Part 2 – Evangelii Gaudium (Joy of the Gospel)

Released in 2013

Evangelii Gaudium is an apostolic exhortation by Pope Francis on “the church’s primary mission of evangelization in the modern world.” (Wikipedia,. Originally published: 24 November 2013)

Evangelii Gaudium,( ‘Joy of the Gospel’ ) was addressed to “the bishops, the clergy, consecrated persons and the lay faithful” on the proclamation of the Gospel in the world today.

It touches on many of the central issues of his pontificate, from the obligations Christians have to the poor to a call for an “ecclesiastical renewal which cannot be deferred.” (https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2018/04/06/a-new-apostolic-exhortation-is-coming-what-is-that-anyway/)

From the Book of Truth:

“The importance of following My path to My Father will not be mentioned, nor will the importance of the Holy Sacraments be discussed. Instead, you will be told of the importance of looking after the needs and welfare of others, which will be used as a substitute for adoring Me. I Am the Church. My Body is My Church, but in time, I will be brushed completely to one side. Your heads will be filled with untruths” .( 18 April 2014)

“When did you, who call yourselves servants of God, decide to replace the True Word of God with your own flawed interpretation of it? When did you decide to replace Christianity with humanism, where no mention is made of Me? Don’t you know that nothing comes from that which does not come from God? How little you have learned and how foolish you are if you believe that your so-called good works – in concentrating on material welfare – can ever replace the Truth.”  (10 Dec 2013

A syllabus of errors

[a] Paragraph 161: concerning love of neighbour as the greatest commandment
“… the first and the greatest of the commandments…
this is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you”
This is incorrect! This directly contradicts the Bible, the words of Jesus Himself:

See Matthew 22: 36-40:

“Teacher which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

So what happened to loving God with all your heart, souls and mind?
Why only the reference to “love one another” ?
Having the latter and omitting the former is exactly what the one world religion will provide:
• A false religion created by man, for man, all about man:
• humanism, social justice, tolerance, false mercy, false ecumenism,
• all inclusive, harmony, no sin, no divine justice, everyone goes to heaven,
• priority of happiness in this world, all religions to be good,
• worship of creation not the creator,
• salvation is brought about by good works, salvation through natural religion.

From the Book of Truth:

“They will use the message of humanism, love of one another, in terms of your ability to look after the poor, uneducated and needy, as a substitute for the Truth you were given in the Gospels.” (9 Nov 2013)

[b] Paragraph 247: concerning the status of the first covenant
“We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked”
  This is a grave error!

Matthew 21: 43   – Jesus’ own words:
“Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom.”

  •  Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (#’s 29-30), June 29, 1943:

“and first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the new testament took the place of the old law which had been abolished… On the gibbet of his death Jesus made void the law with its decrees [Eph. 2:15]…
establishing the new testament in his blood shed for the whole human race. “

  • ‘To such an extent, then,’ says St. Leo the Great, speaking of the Cross of Our Lord,

“The renting in two, of the veil covering the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Jerusalem
at the point of the death of Christ indicated the end of the old covenant.”

See also many references in St Paul’s letters, St Peter’s vision in Acts 10.

Also, from http://dominiestemp.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/no-247-of-pope-francis-evangelii.html
“This doctrine has been also repeatedly taught by the Popes through the ages, to wit,
that the Old Covenant, i.e., The Covenant of Moses, has been revoked and replaced by the New Covenant.

No 247 directly explicitly and uneqivocally denies this defined article of Catholic Faith, and therefore is undoubtedly a serious error.

[c] Paragraphs 252-253: concerning Islam and violence:
“Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
 

Reality does not confirm this statement. See more on this at:
 http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/12/open-letter-to-his-holiness-pope-francis/#more-31973
Also note that:
 Islam denies that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.The Koran says he is just a prophet.
Islam has no concept or relationship of God as the father of mankind, nor a concept or recognition of the Trinity, nor a concept of the Holy Spirit.

6) Fr Gobbi’s locution #407 from Our Lady, June 1989
“…In this period of history [the 7th century], the antichrist is manifested through
the phenomenon of Islam, which directly denies the mystery of the divine Trinity
and the Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. …”

Also note some saints’ comments on Islam:
• St. Peter Mavimenus (d. 8th century), martyr from Gaza.

  • St. John Damascene (d. 749), Syrian Arab Catholic monk and scholar.
  • Sts. Habenitus, Jeremiah, Peter, Sabinian, Walabonsus, and Wistremundus (d. 851), Martyrs of Cordoba, Spain.
    • Sts. Aurelius, Felix, George, Liliosa, and Natalia (d. 852), martyrs of Cordoba, Spain.
    • St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274), Theologian and Doctor of the Church.
  • St. Alfonsus Liguori (d. 1787). Quoted from his book, The History of Heresies and their Refutation:
    “The Mahometan paradise, however, is only fit for beasts; for filthy sensual pleasure is all the believer has to expect there.”

