BERGOGLIO BEGS PARDON FOR EVANGELISING

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or Twitter.



'Pope Francis' plays dress-ups



Behold: the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, the Vicar of Christ on earth, Successor of the Prince of Apostles, playing cowboys and Indians.

What would Antipope Bergoglio not do, for a photo opp? What is there left for him to do, to convince Novus Ordo-ites that he's a fake? Murder his mother with an axe?

The hopelessly woke Cathnews fawns over Bergoglio, who dresses up his latest junket - to Canada - as 'a penitential pilgrimage'. Cathnews calls his latest drivel as 'an impassioned apology'. Cathnews is once again indulging in papolatry. 

And why was he apologising? (Going by the pix it was more like grovelling.) It's all about the hubbub caused in May 2021 by the 'discovery of a mass grave' at a residential school administered by the Catholic Church, later proven to be perfectly normal children's graves, just unmarked. 

Bergoglio would have us believe that the resulting international brouhaha was caused because "
believers 
imposed their own cultural models".In other words, they evangelised, just as Jesus Christ tells them to ("Going therefore, teach ye all nations"- Mt 28:19).

Another howler: the indigenous church he attended is "open and inclusive, just as the Church should be". This from the shepherd who by cancelling the Traditional Latin Mass has whipped millions of the faithful out of the fold where they were fed and into the cold of the Novus Ordo. 

 
Apologising - or grovelling? 



Anyway, let's allow Michael Matt of the Remnant to tell the story, in his own inimitable way: 

 

Pope Francis and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are engaged in a multi-million-dollar publicity stunt against the Catholic Church’s “abusive, colonialist, and culture-suppressing” missionary activity in Canada.

This fake news must not go unchecked!

In this week’s Remnant Underground, we have put together sort of a minidocumentary on the Residential Schools in Canada that I hope -- whether you’re Catholic or not -- you will appreciate as a blow against woke revisionist history.

Please help me spread this video far and wide as this Pachamama Road Show seeks to exploit indigenous peoples to push a new Woke Order, the success of which depends on a thoroughly discredited Christian Old World Order.  

Francis positions himself as a fierce critic of fake news, and yet right now, as I demonstrate in my new Remnant Underground, he’s participating in what Professor Thomas Flanagan of the University of Calgary calls the “biggest piece of fake news in Canada that I have ever seen.”   (Spoiler Alert: There's no evidence of ANY mass graves outside Residential Schools in Canada.)

I have not left the testimony of indigenous people themselves out of this report -- those who actually attended the Residential Schools.  I focus on the witness of men such as Tomson Highway, for example,  the full-blooded Cree and world-famous Canadian musician and author, who insists the attack on the Residential Schools is fake news reportage.

Mr. Highway hails the schools and the Catholic priests and nuns for having educated him, taught him to speak English, and taught him how to play the piano – which launched his career as a world-renowned concert pianist.

We cannot allow Francis and Trudeau to get away with this Great Reset-advancing publicity stunt!

Also in this video: What about Francis’s alleged coverups of sexual abusers such as Fr. Julio Cesar Grassi and Bishop Gustavo Osar Zanchetta? Francis covered for them… and now they’re in jail.

Who’s going to apologize to the victims for Francis’s role in those coverups?

Please help me bring this man to justice, especially now as he seeks to divert attention from his own behavior by besmirching the reputations of hero priests and nuns of the past who can no longer defend themselves. 

 

Jesus Christ was a Hebrew, not an Indian

 


Please watch and especially SHARE this crucially timely video, and together let’s expose the fake news that is Justin Trudeau and Pope Francis’s “Pilgrimage of Repentance”.

Enough already!

+CULLINANE'S MASS: NO CROSS, NO CALVARY, NO CHRIST

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB or Messenger. 




"Why persecute us?" Bishop Peter Cullinane's diabolical, freemasonic attack on the Latin Mass in CathNews raises the question Christ asked of Saul on the way to Damascus.  

In Cullinane's 'Liturgical misunderstandings and superficialty', where is the Cross? Where is Calvary? Where is Christ? He is ignored and abused. But for Traditional Latin Massgoers suffering with Him is a blessing unto eternal life.

Antipope Bergoglio&Co persecute Latin Massgoers for one reason only: to drive us into the Novus Ordo, where eventually the words of Consecration will be changed and the Mass will be gone, leaving only a Protestant, pachamama pretence. 


