Archbishop Mark Coleridge: What is he all about?

+AM+DG+

220px-mark_coleridgecanberra2011_4043This is the bishop that decided to judge and condemn in an unprecedented way, as soon as he realized Catholics everywhere in this country were reading the messages given through MDM and praying the prayers. He immediately wrote a letter which appeared in every Catholic Church, Catholic newspapers, and read out by parish priests in (in many places with angry sermons) also preached condemning them. This concerted attack was quite unexpected. It was obvious he had not read the messages, nor had the other priests. I made a mental note to keep an eye on him. During the synod, I saw  some of his comments, and since then much has unfolded and is still unfolding, becoming progressively worse.

Just in case, you may still doubt his agenda, see extracts and headlines below:

Headline: Archbishop Coleridge: Adultery is not really Adultery, it “is perhaps too sweeping”

by Remnant Clergy on Biblical False Prophet (20th Oct. 2015)

Excerpts:

  • “It’s also clear that those voices, clinging desperately to some imagined or ideologised past, cannot point the way into the future. History will have its way, however much we try to cling to illusions of timelessness.”
  • “ … a second marriage that is enduring and stable and loving, and where there are children who are cared for is not the same as a couple skulking off to a hotel room for a wicked weekend. So, the rubrik “audultery” in one sense is important, but in another sense it doesn’t say enough. And I think what a pastoral approach requires is that we actually enter into what the Synod is calling a “genuine pastoral dialogue of discernment” with these couples…”

Comment: Just in case anyone stands in need of a refresher, let’s review the words of Our Lord: “Whosoever [Latin: Quicumque] shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her. (Mark 10:11)”

  • “My hope is that we will move towards, without actually accomplishing it this Synod, a genuinely new pastoral approach. Now, at the heart of this, I think there has to be a whole new language”

Comment:” He is speaking of changing language in order to bring about a substantial change. He even tells us that the change being sought after is “far from cosmetic”. He is talking – quite plainly, in fact – of preaching a new Word.”

Headline in the American Jesuit Magazine, “The National Catholic Review” on 9th Dec. 2016: “Australian Archbishop Says the Church Should Not Strive for “False Clarity” .

  • The article states that “…Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, Australia, thinks some of his fellow prelates are afraid of confronting reality.”. Archbishop Coleridge said he agrees with a fellow Aussie, Cardinal George Pell, who said in London recently that some Catholics are “unnerved” by the debate about “Amoris Laetitia.”
  • “I think that’s probably the right word, and I sensed in the words of the four cardinals men who were unnerved,” Archbishop Coleridge said. “Clearly, they had been spoken to by a lot of people who were unnerved. I can understand that.”

Comment: “But where Cardinal Pell went on to suggest the pope needed to offer clarity on the issue, Archbishop Coleridge said Francis is simply acting like a pastor.”

Headline: “Conclusions from the Synod on the Family: Brisbane’s Archbishop Coleridge”  

Sunday, October 25, 2015 

Excerpts:

  • “Archbishop Coleridge raised ire from some other bishops at the synod when he spoke about divorced and remarried couples and same-sex couples, saying: “I personally think it’s just not in touch with reality to say there is no good in those relationships.”
  • “Archbishop Coleridge has even been described in LGBTQ media as a bishop who gets it.”
  • “We weren’t sure whether he (i.e. pope francis at the end of the synod) would back up and speak again at the end of the Synod, …I started taking notes but I thought, “no, no, no, no, no, put the pen down and just listen to what he’s saying”. And as I listened to Pope Francis speak, I thought, “this is the voice of Peter”.
  • “It’s either light or darkness, good versus evil, all or nothing, and I just don’t think that’s the way human life works”

Headline on Lifesite News: Synod danger: Changing our language, changing our religion  ROME,

October 24, 2015

  • Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, Australia, gave a candid answer at the Vatican press conference on Tuesday to a question posed about the “love the sinner, hate the sin” distinction by LifeSiteNews’ editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen. Coleridge argued that the distinction “no longer communicates” “in the real world” where sexuality is “part of [your] entire being.”
  • “When we say that this or that act is “intrinsically disordered” or evil, we are taken to be saying that the person who commits the act is “intrinsically disordered” or evil. Because sexuality is no longer seen as being a matter of what a person does; it’s seen now as what a person is… So we can no longer condemn the sin but not the sinner.”

