On August 20, the Vatican published a “Letter of His Humbleness Francis to the People of God” written in light of the homo-clerical scandal.
The overall theme of the letter is established in its opening sentence; words taken from the First Epistle of St. Paul’s to the Corinthians: “If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26).
The Bergoglian exegesis that followed is just as expected; an earthbound bastardization that has little or no foundation in truth.
“These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse,” Francis declared.
Once more? Apparently he is convinced that “the People of God” have forgotten how he thumbed his nose at those who informed him of the homo-shenanigans of Chilean Bishop Juan Barros.
Readers may recall that Barros is accused of engaging in homosexual acts with the now convicted sex abuser Fr. Fernando Karadima in the presence of minors. When asked by a reporter to comment on the matter back in January, Francis claimed, “No one has come forward.”
This, as even the Jesuit America Magazine suggested, was a lie. (See HERE.) He then went on to lash out at Barros’ accusers; charging them with slander:
We have to be clear about this: anyone who accuses without evidence, pertinaciously, this is slander.
[Yes, you read that correctly: The pertinacious heretic Bergoglio actually used the word “pertinaciously.”] It was only in response to the considerable backlash that ensued that Francis backed off; i.e., he went into damage control mode.
This is exactly what we see in this letter as well.
Francis went on to mention the revelations made public “in recent days,” apparently referring to the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report that details, among other things, the slippery behavior of bon vivant Bergoglian insider, Cardinal Donald Wuerl – a man openly accused of lying by the PA Attorney General.
So, how is Jorge going handle this one? Simple – by denying the extent to which this crisis is a present reality; suggesting that it is little more than water under the bridge:
“Even though it can be said that most of these cases belong to the past…”
Make no mistake; this phrase is one of the keys to reading the letter and it’s nothing new. The “party line” out of Rome has long been that the homo-clerical abuse scandal is but an unfortunate page in the conciliar church’s history; one that has been largely handled.
Francis went on to shed crocodile tears over “The heart-wrenching pain of these victims, which cries out to heaven…”
Here we have yet another instance of quasi-biblical Bergoglian balderdash as Sacred Scripture does not list the pain of victims as that which cries out to heaven, but rather four sins in particular – in the present case, homosexuality.
This is far from just a subtle attempt to add linguistic appeal to a pathetic text; it is a deliberate attempt to reroute the focus of “the People of God” away from the conciliar church’s homo problem, and, ultimately, away from God Himself.
Francis went on to suggest that the problem to this point, and therefore the solution, involves not just those members of the homo-archy who either committed or covered-up these grave sins, but rather all of us!
With shame and repentance, we acknowledge as an ecclesial community that we were not where we should have been … every one of the baptized should feel involved in the ecclesial and social change that we so greatly need … It is impossible to think of a conversion of our activity as a Church that does not include the active participation of all the members of God’s People.
You see, as far as Bergoglio is concerned, the issue isn’t so much that homo-predators and homo-sympathizers are legion among the clergy, much less is it the abandonment of faith that has come to define the conciliar church, it is those who hold a traditional view of the Church and her sacred ministers.
Clericalism, whether fostered by priests themselves or by lay persons, leads to an excision in the ecclesial body that supports and helps to perpetuate many of the evils that we are condemning today. To say “no” to abuse is to say an emphatic “no” to all forms of clericalism.
Leave it to Jorge to twist the homo-clerical scandal into a tool for dragging the Church even further down to earth.
More could be cited from this loathsome letter, but we’ll wrap it up with the following:
Saint Paul’s exhortation to suffer with those who suffer is the best antidote against all our attempts to repeat the words of Cain: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Gen 4:9).
The Devil is so subtle, and likewise his servant, Jorge! No, St. Paul did not exhort the faithful to “suffer with those who suffer.” Rather, he taught an immutable truth:
And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it. (1 Cor 12: 26)
In other words, the true members of Holy Mother Church (as opposed to Jorge Bergoglio and others like him who calculate and scheme against her) – do indeed suffer in accordance with the sufferings of the other members of the Mystical Body of Christ. They may not know it, or feel it, but it is real and unavoidable just the same.