T
he cross is missing from Cullinane's Mass because Protestants and Freemasons dislike it. The "stumbling block" (I Cor 1:23) which is "Christ crucified" must now be preached and lived by Traditional Latin Massgoers, deprived of their Eucharistic Lord, whom +Cullinane calls - intending to insult - 'disabled people' or 'infants'. He inadvertently pays us a compliment; he evidently forgets that it's only "little children" (Mt 18:3) who will "enter the kingdom of heaven" (Mt 18:3).

Let's take 'Liturgical Misunderstandings and Superficiality Part II' point by point, shall we?

  • Until the cataclysm of Vatican II, the Mass didn't 'change'. It developed organically. Vat II - whether the council itself or its intended or unintended ambiguities and loopholes - changed the liturgy beyond recognition.
  • 'The Mass St Justin knew would live on in the revised missal ... promulgated after the Council of Trent.' The bishop means to say that St Justin's Mass would live on in the revised missal,and he's right. BUT the Council of Trent was a dogmatic council, meaning that Pius V's Mass was promulgated as dogma which cannot be changed, because it's truth - which never changes.  
  • 'That Mass' (Pius V's) lives on 'in the revised missal promulgated ... after the Second Vatican Council'. Rather than say that's a lie, in charity let's call it wishful thinking..
  •  '(B)oth Missals have resulted from revisions of previous texts'. That's stating the obvious and saying precisely nothing.
  • 'Was the 1962 Missal “abrogated”? the bishop asks - and answers himself, 'No, but that only means it was not annulled.  'ONLY ??? That word, 'only' means the 1962 Missal was neither annulled nor abrogated.
  • 'It can still be validly used when the Pope authorises it to meet special needs.' The bishop implies that the Mass of Ages is valid only for the simple-minded and geriatric. Quite apart from his patronising condescension, he's assuming that Bergoglio is pope. That's a mistaken assumption. The true Pope - Benedict XVI - gave permission for the Latin Mass, and Antipope Bergoglio (even if he were legit) has no authority to override the permission given in Summorum Pontificum:

Art 1.  The Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI is the ordinary expression of the lex orandi (rule of prayer) of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite.  The Roman Missal promulgated by Saint Pius V and revised by Blessed John XXIII is nonetheless to be considered an extraordinary expression of the same lex orandi of the Church and duly honoured for its venerable and ancient usage. These two expressions of the Church’s lex orandi will in no way lead to a division in the Church’s lex credendi (rule of faith); for they are two usages of the one Roman rite.

It is therefore permitted to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass following the typical edition of the Roman Missal, which was promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962 and never abrogated, as an extraordinary form of the Church’s Liturgy/

Art. 2.  In Masses celebrated without a congregation, any Catholic priest of the Latin rite... may use either the Roman Missal published in 1962 by Blessed Pope John XXIII or the Roman Missal promulgated in 1970 by Pope Paul VI.  ...   the priest needs no permission from the Apostolic See or from his own Ordinary.

So, dear priests who love the Latin Mass: celebrate it! Obey God, not Bergoglio! The Dark Lord of Mordor aka Cardinal John Dew doesn't have to know about it.

Art. 3.  If communities of Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, whether of pontifical or diocesan right, wish to celebrate the ... Mass... according to the 1962... Missal, they are permitted to do so. 

Art. 4.  The celebrations of Holy Mass mentioned above in Art. 2 may be attended also by members of the lay faithful.

But in the Land of Mordor they'd have to be very discreet members of the lay faithful. Close-mouthed, you might say. 

Art. 5. (W)here a group of the faithful attached to the previous liturgical tradition stably exists, the parish priest should willingly accede to their requests to celebrate Holy Mass according to the 1962 Missal.

Logically then, the bishop should willingly accede also. But in the case of St Columba's Ashhurst, Cardinal Dew refused to do so.

Art. 3. (T)he pastor should allow celebrations in this extraordinary form also in special circumstances such as marriages, funerals or occasional celebrations.

One might enquire, if the Latin Mass were permitted so freely by Pope Benedict XVI, why do Bergoglio&Co want to exterminate it? 

Because the Traditional Latin (Tridentine) Mass has turned out far too popular. It;s the stumbling block par excellence: the TLM is the only threat to establishment of the New World Church which Bergoglio is bidden by his puppetmasters to build.

  • 'Pope Paul VI made it clear that the revised form of the Missal replaced the unrevised form.' Obviously it wasn't clear to Pope Benedict XVI.

  • '(T)he Second Vatican Council’s reform had at its disposal up-dated scholarship.' Hah! Unfortunately that 'scholarship' is necessarily muddied by modernist post-Vat II thought flowing through it.

