Swiss bishop: It is a ‘scandal’ that the Pope ‘defends those rituals inside the Vatican Gardens’ https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/...ends-those-rituals-inside-the-vatican-gardens An excerpt: "Father Frank Unterhalt, Archdiocese of Paderborn (Germany): The Triune God may be adorated! “They have no knowledge those who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save. There is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is no one besides me” (Isaiah 45: 20-21). The current actions in the Vatican with the display of the Pachamama statues seem to be a continuation of the heretical document of Abu Dhabi. Saying therefore that the pluralistic diversity of religions is in accordance with God's will means identifying oneself as false prophet." +
Bishop or pope, he is anathema. Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. I believe that Benedict is still the true Pope. I think that God allowed the false prophet to be widely acknowledged as pope, only while we have a true pope alive and reigning through his validly conferred Office, although in such a way that he cannot exercise his Ministry. May God restore His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church soon and may the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary happen already! +
The Ten Commandments have been, I am beginning to conclude, systematically attacked by this papacy: 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods Multiple examples of Liberation Theology, that hammer and sickle thing accepted from the Bolivian president and the legitimisation of Chinese Communism as co-appointers of bishops. I'm confident you could all provide many more examples 9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife More or less encouraged by AL 8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour Taylor Marshall's recently finding his wikipaedia entry altered in order to calumnify him. The insulting of the common faithful as 'rigid'. 7. Thou shalt not steal The continuing financial scandals in the Vatican. The misrepresentation of the missions as the evangelisation that it most certainly isn't, misspending the donations of the faithful (many of these things didn't start with the present pontificate, but this one seems to be eager to bring the process to completion). 6. Thou shalt not commit adultery See 9. 5. Thou shalt not kill Bonino. This involves a double attack. The most accurate translation for this commandment is "Thou shalt not murder". Bergoglio has attempted to abolish the legitimate right of proper political authority to carry out capital punishment, contradicting a teaching that goes right back to the beginning of the Church. The inversion means that it is 'heroic' to murder unborn babies with a bicycle pump, but wrong to inflict appropriate punishment on, for example, a monstrous serial-killer/rapist. 4. Honour thy Father and Mother Encapsulated in the elimination of and disdain for the traditions handed down to us. 3. Remember to keep holy the sabbath day The continuing dilution of the liturgy. The passive acceptance of modern commercial realities, with Sundays and Holy Days being treated as normal working days. 2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain This is very broad. It's not about 'swearing', more about using the Holy Ghost ( I prefer it to Holy Spirit) as a rationale for every deviation from doctrine. The usage of Jesus as the name of a nice friend, lacking any fear of The Lord who will deem us sheep or goat. 1. I am The Lord, thy God, thou shalt not have any strange Gods before me Self-explanatory. Our final destination, this month. Even the most extreme spirit of VII activists never seriously tried this on. Additionally, this synod also represents an attack on the family. The Church is the Bride of Christ, with the priest representing the Bridegroom. That is why the priest must be male. Deaconesses represent a foot in the door of false priestesses. It also lets in the James Martin crowd, because it is basically preternatural same-sex marriage, between a woman and the Bride. Perhaps the abomination of desolation. When one examines it, it certainly looks like an antichurch being methodically assembled. Everything seems to be inverted. All is being changed to its opposite. May the Lord God have mercy on us all.
I have just found an interesting connection between Patchamama and Pope Francis' friend, President Morales of Bolivia. Https://natureneedshalf.org/2018/05/promise-to-pachamama/ Pachamama has been chosen as the idol of the Marxist co-workers of the "Communitarian" political movement led by the likes of Evo Morales. Am I right in remembering that Conchita of Garabandal said that Communism would come again?
No Pachamamas on view at the Synod closing Mass (but a weird plant was on prominent display). According to Damian Thompson, there was resistance (Deo Gratias) https://www.barnhardt.biz/2019/10/2...is-plant-was-offered-and-placed-on-the-altar/ It sounds like a group of Cardinals stood up to Antipope Bergoglio. Via GloriaTV, quoting Damian Thompson: “Thompson further learned that “many bishops, including some cardinals, will not feel able to attend the Synod’s closing Mass if the [Pachamama] statues are on display.”
Will they say we are racist if we object to the syncretism creeping into our local parishes? Probably. There is a day of the dead altar set up in the back of my church. Yesterday when I went in to change the candle above the tabernacle, the flame died out just as I was putting it in the holder near Our LORD. Probably just a coincidence, but it made me wonder if the LORD had fled the place. How sad that the owner of Spirit Daily uses the headlines to editorialize. Whenever Cardinal Burke makes a statement about the ongoing scandals of the papacy it is always described as an 'attack'. Whenever Catholics react negatively to the scandals of the papacy, they are making a 'hulabaloo' about it or they are causing an 'uproar' This guy who has penned dozens of books about prophecy and has made enough $$$ to retire in FL with a swimming pool and has gone all over the world on pilgrimages is lecturing readers whose hearts are broken and confused about the events of this papacy. What will his readers do at the time when they have to decide if they should stay at one parish or try to find a parish that is obedient to the Faith that was handed down to us by prophets, martyrs, and saints?
Good to hear some cardinals and bishops stepped up to the plate! Weird about the plant though. Perhaps it was standing in for Mother Earth.