And guess what he is planning:

My comment: Remember how before the last 2 synods there was this questionnaire in all the parishes? This was a very clever way of supporting the radical agenda they had in mind for the previous 2 synods. Well, in the last couple of months, we have all had another questionnaire – I imagine it is to be used for this upcoming synod. I guess he wants to be in the fp’s good books!

Headline in LifeSite News 0n August 19, 2016 (Editorial) : “The first step needed to get the Church out of the current crisis

Excerpts:

  • “There are plans currently underway  for national and diocesan synods on marriage and family based on the controversial Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia. While these could, given the ambiguity in the papal exhortation, go either way, seeing who has taken up this proposal gives evidence of a very concerning development.
  • San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy and Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge have both embarked on the synod pathway with McElroy planning his diocesan synod for October and Coleridge planning a national synod for all Australia in 2020. Coleridge said he expects the national synod to address homosexual “marriage” and “ordained ministry” (a likely reference to female clergy), and any other issues of interest”

My comment: Remember how before the last 2 synods there was this questionnaire in all the parishes? Very clever way of supporting the radical agenda they had in mind for the previous two synods. Well, in the last couple of months, we have all had another questionnaire – I imagine it is to be used for this upcoming synod. I guess he wants to impress pf!

The latest horror:

Headline “Catholic archdiocese allows ‘sacrilegious’ semi-nude fashion show in a church – then defends it .

  Thu Dec 15, 2016

nude-fashion-showExcerpts:

  • “The Catholic archdiocese of Brisbane, which is led by Archbishop Mark Coleridge, has defended the staging of a sexually charged, explicitly anti-Christian ballet and fashion show in a Catholic church.
  • Held in St. Patrick’s Church in Fortitude Valley in October 2016, the event included an erotically suggestive ballet performed in front of the high altar in the sanctuary, during which an almost nude man and woman, wearing flesh-toned undergarments, re-enacted the fall of Adam and Eve, …
  • The aisle of St. Patrick’s, a consecrated church in which Mass is held weekly, became the “catwalk” for a fashion show in which models strutted up to the sanctuary to pose before the high altar and tabernacle. In a statement issued on Coleridge’s behalf, archdiocesan spokesperson Aidan Turner asserted “proper precautions” were taken.
  • “The altar and the Blessed Sacrament were moved before the event and returned after it ended”

My comment: The church building and especially the altar are consecrated – it is Sacred space. The fact that the Bl. Sacrament was removed at the time does not take away the blasphemy that occurred in this Sacred Place. It actually seems very ‘pagan’ to me.

The Archbishop’s Advent letter:

Excerpts from “The Flesh and the Facts: An Advent Pastoral letter 2016”

 “…It’s extraordinary to claim that the God whom neither time nor space can contain became a human being at a  particular time and in a particular place. But that’s what we celebrate through Advent and the Christmas season. This puts a bomb under any sense that the material world in general and the flesh in particular are bad. In Genesis we’re told that God saw what he had made and found it very good. ( 1:31). Christmas says that God saw what he had made and, seeing its goodness disfigured, decided to become part of his own creation to restore it to the glory he intended from the beginning….

…The challenge now is not to abandon the faith in favour of the facts, but to create a new engagement of the faith with the culture of which we’re part – as the logic of the Incarnation demands….”

… During the Synod process of 2014 and 2015 Pope Francis invited the whole Church to consider marriage and the family in the light of the changed and changing facts. This is a vital area where the split between the Gospel and culture is perhaps more apparent than in other areas of human life. What the Church believes and teaches and what the wider culture thinks and does have been moving in different directions for some time. The Church can’t just look the other way in the belief that the wider culture is doomed. That’s not the Catholic way. We are a Church who, because we take the Incarnation seriously, take culture seriously and seek to engage it as creatively as we can. This means we have to be in touch with reality rather than inhabiting some abstract world which can produce what the Holy Father has called “dry and lifeless doctrine” (Amoris Laetitia, 59) and “a cold, bureaucratic morality” (Amoris Laetitia, 312)….

