BISHOPS OF THE WORLD RESIST POPE TO HIS FACE

Opposition mounts by the hour in the Catholic world to the latest blasphemy from the pen of non-Catholic Jorge Mario Bergoglio, impostor pope, in his more than usually egregious Fiduces Supplicans.

No, he (or ghost-writer Cardinal 'Tucho' Fernandez - another Jesuit) doesn't change Church doctrine. Not outright. He can't. And he's too clever by half. He dresses up this vicious deed as virtue - as the devil always does, when persuading us to evil. So naive and faithless bishops and priests will fall for it (as they are in the US, led by the boring Bishop Barron), and in the end will fall into hell for it.

He admits the "possibility" of blessing "irregular" unions, which are happening already, all over the globe - even in Palmerston North Diocese New Zealand, under former bishop Charles Drennan - and goes all around the houses dragging the red herring of difference between 'liturgical' and 'non-liturgical' blessings. As if God would bless sodomy, in any way whatsoever.

RESIST! Deo gratias! This time of persecution in the Church is the moment for martyrdom: white martyrs now, but likely red martyrs in the not too distant future. 

Read Cardinal Fernández' attempt at self-justification in this interview by The Pillar:

a Same-sex blessing ‘does not validate or justify anything’ (highlight and follow the link).

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò (a latter-day Marcel Lefebvre) says the Vatican’s newly approved blessings for homosexual ‘couples’ show that the ‘Bergoglian hierarchy’ are ‘servants of Satan and his most zealous allies.’ https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/abp-vigano-bergoglios-approval-of-blessings-for-homosexual-couples-shows-he-is-a-servant-of-satan/?utm_source=daily-usa-2023-12-

And from OnePeterFive: 

 "But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed" (Gal. ii. 11)

Brethren in Christ, we are living in the glorious times of the saints! This is an awesome time to be a Catholic. Let us thank Almighty God that He has chosen us to live in this dark time, in order to call us to take up the mantle of all of our forefathers and lay down our lives for the Faith.

After ten years of this pontificate, in which the worldwide episcopacy has been mostly asleep (with a few happy exceptions!), this latest action seems to have awoken more bishops to oppose Pope Francis than ever before. Here we will review all that have made statements thus far who either condemn the document and/or prohibit blessing “same-sex couples” or in some other way oppose this document. (Credit to LifeSite for much of their commentary on these statements).

So far we have bishops taking a stand from Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. Let us continue to pray for more to stand up for the sake of the Faith and the salvation of souls.

Clicking on a country, group or name will yield the official episcopal statements in the original languages or official English translations as well as English commentary as necessary (giving credit as much as possible to the original source of publication). Also noted are a few instances of opposing Francis indirectly, while prohibiting blessings of what the document calls “same-sex couples.”

This Saturday I am going on retreat for Christmas and will not return until the 9th Day of Christmas. At that time I hope we can update this list to include every continent and many more bishops, priests, and other organisations!

Above all, let us pray for the poor souls who are afflicted with same-sex attraction, since they are the greatest victims of this assault on the Faith. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Arrival at the Inn in Bethlehem

                               by Joseph von Führich

But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days” (Micah 5:2).