PF’s encyclicals and exhortations – Part 1 Lumen Fideii

AM+DG

PF’s encyclicals and exhortations :

  1. Lumen Fideii, 29th June 2013 first encyclical
  2. Evangelii Gaudium 24 Nov. 2013
  3. Laudato Si, 24th May, 2015

  5. Magnum Principium Sept. 2017

Part 1

Lumen Fideii (The Light of Faith)

released July 2013

  • An overview of Pope Francis’s first encyclical

by Francis X Rocca  posted Friday, 5 Jul 2013 at: http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2013/07/05/lumen-fidei-an-overview-of-pope-franciss-first-encyclical/

“This Encyclical bears the clear influence of Benedict XVI..

“Pope Benedict “had almost completed a first draft of an encyclical on faith” before his retirement in February 2013, Pope Francis writes, adding that “I have taken up his fine work and added a few contributions of my own.””

…

““Christ is not simply the one in whom we believe, the supreme manifestation of God’s love,” Pope Francis writes. “He is also the one with whom we are united precisely in order to believe. Faith does not merely gaze at Jesus, but sees things as Jesus himself sees them, with his own eyes: it is a participation in his way of seeing.”

(https://www.nationalreview.com/2013/07/faith-lights-life-george-weigel/)

“By underscoring at the very beginning of Lumen Fidei that his reflections on faith, drawn largely from the draft left him by Benedict XVI, were “in continuity with all that the Church’s magisterium has pronounced on this theological virtue,” Pope Francis has quietly but unmistakably announced that, modest alterations in the “accidents” of papal clothing and residence notwithstanding, the “substance” of the Petrine Office in the Church remains unchanged. For, as he writes, “the Successor of Peter, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, is always called to strengthen his brothers and sisters in the priceless treasure of the faith which God has given us as a light for humanity’s path.” That strengthening comes for a constant proclamation of the truth of Christian faith, which is a constant invitation to friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ and incorporation, through that friendship, into his Church — a communion of disciples in mission.

A pontificate of evangelical reform is underway. Its path will be illuminated, not by Catholic Lite, but by the full symphony of truth that the light of faith reveals.”

  • Comment:

Well it seems that this (first encyclical) seems to not have errors, but in hindsight can we say that what Pope Francis proclaims is true?

Can we really say that his  “reflections on faith”, have REALLY been  “in continuity with all that the Church’s magisterium has pronounced on this theological virtue”?

Has he REALLY always proclaimed the truth of the Christian faith???

With the advantage of hindsight, we see that a pontificate of evangelical reform is indeed well on its way despite all the opposition from some very brave eminent cardinals bishops and priests. This is a reform –  not to bring us back to the Truths laid down by Christ – but are to suit man and his weaknesses. God’s commandments and Christ’s teachings are being relegated to the bin.

From the Book of Truth:

“In the name of social justice and social compassion, the false prophet will set out, what the world will believe to be, to evangelise and create a modern church. This church will be seen to reach out to all sinners and to embrace those sinners whose sins are not acceptable by Me”. – August 10th, 2013

Holy Week events at the Vatican 2018

AM+DG

 1. Plaster fell down near Michelangelo’s statue of the Pieta in the Vatican.

The Jersey Evening Post reported: Chunks of plaster fall from St Peter’s Basilica

World News | Published: Mar 29, 2018

“Falling plaster rained down near Michelangelo’s famed Pieta statue to the right of the main entrance. …Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said repairmen are working to secure the site and the basilica remained open.”

https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/world-news/2018/03/29/chunks-of-plaster-fall-from-st-peters-basilica/  

This happened just hours after Pope Francis’ denial of hell (See article below)

Is this to bring to our attention Our Blessed Mother, holding the Body of her Son? (The Pieta, right near the falling chunks of plaster)

The Church is also the Mystical Body of Christ.

Is the ceiling plaster falling in chunks, a symbol of the structure of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church beginning to crumble? Maybe this is the sign.
After all, the Church will crumble as Bergoglio dismantles it and as he destroys its teachings and traditions – bit by bit. The ceiling plaster falling, is like the rumble before the schism. Not all is well in the Church!

2.“Pope Bergoglio Spouts the Annihilationist Heresy—Again

(This is the heresy that no-one goes to hell. Bergoglio was quoted as saying, once before, that the souls of the damned just ceased to exist. Read the article below by clicking on the link.)

Thursday, March 29, 2018;   Written by  Christopher A. Ferrara

See:

  https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/fetzen-fliegen/item/3820-pope-bergoglio-spouts-the-annihilationist-heresy-again

DonnaLiane’s comment: (on the article above)

 “ Basically, the Vatican denies it but not really! Just denies that they were his exact words and denies it was an ‘interview’.