…Pope Francis has spoken often of the need for the whole Church – not just the pastors – to undergo “a pastoral conversion”. The word “pastoral” can mean many things, but it doesn’t mean that we compromise the truths of the faith. It does mean however that we get in touch with the facts of human experience. It means that we, like God, abandon the world of abstraction to engage the real lives of real people in the ways traced by the Pope’s Apostolic Exhortation, “The Joy of Love”. This will mean a new kind of listening to the truth of people’s experience. From a new listening will come a new language that people can understand because it’s in touch with their lives. That’s what it means to be a truly pastoral Church. It’s also what it means to speak of a new evangelisation by a more missionary Church. …”

Comments:

‘a bomb under any sense that the material world in general and the flesh in particular are bad.’ Is the Archbishop accusing certain parts of the church of believing that the world and flesh are ‘bad’?– This is far from the truth. True Catholics know that the flesh is not bad, but if it is used contrary to God’s law, evil results, and Grace is lost. When God created the world (Genesis) it was in reality “Good” and pure. Today, we are born, not pure, but tainted with Original sin and a weakness and disposition to sin. We have to confess our sins and have sorrow in order to return to Grace.

‘dry and lifeless doctrine’ – this doctrine, on the contrary, is life-giving – it leads to eternal life. That which is proposed, where there is no sorrow for sins and no change and conforming to God’s law, leads to hell. Jesus forgave the sinful woman, but He said “Go and sin no more.”

‘engage the real lives of real people in the ways traced by the Pope’s Apostolic Exhortation,’ – how about engaging people’s lives in the ways taught by Jesus Christ? God doesn’t change His teachings because people can’t cope. Jesus is God and His teachings are for all time for all people to follow. It’s nonsense to think that people can’t cope – there are people who do – in all sorts of circumstances.

Please pray for all our priests, bishops and cardinals –

that the blind may see the Truth;

and that those who do see, have courage to speak up.

Remember,

the road to heaven is through the ‘narrow gate’.

If we don’t want to follow God’s Commandments,

then we have no right to be called “Christian”!

 

 

Second stage of Schism – Prophecy Fulfilled

+AM+DG+

Are we at the second stage of the schism?

 “The schism in My Church will be broken into different stages.B of T

The first stage will be when only those who truly know Me, and understand the Truth of the Holy Gospels, will decide that they cannot accept lies in My Name….”

The second stage will come about when people are denied the Holy Sacraments, as they are meant to be.” 

 (Prophecy from the Book of Truth 20th October, 2013)

See article on First Stage of schism fulfilled at : https://remnantdisciples.wordpress.com/2016/11/29/the-dubia-schism-and-prophecy/

The Holy Sacraments of Eucharist, Holy Orders, Extreme Unction (Last Rites) are DEFINITELY NOT being administered in the way “they are meant to be.” (see prophecy above).

In the latter case,, while still excluding men with deep-seated tendencies, the rules have been  relaxed so that men with “transitory homosexual tendencies”. See fullarticle at the above link.

Would these examples below also count?

  • Pf emphasizes that “unjust discrimination” against gays and lesbians is unacceptable, and he downplays the idea of “living in sin” and suggests that priests should use their own discretion on whether divorced Catholics in new marriages can take Communion. See CNN news at: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/08/europe/vatican-pope-family

In fact, because of his many (unofficial) utterances, many take it that those living in adulterous relationships can approach the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, if they want to.

AND WHAT ABOUT CONFESSION?

  • “And here I recommend that you understand not only the language of the word, but also that of gestures. If someone comes to you and feels something must be removed from him, but perhaps he is unable to say it, but you understand … it’s all right, he says it this way, with the gesture of coming. First condition. Second, he is repentant. If someone comes to you it is because he doesn’t want to fall into these situations, but he doesn’t dare say it, he is afraid to say it and then not be able to do it. But if he cannot do it, ad impossibila nemo tenetur [no one is obliged to do the impossible]. And the Lord understands these things, the language of gestures. Have open arms, to understand what is inside that heart that cannot be said or said this way … somewhat because of shame … you understand me….. Often shame makes one mute and … The gesture, the language of the gesture. (Meeting with priests and deacons of Rome, February 11, 2016)  See  full article at: https://en.denzingerbergoglio.com/if-someone-comes-to-you-and-feels-something-must-be-removed-from-him-but-perhaps-he-is-unable-to-say-it-but-you-understand-its-all-right-he-says-it-this-way-with-the-ge/#Francis

Can we receive absolution without confessing? That is not a true administration of the Sacrament.

The Holy Sacraments will never be the same again, and this is only the beginning.

Are we at the second  stage of the schism?

The Dubia, Schism and Prophecy

+AM+DG+

“The schism in My Church will be broken into different stages.

The first stage will be when only those who truly know Me, and understand the Truth of the Holy Gospels, will decide that they cannot accept lies in My Name….” (Prophecy from the Book of Truth 20th October, 2013)

Are we at the beginning of the first stage of the schism?

