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.

If Francis is a Heretic, What should Canonically happen to him?

Did Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (the future Pope Benedict XVI) say that Francis is a heretic ?   On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Ratzinge r (and future Pope Benedict) , head of the Congregation for the Faith, said that the endorsement of  " homosex civil unions" was against Catholic teaching, that is heterodoxy : "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimatization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil... The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behavior or to legal recognition of homosexual unions ." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Considerations Regarding Proposals to give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons," June 3, 2003) Gloria.tv reported: " Francis made on October 21 his latest declaration in sup...

A Hour which will Live in Infamy: 10:01pm November 3, 2020

10:01pm November 3, 2020, a hour which will live in infamy, the United States of America presidential electoral integrity was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the Democrat Machine and some corrupt collaborators within the Republican Party. It will be recorded that "under the pretense of COVID, executive branch officials across a number of key battleground states violated election procedures passed by the legislative branches of those states in a number of ways that opened up the process to fraud on a massive scale, never before seen in the history of this country" which makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks before. During the time before and after the attack the Democrat Machine and its corrupt collaborators in the Media have deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.  The attack on United States has caused severe damage to the Ameri...

Could Francis be an Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?

Is it possible for someone to be an antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope? The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope. In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II. How is this possible? St. Bernard said "the 'sanior pars' (the wiser portion)... declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops." (St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for A...
