WHAT BERGOGLIO SAYS ABOUT SODOMY IS NOT WHAT HE THINKS

'Pope Francis' celebrates 'Holy Thursday Chrism Mass', March 30. Qué?

"The 'truth-idol' imitates," said Jorge Bergoglio on Tuesday - at what a Vatican source called "a Holy Thursday Chrism Mass" - "it dresses itself up in the words of the Gospel, but does not let those words touch the heart. 

"Much worse, it distances ordinary people from the healing closeness of the word and of the sacraments of Jesus."

Just what is going on here? What's going on is Bergoglio's ramp-up of his argument, put so clearly as to defy denial in his puff piece Francesco, for a sea-change in Church doctrine on the inadmissability of sodomites to Holy Communion - in spite of a recent statement of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) saying NO to blessing same-sex unions. *

You'd have to suspect that this CDF statement was just window-dressing, done by Bergoglio's stooge, Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer SJ, who replaced the good Cardinal Gerhard Müller - to ensure, to quote the Jesuits' own 'America Magazine' that the CDF is "rowing with rather than against" the 'pope'. (Isn't that what I just said?)

Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer. What would you make of this man?

And this was the Pope's homily at St Peter's Basilica at the Chrism Mass, where prelates and priests reaffirm their promises to commit to being faithful stewards of the Gospel and servants of their people. What an egregious insult to Our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist, which He Himself instituted at the Last Supper. 

"The pontiff told the assembled ministers that practicing closeness to his people is one of a priest's main obligations ... having proximity to those entrusted to them is the key to both mercy and truth.

Fine. We assume that would apply also to bishops - whose appointment is a pope's first responsibility. Palmerston North Diocese has had no bishop to practise closeness to his people for over a year now. Could Bergoglio please get on with what's supposed to be his job rather than consorting with sodomites?

Best mates: Bergoglio and Francesco director Evgeny Afineevsky, a self confessed sodomite 

"Holy Thursday recalls Jesus' last supper (sic) before his crucifixion (sic) and is also considered by the church (sic) to mark his creation of the priesthood - at that supper, he offered himself to his disciples, likening his body to bread to be eaten and his blood to wine to be drunk."

Stop right there. " 'Likening' His Body 'to bread'' and His Blood 'to wine'? Even we the laity of  Palmerston North Diocese in far away Down Under know that it's not a matter of 'likening', but of His actual Body and Blood that we eat and drink.

It's truly galling to be handed this hogwash (to borrow a reader's description of Francesco), especially in Holy Week, by the man the world calls the pope, quoted by National Catholic Reporter.

Is it surprising then, that in Down Under in PN Diocese at our very own Chrism Mass on Monday, in his homily Cardinal Call Me John Dew made no mention as far as I can recall of the Passion and Death of our Saviour? That he described Holy Orders as making priests "different, not better"? A reader of this blog who attended remarked:

"In a sentence Cardinal Dew flattened the entire hierarchy of the Catholic Church and made obsolete the magnitude of Our Lord’s Last Supper.   Having done that, what point could the good Cardinal have left for a homily on the Passion?  He’d already deconstructed so much!"

Yet another reader (one in the best possible position to comment) was appalled by the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. To one who hears heresy preached almost weekly it didn't seem so very bad. I told him he leads a sheltered life - and he admitted it. 

The good old catechism (I wish it were the Baltimore Catechism but it isn't to hand) says: 

"Through (Holy Orders) priests by the anointing of the Holy Spirit are signed with a special character and so are configured to Christ the priest in such a way that they are able to act in the person of Christ the head....by reason of their sacerdotal dignity ... after the image of Christ, the supreme and eternal priest, they are consecrated in order to preach the Gospel and shepherd the faithful as well as to celebrate divine worship as true priests of the New Testament."