3. Pope Francis did not kiss Jesus’ feet, but his face.

“Just checked the 1962 missal, it says “… devoutly kiss the feet of the Crucified” (Tt Crusader)

“Reverence and humility is kissing His feet; like Mary Magdalene. It’s an inbuilt instinct.” (DonnaLiane)

See https://twitter.com/EdwardPentin/status/979843084895838209

Watch this video (above) closely (especially at the beginning) of Bergoglio kissing the Crucifix at the Good Friday ceremonies, 2018. (yesterday)

Jesus message on March 29, 2013,(just after Bergoglio was elected) Good Friday:

“My dearly beloved daughter when Judas Iscariot betrayed Me, he held My Head and kissed me on the cheek. When those who lead My Church say they love Me, and then betray Me, you will see, clearly, their kiss of betrayal.

Not at My Feet will they fall.  It will not be My Feet they kiss, but those of My servants, My followers, My sinners….” (see link to the complete message below)

  1. Pope Francis washed the feet of 12 prisoners

at the historic Regina Coeli prison in Rome this last Holy Thursday.

As we know, the washing of the feet is to remind us of the first Holy Thursday, where Jesus washed the feet of his 12 apostles – i.e. the first bishops of the Christ’s Church.

Why then, would Pope Francis include two Moslems and a Buddhist?

Is this a sign of the new One World Church to come? (That is, this new church, not of Jesus Christ, but represented by religious leaders of a variety of faiths: Buddhists, Moslems, Hindus, Catholics, other Christians, atheists…all will be welcome.) Just as Jesus washed the feet of his Apostles – bishops of His Church –    Bergoglio washes the feet of people representing all religions – the new One World Church.

The Missal instructs the priest to wash the foot and dry it with a cloth. Bergoglio not only washes the feet, but kisses them. (See the prophecy from the Book of Truth below)

Remember the very first “popevideo” of Pope Francis (entitled “The Pope Video – Inter-religious Dialogue – January 2016”) which shows  a Buddhist, a Jew, a Moslem and a Catholic priest?

On the first Holy Thursday in 2013, just after Bergoglio was elected, his first “washing of the feet”, Jesus’ message to us was:

“Not at My Feet will they fall.  It will not be My Feet they kiss, but those of My servants, My followers, My sinners.    …

Humanism is not Christianity. To be Christian means surrendering all to Me, abandoning yourself in full humility at My Feet. It means allowing Me to guide you. It means obedience to My Laws and doing all that you can to show the example of My Love for you all. Today I was betrayed….”  (Book of Truth: March 29, 2013 @ 7:00pm; Message # 3 on Good Friday)

The Church and the Pope – Part 4: Other Responses and Advice

AM+DG

Correcting the Pope: Other Responses

  • Bishop Athanasius Schneider was reported by LifeSiteNews on Feb, 23, 2017 as saying that bishops who order their priests to give Holy Communion to divorced and remarried Catholics are “committing a grave abuse of his power.”

“He’s ordering (the priest) to sin and when a bishop even or a Pope commands me to sin I have to refuse,”

Bishop Schneider explained in a recent interview with Rorate Caeli and Adelante la Fe. “I have to obey God and therefore in this case the priest has to say to the bishop, ‘Your Excellency you order me to commit a sin and I cannot do this, I have to obey God and I cannot obey you.’”

“He has to resist even to the extent that he will lose his office,” added Bishop Schneider. “Better to lose all but not to commit sin against the commandment of God.” 

  • Dr Kelly Bowring – an eminent Catholic theologian and expert on prophecy, who has written many books – one of which has an Imprimatur.

See: http://twoheartspress.com/category/blog/ for his article on “Correcting Pope Francis: Detraction or Duty”   (Posted 3rd  Feb , 2016)

http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/2016/10/14/why-pope-francis-is-a-false-prophet/   (14th October, 2016)

  • Fr Weinandy’s letter

Fr Weinandy was asked to resign from his post as consultant to the bishops on the USCCB as a result of his letter.

See: http://www.catholicworldreport.com/2017/11/01/fr-thomas-g-weinandy-explains-his-critical-letter-to-pope-francis/  The letter was dated 31 July, 2017

 Read the details of  the miraculous intervention for writing his letter in the supplement of our booklet.

  • Fr Weinandy spoke at a conference hosted by Notre Dame University in Sydney on Feb. 23, 2018 – developing the themes of his letter to the Pope.

Referring to Pope Francis, he said that his “papacy was marked by “chronic confusion” and that he teaches with “a seemingly intentional lack of clarity.”

“It would appear that Pope Francis identifies himself not as the promoter of unity,” he concludes, “but as the agent of division.”

“… Weinandy warns that, “these four defining ecclesial marks (One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic)  are presently at risk.  This threat comes not only from within the Catholic theological community, but even and regrettably from within Church leadership.”

  • Cardinal Gerhard Müller:
  • “ Formulating pastoral practices based on ”individual cases” is a ‘rhetorical trick” that undermines the unity of the faith”

    “…Christ did not institute the Magisterium in order to initiate processes which lead to confusion.”

    “The task of the pope, together with the Congregation for the Faith, is to preserve the unity of the Church in the revealed truth….”