“Those who truly know Me and understand the truth of the holy Gospels” – i.e. the 4 Cardinals (Cardinals Raymond, Walter Brandmüller, Carlo Caffarra, and Joachim Maisner).

“…will decide that they cannot accept lies in My Name….”

they requested from Bergoglio a clarification about doubts which have arisen as a result of Amoris Laetitia. On 19th September they sent a letter to the pope, which was a set of 5 Yes/No questions on matters in AL which are at odds with Catholic moral teaching. When he had not responded within 2 months, they made the letter public.

The “Dubia” questions:

1) whether adulterers can receive Holy Communion;

2) whether there are absolute moral norms that must be followed “without exceptions;”

3) if habitual adultery is an “objective situation of grave habitual sin;”

4) whether an intrinsically evil act can be turned into a “‘subjectively’ good” act based on “circumstances or intentions;” and

5) if, based on “conscience,” one can act contrary to known “absolute moral norms that prohibit intrinsically evil acts.”

Two opposing sides:

In a secular newspaper (see below) it was stated “Judging by a cautionary letter to Francis during last year’s Synod on the Family, at least a dozen other cardinals, including Australia’s George Pell, share some of their (the 4 cardinals) concerns”.

After the letter was made public, Bishop Athanasius Schneider also spoke up in support of the 4 Cardinals. He said “they did their basic duty. Bishop Schneider  had “great astonishment for what he called the “unusually violent and intolerant” nature of the backlash, adding that such reaction runs contrary to the Pope’s call for “dialogue and acceptance of legitimate plurality of opinions.”

“Such apodictic merciless judgments reveal not only intolerance, refusal of dialogue, and irrational rage but demonstrate also a surrender to the impossibility of speaking the truth, a surrender to relativism in doctrine and practice, in faith and life,” he said. See https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-another-bishop-defends-the-four-cardinals-they-did-their-basic-dut

The Opposition:

Cardinals Blasé Cupich and Thomas Tobin and others such as Jesuit Antonio Spadaro referred to the 4 cardinals as “witless worms”.

Greek bishop Frangiskos Papamanolis accused the cardinals of the sins of “apostasy” and “scandal” and that they received Holy Communion sacrilegiously for raising concerns about the pope’s document. See the article at: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-elect-tobin-blasts-amoris-critics-not-a-yes-or-no-matter

The secular press joins in:

“As The Australian has reported, AL is at the centre of the most serious challenge facing Francis. That has come from two German cardinals, an Italian and an American. Judging by a cautionary letter to Francis during last year’s Synod on the Family, at least a dozen other cardinals, including Australia’s George Pell, share some of their concerns.

This week, the four cardinals released the “please explain’’ letter they sent the pope privately eight weeks ago. He declined to answer. Such public, formal questioning of a pope’s teaching has been unknown for centuries. The AL row has also baffled and upset Catholics in the pews, who hold immense respect from the papal office. Some would welcome a relaxation of rules, others believe such change is not Catholic and not possible.

Two days ago, one of the four, US Cardinal Raymond Burke, 68, who was the Vatican’s top church lawyer until Francis sacked him two years ago, upped the ante. Like the other three cardinals, he has nothing to lose.

In an interview, the quietly-spoken prelate said that unless Francis corrected his own document the cardinals would do it for him, by issuing “a formal act of correction of a serious error’’. There was, Burke said, a rare tradition in the Church, “the practice of correction of the Roman Pontiff’’.

Another Prophecy:

“Within six months of the heresy being introduced into My Church, many who ignored My Call, will flee and seek out those who remained true to My Holy Word. Then My Army will swell, grow and gather the remnants from all Christian churches and fight the spirit of evil.” (Prophecy from the Book of Truth 20th October, 2013)

TtCrusader (a regular contributor – sometimes gives me ideas) emailed me: (re prophecy above):

“It’s 6 months from Amoris Laetitia till the Dubia”!!!

If that’s the case: Crusaders, get ready for the influx – our army is about to grow!

The Four Horns, the Four Smiths and the Four Cardinals

+AM+DG+

By Donna Liane (19/11/2016 4:40:00 PM)

Today I felt drawn to, and went to the Bible to read. I opened on a short passage about a symbolic vision and it’s meaning as explained by God’s angel.

Zachariah 1: 18-21 (see note and alternate reference below)*

It was called “The Horns and the Smiths”:

What struck me as I read:

There were 4 horns which scattered Jerusalem.

There were also 4 smiths to strike the horns down and lay them low.

