Blase Cupich on Face the Nation said that he would give Communion to pro-abortion politicians In his interview with Face the Nation the then Archbishop Blase Cupich was asked: "When you say we cannot politicize the communion rail, you would give communion to politicians, for instance, who support abortion rights." Cupich said on Face the Nation in 2014 that he would give Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians: "I would not use the Eucharist or as they call it the communion rail as the place to have those discussions or a way in which people would be either [sic] excluded from the life of the church. The Eucharist is an opportunity of grace and conversion. It’s also a time of forgiveness of sins. So my hope would be that that grace would be instrumental in bringing people to the truth."

Fr. Thomas Weinandy is an example of one who decided not to be silent and defend his cherished beliefs. He lost his position with the USCCB instead of betraying his beliefs by the sin of omission. The courageous Fr. Weinandy said in a letter to Pope Francis: You "seem to censor and mock those who interpret Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia in accord with Church tradition... Many bishops are silent... Many fear that if they speak their mind, they will be marginalized or worst." (National Catholic Register, "Full Text of Father Weinandy's Letter to Pope Francis," November 1, 2017) The example of the other side of this coin are all the silent bishops and Cardinals who "fear that if they speak their mind, they will be marginalized or worst" so they appear willing to betray their most cherish beliefs. Vatican Expert Edward Pentin said "40 to 70 Cardinals" are silent because of their petrifying fear of Pope Francis and his Vatican. Pentin sai...

"We need a total, I might say 'brain washing.'" Governor Jerry Brown made the above quote on climate change inside the Vatican. He was invited by Pope Francis's Pontifical Academy of Sciences. (The Sacramento Bee, November 4, 2017, "World needs 'brain washing' on climate change, Jerry Brown says at Vatican") Are Pope Francis and his inner circle at the Vatican applying a type of cognitive re-definition management manipulation called brainwashing and sometimes in popular culture called gaslighting? Brainwashing and thought reform are other labels for this type of management manipulation. Richard J. Ofshe, Ph.D., gives a overview of the cognitive re-definition manipulation: "Coercive persuasion and thought reform are alternate names for programs of social influence capable of producing substantial behavior and attitude change through the use of coercive tactics, persuasion, and/or interpersonal and group-based influence manipul...

Pope Francis strolls hand in hand with the anti-gangster and gay rights advocate Fr. Luigi Ciotti. On September 1, Crux reported that Pope Francis said: "Let's call unions between the same sex 'civil unions.'" (Crux, "'I consulted a psychoanalyst,' Pope Francis reveals in new book," September 1, 2017) The gay/lesbian dissenting New Ways Ministry said: "Pope Francis has never, as pontiff, stated his endorsement of civil unions so flatly. (He did support civil unions as a compromise to his opposition towards marriage equality... As pontiff, he did make a ambiguous statement about civil unions...)." (New Way Ministry Bondings 2.0 Blog, "Pope Francis Allows for Civil Unions for Lesbian and Gay Couples," September 2, 2017) The gay movement New Way Ministry endorsed Francis's apparent endorsement of the civil unions of cohabiting homosexual couples. On June 3, 2003 the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of th...

If any other international world leader besides Pope Francis had so publicly disrespected and rebuked the highest ranking Black African member of his administration, the headlines would probably be: Is Pope Francis a Racist? In two years, Francis has twice publicly disrespected and humiliated Cardinal Robert Sarah according to Vatican expert Marco Tosatti: "This is a calculated humiliation of Cardinal Sarah." ( First Things, "The War Against Cardinal Sarah," October 13, 2017) The Pope's inner circle leaked the so-called private papal letter to the high tech media for the specific purpose of bringing about a "calculated humiliation" of the Black African Cardinal. What was the motivation for the "high-tech lynching for" a "uppity" Black? It is well known that a good part of the papal inner circle is homosexual. Vatican expert Sandro Magister said Francis has a "number of homosexual priests in the inner circle of hi...

Pope Francis has a new game plan that includes the new tactic of precise unambiguous language. The old plan was to use ambiguous language to allow sexual intrinsically evil acts. In the new plan, Francis is saying the death penalty is an intrinsically evil act in precise unambiguous language, it appears, to possibly negate natural moral law. Dr. Joseph Shaw at the Lifesitenew  and S. Armaticus at the Deus Machina blog made  the same observation on Francis's new language: -Shaw: "The Pope speaks in this address with a level of technical precision not always to be found in his remarks.' -Armaticus: "Since May, the 'literary construct' used by Francis to express the above thought has undergone a metamorphosis. In grammatical terms, one can say improvement. What has happened is that Francis has reduced the level of ambiguity.' If what Dr. Shaw, Edward Feser and Armaticus are saying below is true then the new plan is to possibly bring abou...
