"L'Église, C'est Moi"

Pope Francis to Slovak Jesuits: "There is a large Catholic television channel that has no hesitation in continually speaking ill of the pope. I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, but the Church does not deserve them. They are the work of the devil." https://t.co/F3nQ9oDb5M

If the patriarchate of Rome is hurt or offended or "scandalized," it is because of their adherence to erroneous Latin ecclesiology.

“I hope that with the decision to stop the automatism of the ancient rite we can return to the true intentions of Benedict XVI & John Paul II…But there are young people who one month after ordination go to the bishop to ask for it. This phenomenon indicates we’re going backward” https://t.co/iIRqrzHFbP

Latin Obeisance

“Since Pope Francis issued Traditionis custodes, I have been grieved by certain disrespectful responses; some have even included slanderous attacks on the Pontiff..."

In the Reign of Francis, Ultramontanism Is Alive and Well

Such slavishness and idolatry, if limited to the individual, wouldn't be my problem. But they pride themselves on thinking them more "orthodox" than you.

The Solution to Latin Legalism

is not the modernist separation of caritas from veritas. To confuse Phariseeism with Tradition (i.e. the Divine Commandments) or authentic religion, is Bergoglio just so sloppy or is it deliberate?

Pope Francis on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul: “Paul was freed from the religious zeal that made him fierce in upholding the traditions he had received. The formal observation of religion and the sword wielding of defence of Tradition, made him rigid” pic.twitter.com/c1XNFrxWWt

Latin Ecclesiology is a Dead End

Conservative Catholics are in a ghastly situation. Confronted by a malicious pope and pro-abortion Biden loyalists, they’re being offered Integralist sectarian fantasies or Vigano Mark of the Beast paranoia. I despair.

"Muh Vatican I"

Has the sin of scandal been committed? Heterodoxy?

The letter, handwritten in Spanish, was a note of thanks for pictures Fr. Martin had sent to the pope, and was first reported in Italian by Vatican News before being shared by Fr. Martin on his Twitter account. https://t.co/oaNtdtwdtA

Today, in proximity to the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, I ask you to pray for the Pope. Pray in a special way: the Pope needs your prayers!

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) June 27, 2021

I consider myself to understand better than most the financial scandals plaguing the Vatican in recent years.

I still give to Peter’s Pence.

The mission of the Holy Father, the work of the Curia, and the pope’s charitable priorities all have legitimate claims to my support.

So Simple-Minded Bergoglio Must Have Written It

So much for accompaniment. What about those who who are suffering because of true evils? Are they "bad" Christians because they do not feel or express joy? Such advice is more damaging than helpful, and really cannot be given in such an universal manner.

The Paraclete is telling the Church that today is the time for comforting. It is more the time for joyfully proclaiming the Gospel than for combatting paganism. It is the time for bringing the joy of the Risen Lord, not for lamenting the drama of secularization.

Naive

We may be part of one human family, descended from Adam, but we are divided not only through sin but by differences in lineage, language, and culture, which do matter.

Benedict XV in 1917 admonished that we retire the word #race from our vocabulary, because we are all part of one #humanfamily. #CatholicHistory pic.twitter.com/EgGbAkGawT