  • 'According to Pope Paul VI, the Council intended to make it easier for people to see the meaning of the various parts of the Mass and the connection between them, and easier for people to participate.' See how the Mass has been dumbed-down? How many professionals and academics still attend the Novus Ordo? Hmmm? And how is it easier to 'see the meaning of the various parts ... and the connection between them' when almost all the rubrics have been tossed? What are priests actually required to DO in the Novus Ordo? Very little - and there are hordes of middle-aged women dying to do it for them.

  • '(T)he revised Missal expects that most of the congregation will be receiving Holy Communion.' How can a shepherd of the flock calmly contemplate this state of play, when tragically it means that many - most scandalously at funerals -  because they are ignorant are receiving Holy Communion sacrilegiously, in a state of mortal sin.

  • '(F)ull, conscious and active participation...' Yes, Bp Cullinane is still banging on about that odorous red herring. For the bishop and his ilk, attending Mass means doing something. Anything, as it turns out, in many Masses. Worshipping lions, anyone? Pole-dancing? Blessing the congregation with a guitar?


  • Hinduisation of the Mass in India



  •  (A)cting as ”one body, one spirit in Christ” does not mean we should be regimented like an army platoon. It means sharing in the Spirit of Christ who abides in us - which means actually possessing that Spirit, which means being IN A STATE OF GRACE, which means confessing our sins. 

  • The priest’s role is still special.' Oh, how dismissive. Bishop Cullinane, lift your game! The priest's role is SO special, there would be no Mass without him. The priest is called to be mediator between God and men, and therefore superior to them in sanctity - although all men are called to perfection (not that Novus Ordo-ites would know it.  A PP was once heard to ask rhetorically, in a 'homily', "Who says we have to be perfect?" A certain reader of this blog had to be restrained from answering.)

St John Vianney, the Curé of Ars

  • 'The way we relate to people who have “gathered in his name” is different from the ways we relate to people who have gathered for social occasions.' Tell that, bishop, to parents who attend 'school Masses'.

  • For the Eucharistic Prayer the bishop unwillingly concedes that kneeling is 'laudable', but still insists on our being counted “worthy to stand in Your presence”. Does the bishop really think that Catholics who haven't confessed their sins for months or years are worthy to stand in God's presence? The fact is, Christ Himself appears on the altar (actually downgraded to a table) and the only fitting response for those whose knees still work (perhaps because they're regularly exercised) is to go down on them and adore our crucified Lord.

    Why insist that that people should stand? Because kneeling is the instinctive reaction to the Divine Presence, and Bergoglio&Co, driven by the spite of the devil, want to eliminate the Divine and all evidence of It.

    "If people who have been kneeling for a thousand years suddenly get to their feet, they do not think, “We’re doing this like the early Christians, who stood for the Consecration”; they are not aware of returning to some particularly authentic form of worship. They simply get up, brush the dust from their trouser-legs and say to themselves: “So it wasn’t such a serious business after all”: Martin Mosebach in Heresy of Formlessness,


  • 'Nor are ‘altar’ and ‘table’ conflicting concepts' (tell that to the Marines) 'as the table shape of the altar in meant to remind us.' Que? 

  • '(H)ygiene aimed at preventing the spread of potentially fatal infections is a matter of moral duty towards ourselves and others.' Well, gee, your Excellency, the common flu is a potentially fatal infection but hand-washing is the only hygiene historically required to prevent it. 
     
  • The homily is to help us recognise how God is involved in our lives .... what God is doing.  A sermon is more about what we should be doing ... we also need to know that, but not all our learning can be loaded on to the homily.'  Even just a little bit would help, your Excellency. 

  • 'Constant moralising can lead to over-anxiety for people already harassed by the struggles of living.' Most of the struggles of living are caused by people not knowing how to live. It's the priest's job to tell them. A good sermon is not 'moralising''; it raises our gaze to God and His glory.

  • ‘…(A)lways to be kept in mind is the preservation of that freedom, envisaged by the new rubrics, to adapt the celebration in an intelligent manner to the church building, or to the group of faithful who are present': so why not freedom to kneel for the Eucharistic Prayer without having to swivel and crane our necks to see the sacred Host rather than a frill pretending to be a skirt, around the waist of a teen standing in front of us?   