The Church and the Pope: Part 3- Correcting the pope

AM+DG

Correcting the Pope – Saints and Popes

Pope Adrian VI († 1523)

“If by the Roman Church you mean its head or pontiff, it is beyond question that he can err even in matters touching the faith. He does this when he teaches heresy by his own judgment or decretal. In truth, many Roman pontiffs were heretics. The last of them was Pope John XXII († 1334).”

St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, II, q. 33, a   “It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly.”

 St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, II, q. 33, a. 4, Sed Contra.  “Augustine says in his Rule: ‘Show mercy not only to yourselves, but also to him who, being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger.’ But fraternal correction is a work of mercy. Therefore even prelates ought to be corrected.” 

Pope St. Gregory the Great  “It is better that scandals arise than the truth be suppressed.” 

 “But, when necessity compels, not those only who are invested with power of rule are bound to safeguard the integrity of faith, but, as St. Thomas maintains: ‘Each one is under obligation to show forth his faith, either to instruct and encourage others of the faithful, or to repel the attacks of unbelievers.’”https://www.stpeterslist.com/7334/the-path-to-hell-is-paved-with-the-skulls-of-bishops-8-quotes-and-sources/

Strategies Employed to correct Pope Francis so far, include:

  • Dubia: Centuries old tradition of correcting a pope issued by  Cardinals Burke, Caffara, Meisner and Brandmüller. (see image below) (2 of these cardinals are now deceased. The questions were ignored by Pope Francis.)

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/full-text-of-4-cardinals-letter-to-pope-francis-with-explanatory-notes-and

  • A Filial Correction was issued to the pope by 62 signatories  in a 25 page letter. This measure had not been employed since the 14th century. See articles below. Also NY Times, 23 Sept. 2017 & Rorate Caeli.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/the-worldwide-impact-and-significance-of-the-filial-correction

  • Correction by three bishops against Pope Francis’ interpretation of Amoris Laetitia … saying such a reading is causing “rampant confusion,” is “alien” to the Catholic faith, and will spread “a plague of divorce” in the Church. Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary of Astana, Kazakhstan, Archbishop Tomash Peta, Metropolitan of Astana, and Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga of Karaganda, Kazakhstan issued a Profession of the immutable truths about sacramental marriage on December 31 as a “service of charity in truth” to the Church of today and to the Pope. (Jan 2, LifeSiteNews)  (This original group of 3 now stands at 7 Bishops as in Jan. 2018)

The Church and the Pope – Part 2

AM+DG

 Words and Actions of Pope Francis

  • “To bow down with compassionate love before the weak and needy is part of the authentic spirit of religion…”

This is the same Francis who refuses to genuflect before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at Holy Mass and yet urges Christians to “kneel in veneration when a poor person enters the church.” (Robert de Mattei 5 Nov 16)

“It’s not right to convince someone of your faith … proselytism is the strongest venom,”

In an address of roughly 1,200 words, Francis saw fit to cite generic “religion” and “mercy” nearly a dozen times; even as he failed to invoke the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ – the personification of God’s mercy – even once. 

  • The “authentic” religions, according to Francis, are those that practice “mercy” defined in strictly earthbound, humanistic, terms such as:

Fraternal service, sincere sharing, dialogue … Opposition to conflict, division, intolerance, misunderstanding, closed-mindedness, disrespect, violence and discrimination … Concern for those in sickness, disability, poverty, injustice, conflicts and migrations …

 

November 18, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis has criticized the “legalism” of Catholics raising concern about his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia mere days after four cardinals  (i.e. Cardinals Raymond Burke, Joachim Meisner, Walter Brandmüller, and Carlo Caffarra) went public with their request that he clarify it.

“Some, as with certain responses to Amoris Laetitia, persist in seeing only white or black, when rather one ought to discern in the flow of life,” Pope Francis said in an interview with Avvenire. “But these critiques – if they’re not from an evil spirit – do help. Some types of rigorism spring from the desire to hide one’s own dissatisfaction under armour.” 

Pope-francis: review of 2017 – Short summary:

See https://thewildvoice.org/pope-francis-2017/  for the video.

 “In just one year The False Prophet Pope Francis said Jesus “made Himself the devil”; joked that the Holy Trinity is always arguing; issued a stamp with the image of Martin Luther; claimed that “God cannot be God without man; advocated for changing translation of the “Our Father” prayer; and much more…(See the link above at The Wild Voice for ‘A chronological review of headlines and quotes of Pope Francis during 2017’. Each quote, headline, and news story in the video is dated and sourced (Vatican Website, Catholic News Agency, BBC, New York Times, La Repubblica, etc.)”

The following is from: https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/the-abcs-of-our-concerns-with-pope-francis

  • On January 19, 2015 while speaking of “responsible” parenthood, the pope cautioned against Catholics breeding “like rabbits.”

The Vatican issued a stamp featuring Luther and put out a document saying Catholics now recognize Martin Luther as a ‘witness to the gospel’.