Immediately I knew that the four horns referred to the 4 cardinals and the current situation regarding the ‘Dubai’  published recently which was directed to Pope Francis.

The four horns (or announcements) in this current situation are the proclamations made by Pope Francis, which surreptitiously seek to destroy and scatter the faithful. The last entitled, “Amoris Laetitia”  has caused the  4 Cardinals to speak up at last; to cast the horn down & lay it low.

In keeping with this current interpretation of the vision, the other three horns would be his other published proclamations:

Lumen Fidei, Evangelii Gaudium, Laudato si and Amoris Laetitia, as mentioned.

If you are not from the Catholic community, the ‘dubai’ or ‘doubts’ formally raised by the Cardinals which seek clarification as to whether FP is trying to change or deny church teaching (which he cannot do) on some significant matters of faith and morals, (eg.the nature of sin and forgiveness and the worthy reception of Holy Communion) is a BIG DEAL! They are seeking to force the ‘pope’ (really an enemy of Christ) to reveal his true intentions or beliefs. They cannot prove him a deliberate persistent heretic unless he reveals the meaning of his teachings and his refusal to retract the errors. They are issuing a formal and now public correction of his heresies.

The next step may be, more or less, to declare him or his teachings anathema and to declare him an anti-pope. They may elect a new pope but this will depend on  Pope Benedict (emeritus), who is still a valid and true Pope.  In fact,  this is a big and serious task for the few, courageous Cardinals and is not being taken lightly. For now, their job, as described in the vision, is clear. Read on…

Zachariah 1: 18-21 (Douay Rheims)

[18] And I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four horns.

[19] And I said to the angel that spoke to me: What are these? And he said to me: These are the horns that have scattered Juda, and Israel, and Jerusalem.

[20] And the Lord shewed me four smiths.

[18] Four horns: The four horns represent the empires, or kingdoms, that persecute and oppress the kingdom of God.

[20] Four smiths: The four smiths, or carpenters (for faber may signify either) represent those whom God makes his instruments in bringing to nothing the power of persecutors.

[21] And I said: What come these to do? and he spoke, saying: These are the horns which have scattered Juda every man apart, and none of them lifted up his head: and these are come to fray them, to cast down the horns of the nations, that have lifted up the horn upon the land of Juda to scatter it.

AMEN

*The Douay Rheims, NIV (New International Version  and RSV (Revised Standard Version – Catholic Ed.)   –   The  reference is Zachariah 1:18-2

Both the Jerusalem Bible and the CTS New Catholic Bible have a heading entitled ‘Second Vision’. It looks like Chapter 2, but the numbers of the verses have a double numbering system so that it can read Zachariah 1: 18-21 or  2: 1-4.

In the new American Bible, the Reference is Zachariah 2: 1-4

 

Time to act!!!

+AM+DG+

BREAKING: Cardinal Burke says if Pope won’t clarify ‘serious error’, Cardinals must make ‘formal act of correction’

Galatians (1:8) 
If even an angel should preach unto you any Gospel
other than that which we preached unto you,
let him be anathema.

Matthew 24:35 (NRS) 
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

 

ROME, November 15, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – After joining a group of four cardinals in releasing a call for Pope Francis to clarify grave errors in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, Cardinal Raymond Burke has now indicated the cardinals are contemplating a “formal correction” should the pope fail to address their concerns.

The cardinals had written to the pope with their concerns on September 19, but after failing to receive a response for nearly two months, they released the letter publicly on Monday morning.

Now, in an interview with the National Catholic Register’s Ed Pentin, Burke discusses the next steps should the pope fail to address the cardinals’ concerns. Here is Pentin’s question and the cardinal’s response…( See the complete article at: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-burke-if-pope-wont-clarify-his-serious-error-cardinals-must-make-a  )

***

Burke goes on to insist that in a case of conflict between the pope and Church Tradition, the Tradition is binding.

“Ecclesial authority exists only in service of the Tradition,” Burke explains.

I think of that passage of St. Paul in the [Letter to the] Galatians (1:8), that if ‘even an angel should preach unto you any Gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.’

Cardinal Burke explains,
“It is the duty…, and historically it has happened,
of cardinals and bishops to make clear
that the Pope is teaching error and
to ask him to correct it.”

The September 19 letter, signed by Cardinals Walter Brandmüller, Raymond Burke, Carlo Caffarra, and Joachim Meisner, asked the pope 5 short questions which call for ‘yes or no’ answers that would immediately clarify the meaning of the confusion-plagued document on precisely those points where theologians, priests and even bishops have offered contradicting interpretations.