  • 'The tabernacle and reserved Sacrament are not part of the Mass. This is why the Church’s preference is for the tabernacle to be located in a separate space within the church, suitable for the devotion due to the Blessed Sacrament'. Yes, that's the Novus Ordo Church's preference all right. It was never the preference for all the centuries preceding Vat II. It's the Novus Ordo effect: hide Our Lord away, make it as difficult as possible for visitors to find Him. How often do you find visitors in that 'separate space within the church'? They're nearly always empty. The tabernacle is God's physical earthly home. Almighty God resides within it. It should be as beautiful as we can make it. Stepping into any church should be like stepping into heaven and how can it be heaven if God is not there?

Did you know that a papal document - Antipope Bergoglio's Evangelii Gaudium 161- says that love of neighbour is the first and greatest commandment? 

Like Bishop Cullinane's church, Bishop Cullinane's Mass has a separate space for God. He is not there. Bishop Cullinane's Mass is about man, not God. 

W
hat would you think if you heard a priest preach in a homily that “According to the almost unanimous opinion of believers and unbelievers alike, all things on earth should be related to man as their center and crown”? 

What if it wasn’t from the pulpit? What if it was from the Second Vatican Council’s Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern WorldGaudium et Spes, paragraph 12? https://onepeterfive.com/why-do-people-have-a-problem-with-the-novus-ordo/

Do you realise that in the Novus Ordo we are worshipping ourselves?

Did you know that Cardinal Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) famously characterized the Novus Ordo  as a “fabrication, a banal product of the moment”?

"This change also touches the faithful. It is intended to interest each one of those present, to draw them out of their customary personal devotions or their usual torpor.

'We must prepare for this many-sided inconvenience. It is the kind of upset caused by every novelty that breaks in on our habits. We shall notice that pious persons are disturbed most, because they have their own respectable way of hearing Mass, and they will feel shaken out of their usual thoughts and obliged to follow those of others. Even priests may feel some annoyance in this respect.” -Paul VI, who was directly responsible for promulgating the Novus Ordo, implicitly acknowledged its invasive and counterintuitive nature in his general audience of November 29, 1969. In other words his Novus Ordos was a can of worms. 


"(T)hat the Novus Ordo is a matrix of possibilities that can be realized by each community according to its own ideas of what is right and fitting is not a perfection of it, but a sign of its internal incoherence, anarchy, and relativism.
"The traditional rites of the Church follow time-honored rules that require (even if they do not always guarantee) serious, reverent, orderly, and theocentric worship. The result is that anywhere I go in the world, I can walk into a traditional Latin Mass and know what I am going to see and hear. The same texts, the same gestures, the same ethos, the same Catholic religion.https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2019/01/ten-reasons-not-to-prefer-novus-ordo.html#.Yt-GenZBzgs

 

Yes: the devil delights in the Novus Ordo! Cullinane, Bergoglio&Co invite and incite a counter-revolution in the Catholic Church. St Michael, Archangel, pray for us.

SQUANDERING BILLIONS ON NEW SYNTHETIC LINGO

 To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or Twitter.





The woke Te Reo/ English hybrid language our Marxist Government is foisting on us can't even be called pidgin. And it's catching on: TvOne, RNZ - even Mobil has it all over their petrol pumps. If it weren't so horrible it would be hilarious.

So tonight, something completely different. Call us rae-shist if you will. Just bear in mind that 'racist' has acquired a new, woke meaning. 'Racist' now means simply recognising that different races are, well,  different. Or even just recognising that there are different races. That God made us differently. Deo gratias.

Hush yo' mouth!  Before someone gets offended!


Old, white, male - Denis Hall

 

New Zealanders are easily convinced of stupid things aren’t they.

The new synthetic language will never work the way they think. It will always be divisive.

It is a major plank of the spiteful Labour Green Marxist indoctrination – and some of YOU – were silly enough to vote for that last election. Maybe it would be better for your health and the health of the Nation – that next election - you stay home with your thumb in your mouth.

They (The subversive and failing Labour Green “government”) don’t seem to understand - that language is to the population like the engine is to a car. It has to run properly. It has do the job and get you to a reliable place - and enable you to ask questions and explain yourself - and people have expectations that it will work at a suitable level and be easy – and other people will understand it – or be able to decipher it - and that it will have words for everything - and that includes obscure jokes and puns.

 

Doing the News and weather in Maori – is a sad joke on all of us – including the majority of Maori who have no idea what they are talking about - not to mention all the people who are trying to learn English.

(Last night 23 July - on TV ONE'S PATHETICA NEWS - they did the majority of the weather in an extreme Maori/English hybrid.)