Pope Francis has frequently castigated faithful adherents of the Catholic faith as “obsessed,” “doctors of the law,” “neo-pelagian,” “self-absorbed,” “restorationist,” “fundamentalist,” “rigid,” “ideological,” “hypocritical,”  rosary-counters, and much more.

More quotes from Pope Francis:

From “ https://thewildvoice.org/pope-francis-bad-fruits/

Of the Holy Spirit – ‘Pope Francis’ says:‘The Paraclete (the Holy Spirit) creates all the differences among the Churches, almost as if he were an Apostle of Babel.‘   (MARCH 15, 2013, VATICAN )

Of Jesus Christ – ‘Pope Francis’ Says:
‘And it’s fine (the Cross) but not just as a badge, as if it were a team, the badge of a team; but rather as the memory of the man (Jesus) who made himself sin, who made himself the devil, the serpent, for us; he debased himself up to the point of totally annihilating himself.‘    (APRIL 4, 2017 – L’OSSERVATORE ROMANO)

Of the Most Holy Trinity – ‘Pope Francis’ jokes:
‘Inside the Holy Trinity they’re all arguing behind closed doors, but on the outside they give the picture of unity.‘   (MARCH 25, 2017 – CRUX)

Of God the Father–‘Pope Francis’ says:
‘God cannot be God without man… Let us also think of the Father, of our Father who cannot be without us, and who is watching us at this moment.‘     (JUNE 7, 2017 – ROME REPORTS/VIDEO)

  • Of the Blessed Virgin Mary – ‘Pope Francis’ says:
    ‘She was silent, but in her heart, how many things she told the Lord! ‘You, that day, this and the other that we read, you had told me that he would be great, you had told me that you would have given him the throne of David, his forefather, that he would have reigned forever and now I see him there!’ Our Lady was human! And perhaps she even had the desire to say: ‘Lies! I was deceived!‘ (DECEMBER 20, 2013 – VATICAN RADIO)

On Jesus Pope Francis said:

(See details at: “ https://thewildvoice.org/pope-francis-bad-fruits/)

‘Pope Francis’ said that Jesus “had to beg forgiveness of his parents“ and that the Virgin Mary reproached Christ. (when lost in the temple)

Pope Francis’ questionable statements/actions:

‘Pope Francis’ claimed that lost souls do not go to Hell, saying “there is no punishment, but the annihilation of that soul. All the others will participate in the beatitude of living in the presence of the Father. The souls that are annihilated will not take part in that banquet; with the death of the body their journey is finished.”

On June 8, 2014, Pentecost, the day that celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles (often called “the birthday of the Church”), ‘Pope Francis’ hosted the first ever Muslim and Jewish prayers and Koran readings at the Vatican.

‘Pope Francis’ sent an iPhone video message recorded by (now deceased) Tony Palmer to a group of evangelicals gathered by “The Godfather of the Prosperity Gospel” TV Preacher Kenneth Copeland.  Tony Palmer dubbed this event the beginning of “the miracle of unity” and with the claimed approval of ‘Pope Francis’ said “The real communion is not the bread, but the brother.“

‘Pope Francis’ released a video promoting his prayer intention of “Inter-religious Dialogue”.  It featured an Islamic Leader, a Buddhist Lama, a Jewish Rabbi, and a Catholic Priest.  The video included images of Muslim prayer beads, a Buddha statue, and a Menorah, but no cross.  All religions were presented equally and the star of the video, ‘Pope Francis’, said “Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty we have for all: we are all children of God.”

‘Pope Francis’ said that “Mother Earth“ is the one who ‘gave us life and safeguards us‘.

‘Pope Francis’ approved of contraception in certain circumstances.

‘Pope Francis’ issued an Apostolic Exhortation (Amoris Laetitia) that changes the practice of denying Holy Communion to those who are in ‘irregular unions‘ (divorced and remarried, etc.).

On December 8, 2015, the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the official opening day of the “Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy“, as well as the 50th anniversary of the close of the Second Vatican Council, images of animals (and pagan gods and goddesses) were projected onto the facade of Saint Peter’s Basilica at an event called “Fiat Lux: Illuminating Our Common Home“ as an homage to nature inspired by ‘Pope Francis” climate change encyclical, “Laudato Si” and coinciding with the COP 21 climate conference in Paris.

Pope Francis’ after being asked about the murder of Father Hamel, a Priest whose throat was slashed by an Islamic jihadist during Mass in Paris, mentioned “fruit salad“, said “If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence“, and generically condemned “fundamentalists“ while pushing “coexistence“.

On October 31, 2016, All Hallows’ Eve, ‘Pope Francis’ participated in a joint ceremony with the World Lutheran Federation to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, signing a joint pledge to work to remove all obstacles to full unity; He has also said that he “admires” Martin Luther and that “the intentions of Martin Luther were not mistaken“. He has put a red statue of Martin Luther in the Vatican, and even left Lutherans wondering if they are already allowed to take Holy Communion in the Catholic Church.