In the interview, Burke emphasizes that the cardinals have sought to act for “the good of the Church,” which, he says, “is suffering from a tremendous confusion” on the points they have raised especially. He notes, for example, that priests in different dioceses are being given contradictory directions on how to handle the question of access to Communion for those in adulterous unions.

“We, as cardinals, judged it our responsibility to request a clarification with regard to these questions, in order to put an end to this spread of confusion that is actually leading people into error,” he says.

“For us to remain silent about these fundamental doubts, which have arisen as a result of the text of Amoris Laetitia, would, on our part, be a grave lack of charity toward the Pope and a grave lack in fulfilling the duties of our own office in the Church,” he adds.

Total Depravity heresy of Luther

+AM+DG+

By Dave Webster

28 October 2016 at 17:14

As a former fundamentalist Baptist pastor I can assure you that the Reformed Protestant doctrine of the Total Depravity of humanity is the most fundamentally disruptive and destructive heresy of the Luther/Calvin Reformed movement. Without it the greatest and most tragic schism in the Church would never have taken place — the Protestant rebellion simply COULD NOT have taken place. Total Depravity is the entire basis for the false notion that faith alone, a true gift of God, is alone the cause of one’s Salvation.

Total Depravity means there is nothing man can do that God could accept as helpful to his salvation. Total Depravity means not only man by very nature, from Adam’s Fall, is barred from Heaven but man has no ability of himself whatsoever to do anything about his condition. He cannot OF HIMSELF even freely chose to respond to the faith God puts in various measure into every human heart. The claim then is that its faith ALONE THAT ACTUALLY DOES THE SAVING. Then in addition, if it is ALONE the divine impartation of faith into the heart of those God chooses to save that saves, then salvation has nothing to do with one’s free will to accept or reject faith’s voice and call.

That indeed was the view of Luther and Calvin and that has been the view of most evangelical fundamentalist Protestants to this day. This is why these also believe that even the most egregious sin committed by the “saved” cannot UN-save him. That’s the “once saved always saved” heresy. Once saved always saved and salvation by faith alone has not only led many into a very dangerous false assurance but nothing has created more animosity among so many non-Christians who have been led to believe this is true Christianity. With the lost having no real part in Salvation, with God merely choosing who He wants to save, leaving all the rest to perish in Hell, who could blame anyone for this negative reaction?
This is not however the end of the damage this heresy had caused. Reformed theologians and teachers, seeing the injustice of this thinking have over the years decided to alter their views. Oh, not to deny the heresy Total Depravity or that it is alone God’s gift of faith that saves, (to do that would admit you’re Catholic!) but to simply deny the teaching of Jesus, the Bible and the Church that “many” shall end up in an eternal Hell. They have decided to accept the view that in the end all will end up chosen of God to Salvation! That doctrine is usually called “Universalism.”

Now they would never want to deny Total Depravity and Luther’s “Bondage of the Human Will” because that gives them the excuse to live in their sins and pass the buck to God for them. This was the reason Luther created his “Bondage of the Will” and it’s the reason Francis has bought into the doctrine. Francis however does not have a completely Universal Salvation, he clearly wants to leave room for the damnation of the “ridged” and the resisters of his new toleration of human sin. That’s a reference to the same group of Catholics who are voting for Donald Trump, the Deplorables, the Irredeemables.

Error and Truth: FP and the Lutherans

+AM+DG+

On 31st Oct, 2016, the FP/(pf) signed a declaration with the Lutherans. Some excerpts:

“we are profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts received through the Reformation”.

“Many members of our communities yearn to receive the Eucharist at one table, as the concrete expression of full unity.” And “we seek to remove the remaining obstacles that hinder us from attaining full unity”

“With this Joint Statement, we express joyful gratitude to God for this moment of common prayer in the Cathedral of Lund, as we begin the year commemorating the five hundredth anniversary of the Reformation. “

“Fifty years of sustained and fruitful ecumenical dialogue between Catholics and Lutherans have helped us to overcome many differences, and have deepened our mutual understanding and trust”

“Theological differences were accompanied by prejudice and conflicts, and religion was instrumentalized for political ends”

“Lutherans and Catholics have wounded the visible unity of the Church.”

This and other of fp’s speeches can be found on Vatican Radio and also at : http://biblefalseprophet.com

David Webster is a Catholic convert and former Baptist pastor.