(Such behaviour on the part of a ‘public’ TV channel - can only be described as full on subversive political propaganda)(TVs one through four – are now gone from my dial.) (Mind you – they have been waning for a while now.)

Why would I watch that crap when I have hundreds of SKY channels and Netflix - and You Tube? I need TV one two three and four like I need AIDS.

People (well – the sensible ones) won't buy into this language nonsense unless it has evolved over time into a useful means of communication that can express a very wide range of things - and of course it hasn't - and is being made up on the fly by fanatical woolly headed extremists.

YES - EXTREMISTS! What else could they possibly be?

English – our mother tongue - is by far the most successful language on the planet. All Maori learn to speak it from birth - so for them it is in FACT - their mother tongue – and the never ending propaganda is seeking to make them ashamed of that.

Simply put - Maori language cannot ever succeed alongside that reality.

Recently coined “Te reo” - is the language of ideologues – pushing a political basket case that will never survive the medication – let alone the incubation period.

They themselves - will ALWAYS have no choice but to slip back to English to get the job – however subversive it happens to be – DONE!

But it is interesting to watch the lunatic idealists thrashing about and squandering of BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS - on a fanciful idea that we all – in our heart of hearts - know will fail.

They say they hope to achieve a situation where a large section of the population become bi-lingual.

Bilingual. What is wrong with these idiots - we are already multilingual.

We (the smart ones) have to note – that most places in the world that are bi lingual – have a feed of people coming in from a nation that speaks another language. We do have that – but the languages (plural) that they all speak – are full and comprehensive languages in DAILY USE - all over the planet – and all they want to learn is ENGLISH – as fast as possible.

They don’t want to be confused by the day’s weather being done in a language that is gobbledygook to them. They aren’t stupid – they would have learned some English before the left where they came from.

Back in the day (I recall) some people I knew were pushing a made up language called “Esperanto" and that never worked either. Even at the age of eleven that was obvious to me.

Maori Language is the world's most expensive and divisive and useless social activist already failed pipe dream. Eventually our so called 'academics' and political extremists in cushy do nothing useful Govt jobs and in Media - will figure it out – but because it generates vast sums of YOUR money and attention for them – they will take much longer than the rest of us to see the light.

(They are also in an enclosed and subversive Marxist oriented social environment – so there is no hope for them – but the rest of us just need to remember – that an “academic”” is only a University Student who passed the How-to-be-strange exam.)

We ordinary people living in the real world do know – that universities are hotbeds of useless resistance to common sense – but by the time people graduate and have to get an actual job – reality begins to set in.

Lucky for us – some of them do actually learn to be engineers and doctors of things we need. Good on them - and we hope some of them are smart enough to put the political nonsense to one side.

In the mean time – I’d quite like to learn French. That's a very beautiful – grown up - and fully evolved language – with actual BILLIONS of books written in it – that millions of people actually READ! And it will be still evolving naturally - like Italian - and German and Dutch – and Swedish – etc etc - and Chinese!

Nothing natural about the 'evolution of Maori Language - it is being forced on the population all levels of education and mass media.

It absolutely fits the definition of Brainwashing - Indoctrination and Propaganda.

Chinese is spoken around me every day and I hear it and see it all the time - and it is a highly effective language – and they speak it in labs – in daily life - and on TV stations that have an audience a million times bigger than our silly TV Stations and communication industry – and indeed they speak it in space flight – whereas here – some people might speak Maori in a canoe – or on a Marae – or when they are trying to impress someone at a get nothing done government meeting. Most people have no idea what they are talking about - but wow! - Did you hear that?

Then there are a few words at the beginning of an actual English sentence on the News – and now the Weather.

Seriously? - Do these idiots have even a vague idea how many people resent that?

The Chinese population - one of the biggest populations on the planet - use their language to succeed every day - and make billions and billions and billions in the process - but I only know three Chinese words - and my wife is Chinese.

She just want's to improve her English - and that is where our language focus is. I am VERY proud of her.

Think about that.

But guess what other language the kids are taught in China:- -> ENGLISH – a language they can use ALL OVER THE WORLD – while we waste the learning time of our kids – trying to teach them a synthetic partly Stone Age language that is being made up on the fly by extremists.

C'mon Kiwis - the nation is broke - inflation is out of control - we are governed by trailer trash. - - Isn't it time we woke up from the nightmare of delusion - and got real?

And mark my words New Zealanders – there’s this other tragedy of communication running concurrent with this language travesty.

