This is what they mean when they talk about that joyful church…

Laudato Tree: Francis has found another cause to get excited about — naturally one that has nothing to do with saving souls from eternal damnation.

That’s it: New head of German Novus Ordo bishops has figured out that Coronavirus isn’t divine punishment because “God does not punish”! Reality check: “And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: that all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity” (2 Thess 2:10-11; cf. Rom 1:24-26).

Just some divine proposals there.

How times change: Not too long ago, Michael Voris and his Church Militant operation denounced articles like this one as dangerous “spiritual pornography”.

Ah yes, Ratzinger the great enemy of Masonry: “When he was a cardinal, Pope Benedict said Freemasonry is the greatest danger to the Church”. Reality check: The automatic excommunication for Catholics who joined Freemasonry was eliminated in 1983, when Ratzinger was head of the so-called Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Holy Thusday with the Fun Church: No one there to have their feet washed? Wash them anyway!

Benedict XVI writes letter marking 100th birthday of “Saint” John Paul II. Louie Verrecchio has a critical assessment of that here. Funny, when St. Pius X’s landmark encyclical against Modernism turned 100 during his “pontificate” (Sep. 8, 2007), Benedict was mum as a paper weight. Not to mention Francis on the 100th anniversary of St. Pius X’s holy death!