His website is : saveourchurch.org

He commented on some of FP’s statements and Lutheran doctrine/teachings: 

(on 3 Nov. 2016)

The call for Christian unity is not only needed but it is an urgent matter as has been presented but the view that somehow “we closed in on ourselves out of fear or bias with regard to the faith which others profess with a different accent and language” is utter nonsense.

The “Reformation” of Luther was no mere difference in accent or language! Luther’s profession was a contradiction to the faith!

And are we to even believe that the Reformation helped give greater centrality to sacred Scripture in the Church’s life? What contribution could Luther and the “reformers” have given us in making the Sacred Scriptures central in the Church who denigrated, denied and then stripped the Scriptures of seven of its books?

Had Luther had his way The Revelation to St. John and the Letter of St. James would have also been discarded! The alleged supreme respect for Scripture by the Reformers is merely a cleverly devised myth and its proven even by its wilful ignoring of Catholic teaching within the remnant of Scripture they have left.

What could not be ignored had to be mistranslated. This includes the mis-translation of Acts 10:22 because it denied the Reformed doctrine of total depravity. (See separate post on total Depravity)

 

Francis signed Statement: “we are profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts received through the Reformation”  on 2 Nov. 2026

If Francis is “profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts” why does he not list even just one of them? No, he cannot because there are none!

If he dared to rise the straw man issue of Luther exposing the so called “selling of indulgences” he not only would be shot down but it would be turned on him for the hypocrisy that this charge actually was. The abuse of giving for divine favor first of all is always on the part of the giver who has an unholy spirit and motive. Second, it was Luther who gained the support of the German princes for his rebellion and heretical Church over which he made himself pope by promising them the riches he robbed from the Catholic Church in Germany! I do not think Francis is ready to call outright theft and bribery a spiritual gift –quite yet.

And what are these “many differences” that “have been overcome,” in the 50 years of ecumenical dialog?

Finally Mr. Fraudcis, we do NOT ”cast off any “remaining disagreements,” we resolve them with an understanding of and surrender to the Truth! We do not believe Truth changes. We do not worship the “Christ” who changes, the false Christ, the false Light, the god of your favorite Theologian Cardinal Kasper. His theology is not serene as you have publicly claimed but is utterly diabolical, patently and literally Luciferian. Birds of a feather flock together.

 

Lutheran Intercommunion is Impossible!

6 Reasons Why Lutheran Intercommunion Isn’t Possible

From: http://www.onepeterfive.com/6-reasons-why-lutheran-intercommunion-isnt-possible/

Father Brian Harrison, O.S. November 1, 2016

The joint proposal to work towards shared Eucharistic communion, signed yesterday in Lund, Sweden, by Pope Francis and the President of the Lutheran World Federation (whose member churches, by the way, generally support abortion and same-sex “marriage”), is extremely troubling. For the following facts must be remembered:

1) Lutherans do not believe in the Sacrifice of the Mass (which Luther himself constantly and virulently execrated as a diabolical abomination). This disbelief is condemned infallibly with anathema by  the Council of Trent (DS 1751-1759 = Dz 948-956) – a judgment solemnly confirmed by Pope Paul VI in his 1968 Credo of the People of God (“Solemn Profession of Faith”).

2) Nor do Lutherans believe in the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. This denial is also solemnly anathematized by Trent (DS 1652 = Dz 884). Again, Paul VI solemnly confirms this point of our Faith in his 1965 Encyclical Mysterium Fidei and in the 1968 ‘Credo’.

3) They believe the Body and Blood of Christ become present in what remains bread and wine, but that this type of presence in any case ceases as soon as the distribution of Communion is over. Condemned with anathema by Trent (DS 1654 = Dz 886), and also again by Paul VI in MF and  the 1968 ‘Credo’.

4) Following logically from the above, Lutherans reject the reservation of the remaining Hosts in the tabernacle after Mass. Condemned with anathema by Trent (DS 1657 = Dz 889), and also again by Paul VI in MF and  the 1968 ‘Credo’.

5) With equal consistency, Lutherans reject Eucharistic adoration outside of Mass and Eucharistic processions. Condemned with anathema by Trent (DS 1656 = Dz 888), and also again by Paul VI in the aforesaid documents.

With at least five anathemas against Lutheran heresies regarding the Eucharist, there is no condemnation by the Council of Trent of the idea ofintercommunion with these separated brethren. But that’s simply because the idea would have been considered so utterly outlandish and totally unthinkable at that time that in fact, well, . . . nobody on either side did even think of it, as far as we know – much less propose it.

