Francis, Holy Thursday, and the Miracle of the Knees

Bergoglio the Wonderworker

Francis, Holy Thursday, and the Miracle of the Knees

On Mar. 9 of this year, after stiff-kneed Francis managed to kneel rather easily for his annual public confession stunt, we made the following prediction: “The next time Francis will be able to kneel will be on Mar. 29. That’s when he will perform the washing of politically-correct feet.”

And so it happened. Mar. 29 was Holy Thursday, and, while the rest of the world was trying to digest the developing “Hellgate” scandal, its protagonist was busy washing the feet of inmates at Rome’s Regina Caeli prison.… READ MORE

A Naturalist Easter: Francis inverts Christ

It’s always about temporal concerns…

A Naturalist Easter: Francis inverts Christ

After giving the world a Naturalist Lent, now that Lent is over, “Pope” Francis wasted no time in ushering in an equally Naturalist Easter: For his address at the traditional Urbi et Orbi blessing on Easter Sunday, Apr. 1, the Jesuit Antipope used the occasion of the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ to focus everyone’s thoughts immediately on the temporal concerns of the world once again. In other words, it’s business as usual for Francis; it’s just that this time he is using Christ’s Resurrection to promote his Naturalism.… READ MORE

Francis: “There is no Hell, there is the Disappearance of Sinful Souls”

In new interview, Bergoglio denies Eternal Punishment…

Francis: “There is no Hell, there is the Disappearance of Sinful Souls”

[POST UPDATED 29-MAR-2018 20:53 UTC – SEE BELOW]

Breaking news from the Vatican, just in time to interfere with the holiest time of the year, the Easter Triduum: As first reported by the blog Secretum Meum Mihi, the Italian paper La Repubblica — the only one Francis says he reads — has published a new interview by Eugenio Scalfari, Francis’ favorite conversation partner.

The Rorate Caeli blog has just provided an English translation:

[Scalfari:] Your Holiness, in our previous meeting you told me that our species will disappear in a certain moment and that God, still out of his creative force, will create new species.

A Naturalist Lent: Dissecting Francis’ Ash Wednesday Sermon

Insufferable drivel under the guise of Catholicism

A Naturalist Lent:
Dissecting Francis’ Ash Wednesday Sermon

Granted, we’re a bit late in covering this, but so much is happening with the Francis Show these days that it’s hard to give everything a thorough treatment in a timely fashion. At least we’re getting around to this before Lent is entirely over.

On Ash Wednesday, Feb. 14, “Pope” Francis inaugurated the Lenten season with another one of those extraordinary sermons only he can give. The Novus Ordo news service Zenit has provided an English translation:

For the first time since late 2014, Novus Ordo Watch is pleased once again to sponsor for our readers and listeners — and anyone else who may be interested — the phenomenal podcast program Francis Watch, in which host Stephen Heiner of True Restoration analyses with his sedevacantist guests, Bishop Donald J. Sanborn and Fr. Anthony Cekada, the latest chaos perpetrated by Jorge Bergoglio, otherwise known as “Pope Francis.”

In this episode no. 34, His Excellency and Father discuss:

Author of “The Dictator Pope” revealed: ‘Marcantonio Colonna’ is Henry Sire

Author chooses to reveal himself…

Author of The Dictator Pope revealed:
‘Marcantonio Colonna’ is Henry Sire

The author of the explosive book The Dictator Pope: The Inside Story of the Francis Papacy has now been revealed: It is historian Henry J. A. Sire.

The disclosure is not a “leak” or the fruit of an investigation; rather, the author chose to reveal his own name for the forthcoming second edition of his book, this time to be published in a print edition by Regnery Publishing. Sire had hitherto used the pen name Marcantonio Colonna but had said from the beginning that he knew he would eventually be unmasked anyway.… READ MORE

Congratulations, everyone. You have endured 1,826 days of mercy, joy, encounter, tenderness, favelas, and field hospitals; of touching the wounded, caressing the elderly, affirming the marginalized, welcoming migrants, warming hearts, tearing down walls, building bridges, and moving forward. In short: You have lived through 5 years of Jorge Bergoglio as “Pope Francis.”