:-> A nation that rewrites its own actual history to eliminate embarrassing stuff they don’t like – and then puts the fake history they have made up in bookshops and on the shelves in schools - and teaches it to the kids - and on Children's programs on the TV and radio as well - has ZERO integrity – and like it or not – that is us.

NEW ZEALAND IS DOING THIS!

And in that regard WE - yes WE - are emulating the very worst of the worse: Because that - is what they did in German schools in the twenties and thirties and forties.

But don’t worry folks – just continue to pretend it isn’t happening.

+CULLINANE'S ISSUE WITH THE BISHOPS

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB, Messenger or Twitter.


Bergoglio and Benedict - sometimes the mask slips



Tut tut: certain NZ bishops. it seems, are a burr under the saddle of Bishop 'Emeritus' Peter Cullinane - who still apparently believes that Antipope Bergoglio is pope and that he and sundry bishops have the power to abolish the Latin Mass.

Two things: Bergoglio is not the pope, Benedict is; and they have no such power. 

Oh, and another thing: +Cullinane seems to have no understanding of the text "That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us(Jn 17:21).

Jesus wasn't praying for coercion, for the kind of totalitarianism exhibited by Bergoglio and his bishops in forcing the faithful to accept a death-dealing, gene altering serum concocted from the remains of murdered infants.  

Our Lord was praying that all souls might be transformed by prayer (in time principally by the Traditional Latin Mass, by its silence, its reverence, its sense of awe) and the grace of contemplation the TLM engenders, transformation into "other Christs" (alteri Christi).

That, your Excellency, is how "the world" will believe it was the Father who sent Christ, not by bullying the faithful into submitting, in false obedience, to a wicked despot and his minions who are determined to cancel the one means by which the world can be saved: the Traditional Latin Mass. 

Certainly the world will not believe by the never-ending scandals of this sham pontificate - its approval and admission to Holy Communion (a sacrilege) of pseudo-Catholic politicians like babykillers Biden and Pelosi and its bestowal of favours on LGBTQ prelates like the loathsome Cardinal Cupich of Chicago whose very name (Blase) the Catholic philosopher Alice von Hildebrand says means sin, the sin of boredom. 

Do you, your Excellency, have any idea of the dislike, not to say loathing, that many good Protestants now have for 'Pope Francis'? Not having the Sacrifice of the Mass - even in its greatly enfeebled Novus Ordo form - to sanctify them, Protestants rely on Scripture and catechesis and - unlike Novus Ordo-ites who get next to nothing of that and instead are belaboured by bishops on standing versus kneeling and "the most beautiful thing this side of heaven" versus a casual free-for-all - good Protestants know a phony pope when they see one. 

In John 1:43-46, when Philip and Nathaniel "signed on", as you put it, your Excellency, they experienced Christ Himself, He Who has been deliberately obscured in the 21st century Church by men of ill will who make it their business to ensure that Jesus is no longer evident among us. That's why they invented the Novus Ordo and cancelled the Latin Mass, the Mass of Ages which for centuries made saints, priests, and converts to the Faith.  

Bishop 'Emeritus' Peter Cullinane - like Antipope Bergoglio whom even the National Catholic Register now admits is NOT the pope - parades something he calls 'unity' as an excuse for trampling underfoot the priceless treasure of the Mass of Ages.

As a reader of this blog reminds us, this is the same Bishop Cullinane who years ago tirelessly toured his Diocese of Palmerston North, cajoling and confusing the faithful in an attempt to force us all to stand for the Eucharistic Prayer. Sadly, such is the power of a bishop to persuade, that when the priest calls Almighty God down onto the table which Vat II iconoclasts ever so 'umbly insisted was good enough for Christ to die on, as He does in the August Sacrifice of the Mass, many misguided NO Massgoers still stand, rather rudely preventing those kneeling behind from seeing the Host elevated (sort of) at the Consecration.

Bp Cullinane is "sure there are some adherents of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) who think of the TLM as a kind of harmless pluralism". Bp Cullinane is only exposing his ignorance of the TLM and its adherents, or perhaps his wilful deceit. The TLM adherents who attended his 'catecheses' at St Columba's Ashhurst, to whom Bp Cullinane assures us he "listened", gave absolutely no evidence of being harmless pluralists. Rather, they were gunning for him. With passion. 

His Excellency evidently realises this. He's exercised by "an un-Catholic disregard for the Council itself .... a Council that has been explicitly endorsed by every Pope since." Ah ... that's not saying a great deal. Bring back Pius V, we say! 

