How Pope Francis Broke The Church

 

 

As timing goes, a pope simply can’t do better than to die just after Easter Sunday, but the most recent Pope topped that by, in the days before his death, having headline grabbing meetings with King Chares and Queen Camilla and also US Vice President J D Vance. 

HoweverPolitics and religion shouldn’t ever be mixed up together, no matter how tempting or sensible that that might seem to be. The pope interfering in the legitimate mandate that the democratic process in the USA delivered is hubristic and gratuitous at best, and reveals a man totally removed from reality and out of touch with society.  

Among Francis’s most famous comments was his much-quoted line when he was asked about gay people: “Who am I to judge?” But now, in the run-up to the next conclave, support is already growing in some circles for the election of a conservative cardinal such as Robert Sarah, from Guinea, who has strongly criticised gender ideology and denounced Islamic radicalism.  

While mainstream media in the free world has been effusive in its praise of  Pope Francis' simplivity, humanity and devotion to the faith, others see him as a self promoter, a man committed to advancing a left wing political agenda through his papacy and a divisive figure who has deeply divided the church.

That popemobile trip round St Peter’s Square yesterday, the meeting with J.D. Vance, the Easter blessing, the composition of his Urbi et Orbi message – which bore his unmistakeable stamp in the stuff about migration and war, though it was read by a cardinal – were all highly theatrical and calculated to capture the attention of the media. For a man who allegedly hated  personal attention it was a stupendous final performance. The only thing lacking was an encore. 

There will be lots of critics within and outside the Catholic curch who will be relieved by his death, and deeply concerned by some of his policies and pronouncements on Islam, homosexuality, transgenderism, immigration, globalism and national politics, which marked him out as a great disruptor. But the manner of his death, after he had lingered on the brink, sustained by every drug and therapy available, seems to succeeded, temporarily at least, in securing his legacy as a great reformer The celebrity physicist Carlo Rovelli a few years ago, and he said that his feelings about the Church had radically changed because of Francis.

Other, less emotionally tainted views are no so sychophantic. Many will remember Pope Francis the whatever as a Marxist Globalist obsessed with forcing the Christian nations of the West to accept “The Great Replacement” the Queerification of relihion, and also for mocking Jesus by debasing himself before Muslims bent on destroying Christianity, washing and kissing their feet.

 

Picture: The Independent

There is no getting away from the fact that the Church in the West declined precipitately during his papacy. This great pastoral Pope as some people are describing him didn't persuade people to follow him back to the pews or the seminaries or to embrace communism, Islam or chicks-with-dicks. Indeed the one area of growth, the traditionalist wing, he supressed quite brutally.

Having been married to a very lapsed Roman Catholic for 45 years and knowing the opinions of her family I personally doubt that there was any great affection for him among ordinary worshippers, not least because almost every word he uttered was in Italian or sometimes Spanish. It is difficult to form a connection with a public figure who doesn't speak your language or a language you understand. Grinning benignly from the popemobile only goes so far. I also doubt that he was universally popular with priests because he was forever upbraiding them for some collective failing or other. Indeed, very often his self-promotion seemed to be at the expense of his priests and bishops.

Pope Francis Implicated In Argentine Church Child Abuse Cover Up?

posted by Maj. Graham W Lear, reproduced on request

Shocking evidence is emerging that Cardinal Bergoglio now Pope Francis covered up many child abuse cases in his home country Argentina while acting as Cardinal Bergoglio.

An investigation should begin to see if Bergoglio also assaulted children.

This information is now going to be passed on to all media outlets in all countrys. and to relevant police authorities

Although not a Catholic in any stretch of the imagination, I believe the position of a person who is the head of billions of people should be beyond reproach. It now seems that the smiling Pope Francis might be hiding a very dark secret


Argentina's shame.

Fr. Rubén Pardo – In 2003, a priest with AIDS who had admitted to his bishop that he had sexually assaulted a boy was discovered to be hiding from law enforcement in a vicarage in the archdiocese of Buenos Aires, then headed by Bergoglio. Pardo also was reportedly hearing children's confessions and teaching in a nearby school. One of Bergoglio’s auxiliary bishops, with whom he met every two weeks, appears to have lived at the vicarage at the same time. Typically, an ordinary must give permission for a priest to live and work in his diocese. It is unlikely that Pardo lived and ministered in Buenos Aires without Bergoglio's approval.