If priests are consecrated to preach and shepherd the laity, does that not clearly imply that the former certainly should be better than the latter? But to settle the question once and for all we turn to the pre-eminent Fr. Regional Garrigou-LaGrange, O.P.:

Fr Garrigou-LaGrange: compare his phiz with Cardinal Ladaria's

 "Priestly Ordination imprints on the soul an indelible character and confers a special Sacramental grace. [Den. 964, 959] We must pause a moment to consider the sublime purpose of this character and Sacramental grace. The character is an intimate and permanent possession of the soul which enables a man to perform the actions of a priest validly; so it is commonly understood as the active power of Holy Orders to Consecrate the Eucharist validly and to absolve the faithful validly from sins committed since Baptism. [Cf. Council of Trent, Den. 960.]  

The grace is given that the priest may perform the duties of his state not merely validly but also holily, and that this spirit of holiness develop in unison with his growth in grace and charity demanded by the supreme commandment [Cf. Den. 960]

The reason is obvious. God never confers a power on any man without, at the same time, giving him the necessary means for the worthy exercise of that power. And the prayers in the Pontifical make it evident that this is the purpose of the Sacramental grace of Holy Orders. Hence it follows that this grace is an even more precious effect than the character of the Sacrament. 

Taking all these definitions and assertions together, it is clear that the Catholic Church regards our priesthood as invested with a noble dignity.

So much for Cardinal Dew's assertion that priests are "different, not better". At last Friday's hearing of the Commission of Enquiry into abuse in care, the cardinal's dismal appearance in shirt and tie, for all the world like a clerk, would seem tailored to fit the general tenor of his remarks, which was to reduce the priesthood to a similar clerk-like status. It's all so 'umble, don't y' know. 

Which reminds me of my parish priest's remarks at our Chrism Mass this evening, that the priesthood is all about 'service'. Much was made of foot-washing and nothing at all of the sublime vocation of the priest in literally calling down God Himself onto our altars.

If this post sounds all doom and gloom, we may as well go the whole hog and hand the floor over to one Fr D Dariusz Oko.Fr Oko is a Polish priest who's just published Lavender Mafia: With the Popes and Bishops against the Homoclique in the Church.” The book, as yet unavailable in English, is a bestseller in Poland. 

“Things have gone so far that this truth cannot be kept a secret.”

“Experts in the field know well that an essential ‘prerequisite’ to becoming a bishop is … belonging to the ‘clan,’ having homosexual tendencies or, at least, guaranteeing that one will not impair the rights of the Church homosexuals,” Oko writes. “These are unwritten yet necessary conditions that a candidate must fulfill …”

The priest believes that the prestigious Vatican diplomatic service has the worst reputation for men living a double-life: “It is due to the fact that staying in apostolic nunciatures in various countries makes hiding one’s unrestrained homosexual life quite easy,” he writes.

The priest-professor believes that even the appointment of new bishops has begun to “lie in the hands of people who act against the basic teaching of the Church, her anthropological and moral norms.” This leads to corruption from the top down."

*A group of Austrian priests have made it clear that they will not obey (the CDF ruling against same-sex blessings), and many German priests have said the same thing, while an important Belgian bishop, Johan Bonny, has said that he is ashamed of the Church because of this sort of document, and he has apologized to all homosexual couples as well as to their parents and grandparents.

Does this look to you like the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church?

And here in New Zealand and the Pacific, the Marists are furiously "rowing with the pope" and the CDF. Their sordid little Cathnews publication simply reeks of sodomy. Three stories on that subject in their latest and - in the interests of balance, perhaps - two on heterosexual encounters. Cold showers are indicated.

From the Epistle for the Mass of the Last Supper, 1962 Missal (bear in mind that "No one sins more grievously than the priest that offers Sacrifice unworthily. Those that unworthily offer Jesus Christ in Heaven sin more grievously than the Jews who crucified Him when He was upon earth” - St Peter Damian.

St. John Chrysostom teaches that a priest that approaches the Altar with a soul stained with mortal sin is far worse than a devil. 

"Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and of the Blood of the Lord" 

- Epistle, Mass of the Last Supper (1962 Missal).
