Bergoglio on his wrecking ball

"When Matariki comes you plant a ceremonial offering of kai into the whenua for Whiro and Uenuku, to ensure a good crop for the next season." That's useless advice even for gardeners, but for Catholics in a parish bulletin it's worse than useless - it's idolatry.

This is the logical outcome of a "pope" who's not a pope, who's worshipped a lump of wood in St Peter's, who has all but demolished the Catholic Church and has stated his intention to dethrone the papacy - and a "New Mass" (Novus Ordo Missae) invented by a Freemason, Annibale Bugnini, with the help of a few Protestants.

A memo anticipating the next conclave now circulating among the cardinals is suggesting what qualities and actions the Church needs in her next pontiff. The job description is completely antithetical to Jorge Mario Bergolio's MO. It's tailored to suit a man faithful to Church doctrine, an orthodox, traditional man. 

In its usual papolatrous style the church bulletin cited above talks about "Respecting Mother Earth". Catholics' Mother is not the 'Earth' but Mary - who is God's Mother also. 

"Certain vegetables are planted to appease the land based gods Rongo, Uenuku and Whiro." This lesson in Maori pantheism is illustrated by hands clasped in prayer and the stars of Matariki - which as anyone with time to waste watching TvOne 'News' knows by now means "little eyes". There's a diagram of the Matariki Cluster, itemising all the gods these stars represent to Maori. 

"As the star cluster rose" this church bulletin informs its readers, "it was time to remember the rising of the dead who were now joining the stars of the night sky." At least it's written in the past tense, otherwise it would be outright heresy. 

Ah, but now the meaning of Father's cryptic allusion, in last Sunday's homily, to the congregation "rising with the stars" becomes plain. This is idolatrous nonsense deserving a mass walk-out. But no. They sit in the pews all masked up, compliant and uncomplaining. Falsely obedient, they continue to suck it up,because."Father says".

Since the beginning of Lent, in an overdue reaction to such typically rotten fruits of Bergoglio's pretend pontificate as this, someone calling himself "Demos" (the people), perhaps himself a cardinal, makes the following points in a memo being handed around among the men who will elect our next pope.

"Commentators of every school ... with the possible exception of Fr Spadaro SJ (the Jesuits being in freefall - ed), agree that this pontificate is a disaster ... a catastrophe.

• The Successor of St Peter is ... a major source ... of worldwide unity ... preserving the apostolic tradition, the rule of faith, ensuring that the Churches continue to teach what Christ and the Apostles taught.
• The German synod speaks on homosexuality, women priests, communion for the divorced. The Papacy is silent.
• Cardinal Hollerich rejects the Christian teaching on sexuality. The Papacy is silent. ... the Cardinal is explicitly heretical ... The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith must act and speak.
• The silence is emphasised when contrasted with active persecution of the Traditionalists and contemplative convents.
• The Christ-centricity of teaching is weakened: Christ is being moved from the centre. Sometimes Rome seems confused about the importance of a strict monotheism, hinting at some wider concept of divinity; not quite pantheism

The church bulletin cited above is complete pantheism. 

• Pachamama is idolatrous
• Contemplative nuns are being persecuted
• The Christo-centric legacy of St John Paul II in faith and morals is under systematic attack. Many of the staff of the Roman Institute for the Family have been dismissed; most students have left. The Academy for Life is gravely damaged ... some members recently supported assisted suicide. The Pontifical Academies have members and visiting speakers who support abortion. These issues have been crystallized through the Vatican trial of ten accused of financial malpractices
•  The Pope has changed the law four times during the trial to help the prosecution
• Cardinal Becciu has not been treated justly ... removed from his position and stripped of his cardinalatial dignities without trial. He did not receive due process.
• The Pope sometimes (often) rules by papal decrees (motu proprio) which eliminate the right to appeal of those affected
• Many staff, often priests, have been summarily dismissed from the Vatican Curia, often without good reason
• Phone tapping is regularly practised
• In the English case against Torzi the judge criticised the Vatican prosecutors harshly
• The raid by the Vatican Gendarmeria on the auditor's office on Italian territory was probably illegal and certainly intimidating and violent. It is possible the evidence against the auditor was fabricated
• The financial situation of the Vatican is grave. For the last three years financial deficits have been around 30 - 35 million Euros annually
• The Vatican is facing a large deficit in the Pensions Fund ... experts estimate around 800 million Euros in 2030
• It is estimated the Vatican has lost 217 million Euros on the Sloane Avenue property in London
• Through inefficiency and corruption during the past 25-30 years the Vatican has lost perhaps 150-200 million Euros
• For decades the Vatican has dealt with disreputable financiers avoided by all respectable bankers in Italy

Is this due to the Mafia, or blackmail, or both? 

