“Postmodernist liberals such Michael de Certeau who Francis called the 'greatest theologian for today' seemed take it a step forward by apparently proclaiming that not only is God dead, but language is dead. They believe that words have no meaning."
I took notice as soon as I read that to them, language is dead and words have no meaning. Even if I try to reason why someone would think this way on a secular level, it makes no sense. However, when I think of it in regards to the devil fighting and railing against God and the Word, then, it looks to be a sort of arrogant, narcissistic battle versus God and the Word by the devils’ followers.
Of course, they’re in league with the devil and going against God, when they say God is dead and that words have no meaning. How evil or insane can they be? Denying God!?! Discounting the Word!?! Well, really, to choose the devil and hell over God and Heaven, is truly evil and never makes good sense. It certainly seems insane as well as evil to me. - Catholic Monitor commenter Praypraypray
Are all Catholics and all persons who believe in reason and transcendent
truths such as Pope Benedict XVI at a war with liberal theorists of whom
Francis appears to be a disciple and their ally Islam?
English professor Louis Markos in his book Lewis Agonistes shows
that Nominalist liberal theorists of whom Francis is apparently a
disciple and Nominalist Islam are at war with reason and analogy in
knowing God.
Their denial of philosophic Thomistic Analogical Realism which underpins
the infallible Catholic doctrines as well as traditional art and
literature with transcendent truths which is conveyed in material images
reveals that they are Nominalistic Modernists.
Markos says liberals of the Enlightenment mind set believed only in
materially observable “facts” and denied the existence of “transcendent
truths in material images” be it philosophy, art, literature or God.
“Postmodernist liberals such Michael de Certeau who Francis called the 'greatest theologian for today' seemed take it a step forward by apparently proclaiming that not only is God dead, but language is dead. They believe that words have no meaning."
Liberal theorist's thought in history brought humanity Communism and
Fascism with their violence against human life. Lenin and Castro were
Enlightenment men and Hitler was a follower of the proto postmodernist
Nietzsche. Pro-choicer are also followers of Nietzsche’s will to power.
Nominalist Islam showed its alliance with Nominalist liberal theorists
when they firebombed and shoot bullet holes through Christian churches
in West Bank, killed an Italian nun and threatened to bomb the Vatican
with a suicide attack when Pope Benedict XVI gave the September 12 talk
called FAITH, REASON AND THE UNIVERSITY. MEMORIES AND REFLECTIONS. In
that talk he said:
“The decisive statement in this argument against violent conversion is
this: not to act in accordance with reason is contrary to God’s nature.
The editor, Theodore Khoury, observes: For the emperor, as a Byzantine
shaped by Greek philosophy, this statement is self-evident. But for
Muslim teaching, God is absolutely transcendent. His will is not bound
up with any of our categories, even that of rationality.”
“Here Khoury quotes a work of the noted French Islamist R. Arnaldez, who
points out that Ibn Hazn went so far as to state that God is not bound
even by his own word, and that nothing would oblige him to reveal the
truth to us. Were it God’s will, we would even have to practise
idolatry.”
The pope in the lecture countered this anti-analogy theories which ultimately deny transcendent truth by saying:
“As opposed to this, the faith of the Church has always insisted that
between God and us, between his eternal Creator Spirit and our created
reason there exists a real analogy, in which unlikeness remains
infinitely greater than likeness, yet not to the point of abolishing
analogy and its language (cf. Lateran IV). God does not become more
divine when we push him away from us in a sheer, impenetrable
voluntarism; rather, the truly divine God is the God who has revealed
himself as “logos” and, as “logos,” has acted and continues to act
lovingly on our behalf. Certainly, love "transcends" knowledge and is
thereby capable of perceiving more than thought alone (cf. Eph 3:19);
nonetheless it continues to be love of the God who is “logos.”
Consequently, Christian worship is “spiritual” worship in harmony with
the eternal Word and with our reason (cf. Rom 12:1).”
Pray Francis, Islam and liberals be converted to Pope Benedict's
philosophical teaching on Thomistic analogy and reason as well as the Catholic faith.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He want you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost - Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
- Doctor
of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt
the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church
in such a situation:
"[T]he Pope... WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See."
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said "the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church."

weight behind communion for adulterers," December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows "sexually active adulterous couples
facing 'complex circumstances' to 'access the sacraments of
Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'"
- On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
"The AAS statement... establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia
has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense."
- On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
"Francis' heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the
Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters
magisterial documents."
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