Looks like there are 2 different plants in that bowl. One looks very much like a Christmas cactus in bloom. Also, the bowl has “Amazon” written on it with some other symbols if you look closely.
Are you sure these are God´s commandments? Was it recorded? Are you sure they didn´t just apply to those backward people in Moses´times and not to our enlightened times? Anyway, they´ve been modernized and simplified now:
George Neumayr wrote a very strong piece today. The Post-Christian Pope and the Pacha Idols Francis gives the finger to Catholics again by fishing Amazon idols out of the Tiber. by George Neumayr | October 27, 2019, 12:01 AM | https://spectator.org/the-post-christian-pope-and-the-pacha-idols/#.XbWOteABjuY.twitter I have lost track of the number of times Pope Francis has given the finger to orthodox Catholics — from telling the parents of large families that they needn’t behave like “rabbits” to mocking an altar boy for holding his hands together piously (He joked to the bewildered boy, “Are they stuck together?”) to calling priests who adhere to tradition “neurotics.” In Jorge Bergoglio, the world has witnessed its first post-Christian pope — a UN-style religious relativist who loves every religion except his own. The baldly heretical Pan-Amazon Synod — its chief organizers favor woman priests, the abolition of priestly celibacy, and LGBT rights, among other stances — is itself a raised middle finger to Catholics. Day after day during the synod, the faith has taken a battering, as clerics lecture Catholics on the virtues of syncretism, a mindless multiculturalism that extols Amazonian woman who breastfeed animals, and now even flat-out paganism. In his latest outrage, Pope Francis has had the police fish out of the Tiber the Pacha idols an anonymous Catholic removed from a church near St. Peter’s Square and threw into the river. The writers at the Onion must be scratching their heads over how to satirize this one. Their fake headlines can’t beat the real ones, such as: “Pope Francis asks for forgiveness after Amazon statues stolen, thrown into river.” His apology was of the most craven PC sort: “As a bishop of the diocese, I ask forgiveness from the persons who were offended by this.” The post-Christian pope is rapidly making Rome pagan again. One wonders if his apologies will extend to the descendants of the ancient Romans who worshipped gods and goddesses. Perhaps Francis will order that the pagan temples turned into churches in Rome revert to their original form. After all, if a nature goddess like Pachamama deserves Catholic “respect,” as Bergoglio insists, surely Zeus and Minerva deserve a fresh nod too. Under a post-Christian pope, the Vatican has lost both its mind and soul and thus has neither the rationality nor the faith to distinguish between good and bad in culture or religion. The relativism implicit in the refusal to make judgments about culture and the willy-nilly blending of religions is like an acid that burns through everything it touches; the Church has shriveled in proportion to its exposure to it. Unwilling to stand for anything, relativists prostrate themselves before everything, including Amazonian paganism. What is presented to us as “cultural respect” is in fact contempt for culture — the careless condescension of liberals who reduce everything from the Pieta to Pachamama to the same meaningless level. Forbidden to make judgments about Amazonian culture, multiculturalists must treat everything in it as the same, which means they never truly appreciate what’s good in it. Only a dilettantish modern Jesuit like Francis would have the gall to present this synod, which is a monumental act of manipulation and condescension, as a blow against “Western colonialism.” In truth, it is simply a new and far sicker form of it: the cross has been replaced by the blue flag of the UN. In its shadow, an alliance of UN creeps and heretical Vatican officials will let the Amazonians play with their little Pacha idols as long as they give up their political power to Brave New World bureaucrats. The last thing they want is for Amazonians to order their own affairs. And unlike the Catholic missionaries of old, the new colonialists of the UN seek not to liberate primitives from perversions like infanticide but to introduce them to new ones — Planned Parenthood sex ed programs, gender-neutral bathrooms, abortion on demand, eugenics, euthanasia, ubiquitous porn, and countless other modern forms of degradation. This synod is not about holiness but power — an attempt by the United Nations and the Vatican to carve out of Latin America a region they can micromanage according to their totalitarian predilections. And for a post-Christian pope, the synod has the added bonus of serving as a pretext for disciplinary and theological tinkering, as well as sealing the syncretistic direction of the Church since Vatican II. In the name of helping Amazonians, he is simply using them as an excuse to dilute doctrine, weaken discipline, and politicize the Church. A couple weeks ago, the controversy at the Vatican was that the pope had told his favorite interviewer he didn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ on Earth. (The pope still hasn’t personally and directly denied that account.) Now the controversy is that he is bringing pagan idols back to St. Peter’s Square, whose namesake was crucified for refusing to bow before Roman ones. But all these controversies are really just the same one — the staggering scandal of a post-Christian pope. *** This gives some hope. *** AED, It was thought to reach its culmination on September 23, 2017 which you know is the feast day of St. Padre Pio. Yes, Father Heilman thought it was very significant also and many others too including many here on the forum besides myself.
I know nothing of 'Spirit Daily', but we both know that not all spirits are benign, daily or otherwise. I searched for it and the second result on google describes the site as providing 'daily spiritual news from around the world'. I think it wiser to counter the usual trend and describe oneself as 'religious but not spiritual'. The world is full of spirits of the 'power of the air', Pachamama being one of them.