Nevertheless, intercommunion with Lutherans (and other Protestants) is indeed strictly prohibited by the present Code of Canon Law. In a ruling which is clearly linked inseparably to divine law about the importance of receiving the Body of Christ worthily (cf. I Cor. 11: 27-30), canon 844 #4 rules that not even in danger of death may any non-Catholic Christian be given Holy Communion unless he/she “demonstrates the Catholic faith in respect of [this Sacrament]”.

Pope Francis’ words and actions yesterday in Sweden therefore raise extremely grave questions. To me they are beyond comprehension. How can they escape the charge of constituting a betrayal of our faith in the central mystery of Catholic worship?

 

The Catechism says it all!!!

Fr Hunwicke on 12th October, 2016 posted an article on his blogsite “Newman and Liberalism and the Spirit of the Antichrist”. One blogger posted a comment with a quote from the CCC. I have included the quote from the CCC below. See the full article at http://liturgicalnotes.blogspot.com.au/

Truth:

CCC 157: “Faith is certain. It is more certain than all human knowledge because it is founded on the very word of God who cannot lie. To be sure, revealed truths can seem obscure to human reason and experience, but “the certainty that the divine light gives is greater than that which the light of natural reason gives.“[31 St. Thomas Aquinas, STh II-II 171, 5, obj. 3.] “Ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt.”[32 John Henry Cardinal Newman, Apologia pro vita sua (London Longman, 1878) 239.]

CCC 158: “Faith seeks understanding”:[33 St. Anselm, Prosl. prooem. PL 153 225A.] it is intrinsic to faith that a believer desires to know better the One in whom he has put his faith, and to understand better what He has revealed; a more penetrating knowledge will in turn call forth a greater faith, increasingly set afire by love. The grace of faith opens “the eyes of your hearts”[34 Eph 1:18.] to a lively understanding of the contents of Revelation: that is, of the totality of God’s plan and the mysteries of faith, of their connection with each other and with Christ, the centre of the revealed mystery. “The same Holy Spirit constantly perfects faith by his gifts, so that Revelation may be more and more profoundly understood.”[35 Dei Verbum] In the words of St. Augustine, “I believe, in order to understand; and I understand, the better to believe.”[36 St. Augustine, Sermo 43, 7, 9: PL 38, 257-258.]

Errors of the papacy:

“Amoris Laetitiae” – Communion for divorced and remarried;

Communion for practising homosexuals which “In the spirit of the synod” is being propounded and, in some cases, practised by some clergy; some homosexual couples have even had ‘blessings’ by sympathetic priests;

Encyclicals (Laudato Si) which is all about the environment and God is not mentioned; A Light show on the Vatican buildings that, besides the environment, showed pagan gods;

Holy Thursday foot washing ceremonies which do not honour Jesus washing the feet of His first bishops;

Monthly “prayer intentions” videos that are not prayer intentions at all – they sound more like election policies; they talk of how ‘sport’ can fix all the problems (not God, mind you).

A pope who pokes fun at Traditional Catholics: the “Rosary counters”; “those who breed like rabbits”;

… ad infinitum

Is the Pope Catholic???

It’s all in the Catechism!!!

The CCC157 and CCC158 (see above)   quotes Cardinal Newman and St Augustine and explains how true Faith builds one’s understanding of God’s law:

If “ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt”, what does this say about all the modernist cardinals, bishops and priests, (including the man who sits in the chair of Peter), who think we have to adapt God’s laws –  for the divorced and remarried who want to receive Holy Communion without repentance/ Confession ?

The answer is simple: it seems they don’t have enough Faith, or perhaps they don’t have any true Faith, because if they did, they would know that God is God and “the certainty that the divine light gives is greater than that which the light of natural reason gives”. They need to have a deeper and fuller understanding, and if they lack this, they need to pray for it instead of wanting to just please themselves: “a more penetrating knowledge will in turn call forth a greater faith.”

It’s all in the Catechism, and in the writings of the saints. There is no excuse!

They are supposedly educated in the priesthood – they should know better, and they should be teaching us from the pulpit about these Truths and God’s Law. That’s their job.  The few faithful (priests and laity) are fighting a tidal wave of apostasy from the Truth. Many “good Catholics” are being dragged along in the rip and will perish.

 “… But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?”  (Luke 18:8)(Douay Rheims Bible)

What can we do?

*“Stay faithful” and fight like you have never fought before!

(*Cardinal Burke’s advice.)