In Jorge’s world of earthbound, fleeting, and ultimately meaningless emotionalism, simply acting as if we share the wounds of those who have been victimized, declaring just how sad we are at their suffering, is “the best antidote.”
Nonsense. The best antidote to every evil is the one true faith fully taught, embraced, and lived; something that the Captains of Newchurch absolutely refuse to do, and until such time as that ceases to be so, rest assured, nothing is going to change for the better.
They belong to the past alright, Jorge’s past with José Tolentino Mendonça!
Hmmmm…..and the body of a priest recently dug uo in TX who was allegedly in a hx priest group OR the priest that was strangled in Indiana …how I chuckled when TOB Fr T Loya said he wasn’t a homosexual !. Loya’s brother an ex priest and his wife and ex nun gave a homily and read the Gospel at our parish at the behest of our cross dressing pastor whose little altar boy constant companion was their son and named after his uncle Fr Tom. Nephew Tom invited his high school buddies to party with the cross dresser in our rectory which was suddenly off limits to ALL parishioners. When the cross dresser got the boot he stole all the furniture we paid for. Williamasburg reproductions purchased with parish
monies by the previous homosexual pastor who was defrocked and now lives in Wyoming with his male homo porn star partner and attends an LGBTQ (XYZ) Episcopal priestess run parish .He is featured on the church Facebook site giving a puppet show for children there. I guess parents who go to an LGBTQ loving church care little if their youth minister has a record for having his previous diocese having to pay out settlement money to victims………..Byzantine Catholic Diocese need to be investigated too !

Now they’re killing each other off?

But it is all in the past!!!
The deep rooted evil, sadistic perversion within the “catholic” church is now evident for all to see (or more accurately–for all who are willing to see). However, what is more revealing and frightening is the demonic hatred of Our Lord’s Church by those who are supposed to be the instruments of the Catholic faith handed down to us by the Apostles. Who are we to trust? As Louie points out the Captains of Newchurch are not trustworthy even as their crocodile tears flow from their deceiving eyes. If the “captains” can’t be trusted, shall we trust those you follow the “captains”?
My 2 Cents,
I suggest we put our Trust in our Triune God alone. Obviously all these revelations about the captains is being allowed by Him for a reason.
Since we do not know the mind of God we must pray and wait because everything will be made clear eventually.
IMHO we are living the times of the Great Apostasy and have been for quite a long time.
Personally I feel satisfied that Heaven has heard the cries of the victims and is revealing the martyrdom and torture they have experienced.
There is much more to come .
2 Cents ,I should add here that all of them including Borgolio are and have been well aware of these crimes. the stupid debate on Voris’ site about whether he was in the dark or not is moot.
Moot only in that he did not care to make himself aware of each gory detail as the PA Report made the public.
Nuf said.. There is more to come later so brace yourselves.
Wait I take my last post back………
Borgolio seems to be well versed in perversion .He did mention he has an understanding of Coprophagy ! So he obviously is aware of the gory details regarding the actions of perverts he seems to surround himself with.
sweep-I am constantly being reminded of the “good” priests and the “good” people in the Catholic Church. How do they function in this cesspool? Surely, they are very well aware of this horrendous behavior on the part of fellow clergy. Are they really serving the Catholic Faithful when they keep their heads in the sand? Or, are they providing the necessary cover of “goodness” to hide the horrible truth? The Catholic faithful may be fooled, but Our Lord is never fooled.
Oh… so… NOW… Jorge is one to Judge!!!!
And he judges us all! We’re all guilty!
How ecumenical!
Perhaps it’s about time Jorge goes around asking for the membership cards of the Gay Lobby? He should finally ask them to hand in their identification badges.
I think Ricca has one.
It also comes with a magnetic stripe that gives him access to Jorge’s hotel room… err… floor…
Maybe someone should interview Benedict XVI again about the idea that the Gay Lobby only had a 1 or 2 people and he already took care of it…?
Dossier? What dossier…?