• The return on the 5261 Vatican properties remains scandalously low. In 2020 it was 2900 Euros per property
• The changing role of Pope Francis in the financial reforms ... is a mystery and an enigma. He first strongly backed the reforms, then prevented the centralisationof investments, opposed the reforms and most attempts to unveil corruption, and supported Becciu. Then in 2020 he turned on Becciu. The external auditors were dismissed and the Auditor General was forced to resign on trumped-up charges. They were coming too close to the corruption in the Secretariat of State
• The political influence of Pope Francis and the Vatican is negligible. Intellectually papal writings demonstrate a decline from the standard of St John Paul II and Pope Benedict
• There have been grave failures to support human rights in Venezuela, Hong Kong, mainland China and now in the Russian invasion
• There has been no public support for the loyal Catholics in China persecuted for their loyalty to the papacy for over 70 years and no public support for the Catholic community in Ukraine
• The position of Tridentine traditionalists should be regularised
• The celebration of individual Masses in St Peter's Basilica should be permitted once again. The Basilica is now like a desert in the early morning
• The Covid crisis has covered up the large decline in the number of pilgrims attending papal audiences and Masses
• The Holy Father has little support among seminarians and young priests and widespread disaffiliation exists in the Vatican Curia
• The College of Cardinals has been weakened by eccentric nominations and not been reconvened since 2014
• After Vatican II Catholic authorities underestimated the hostile power of secularisation, the world, the flesh and the devil
• Many factors are beyond our control in the short term at least, e g decline in number of believers, frequency of Mass attendance, the demise or extinction of many religious orders. 

The new pope must understand that the secret of Catholic vitality comes from fidelity to the teachings of Christ and Catholic practices, not from adapting to the world or from money.The first tasks of the new pope will be to restore normality, doctrinal clarity in faith and morals, a proper respect for the law, and ensure that the first criterion for the nomination of bishops is acceptance of the apostolic tradition If the synodal gatherings continue around the world they will consume much time and energy, probably distracting energy from evangelisation and service

If the national or continental synods are given doctrinal authority we will have a new danger to Church unity e g the German church holds doctrinal views not shared by other Churches and not compatible with the apostolic tradition.  If there were no Roman contradiction of such heresy, the Church would be reduced to a lcoose federation of local Churches holding different views, probably closer to an Anglican or Protestant model.

An early priority for the next pope must be to require unity in essentials and not permitting unacceptable doctrinal differences. The morality of homosexual activity will be one such flash point. 

While younger clergy and seminarians are almost completely orthodox, sometimes quite conservative, the new pope will need to be aware of the substantial changes in Church leadership since 2013. There is a new spring in the step of the Protestant liberals in the Catholic Church.

Schism is not likely to occur from the left who often sit lightly to doctrinal issues. Schism is more likely to come from the right. Unity in the essentials, Diversity in the non-essentials. Charity on all issues. 

Serious consideration should be given to a visitation on the Jesuit Order. They are in catastrophic decline from 36,000 during the Council to fewer than 16,000 in 2017 (with probably 20-25% over 75 years of age. In some places there is catastrophic moral decline.

The disastrous decline in Catholic numbers and Protestant expansion in South America should be addressed. It was scarcely mentioned at the Amazonian Synod.

Steps will (need to) be taken to separate the Vatican from criminal accomplices and balance revenue and expenditure. Continuing financial pressures ... are much less important than the spiritual and doctrinal threats facing the Church, especially in the First World.

And as a footnote, the next time you attend a tangi, before you bow your head in the karakia at the words Atua Mo Ake Mo Ake, reflect on their meaning: To the gods for ever and ever.
