Archbishop Vigano: “''pastoralism' of synodal officials is a hypocritical rhetorical pretense."

Archbishop Vigano responded to the SSPX letter to Cardinal Fernandez outing him for hypocrisy. Really! 

Hypocrisy at the Vatican? Can you believe it? Or has that become the default position of many of our spiritual fathers? I personally wonder how many of the magisterium actually believe what the Church has taught for millennia. If they do, how can they abandon it so completely that they are ready to canonize a man I can only describe as a sexual predator, Bishop Alejandro Lbaka. What else can one call a priest who cavorted nude with young men and let them touch his genitals and bring about arousal? Is he going to be the patron of all the clergy sex predators who brought such scandal on the Church? Will his canonization be used to justify nudity and sexual play as natural?

Cognitive Dissonance: Pope Francis is Trying to Impose it on the Church!

Francis imposes cognitive dissonance on the flock by abusing his authority!
Blind obedience is no virtue. Know what true obedience demands. 

Most people have heard of the psychological term, "cognitive dissonance."

What is it?

Here's a concise definition: "psychological conflict resulting from incongruous beliefs and attitudes held simultaneously."

DESIDERIO DESIDERAVI: On Baptism -- Beautiful Words

In my previous post on Desiderio Desideravi, the pope's latest missive, I described the cognitive dissonance of his work. He often says good things but, as my mom always said, "Actions speak louder than words." Sad to say, this pope's actions often directly oppose his words, which throws the faithful into confusion. Do I listen to the pope? He said abortion is bad and then honored an Italian abortionist? He talks about the value of life, but turned the Vatican Pontifical Academy for Life into a group harboring radical pro-abortion and pro-euthanasia advocates. What gives?

Well...as I've said before, Francis speaks with a forked tongue. The examples that illustrate it could fill an encyclopedia. 

When one sees grey clouds forming and hears thunder, he knows what's coming. The Francis Effect of cognitive dissonance blows the warning trumpet. You cannot trust this man; he uses the truth to advance the lie. That, friends is the classic modus operandi of evil. Administer the poison by disguising it in honey. "For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil." (Prov 5:3) That proverb could just as easily be used to describe "adultery" (idolatry) against God who brooks no strange gods before Him.
