Encyclical Letter Dilexit Nos
on the Human and Divine Love of the Heart of Jesus Christ

October 24, 2024

The Vatican’s endless text factory has just released another whopper of a document: Jorge Bergoglio (a.k.a. ‘Pope Francis’) has released his fourth (and hopefully final) Encyclical Letter, after Lumen Fidei (2013) and Laudato Si’ (2015), and Fratelli Tutti (2020). It is entitled Dilexit Nos (“He Loved Us”).

In its English version, Dilexit Nos has 27,936 words. It consists of five chapters that include a total of 220 numbered paragraphs, and it has 227 footnotes. As is pointed out in the first footnote, “Many of the reflections in this first chapter [of the encyclical] were inspired by the unpublished writings of the late Father Diego Fares, S.J.” In a write-up for the progressivist rag America, Novus Ordo propagandist Austen Ivereigh hailed the Rev. Diego Fares (1955-2022) as “our greatest interpreter of Pope Francis”.

The Vatican has provided a video of the press conference with Modernist ‘Abp.’ Bruno Forte introducing the encyclical:

We have run the text of Dilexit Nos through a word count engine. According to it, the top three words found in the lengthy document are: heart, love, and Christ.

It goes without saying that, although devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a most noble and wonderful thing that is most salutary and therefore always to be encouraged, no one should receive instruction on this topic from a Modernist apostate like ‘Pope’ Francis, whose record of distorting the true teachings of Jesus Christ is endless.

Instead, real Catholics draw their instruction from the Catholic magisterium and approved Catholic sources, such as:

• Pope Leo XIII, Annum Sacrum (1899)
• Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor (1928)
• Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Caritas Christi Compulsi (1932)
• Pope Pius XII, Encyclical Haurietis Aquas (1956)