Those who suspect that Francis must have a double or a twin brother because it is impossible for just one single person to speak as much as he does, we must disappoint: There’s only one, and on Novus Ordo Watch, he’s got his own page:

It was Mar.… READ MORE

Francis goes to Confession, miraculously manages to kneel again

Kneelability came back just in time…

Francis goes to Confession, miraculously manages to kneel again

[UPDATE 09-MAR-2018 18:19 UTC: Video added below]

When in May of 2016 we pointed out that Francis has stiff knees only on demand, we weren’t kidding: The man who is virtually never able to kneel in front of what he supposedly believes is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, has no problem kneeling when it comes to his annual “watch me go to confession” show.

This has happened year after year, and today was no exception. See the photo above, which is a screenshot taken just a few minutes ago from the live feed provided by Vatican Media of the special Penitential Celebration conducted in St.… READ MORE

The Vatican has announced that “Pope” Francis will visit the Swiss city of Geneva on June 21, 2018, to participate in the festivities for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the so-called World Council of Churches, an ecumenical body of sundry heretical and schismatic sects that are striving for some kind of “visible unity”. According to its official web site, the World Council of Churches identifies itself as “a community of churches on the way to visible unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship, expressed in worship and in common life in Christ” (source).… READ MORE

Playing Favorites: Francis’ Accountability Double Standard — Excerpt from “Lost Shepherd” by Phil Lawler

“Lost Shepherd” being released today…

Playing Favorites:
Francis’ Accountability Double Standard

Exclusive Excerpt from the new Book Lost Shepherd by Phil Lawler

Today is the day a new book against Francis is hitting the shelves in the United States: Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis is Misleading His Flock. It was written by Philip F. Lawler, who is a conservative Novus Ordo journalist, author, and commentator who will no longer remain silent about the damage the “Pope” has been inflicting on souls under the guise of Catholicism.

Lawler currently publishes a popular column at Catholic Culture, where he has been venting some of his frustration about the man he, despite all, still believes to be a valid Pope of the Catholic Church.… READ MORE

Francis: ‘I Don’t Read Websites that Accuse Me of Being a Heretic’

Bummer!

Francis: ‘I Don’t Read Websites that Accuse Me of Being a Heretic’

Last month “Pope” Francis traveled to Chile and Peru (see our coverage here). On such trips Jorge Bergoglio likes to privately visit with his fellow-Jesuits for off-the-cuff questions and answers, and this he did on Jan. 16 in Santiago, Chile and on Jan. 19 in Lima, Peru. Transcripts of the conversations are always made, but to translate and release them is a privilege that belongs to “Fr.” Antonio Spadaro, editor-in-chief of La Civiltà Cattolica, which was once a prestigious Jesuit review but now is simply another Modernist rag cheering on the destruction of Catholicism.… READ MORE

Francis: “Paul VI will become a Saint this year – Benedict and I are on the Waiting List”

Francis: “Paul VI will become a Saint this year – Benedict and I are on the Waiting List”

Modernists say the darndest things, and when the Modernist in question is Jorge Bergoglio, anything is possible. Bergoglio, also known by his stage name “Pope Francis”, is infamous for speaking off the cuff, and it is then that he is at his most candid.

This past Thursday, Feb. 15, chatting with a group of “priests” from the diocese of Rome, Francis confirmed recent rumors that “Pope” Paul VI (1963-78) would be declared a “saint” before the end of the year.… READ MORE

Conscience, Sin, and a “New Paradigm”:
Blase Cupich unloads Bergoglian Bilge at Cambridge

The Novus Ordo Sect’s Archlayman of Chicago, “Cardinal” Blase Cupich, delivered a landmark speech on Francis’ exhortation Amoris Laetitia this past February 9 at the so-called Von Hügel Institute for Critical Catholic Inquiry of St. Edmund’s College at the University of Cambridge, England. Entitled “Pope Francis’ Revolution of Mercy: Amoris Laetitia as a New Paradigm of Catholicity”, Cupich’s lecture was riddled with errors and even contained heresy and blasphemy.

How to summarize the most salient point in Cupich’s talk?… READ MORE