"Those of us who have tried to explain the reasons for Pope Francis' Decree have been met by hard-line opposition ... not to mention derogatory attitudes towards Pope Francis himself, and disregard for his role. ... The protagonists ... are taking their cue from websites emanating from the USA." Not, note, from any blogsite in New Zealand. His Excellency would not wish to draw attention to that. 


Christ among the Pharisees
Jacob Jordaens

Your Excellency, Jesus Christ Our Lord and Master was Himself heard to express 'hard-line opposition' and 'derogatory attitudes'. He called the Pharisees (notorious hypocrites) and Sadducees (free-thinkers) a "brood of vipers" (Mt 3:7). Notorious hypocrites and free-thinkers abound in the Church today.

Bp Cullinane reckons Pope John Paul lI and Pope Benedict allowed the 1962 Missal "as a concession to special needs". Get it? Like, Latin Massgoers are decrepit or handicapped. Or both. Bp Cullinane talks about the Council (Vat II) and its "serious reasons for renewing the liturgy". You bet it had serious reasons. Like running the Catholic Church into the ground. 

"It (Vat II) would have contradicted its own intentions if it had intended the existence of a revised Missal and an unrevised Missal "in parallel," as if the renewal were merely optional."

Your Excellency, who can say what the Council's 'intentions' were? Did their 'intentions' matter? Did the Council intend that Mass be all of a sudden celebrated in the vernacular? If it did, it didn't say so. Did it intend for all the altars to be ripped out? It didn't say so. Did it intend for priests to celebrate Mass on a table with their backs to Our Lord in the tabernacle? 

Maybe not. But the loopholes were there in the Council documents (none of which,being merely pastoral, is binding); loopholes big enough to drive a Trojan horse and cart through.

Yes the Council, having employed the Freemason Bugnini to write the Novus Ordo with the help of some good Proddies, probably did intend all and exactly that. But it didn't say so. +Cullinane quotes Pope Paul VI as saying that "the revised Missal is the former Missal, in an enriched form". One needs only to follow the Novus Ordo with the 1962 Missal to realise that statement is risible to the extent that it borders on falsehood.  

"Many Catholics (read TLM Catholics)," says +Cullinane, "became stuck in a childhood understanding of the faith" ... Opportunities for adult learning about the faith were not usually available." 

You can say that again, your Excellency. They were certainly not available from the average pulpit on a Sunday morning, not after the pre-Vat II generation of priests had died. That's the Novus Ordo effect, your Excellency. One of them. It's arrested spiritual development, manifested by ignorance of the power of contemplation, the pursuit of perfection, of becoming alteri Christi.

The truth is that the Latin Mass was NEVER ABROGATED and no one on earth has the power to abrogate it. The truth is also that a Latin Mass congregation typically is bursting with life, rows of families, babies galore and THAT IS EXACTLY WHY Bishop Cullinane, Cardinal John Dew, Cardinal Cupich and their ilk want to shut it down. 

The Traditional Latin Mass is the future for the Catholic Church. Without the TLM, there will be no future. Without the TLM the future would belong to the New World Order Church and the AntiChrist of whom the Antipope Bergoglio, doing the bidding of his global puppetmasters, is the forerunner.  

One disagrees with a despot at one's peril, but in this issue the New Zealand bishops have right, and Christ - and numbers - on their side. None of them might ever get a cardinal's hat, like Dew did (and he certainly didn't get where he is today by disagreeing with despots), but they can hardly all be sacked.

NCR: BERGOGLIO'S NOT POPE

It's one thing for Church Militant to ask that question, but quite another for  NCR to say "no, he's not".



Well now. Fancy that. National Catholic Register is letting on that Pope Benedict XVI is still the Pope. "The truth will out", as Shakespeare said.

We are far too 'umble, of course, to say anything like "we told you so". But could the NCR's seemingly casual admission be the crack in the dyke of FrancisChurch - the counterfeit church of Bergoglio - that will release a flood of recognition and acknowledgment, a tide of truth cleansing the Mystical Body of Christ of all Bergoglio's falsehoods?

Will the Catholic world now rush to join a chorus of "the Emperor has no clothes"? 

 

National Catholic Register casually admits what we’ve been saying for years: Pope Benedict never resigned and is still the Pope.

So I guess now the new hotness is to freely admit that Pope Benedict never resigned the Office, only the active governance of the Church; that he believed and believes still that the Papacy is a “Fourth Level” of ordination that can never be resigned; and that Pope Benedict is, in fact, the Pope…

…while blithely ignoring the ontological and explicit canonical impossibility of calling a valid conclave while the Pope is still alive and occupying the See, and by extension the total logical absurdity of having multiple living Popes simultaneously.