  • ‘Pope Francis’ said “It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam. However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.“

Comments by Cardinals and Bishops re Francis:

  • Cardinal Raymond Burke:  “Confusion in the Church indicates we may have ‘arrived at the End Times (30 Nov. 2017, LifeSite News)

 

  • Cardinal Raymond Burke: “If a Pope would formally profess heresy he would cease, by that act, to be the Pope. It’s automatic.”

 

  • Cardinal Walter Brandmüller :“That is to say, he who claims that one may enter a new relationship while one’s own lawful wife is still alive is excommunicated because this is an erroneous teaching, a heresy. Whoever does make such a claim [is excommunicated]. And he who simply practices it [adultery] is gravely sinning. And then there is added that whoever is conscious of a grave sin may only go to Communion if he previously has done penance, has confessed his sins, and has been absolved. Thus, if someone thinks he can contradict the defined Dogma of a General Council [Council of Trent], then that is indeed quite vehement. Exactly that is what one calls heresy – and that means exclusion from the Church – because one has left the common foundation of Faith.”   (28 Oct 2017 I onepeterfive)

 

  • Bishop Schneider pronounced that Catholics “have to bear in mind that the Pope is not the creator of the truth, of the faith and of the sacramental discipline of the Church. The Pope and the entire Magisterium “is not above the Word of God, but serves it, teaching only what has been handed on” (Second Vatican Council, Dei Verbum, 10). “ (4 Jan. 2018, LifeSite News)

 

  • Pope (Emeritus) Benedict XVI sent a sobering message at the funeral of Cardinal Joachim Meisner today, saying he was moved at the dubiacardinal’s ability to “live out of a deep conviction that the Lord does not abandon His Church, even when the boat has taken on so much water as to be on the verge of capsizing.” (15 July, 2017, LifeSiteNews)

 

  • Pope Benedict XVI:

“The Pope’s ministry is a guarantee of obedience to Christ and to His Word. He must not proclaim his own ideas, but rather constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to God’s Word, in the face of every attempt to adapt it or water it down, and every form of opportunism.”

  • Cardinal Sarah:

“The Church today is going through unprecedented exterior and into interior trials. Something like an earthquake is seeking to demolish her doctrinal foundations and her centuries-old moral teachings.” (29 Sept. 2017, LifeSiteNews)

Oath of Allegiance and Changes to the Mass – Setting up the Infrastructure for the New One-World Church

A+M+D+G

Priests beware –

 

 

 

  • Pope Francis issued “Magnum Principium” on 3, 2017 which changes the rules for liturgical translations. It transfers power to episcopal conferences (i.e. to the bishops in their own local dioceses) and thus away from the Congregation for Divine Worship in Rome.

 

 

Secret committee working on an ecumenical Mass reported by Marco Tosatti, who listed Archbishop  Piero Marini and a modernist lay liturgist – Andrea Grillo as being some of those involved.  He claims that Cardinal Sarah has not been officially informed. See “firstthings.com”

This confirms Fra Cristoforo’s article published 10 months previously on 03/01/17.

  • Pope Francis issues an apostolic letter giving local bishops permission to approve changes to the Mass – “Magnum Principium”

  • On 16th 2017, GloriaTv reported that ecumenical Masses had started in Turin Italy according to Fra Cristoforo

https://gloria.tv/article/12HtBydxvUc21fhPZaKobfKV7

  • On 14th Jan 2018, Dr. Kelly Bowring, a renowned Catholic theologian, published a YouTube video: “Pope Francis’ Plan to Implement an Oath of Loyalty and a New Ecumenical Mass”

  See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRE7H9ZpBKE  published 14th Jan. 2018

 

  • Fra Cristoforo reveals that the process for the oath for the clergy has begun – outlined by Pope Francis is his new document “Veritatis Gaudium”. This confirms Dr Kelly Bowring’s warning of 14th 2018.

Email received 3 Feb. 2018 from Fra Cristoforo;  “Brief note: the oath of fidelity to Bergoglio begins today in the Faculties of Theology”

The new Apostolic Constitution on the Faculties of Theology promulgated today by the Holy See is called Veritatis Gaudium. Signed by Bergoglio. Obviously.

Look what is written in numbers 26 and 27 (referring to teachers) of this Constitution:

  1. 26 §2: “Those who then teach matters concerning faith and morality must be aware that this task must be carried out in full communion with the authentic Magisterium of the Church and, in particular, of the Roman Pontiff …”.

That is Bergoglio. Be careful. In matters of faith and morality. In communion with Bergoglio. Ergo … Amoris Laetitia.

  1. 27: “Those who teach disciplines concerning faith and morality must receive, after having issued the profession of faith, the canonical mission of the Grand Chancellor or his delegate”.

Profession of faith towards whom? Obviously it will be towards the new magistero of Bergoglio.

