Hilarious - Premier popesplainer refutes all popesplainers: Akin refutes his entire career..."cites Saint Paul rebuking Peter in Galatians, & Athanasius contradicting Arius when Athanasius was still a deacon. When someone is wrong, he says, 'pointing it out is a spiritual work of mercy'"

Queer Synods, Quiet Cardinals, And Cowboy Apologists

Germany rewrites Catholic morality, Cardinal Dolan refuses to condemn a gay TV star confirmed with his “husband,” Knoxville strangles the old Mass again, and Jimmy Akin refutes his entire career.

Chris Jackson Dec 2....

... Jimmy Akin Accidentally Joins The Resistance

And then there is Jimmy.

(Above, Jimmy Akin theologically analyzes whether it would be morally licit to have sexual relations with an alien.)

The world’s most reliable apologist for every novelty since the council has discovered that lay people can correct clergy.

In his latest video promo he asks whether the Church teaches that it is “not appropriate” to pray after Communion, because some priest allegedly discouraged private prayer when returning to the pew. Jimmy plans to explain “why he is wrong.”

Pressed on X, he cites Saint Paul rebuking Peter in Galatians, and Athanasius contradicting Arius when Athanasius was still a deacon. When someone is wrong, he says, “pointing it out is a spiritual work of mercy.” We have been warned against clericalism. Respect for priests does not mean “being silent when they are saying something factually false and imposing burdens on others.”

If you have spent the last decade watching Jimmy scold anyone who questions Francis, fiddle with the meaning of “assent,” and treat every papal interview as if it were Vatican I on stilts, you could be forgiven for blinking in disbelief.

So a layman in a cowboy hat can publicly correct a priest with delegated ordinary jurisdiction and a canonical mission who was “sent” by the Church to preach, teach, and instruct laity over a judgment about post-Communion prayer, complete with YouTube thumbnails screaming “WRONG.”

But when priests, theologians, and entire communities point out that the Francis/Leo regime has approved sacrilegious blessings, muddled the death penalty, rewritten catechism paragraphs, and tolerated sacrilege in places like Manhattan and Munich, they are accused of “attacking the pope,” flirting with schism, or failing in charity.

Jimmy is right about one thing.

It is a spiritual work of mercy to correct those who are wrong.

The tragedy is that conservative Catholic media will support him when he punches down at some random parish priest, but will denounce anyone who speaks the same way about Leo and his bishops who are dismantling Catholic doctrine in full view of the world.

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

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.

Conclave Notes:

Has the Trad Media fallen into a COVID-like mass formation with Leo XVI? While it's humorous to see the former anti-Francis Trad pundits suddenly acting like teen age girls infatuated with Leo, it could lead to a Trojan Horse effect

It appears that a group of Bishops or Cardinals needs to give Leo XIV Dubia questions on if he still supports "Invalid and Sacrilegious" Confession

Francis Notes:

l– 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.
