Pope Francis: The Gaslighting Pope Attacking the Church

 This post follows on from the last one really, prompted by this:

When you have a Pope who ignores problems, promotes abusers, pushes problematic ideas which are at odds with the faith, AND THEN BLAMES TRADS FOR CAUSING DIVISION, you know you have serious, serious problems. 

These comments are utterly indefensible, especially in the context of a huge push from progressive commentators and outlets to say the pope promotes homosexuality:

In fact, if you read the Pope's comments, they are (for once) uncontroversial: a "nothing burger" and all the spin is what's making the noise, demonstrating once again that there are people who are perfectly prepared to manipulate the reality to suit their agenda. Both to portray the Catholic Church as somehow at odds with groups of people and to use the pope to further their particular agendas, regardless of how said agendas fit with the saving message of the Gospel.

The Pope's attack on Traditional Catholics is analysed by Robert Nugent in Ireland in this video:

This can be nothing but gaslighting from the pope who engages in all manner of divisive activity in his office: an office the function of which he seems to have no idea about. What creates division? Caring about the Church, putting your faith at the centre of your life and wanting to worship Jesus Christ in the most authentic and beautiful way you can, or this:


When you have Cardinals literally publicly claiming Church teaching is wrong and silence from the Chair of Saint Peter, I think it is perfectly reasonable to consider the Pope's constant attacks on Traditional Catholics constitute a complete misunderstanding of the reality of the Church. How can he throw around accusations of divisiveness at those who simply seek Catholicism?

Pope Francis is beyond parody. His narrative is one of pure ignorance, his supporters can only seek the promotion of their own agenda or perhaps promotion.

This papacy has become utterly risible and the rhetoric of the man at the top is nothing short of a joke.

    I don't disagree with what Mr. Nugent is saying. But we are so far beyond dialogue with this pope, if he is pope. We are just so far beyond that.
    He is an enemy of the faith. He despises faithful Catholics. He has made that clear from the minute he stepped out on the loggia. Don't feel badly, don't let it hurt your feelings, nothing this man says should do that.
    He hates God. He has made that clear as well. Have you seen the man kneel to Communists and kiss their shoes? Yes, to their embarrassment, you have. Have you seen him kneel to wash the feet of prisoners, muslims, and the homeless? Yes, you have.
    But have you seen him kneel to Our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist? No. You have not. And look at his expression when he must raise the Host, his expression could curdle milk. Pure hatred.
    We are way past dialogue, and should be way past hurt from anything he can say. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me 10,492 times, I'm a dummy and can't face reality. Keep the Latin Rite, cling to it with everything you've got, don't support this infested church, support faithful priests with gift cards. Keep the faith, pray, live your Catholic life. But don't pay any heed to Francis the Destroyer or his minions.

    The first mistake everyone is making is calling him “Pope”.
    He is an anti anti-Pope.

The Problem is the Bishops - Dr Janet Smith.

  Dr Janet Smith is a true gift to the Church. She is an American classicist and philosopher, and former professor of moral theology at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan. She is now retired and works helping victims of the sex abuse crisis where she does amazing work. It's my great pleasure to count her among my friends and I can assure you she loves Jesus and His Church with an incredible depth and honesty. She is wonderful company especially in that she is as sharp as a tack but also extremely warm and funny. This is a talk she gave recently at the Coalition for Cancelled Priests Conference at the end of June in Chicago. It's a must listen talk if you want to know the painful reality of the corruption in the Catholic hierarchy, corruption of all kinds, sexual, financial and spiritual/ theological. Having defended the Church during the paedophile crisis she was devastated when, after the Dallas Charter, the McCarrick scandal broke. She addresses the critici

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

Image
This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind

New Head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

Image
I can hardly bring myself to write about yesterday's announcement that Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández to be the new head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith replacing Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. (now 79) who was previously the secretary to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller. Fernández is certainly one of the Pope's men, his whole career has been crafted and guided by Jorge Bergoglio. He headed the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (CUA) and then on December 15, 2009, the then Cardinal Bergoglio appointed Fernandez as rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. However, much to the frustration of Cardinal Bergoglio, Fernandez was not able to take the oath of office until May 20, 2011, after he had answered objections to his appointment raised by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which assessed concerns about the orthodoxy of certain elements of his scholarship