(Http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/it/apost_constitutions/documents/papa-francesco_costituzione-ap_20171208_veritatis-gaudium.html)

Here then launched the famous “oath”.

Below. Silent silent. From the Faculties of Theology.

Those who teach future Priests.

They will promise to teach in communion with the magisterium of Bergoglio.

Not that it’s a novelty. But at least they have “formalized” it.

Now it will be up to the Parish Priests.

Fra Cristoforo

(translated from the Italian)

  • Book of Truth:

In messages dated 13th Sept 2011 and 18th Aug. 2013, entitled “Changes to be introduced in the Church which will contradict the word of God” and “They will be asked to pledge their allegiance, through a new oath, to remain faithful to the Church”

Read Prophecies in Book of Truth regarding changes to the Mass and the Oath to be taken by priests:

https://missionofsalvation.wordpress.com/Message-0191/

https://missionofsalvation.wordpress.com/Message-0880/

In Conclusion

“Magnum Principium” and “Veritatis Gaudium”  –

Canon Law changed to enable changes to the Mass;

and the

Apostolic letter issued regarding the Oath for priests.

The changes to the Mass, and the rules enabling it to happen have been carefully orchestrated, step by step.

The Oath to be taken by all priests is still in its infancy – at present applicable to Faculties of Theology in Universities.

When priests have taken the oath, they will be impelled to offer the New Mass which will be heretical – an abomination.

The new law can affect the very wording of the Consecration of the Mass. When this happens, ‘transsubstantiation” will not take place. The Bible readings used may also be manipulated, so that we hear only half of the Truth, and thus get a wrong impression. It will be more welcoming to all and sundry –  the basis for the One World Church. The Eucharist will now be simply a memorial meal – Jesus will no longer be present. The “Abomination of Desolation” foretold by the prophet Daniel will now be in place.

Priests beware – don’t be caught in the trap. Read the Book of Truth.

Many, many prophecies have already been fulfilled. The True Church – which will be the remnant Church, needs you. You won’t be alone.

The Remnant Army will seek you out to help you, give you food, accommodation, and everything you need to continue your priestly ministry, even if underground.

Any priest who needs help and support, contact any Jesus to Mankind (Crusade) Prayer Group or Book of Truth site in your country.

 

The Nativity Scene Of the Anti-Church

AMDG

Removing Christ from Christmas

We have all seen the efforts to remove Christ at Christmas: “Happy holidays”; removing nativity scenes from shopping centres because they discriminate against other people’s beliefs; in most western countries the “Santa Claus” identity, which is used by retailers to sell their goods.

We have tried to fight back. Some stores (at least down here in Australia) have returned the traditional Nativity scene; I haven’t heard the phrase “happy holidays used in this country, but in U.S. I believe, there is a movement back to “Merry Christmas” instead of “happy holidays”.  We might think that there is not much we can do about Santa Claus – but wait, there is. Children love to hear about St Nicholas and the Christmas traditions of other cultures – e.g. “Christkindl”. We should teach our children that  Santa Claus is just a big copycat – not just in the giving of gifts, but in his attire. The bishop’s mitre of St Nicholas was changed into a silly red hat, and his stately bishop’s robe and cloak changed into a jacket and pants. Even the beautiful “Christkindl” was changed into “Kris Kringle”!

It is easy to say this, but in reality it is difficult to fight. My own children were brought up on Santa Claus as were my grandchildren – but they did know about St Nicholas and I have a St Nicholas displayed in all his glory in the Advent and Christmas season. The children should know that it is Jesus’ birthday.

The Great Nativity Scene Deception

Today, however, I saw in a new post in Veritas Vincit, the ultimate betrayal. – the official Nativity Scene erected outside the Vatican.

You might think that it is all about the Corporal works of Mercy. Corporal Works of Mercy are very Christian- they are all about doing good to our neighbour, being merciful, being humble, giving of ourselves…. Wouldn’t Jesus be proud of us?

But when you look at the scene, it is hard to identify Joseph; and Mary is away at the side somewhere – not even near the Christchild. There are “close to 20 life-size images, making it very difficult to find Jesus, Mary and Joseph”.

Instead, there are figures of a person being visited in prison, burying the dead, clothing the naked. The latter depicts a man who is naked. This is what attracts your attention! It is designed to take the focus away from Jesus, Mary and Joseph. They are completely crowded out.  I would not be taking any young children to see this nativity scene.

It focuses on helping others, instead of adoring our new-born Saviour.  It seems to be trying to remove Christ from Christmas – to remove Christ from our consciousness completely. It is a great betrayal  by the man who sits in the chair of Peter, to further remove any thought of Christ. He is paving the way to remove Christ completely – paving the way for the new One World Religion.

Focussing on humanism and secularism are indicators of Communism – the “errors of communism” as predicted by Our Lady at Fatima.

