Does Taylor Marshall want to make Catholics into mindless robots? Are Popesplainers becoming more & more Gnostic by the day?

"A pope is a pope is a pope."  Again, the idea that "no one can judge a pope" is twisted to make Catholics into mindless robots. Taylor Marshall then goes on to say that, apart from resignation or death, there is one thing that can make a man no longer pope: insanity.

Who will determine that?  So, ordinary human beings have the capacity to say if someone is irrational, but not if someone is heretical?  If "a pope's only superior is Jesus Christ Himself" means that the words and actions of a reigning pontiff may be matched against no standards whatsoever, then who's to say a man is unfit for office on the basis of insanity, either?  Marshall uses the example of a pope being comatose as a supposedly clear exception, but why?  According to Marshall's way of thinking, how could we even know if a pope has died?  Would we have to wait for a miraculous finger from heaven to sign the certificate?

This recommended suspension of reason is ludicrous on every level.  Just as someone could take a pope's pulse without being Jesus Christ Himself, someone can match the assertions of Bergoglio against the Deposit of Faith and find them wanting. A non-doctor may not be legally competent to sign a death certificate, but that doesn't mean no one can die, or be known to be dead, until a doctor does.  The signature of a doctor on a death certificate doesn't actually kill anybody; it just recognizes reality in an official way.  Similarly, a non-hierarchical Catholic may not have the authority to declare someone a heretic, but that doesn't mean there are no heretics until Church authority says so.  If that's how things worked, there would be nothing to declare.  No one could die until doctors said so, and no one could deviate from the Faith unless Jesus Christ made a special appearance to that effect.  Because if "no one can judge a pope" and I am following such a pope without appeal to any other standard, then only Jesus Christ in person--not my priest confessor, not my spouse, not even my own conscience--can have any real say in the matter.

This is not Catholic.  We are not called to embed ourselves in invincible ignorance, which is impossible in any case due to the involvement of the will in blinding ourselves as we are being urged to do. Equally against the Faith is the implication that Jesus Christ cannot be known except by popes, and that, because of this absolutely unique relationship, anything that filters down to us through papal means must, ipso facto, be swallowed as "God's will" entirely.  The Bergoglians may lean Arian, but the popesplainers are becoming more and more Gnostic by the day.

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants 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.”

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.

What is needed right now to save America from those who would destroy our God given rights is to pray at home or in church and if called to even go to outdoor prayer rallies in every town and city across the United States for God to pour out His grace on our country to save us from those who would use a Reichstag Fire-like incident to destroy our civil liberties.