And how about Jorge make good on getting rid of that ‘clericalism’? Considering how now all the people have seen the light and want all these clerics ELIMINATED. From the highest offices to the lowest peripheries!
GET. RID. OF. THEM. JORGE!
We’re calling your bluff!
The God of Surprises arrived, and he’s currently at work in Pennsylvania and everywhere unwrapping all the little gifts your cabal kept in store for us.
THE CHURCH HAS ENTERED A NEW PHASE!!!
FORWARD JORGE!
OPEN THE WINDOWS!
STEP OUT ON THE PERIPHERY AND SMELL WHAT THE SHEEP ARE COOKING! HEAR ALL THEIR LITTLE BELLS TOLLING! THEY TOLL FOR THEE!
They fell prey to effeminacy.
As Ann Barnhardt pointed out, they followed the Fr. Z motto of “Keep your mouth shut. Look down. Get Ordained.”
Fr. Z forgot to tell them that once they’re out they would have to continue to follow the rule in order not to be Ordained and Ostracised.
So they kept their mouths shut. Wouldn’t want to lose members after all, that would be horrible!
-Better they don’t know what is going on so long as they remain in the Church.
-Better that a few people get raped and molested so long as the many remain in the Church.
-Better tolerate their sins, so long as they remain in the Church.
-Better to avoid scandals, because these poor saps will leave the Church, not critically consider it within the context of the Truth we never taught them.
So they washed their hands and left it up to God. Waiting for the natural solution to occur (the one happening now).
But the natural solution also means they are also going to be in the vicinity of the bomb’s devastating circumference.
I’ve been trying desperately to warn my family about what is going on. Some don’t want to hear it. According to them, the Gospel is summed up as “Think Happy Thoughts! Always be Positive! Saints are always Smiling! The Gates of Hell, you know! They won’t prevail!”
Yeah well, certain portions of the flock won’t prevail when the shit hits the fan either.
There’s a difference between prudence, and outright cowardice.
Prudence was not the path they chose.
But Jorge’s right about one thing. As a collective, we’re all responsible for the crap priests and bishops we got. We didn’t invade the Vatican after the Council and throw their bodies into the Tiber then. But it may come to that inevitably. Even if God needs the Russians or the Muslims to do it for us.
Solomon’s Temple was also very nice… but God wasn’t impressed then by Bramante, Michelangelo, Maderno or Bernini, (though He appreciates the thought), so we might have to bid farewell to St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City.
I look forward to when the real Church shows up again… likely in Portugal, where the first order of business will be the preservation of those Dogmas of the Faith.
God Have Mercy on Catholics!
First we have an Apostate Church , but now it is an all out CRIMINAL SYNDICATE !

No wonder they installed a S American to be a pretend Pope!
It did not end with Bella Dodd ! The commies in S America have been recruiting and sending perverts here to become pretend Priests and the freakin Bishops were part of it !!!
No wonder my friend asked a Seminary Rector in VA at a big Catholic dinner just why they were bringing Communist Chinese here years ago to become seminarians !!!
“Because we know believe they will change their political ideology after being in America.”
NO ! They are trying to change our political policies because they have already changed the institutional Catholic Church’s !!!
He adds insult to injury. He adds to the weight of the cross. He made it worse, the man in the Chair of Peter, the man who is supposed to be a vicar of Christ, a spiritual father, is actually making things more difficult, more upsetting, more disturbing. This person is no spiritual father in any sense of it. He spouts the most inane and meaningless new age-drivel, and it’s hard to take as a rule, but for him to say this, blame US, at this time, to use this as an opportunity to denounce clericalism, really, it is just too much to take. The man is insufferable.
He offers no solution, no way forward, it’s just completely meaningless. They actually want us to just ignore their boy molesting and forget about it. They honestly think if they just hold out, we will just let it go.
I can only speak for my family, but we are not willing to let it go. We’re fed up with their destruction of the faith and the church, we’re fed up with being treated like second class citizens because we love Catholicism, and we’re completely fed up with the homosexuals and their perversions, wrecking the lives of boys and young men and now, tearing the church in two.
