    Has anyone noticed anything about this recent trip? Silence from the press on the Pope's plane? I suddenly realized how quiet it was, nothing from the press? Very smart Pope...

    I don't like to be negative and so I try not to comment too much on Pope Leo. Critque on him can become obssesive and and a kind of thing. But from time to time I suppose it does no harm to take a quick look.

    If we step back a little we know right from the beginning that there are two Churches. The one true Church Founded by Christ and the False Church , the Ape of the Church that exists right alongside it and mimics the true Church. This false Church Looks exactly like the real one alongside it it has its false Cardinals , Bishops, priests and layfolk who look from the outside exactly like the real deal but are actually part of the false Church. Of much deeper concern is that in recent times we have had , perhaps for the very first time two Popes who are part of this False Church. Recently Papa Frankie and currently Pope Leo who I would argue is far, far more dangerous than Papa Frankie ever was.

    One recent sign of this was the statement given to the Italian press by the despicable Cardinal Fernandez and in which he said that all that Leo is doing is a continuation of Papa Frankies abominations. I do not trust Fernandez but he is telling the truth in this. If he was lying kissing Fernandez would not still be in his job. That total abomination of Synod and Synodality is still in place and none of the wickedness that Frankie perpetuated is still in place. #

    I strongly suspect that this present tour of Africa is all about the Africans kicking up about sodomite blessings and trying to inviegle Africans to go along with the False Church.

    I think Pope Leo is part of a vast diabolical deception and puts a good face on great wickedness.

    Even his recent condemnations of the Iran War is two edged. It is not a simple matter of seeking Peace it is part of a hidden agenda,

    Fernández defends Francisco's legacy: "Saying that León wants to cancel it is dishonest"

    At the gates of the first anniversary of the death of Pope Francis, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, has come out to firmly defend the continuity of his legacy against those who point to a change of course with Leo XIV. In an interview granted to Il Giornale, the cardinal has stated without nuances that “to say that Pope Leo wants to cancel what was done in Francis’s pontificate is dishonest”.

    The Argentine cardinal, a key figure in the last pontificate and not without controversy in doctrinal spheres, insists that the current Pope not only does not distance himself from his predecessor, but actively promotes its reception.

    Leo XIV asks to reread Francis
    Tucho maintains that Leo XIV has given concrete indications in that line. “To us cardinals, before the consistory, he asked us to reread Evangelii gaudium and then invited us to reflect again on its application,” he explains. Likewise, he points out that the Pope has convened the presidents of the episcopal conferences “to resume the reception of Amoris laetitia”.

    In his view, these gestures demonstrate that “Francis is not underground,” a striking expression with which he intends to underscore the validity of his magisterium. However, he introduces a criticism of those who did not assume it: “For those who rejected each of his teachings or for those who received them only in appearance, his pontificate will have been only a bad interlude”.

    “Humble yourself and trust”: the personal memory of Francis
    In evoking his last encounters with the Argentine Pope, Fernández offers a testimony of markedly personal tone. “In one of the last audiences I had with him, when he could hardly speak anymore, he looked at me, smiled, and repeated a phrase to me: ‘Humble yourself and trust’,” he recounts.

    As he explains, the meaning of those words was clear: “To renounce every form of pride and to have gestures of humility, because in that way God can do a great work through one’s own person”.

    Continuity or tension: the background of the debate
    The prefect insists that there is no break between pontificates, but complementarity: “Between Leo and Francis there are many points in common; more than opposition, one should see complementarity”.

    However, his own words reflect that the debate remains open within the Church, especially on sensitive issues of the recent magisterium. Fernández claims, for example, “his insistence on speaking with the heart of the Gospel, as an announcement of infinite love,” as well as the application of the so-called hierarchy of truths to all preaching.

    He also defends the condemnation of the death penalty promoted by Francis, noting that “even today, unfortunately, the most traditionalist groups resist”.

    No new assignments from Leo XIV to the Dicastery
    One of the most striking points of the interview is the reference to the current functioning of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Tucho assures that the Pope has not imposed new specific tasks: “The requests that come from the bishops and from other dicasteries are so many that the Holy Father tries not to add more commitments”.

    This statement contrasts with what happened in the previous pontificate. Under Francis, the dicastery received concrete assignments to prepare doctrinal documents, some of which are still pending publication. Among them, a text on the transmission of the faith, previously mentioned by officials of the organization itself, but on which the prefect now offers no update.

    The silence on this pending document is significant, especially at a time when Fernández himself recognizes that “today many do not reject the faith, but consider it unnecessary”.

