment.” (if  this sounds familiar, see: Laudato Si)

“These international institutions help us a lot, always, and we need to go forward strengthening the international institutions: the United Nations.”

“Ideological colonization [read: Missionaries and Conversion to Christ and Catholicism] seeks to cancel the identity of others to make them equal and they come at you with ideological proposals that are contrary to the nature of that people, the history of that people, against the values of that people [Human sacrifice? Animal sacrifice? Voodooism?]. And we must respect the identity of peoples , this is a premise to defend always.” But we must ask, “Which identities?” Ethnic, religious, or both? Certainly not ethnic. Francis addresses the latter, religion:

“Differences between the religions are not to be cancelled out.” This is to say that we most not, in the words of Francis, “cancel out” striking and irreconcilable differences in religions; we must accept the contradictions and accompany one another into logical absurdity. [this is called Religious Indifferentism: every way is the way to salvation. There is no one true religion. And when religions are contradictory in the way of deities, doctrines, and ritual practices (or “praxes” (pl. of praxis), as the “intellectually enlightened” are fond of saying. If you use this word in public, no one will know what you are talking about. It is a snob word. Never use this inflated word, except in exclusively academic discourse]
 

Proselytizing is not Christian ... no matter what Christ instructed us

Francis continues, “It is important to avoid proselytism. When you see religious proposals that follow the path of proselytism, they are not Christian. They are looking for converts, not worshippers of God in truth. I want to take this opportunity to emphasize your interreligious experience which is extremely beautiful.” In the new Church-of-Accompaniment that has superseded the Catholic Church, Christ’s last words to His Apostles, are merely a disreputable rumor (see Saint Matthew 28.20)

“Peace, brotherhood, interreligious co-existence, no proselytism, these are things that we must learn to foster peace.”

“Walls leave only those who built them. Yes, they leave out many people, but those who remain inside the walls will be left alone, and in the end, they will be defeated by great invasions. Xenophobia is a disease.” [how, we ask, are “invasions” to be understood apart from the concept of a national sovereignty that is invaded? See the next line

“You must educate [not proselytize], in order to bring together different tribes, to create a nation” [but nations are only distinguishable through the sovereign borders that define them, borders which Francis elsewhere equates with “walls” — much like the  60 ft. walls around the Vatican that Francis has yet to raze — or those carefully guarded around St. Marta's where he lives].

“Respect for other religions is important. [even if they chop off heads, stone woman, and promote genital mutilation] This is why I tell missionaries not to proselytize.”

“The prayer intention for this month is specifically for the protection of the oceans.” Yes, you read that correctly; not for the conversion of sinners and most definitely not for the salvation of souls.

“The pastors must lead their flock between grace and sin, because this is evangelical morality. Instead, a morality based on such a pelagian (sic) ideology leads you to rigidity, and today we have many schools of rigidity within the Church, which are not schisms, but pseudo-schismatic Christian developments that will end badly. When you see rigid Christians, bishops, priests, there are problems behind that,”

No, no ... do not prepare for the long-awaited hour — We have more pressing concerns!

FRANCIS:

“Dear brothers and sisters, today, 1 September, is the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, an ecumenical prayer that raises our awareness and commitment to caring for our common home, starting with a more sustainable personal and family lifestyle ... it is a favorable time to praise God for all his creatures and to assume responsibility before the cry of the Earth.” https://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/angelus/2019/documents/papa-francesco_angelus_20190901.html

And earlier:

“The Earth now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her. ...The earth herself, burdened and laid waste, is among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor. The Earth needs both physical and spiritual attention and awareness, our acts and prayers, our hands and hearts. Life is a self-sustaining organic whole of which we are a part.” Our only comment on this exhortation to give the Earth “spiritual attention”, to say nothing of the Earth’s status as an orphan is nothing short of madness.

Apart from the melodramatic and emotionally-saturated nonsense of speaking of “the Earth” as if the planet were a sentient, tormented, and underprivileged waif, mournfully staring at us from a carefully choreographed plea lifted from Save the Children — “maltreated”, “poor” and in desperate need of “spiritual attention” (which Francis rarely accords the Faithful).  Let us see how Francis’s compassion for the Earth (a compassion, by the way, that he insolently withholds from his mere human critics) accords with Holy Scripture:

God’s first mandate to man — the very first, immediately after creating him — was the following:

“And God blessed them [Adam and Eve], saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it,
and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth.” (Genesis 1.28)

But God, of course, did not have the insight Francis has, and failed to see the “maltreatment” and “harm that we would inflict on it her” [the planet], and how we would bring the planet to copious tears ...

And we thought that Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Sufi-superstar-on-steroids and darling of the reduxed-dawned-Age-of-Aquarius was the environmental detritus of that posthumous generation! See https://www.huffpost.com/author/llewellyn-vaughanlee