For us it stops, here. We want a grand jury in our state to investigate our local church. We want AG Jeff Sessions to consider a RICO investigation, and they better do it quick before Sicluna (sp) comes to the US and yanks out all “problematic” records. These men are mobsters, they aren’t Catholic clergy! I don’t trust a one of them, their credibility is entirely shot.
This puts a WHOLE NEW SPIN on the U.S. Bishops campaign for open borders and lax immigration! Get Trump on the phone!
———————————————————
“To be clear, under Bp. Henry Mansell during his time in Buffalo, young Colombian men, some of whom were homosexual, were actively recruited and brought to the United States under false pretenses — potentially violating U.S. immigration laws in the process:
Fr. John Lavers: “If that student or seminarian was dismissed or expelled — not withdrawn, but dismissed or expelled — then, in accordance with 2012 the immigration law of the day, they had two weeks in order to leave the United States. But we also know from the investigation that this did not happen.”
Michael Voris: “And so the fact that they are engaged in or at least that possibility is sitting right there that they are engaged in violations of U.S. immigration law.”
This potential point of deceiving the U.S. Immigration Department in funneling in gay seminarians to the U.S. and moving them around after they have been expelled from a seminary will not bode well for bishops if the federal government comes calling — especially with daily chatter of RICO violations increasing.
The seminarians we spoke with told us not all Colombians were homosexual who were recruited.
Some were brought to Buffalo to be groomed and converted to a homosexual lifestyle and passed around among various clergy.”
Evangeline, yes yes and yes again !
My 2 Cents, It was good priests who told me the truth because I knew them well and vice versa and they also knew I knew what was going on. They filled in the gaps as did Randy. Most of them found their way into positions where they were removed from the others or left . The mother and Godmother of one younger well educated priest also told me how he was maneuvering his career so as to not live in a rectory or be around most other priests.
He said Vatican City and Rome itself are an unbelievable mess as is almost every Diocesan he has encountered. He also said the Indult places are for the most part occupied by the same.
One priest asked me to track down 20 something priests who left his Catholic Byzantine Rite.With the exception of one I could not locate, they all went into the Orthodox churches and not for reasons of marriage possibilities either.
This is a horrible situation especially now knowing there were so many homosexuals pipe lined into the US seminaries from Columbia . How about the other S American countries? Melkite Catholic priests are now allowed to marry before entering the seminary here in the US . They lost many to the Orthodox and maybe the Bishops think that will stop the exodus but that is NOT why they exited.
May I add another “Yes”! They make mobsters look like bullies in the schoolyard. They will stop at nothing to protect this ugly lifestyle which preys on the young and scandalizes Our Lord. They have earned the millstone.
Johnno, I look forward to it too and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart (Our Feast today). But in the meantime, all I can think about, relative to the indifference and cowardice (effeminacy) is what a shame, what a horrible disgrace! Kyrie Eleison!
My2cents, we are taught that we are to put our trust in Holy Mother Church and her teachings. To say we only trust God is to actually adopt a protestant view of revealed truth. This leads to your version of truth and my version of truth. That is why we had a Church under divine protection for 1925 years. We obviously cannot trust anything coming from what once appeared to be the Church, so we can only hold fast to what was taught to us before 1958.
My2cents, I forgot where I read that the downfall of the Church will not be due a takeover of evil men but because so many good men will unknowingly be on the wrong side.
Tom A–I agree. We must remember that the Catholic Faith and the Catholic (?) church are two different things. When the catholic church is no longer an instrument of the Catholic Faith, it must be rejected. Adhere to the true tenets as taught by Our Lord and handed down by the Apostles.
That was a pretty awful letter. I wonder if Kissy-Face wrote it for him?
Yes, it does contain some nice-sounding platitudes couched in semi-traditional terms, but at the end of the day, curing cancer isn’t just about saying nice things to the patient’s family – it’s about yanking that darn tumour out.
All those who thought Francis would be a reformer have got to be very, very nervous now. This is only going to get worse.
