Yesterday I read Archbishop Vigano's letter to the pope. Like he did with the SSPX, Leo dissed the archbishop first agreeing to a private meeting and then changing his mind and refusing. Hmm...first thing I thought of was "Say yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no."
It's interesting to see whom Leo is willing to meet: the faux archbishop of Canterbury, homo-sympatico clergy like James Martin, the schismatic patriarch of the Eastern Church, pro-abort celebrities like Robert De Niro, etc. ad nauseum. The Vatican these days offers numerous photo ops for those who hate the Church and champion sins that cry to heaven for vengeance. The only ones who get the shaft are those who refuse to abandon the faith of our fathers. You know the "faith of our fathers, holy faith"....the one we promise "we will be true to thee til death." Well, some of us will anyway.
Here's Archbishop Vigano's introduction to his letter saying he is not schismatic:
A few weeks ago, I made public the events surrounding my request to meet with Leo – specifically, his initial acceptance, his sudden rescission, and then his definitive cancellation. While a Catholic Archbishop was deemed unworthy of being received in Audience, an abortionist and heterodox figure – in the guise of an Anglican “Archbishop” – merited not only the full honors of Vatican protocol but was even permitted to engage in “communicatio in sacris” with Leo and other Prelates, going so far as to impart a “blessing” within the shrine of the Prince of the Apostles. This serves only as further proof of the double standard applied by the proponents of the “synodal church.” I do not believe it is necessary to dwell on this with further commentary ... After long months of silence, the time has come to make known the contents of my letter to Leo of January 25th of this year, thereby establishing a documentary record of the matter.
In many ways the information revealed by the archbishop illustrates a sad and shameful period in the Church, one where the vindictiveness of popes is shocking. Pope Francis, especially, showed an almost diabolical cruelty toward those he considered enemies:
In 2016, exactly on my seventy-fifth birthday, Bergoglio ordered me to leave the Nunciature in Washington and forbade me from returning to the Vatican, where John Paul II had permanently assigned me an apartment; he also forbade me from residing in the Roman residence for retired Nuncios that was specially prepared by Pope Benedict. Before his death, Bergoglio also had my Vatican citizenship and passport revoked; he prevented me from accessing the healthcare services provided to members of the Diplomatic Service, even though I had always regularly paid my contributions; and he ordered that my car be removed from the Vatican Vehicle Registry and prevented the renewal of my Vatican driver’s license, which I had held continuously since 1973, causing me serious difficulties and effectively condemning me to house arrest.
In August 2018 I published the explosive memorandum about Theodore McCarrick and the extensive network of corruption and complicity within the Roman Curia, which directly involved Jorge Mario Bergoglio himself. Subsequently, I lived for several years in secret locations, as Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke advised me to do, given the threats I received and the fact that my immediate predecessor in Washington, Nuncio Pietro Sambi, had died under very suspicious circumstances after having had heated confrontations with then-Cardinal McCarrick when informing him of the measures taken by Benedict XVI to counter his crimes as a serial abuser.
Read the complete letter and consider Pope Leo's latest condemnation of the SSPX. He calls them schismatic, but who really is separating from the Church of the apostles and martyrs?
Bishop Athanasius Schneider has stated on several occasions that the excommunications planned over the consecration of the bishops on July 1st would be invalid. In his words, “To excommunicate those who profess this faith and repeatedly express that they recognize the Pope and want to serve the Roman Church would be unjust.”
Does injustice from the Vatican surprise us these days?
Please, dear faithful Catholics, pray for the pope, the magisterium, and the poor, abandoned flock in the pews. God has allowed all this for His purpose, perhaps the cleansing of a Church submerged in filth. Injustice and suffering embraced in humility can be the cleaning agent that brings about change. Let us pray unceasingly for that.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Bergoglio's ugly temperament was known. Anger, screaming, vulgarity, vengence and retribution, his papacy was a mockery of the office. Theyll try ro beatify that rogue.Take that one example of teeating Apb Vigano thus. It is ahamefylful to see neither neither xoergy, pundits, nor lay Catholics care their "pope" betrays the office, abandons the office, with flagrant abuse of an archbishop who has served well over decades. It demonstrates a vicious nature and siabolical spirit of hate and retribution. But Catholic Inc carries on even seeing the same spirit alive in Robert Prevost. Theres been no mercy shown Catholics from him.
ReplyDeleteYoung seminarians, learn well, you need to have financial plans ready for the day you defend the faith and they cut you out and off without a shred of remorse. Go against the regime at your own risk. I cant even pray for young men to go into this.
Did Prevost ask DeNiro for his autograph? Asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh. Nice to have something about Rome that's amusing instead of horrifying.

ReplyDeleteOne more reason to dislike Lincoln. He illustrated the anti-Catholic disposition of so many Protestants of the time. When you consider the seances being conducted at the White House, I'd say there was plenty of diabolical influence there.

[26] The fairies are not to be seized on and brought to answer for the hurt they do. So also, the ecclesiastics vanish away from the tribunals of civil justice.
[27] The ecclesiastics take from young men the use of reason, by certain charms compounded of metaphysics, and miracles, and traditions, and abused Scripture, whereby they are good for nothing else but to execute what they command them. The fairies likewise are said to take young children out of their cradles, and to change them into natural fools, which common people do therefore call elves, and are apt to mischief.
[28] In what shop or operatory the fairies make their enchantment, the old wives have not determined. But the operatories of the clergy are well enough known to be the universities, that received their discipline from authority pontifical.
[29] When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.
[30] The fairies marry not; but there be amongst them incubi that have copulation with flesh and blood. The priests also marry not.

Hobbes wasn't exactly a fan of the church neither Anglican nor Catholic. He believed religion should be subject to the state rather than vice versa. I'd say with his political philosophy he came close to being anti-Catholic and anti any religion that recognized Church authority which he saw as undermining the state.
DeleteThe reason the pope cacelled the meeting with Archbishop Vigano is because the dark hates the light.