Father Rubén Pardo sexually assaulted 15-year-old Gabriel Ferrini on 8/15/2002 at the priest’s residence at the Seminary House of Formation in Berazategui. Two days after the assault, the boy’s mother, Beatriz Varela, met with the bishop of the Quilmes diocese, Luis Stöckler. Varela, a devout Catholic and teacher at a Catholic school, asked Bishop Stöckler to report Pardo to civil authorities and expel him from ministry.

The mother later testified that in a second meeting with Bishop Stöckler, he told her he had met with Pardo on 8/19/2002 and that Pardo admitted to the assault. Pardo was repentant, he told her, and the case would be handled according to canon law. According to Varela, Stöckler advised her to have mercy because celibates have "moments of weakness." The bishop gave Pardo a reprimand, urging him to leave the diocese and refrain from saying Mass and heading confessions for one month. In a 2004 “open letter,” he said he also immediately reported Pardo to the Holy See, which ordered a church trial to begin in the ecclesiastical tribunal in Buenos Aires. The bishop did not order Pardo to stay away from minors and he did not report him to civil authorities.

The bishop paid for therapy for Varela and her son for four months. Varela later testified that the bishop terminated the payments when he learned that Varela had consulted an attorney. The bishop denied this; he said that it was Varela who decided to stop accepting the payments.

In late 2002, Varela learned that Pardo carried the AIDS virus. At around this time, she tried to report Pardo to the inter-diocesan ecclesiastical court located in Buenos Aires, next to the headquarters of the Buenos Aires archdiocese. According to Varela, she was kicked out of the waiting room by a monsignor, the court's president, who told her to report Pardo to her diocese instead. A priest in the waiting room offered to bring her to Cardinal Bergoglio, whose office was in an adjacent building, the Curia Metropolitana. Varela went next door and requested a meeting, but because she did not want to tell the receptionists the specific reason she needed to speak with the cardinal, they would not convey her message to him. Security was called, and she was escorted from the premises.

Varela filed a criminal complaint on 2/7/2003. On 2/27/2003, the prosecutor, Pablo Pérez Marcote, asked the diocese ‘urgently’ to tell them Pardo’s whereabouts. The diocese was evasive, saying that Pardo had left the diocese and that no other destination had been assigned. In September 2003, Pardo was discovered living in the Flores neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires. According to a Página/12 article, he was residing at Condarco 581, which was both a vicarage of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires and a home for infirm and retired Buenos Aires priests. The archdiocese was then headed by Bergoglio. Pardo reportedly was hearing children’s confessions and teaching at a primary school in the Flores neighborhood.

In 2003, the victim and his mother sued the Quilmes diocese for cover-up. In May 2004, a month after the Pardo case was exposed on national television, Varela and Gabriel Ferrini were summoned to the inter-diocesan ecclesiastical court, in the city of Buenos Aires. According to Varela, the four priests on the panel asked “lascivious” questions that had nothing to do with Pardo’s criminal act. Bergoglio was Moderator of the tribunal but was not present at Varela’s hearing.

On 6/10/2005, Pardo died of AIDS, ending the criminal case against him. In October 2012, a Quilmes court ruled that the diocese was culpably negligent in its management of Pardo and ordered it to pay restitution to Gabriel Ferrini and Beatriz Varela. The diocese appealed, arguing : 1) that Pardo was an employee not of the diocese but of an autonomous parish; and 2) that Varela was partly responsible because she had allowed her son to spend the night at the priest’s residence. In April 2013, the Quilmes appeals court rejected both arguments and upheld the ruling of the first court. The diocese was ordered to pay the plaintiffs compensatory damages of 155,000 pesos plus ten years’ interest. It is the first civil judgment against an Argentine diocese for mismanaging a sexual predator.

New World Order Pope Calls For Oligarchic Collectivism



In the first encyclical of his Primacy Francis, the New World Order's Pope proved what many had suspected, that the ousting of conservative Pope Benedict was a fit up. By calling for a new world order, global redistribution of wealth (from the por and middle income to the banks and corporations) and oligarchic collectivist global government, Francis revealed himself to be The New World Order's hireling