    Parish life: a community of charisms and experiences
    In addressing how faith should be lived today in the concrete sphere of parishes, Fernández proposes a model that emphasizes the diversity of experiences. “A community full of charisms, where everyone experiences freedom and appreciation from others to make those gifts flourish with joy and hope,” he describes.

    According to the prefect, this type of community would allow generating “a communion full of richness, colors, and fascination,” in which each faithful finds their place. At the same time, he insists on the need to offer “diverse spaces for personal encounter with Christ,” emphasizing “diverse” because “sensitivities are different”.

    A crisis of faith marked by superficiality
    On the pastoral level, the prefect describes a worrying underlying situation: “We live in enormous distraction, an excess of noise from social networks and the world in general.” In his view, this dynamic leads to a superficial faith, more weakened by indifference than by frontal opposition.

    As a response, he proposes starting from human experience: “The experience that everyone has of dissatisfaction, emptiness, lack of meaning in life,” along with the desire for fraternity and openness to a personal relationship with Christ.

    However, his approach insists on a line that is already habitual: avoiding both immobility and rigid positions. “The effort must be made by all, conservatives and progressives, because in everyone there is the temptation to enclose themselves in their own schemes,” he concludes.

    I think a lot of the recent wishful thinking reminds me of a guy who has been told he has cancer. I heard of a lady whose Doctor told her she was going to die of cancer within three months. She became angry and shouted at him asking him why he had not told her this before? Exasperated the Doctor told her that this was the tenth time he had told her this. She was in denial.

    It is the same thing with Pope Leo. People want so much to believe he is the real deal that they cannot face the truth. That we have the most terrible cancer right at the very heart of the Church.

    That the Lion is not at the Gate. The Lion is inside the Church and once again perched on the Throne of Peter. The Vatican has Fallen indeed.

    But I won't go and on about it. What would be the point? We are dealing with a huge, huge Satanic evil and deception here. Believe it or believe it not.

    A lot of what is going on with the False Church reminds me of what is going on in my own Spiritual Life at the moment. Now I am older I keep getting dreams about events in my past life when I was very much younger. I had loads of contacts with the clergy. But I see a lot of the events in my life came from being in contact with members of this false Church. Of priests and others who appeared on the surface to be Catholic but were in fact members of this false Church. I had some sense of this in the past because when I talked to certain priests because they started to act like cats on red hot roofs. They could not bear to be even in my company. This praeternatural behaviour was a warning in itself. That there were demons present.

    The terrible persecution that people like Padre Pio endured from Cardinals in the Vatican on down was no accident. It was this false Church swinging into action. I wish I had understood this better back then.

    But I do now.

    I have reason to think the serpent is losing it's grip currently. I expect more to come out shortly.

    I. HE WILL COME AGAIN IN GLORY
    The Church's ultimate trial

    Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576
    574.
    Cf. Lk 18:8; Mt 24:12.
    575.
    Cf. Lk 21:12; Jn 15:19-20.
    576.
    Cf. 2 Thes 2:4-12; 1 Thes 5:2-3; 2 Jn 7; 1 Jn 2:18,22.

    676
    The Antichrist's deception already begins to take shape in the world every time the claim is made to realize within history that messianic hope which can only be realized beyond history through the eschatological judgment. The Church has rejected even modified forms of this falsification of the kingdom to come under the name of millenarianism,577 especially the "intrinsically perverse" political form of a secular messianism.578
    577.
    Cf. DS 3839.
    578.
    Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris, condemning the "false mysticism" of this "counterfeit of the redemption of the lowly"; cf. GS 20-21.

    The Church will enter the glory of the kingdom only through this final Passover, when she will follow her Lord in his death and Resurrection.579 The kingdom will be fulfilled, then, not by a historic triumph of the Church through a progressive ascendancy, but only by God's victory over the final unleashing of evil, which will cause his Bride to come down from heaven.580 God's triumph over the revolt of evil will take the form of the Last Judgment after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world.581
    579.
    Cf. Rev 19:1-9.
    580.
    Cf Rev 13:8; 20:7-10; 21:2-4.
    581.
    Cf. Rev 20:12 2 Pet 3:12-13.

    This interview is stunning. I am not surprised it is " blowing up" the internet. He is very courageous. He often says that Our Lady is with him so he is not afraid. But we must pray for him and all the brave priests who are speaking truth and exposing the enemy. I notice Ft R is starting to be publicly criticized on line. No surprise there.
