Pope Francis's "Silent Apostasy" & The Wanderer's Fake News

After Pope Francis wrote God wills "a diversity of religions" which infers the heresy of religious indifferentism in the "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living," Cardinal Gerhard Müller in his "Manifesto of Faith" said:

"The Church is the universal sacrament of salvation in Jesus Christ..."

"... To keep silent about these and other truths of the Faith... [is] 'the price of their apostasy' (CCC 675); it is the fraud of the Antichrist."

Cardinal Robert Sarah connected "religious indifference" and the "silent apostasy":

"This 'religious indifference' and 'silent apostasy'... [is] the major challenge the Church has to take up today."
(LifeSiteNews, "Vatican Cardinal warns of 'silent apostasy'; says Catholic charities must evangelize," 2011)

Pope John Paul II said that a "vision of man" which is "apart from Christ" or a kind of indifferentism to Christ part takes of the "impression of 'silent apostasy'":

[A]n attempt to promote a vision of man apart from God and apart from Christ... [in] European culture gives the impression of 'silent apostasy.'"
(Ecclesia in Europa No. 9, 2003)

Along this lines, in 319, Alexander of Alexandria in his Catholic Epistle wrote of the Arian heretic Bishop Eusebius and his collaborators:

In our diocese... adversaries of Christ, teaching men to apologize... the precursor  of Antichrist... who have become apostates."

Apparently, at the time Eusebius was a material heretic and in Alexander's words a material "apostate" because the Church hadn't formally condemned Bishop Eusebius.

In this same way, John Paul II, Sarah, Müller and I think Bishop René Henry Gracida are saying there is a "silent apostasy" which implies the material heresy of Francis, but not formal heresy.

In a recent YouTube video, "Pope Francis: Does God will many Religions," Thomist Dr. Marshall Taylor and co-host scholar Timothy Gordon showed beyond doubt that the Spanish and Italian transcript of Francis's words that God wills "a diversity of religions" can only be read as meaning God's positive will and not permissive will.

As happened in the Beatific Vision material heresy of the Medieval Pope John XXII so Francis needs to recant or be corrected for words that can only be seen as material heresy, but not formal heresy, as Bishop Gracida, I believe, is saying and Cardinal Raymond Burke has implied in his famous Catholic World Report interview where he said "If a Pope would formally profess heresy he would cease, by that act, to be the Pope. It's automatic."

With the above in mind, The Wanderer on February 14, 2019 posted a article "Did Pope Francis 'Apostatize' In Abu Dhabi?" which wrongly claims that Francis's words can be interpreted in a "orthodox sense" as God's "permissive (or contingent) will."

But even worst, the article is promoting the fake news that Bishop Gracida said things in quotes which he didn't say, but are said in a article "Bergoglians are the party of Apostasy, and no one can deny it NOW!" which the bishop posted from the website From Rome in his blog.

Everyone who follows Bishop Gracida's blog knows he posts articles which are of interest, but which he doesn't necessarily agree with.

It is disgraceful to quote Bishop Gracida saying things he didn't say.

The Wanderer owes the bishop an apology.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

UPDATE: Fr. Ripperger's Prayer Recommendation for the Election: He Calls It "The Most Efficatious Prayer in Crushing Diabolical Influence In the Area of Oppression"!

During a recent interview on the Grace Force Podcast on YouTube, Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger   provided updated information that the prayers he officially recommends  for the laity to say with regard to the election, President Trump and our country  are the two  prayers posted below.  https://youtu.be/UKrLr4jW0Eo First of all, it is very important to start by saying that the usual means of receiving merit and graces are of paramount importance. That is, remain in a state of grace, recite the rosary daily, attend Mass as frequently as possible, receiving frequent communion, and frequent confession.  Father Ripperger mentions that we should offer all these things up and ultimately to be praying for an "honest, fair, and just election"..."and "for Trump's protection."  He references his book,  Deliverance Prayers: for Use by the Laity,  and states, "there is a prayer, and this is the one that I'm going to recommend because it's the one...
