"Are these Bergoglio is certainly the Pope Americans Never Trumpers"?

Canon law expert Br. Alexis Bugnolo made a good point in the Catholic Monitor comment section: "Fred, you are on to something. When Michael Matt compared calling a Synod to depose Bergoglio with an impeachment of Trump, alarm bells went off. Are these Bergoglio is certainly the pope Americans never Trumpers or democrats? Just like the USCCB?" [ http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2020/02/why-might-crisis-editor-propagandist.html?m=1 ] Br. Bugnolo made this comment for this article: Why might Crisis Editor & Propagandist Davis like Mitt Romney-like Skojec? Today, Crisis magazine editor Michael Warren Davis who apparently wants to join the official Team Francis propaganda team, after singing the praise of Francis saying he "showed tremendous bravery" for his pro-Pachamama Querida Amazonia exhortation, praised Francis traditionalist Steve Skojec: "Steve Skojec of OnePeterFive (no Francis groupie) recently pointed out, much of the right-wing m

Is One-World Government Francis attempting to the Steal the Amazon from Brazil?

 In section 5 of Querida Amazonia Francis apparently said the Amazon belonged him and the whole world: "[T]hat land [the Amazon] which is also 'ours.'" Is he implying that a one-world government should steal the Amazon from Brazil? Might Francis be the new Al Gore? Vatican News reported that doomsday global warming alarmist Al Gore "praised Pope Francis' encyclical, 'Laudato si'" saying it addressed the "climate crisis ahead of the [United Nations' global warming] Paris Agreement." (Vatican News, "Al Gore: Pope Francis a 'moral force' for solving climate crisis, July 4, 2018) The Week in a 2018 headline proclaimed "How Pope Francis became the new Al Gore." Francis in Laudato si (161) did become "the new Al Gore" doomsday global warming alarmist saying of climate warming: "Doomsday predictions can no longer be met with... disdain." It, also, appears that Francis may be "the ne

Pachamama Exhortation: Is Pachamama Idolatry okay if it's called "tak[ing] up an Indigenous Symbol"?

We had the Pachamama Synod. Do we now have the Pachamama exhortation? At the Amazon Synod, Francis said that the pagan Pachamama idols that were bowed down to had no "idolatrous intentions." It appears that Francis in his Amazon Synod exhortation Querida Amazonia section 79 doubled down that it is admissible to bow down to Pachamama idols if they are called "an indigenous symbol": "[It] is possible to take up an indigenous symbol in some way, without considering it as idolatry." This is like a Arian heretic saying: It is possible to say Jesus is man in some way, without considering it as heresy. It is aways important to take what someone is saying in the context of their "cosmic worldview" and their past use of ambiguous language. Is Pachamama idolatry okay if it's called "tak[ing] up an indigenous symbol"? In practice, Francis has explicitly shown everyone in October, with no apologies, what "tak[ing] up an

Fear of the Lord

By James Larson   Below is linked a new article:  Fear of the Lord and The Beatitude of Poverty of Spirit.  The five-page  Introduction  to this proposed series of articles on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and The Beatitudes should be read  first, if the reader has not already done so. It is also linked below. We believe these two articles to be of such importance that all readers should consider forwarding them to anyone and everyone who might possibly be interested. http://rosarytotheinterior.com/fear-of-the-lord-and-the-beatitude-of-poverty-of-spirit/ http://rosarytotheinterior.com/the-gifts-of-the-holy-spirit-and-the-beatitudes-introduction/   Fear of the Lord And the Beatitude of Poverty of Spirit                “And He shall be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord .”  (Isaias 11: 3). The above-quoted prophesy of Isaias refers to the human soul of the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom there never was, or ever could be, even the

Why might Crisis Editor & Propagandist Davis like Mitt Romney-like Skojec?

Today, Crisis magazine editor Michael Warren Davis who apparently wants to join the official Team Francis propaganda team, after singing the praise of Francis saying he "showed tremendous bravery" for his pro-Pachamama Querida Amazonia exhortation, praised Francis traditionalist Steve Skojec: "Steve Skojec of OnePeterFive (no Francis groupie) recently pointed out, much of the right-wing media earns its daily bread by relentlessly trashing the Vicar of Christ." (Crisis, "The Pope is still Catholic," February 13, 2020) Traditionalist Catholics are starting to call the OnePeterFive publisher a Tino (traditionalist in name only). They are saying out loud that he is the Mitt Romney of the traditionalist movement for his talent at backstabbing and throwing ex-friends who are traditionalists under the bus. On February 5, Skojec ex-friend and traditionalist Oakes Spalding of Mahound's Paradise in Twitter said to Skojec: "I never thought... you

Is Taylor Marshal saying Pope Benedict's Resignation is "ARGUABLE" therefore DOUBTFUL?

Today, Dr. Taylor Marshall in his YouTube video called "Pope Benedict Resignation 7 Years Later: LIVE Rosary PLUS Q&A" admitted that Pope Benedict XVI's resignation is " ARGUABLE," therefore it is DOUBTFUL, and if it is DOUBTFUL then the condition for  the Bellarmine solution is  triggered for an imperfect council: "But think about it.   From my point of view, the way I understand it is, Benedict had all the tools, all the knowledge, and he quit.   He fled for fear of the wolves.   But if you hold that his resignation on February 28, 2013, is invalid because he . . . does make a distinction—it’s arguable whether he does make this distinction—that he resigns the ministerium and not the munus." .[ https://youtu.be/2KomzM731KY ] MARSHALL HAS (INADVERTENTLY, I BELIEVE, BUT TRULY NONETHELESS) GIVEN AWAY THE STORE:   back where he says it’s “arguable” whether or not Pope Benedict made a distinction between munus and ministerium in the first p

Some Thoughts on Taylor Marshall's Podcast: "Pope Benedict Resignation 7 Years Later"

Today, Dr. Taylor Marshall did a YouTube video called "Pope Benedict Resignation 7 Years Later: LIVE Rosary PLUS Q&A (500th Upload)." The Catholic Monitor is going to analysis the video post and then give a transcript of part of the post. [ https://youtu.be/2KomzM731KY ]  Here are some thoughts and comments on his video: 1.          Marshall demonstrates familiarity with the munus/ministerium controversy.   Why has he been suppressing the subject up until now?   It isn’t news to him. 2.          Marshall implicitly dismisses the invalidity question by calling it “very popular right now,” as though being popular means being shallow and misguided.   But what argument does he put forward—what argument has ever been put forward by anyone—that Francis is the Pope, except that he is popularly believed to be so? 3.        Marshall infantilizes those who question Francis validity by using terms like “real Dad.”   We are not intellectually children.   There are se

Vatican attempts to Expel Latinist Br. Bugnolo from Italy

One of the great heroes in the present Catholic Church crisis is canon Latinist Br. Alexis Bugnolo. The Vatican is attempting to expel him from Italy. He lives less than a kilometer (1 kilometers = .621 miles) "from the Vatican, at Rome, and the Vatican reads [his] blog daily."  Br. Bugnolo could be arrested or worst at any moment as Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano's recourse to hiding shows. I find Br. Bugnolo's canon law arguments extremely convincing, but I am not still hundred percent convinced. What I need to be more convinced is a back and forth between him and someone as knowledgeable as he is in canon law on the Pope Benedict XVI resignation. Unfortunately, all the canon law experts appear afraid to go one on one with him. That said, I consider him heroic and I have tremendous respect for his learning and scholarship as well as for his saintly courage. Today, Br. Alexis asked: "Please share this post with all clergy, bishops and Cardinals you ma