How very modern. Refusing to deal with reality by pretending reality doesn’t matter. Or pretending that SUBSTANTIAL ERROR can be shrugged off with an effeminate “Meh”.

Today Canon 188, tomorrow the words of consecration of the Eucharist. “Meh.”

I’m reposting this Register piece IN FULL with screen caps for posterity, because it wouldn’t surprise me if they scrub this later today.

Obviously they didn't. 

Please KEEP PRAYING the Matthew 17:20 intention with me:

-That Bergoglio be publicly recognized and removed as Antipope and the whole Bergoglian Antipapacy be completely nullified

                -That Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger be publicly recognized as the one and only living Pope,                           uninterrupted, since April ARSH 2005, whether he likes it or not

-That Antipope Bergoglio repent, revert to Catholicism, die in the state of grace in the fullness of time and someday achieve the Beatific Vision

-And that Pope Benedict repent of whatever he might need to repent of, die in the state of grace in the fullness of time and someday achieve the Beatific Vision.

  

NEWS ANALYSIS: The Holy Father said if he stepped down, he would hear confessions and dedicate himself to the poor.

 

Pope Francis is shown with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI at the Monastery of Mater Ecclesiae in Vatican City on June 30, 2015. 


VATICAN CITY — With speculation running rife about whether Pope Francis could resign, and whether he might retire to a residence in the Vatican Gardens like Benedict XVI, it is worth analyzing what the Pope has actually said — and how this aligns with his wider project of a reform for the Roman Curia and the Catholic Church. 

Speaking with the Mexican television company Televisa, Pope Francis has made it known, once again, that he does not intend to give up the Petrine ministry. If and when he does, though, he would not take the title of pope emeritus. 

Instead, Francis would become bishop emeritus of Rome. He would hear confessions and dedicate himself to the poor. 

 

Where Benedict and Francis Think Differently

His recent comments suggest Pope Francis might go to live in the Lateran Palace, which is the seat of the pope as bishop of Rome.

In the Televisa interview, Pope Francis also discussed — in clear terms — how he thinks the office of pope emeritus should be defined and how he would interpret his own role after a possible renunciation. 

Pope Francis’ conception of the office differs from that of his predecessor: Benedict XVI decided to accept the title of pope emeritus and to continue wearing white, although without la pellegrina, which is the white mantle symbolizing episcopal authority.

Benedict XVI defined the terms of his resignation in his last general audience as pope on Feb. 27, 2013: “There can no longer be a return to the private sphere. My decision to resign the active exercise of the ministry does not revoke this. I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences, and so on. I am not abandoning the cross, but remaining in a new way at the side of the crucified Lord. ”

 

Does One Stay Pope Forever?

In practice, Benedict XVI distinguished between the munus and the officium, that is, between the function and the exercise of the function. Once elected pope, he remains pope forever.

In a certain sense, Benedict XVI equated the election as pope with a further episcopal ordination. German theologian Karl Rahner, who emphasized that the power of order and the power of jurisdiction were indissociable, had come to consider the primacy conferred with the election as pope as the highest degree of the sacrament of orders. According to this criterion, the beginning of the pope's Petrine ministry would represent a unique ordination.

Pope Francis, however, plans to be bishop emeritus of Rome. He would no longer have the Petrine primacy and therefore would return to work in public life as a confessor and likely also reside in the Lateran Palace.

This role was outlined by Father Gianfranco Ghirlanda, canonist and soon-to-be cardinal (at the August consistory), in an essay from 2013 republished by Civiltà Cattolica.

 

Seeking a Reform That Works

Father Ghirlanda’s essay offers many observations on the role of a pope emeritus, starting with the fact that ordination and authority are distinct from one another. The issue is a fundamental one and came up during the reform of the Roman Curia when laypeople were allowed to take up positions in the Curia departments.

If that is the standard, episcopal ordination is no longer a prerequisite for authority, much less collegiality with the pope, who is also a bishop.

In his statements, Pope Francis seems to be intending not to separate munus and officium. One ceases with the cessation of the other, and whoever renounces them returns to their previous life.

Will this be the reform that is announced for the office of pope emeritus? It is possible, certainly. The extent to which a bishop emeritus of Rome can influence the life of the Church will also require definition. By the admission of Pope Francis himself, everything in recent years has worked for the extraordinary character of Benedict XVI. But would it work the same with another pope emeritus?