“The wickedness of the beast will be disguised as charming and modern and it will be revealed to all behind the veneer of humanitarianism, charity and ‘care for the poor’. …Every gesture, subtle though it may be, will be designed to insult Me, Jesus Christ, the Son of Man. The deceiver, through his servants, cannot resist mocking Me, for he hates Me. (See whole message at: https://missionofsalvation.wordpress.com/Message-0938/  

(From Book of Truth: 17th October, 2013)

Why go to such lengths?

Christmas brings to mind the truth of Jesus’ birth – not just a myth, but an historic fact. This goes against the objectives of the One World Order.

 “The false prophet will have a religion without a cross…. There will be a counterfeit church. Christ’s church will be one. And the False prophet will create the other. The false church will be worldly, ecumenical and global….It will be emptied of all divine content…” (Archbishop Fulton Sheen, 1950)

Why do they want to destroy Christmas?

The Book of Truth tells us about the effects of Christmas:

  • “Christmas Day is My Gift to humanity. It is because of this day that eternal life became possible for mortal man.” (22 Dec, 2012)
  • “My Birth is a Sign to all that God the Eternal Father, loved His children, so much, that He made a huge Sacrifice. By allowing Me to come to Earth, to live amongst you all, He showed His Compassion and desire to save you, by permitting My death. If He had not sent Me, man could not be saved.” (24 Sept. 2010)
  • “Nevertheless, it has been acknowledged by devout Christians as a time to reflect on their allegiance to Me their Saviour“ (25 Dec 2010)
  • “Remember then, at Christmas, that My birth was to help you begin to re-evaluate your belief in the Heavens, to which you are all entitled to be part of. By remembering My Life, you can now join with Me in My Father’s Kingdom, if you open your hearts and ask Me to embrace you once more.” (24 Dec. 2010)
  • “As all of you celebrate My Birthday, allow Me to enter your heart on this special day – for this day is Mine. Invite Me into your home as a favoured guest and introduce Me to those amongst your family, friends and neighbours, who may have forgotten about Me. Christmas may be a celebration about Me, but I am ignored amidst the great rejoicings, which take place.” (Dec. 22, 2014)
  • ” You can only love one God and the only way to My Father is through Me, His Only-Begotten Son. Separate yourselves from Me in pursuits of political campaigns, which strive to promote human rights and social justice as a substitute for the Word, then you will deny Me.” (20 Dec. 2014)
  • “This is the time for My children, everywhere, to reflect on My life on Earth. It is a time for them to consider the implications that My birth represents, for all of mankind. It is because of My birth that man will seek salvation.” (24 Dec. 2010)

Christmas reinforces the truth of Jesus’ birth – Christmas might lead people back to God – therefore the enemy wants to destroy it.

Another Crusader’s view by friend (Tt Crusader) who regularly contributes to this site.

“Even I’m shocked! What does any of this have to do with the Nativity ???

Notice, for your discernment:

1) the destroyed copula, with the real cupola of St Peter’s in the background, represents the destruction of the Catholic Church,

combined with

2) the Star of Bethlehem which looks more like a falling nuclear missile/meteorite

So the distorted copola/star combination of this “nativity scene” is a message about the upcoming one world religion.”

From the Book of Truth (27 Nov. 2014): “The false church of darkness will be built to replace the old after the great inferno. All that was present in my Son’s Church will be replaced with all that will be new.” (Mother of Salvation )”

DonnaLiane’s comments on Veritas Vincit site:

Those who have seen it are right in saying that the viewer’s attention is first drawn to the naked man (who is lying down, mind you!) It’s all about vectors. These are lines created which draw your eyes in a ‘path’ so that each element has a particular prominence and order of importance. It is used to greatly emphasize certain parts And in this scene the figures have been situated, framed by the giant tree, to draw attention to that naked man figure first. He is not even realistic!

Homeless people or the destitute poor who cannot even clothe themselves are not going to look like a Greek Adonis, now are they?!! And why would he be lying down, fully exposed in that fashion if he was naked? He would be curled in a ball to keep himself warm. These are either wicked men or very stupid. It must be torture to serve Our Lord in the Vatican these days. Absolute torture. …

…. It’s the context (historical and cultural) which gives meaning to an artwork. In today’s context, they are not portraying the creation of man by God, who at first did not know shame at his nakedness, or the innocence of the angels. They are likewise not pointing to the miracle and beauty of the human form as the Classical Art Movement did. Not in this nude figure, which I think is suggestively posed and prominent in its build, a man that looks physically at his peak. It easily suggests this in its execution of form, but is also interpreted solely in this manner due to the context and culture of our times and our world.
In our times, when would a figure like this one ever represent poverty and someone in dire need? Think of the images conjured of Third World Poverty. Not like this.

In addition, the nude man construct appears jarring, because of the grossly misfitting context in which it was placed; its meant to be a celebration of the birth of Our Redeemer! Love, innocence, hope fulfilled…

As I pointed out before, this is not an emaciated, poor and cold man, weathered and/or beaten by the elements and the circumstances of life, now is it?

… Every choice an artist makes or someone who approves an artwork, are deliberate.
