"A satanic, luciferian religion." How do Catholics feel about the description of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church dumped by a reader on this page yesterday? But the increasingly anti-Christic, demonic manoeuvres of the Bergoglian sect in the Vatican make it sound fair enough and faithful Catholics should withdraw their financial support, forthwith.
The notorious Jesuit Father Marko Rupnik. who sexually abused 20 nuns, criminally misused the sacrament of confession and desecrated a chalice with his bodily fluids, is now sheltering in a convent in Montefiola near Rome, its nuns having been evicted. Rupnik has evaded sanctions for the canonical offence of absolving an accomplice in a sin against the Sixth Commandment and is still a priest in good standing. How has he got away with it?
Well, you know, as Cardinal Victor Fernandez explains, his Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) is dealing with “more serious” cases that are “less publicized.”Good grief. The mind boggles.
And Fr Rupnik has a godfather: Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, former Vicar General of His Holiness for the Diocese of Rome and now Major Penitentiary.

It is no secret that the Cardinal is Rupnik's great protector, and that in illo tempore he dismissed as slander the numerous and detailed accusations that emerged against the former Slovenian Jesuit, even going so far as to issue a ridiculous note praising the impeccable reality of the Aletti Centre, while Rupnik's victims demanded truth and justice.Moreover, De Donatis is at home in Montefiolo, where he has built a two-storey house on the nuns' property. ...In the nearby village of Poggio Catino, the Cardinal also owns a former farmhouse with a swimming pool, where it seems he had accommodated Rupnik & Co. until they could be incorporated into Montefiolo.
The result is that the Cardinal is the director of the new arrangement that permits Rupnik and the small group that left the Society of Jesus to occupy a property that does not belong to him, but in which he has made a home and which he manages as if it were his own. Since he himself was unable to incardinate Rupnik in the diocese of Rome, which was certainly too much in the limelight after the media scandal, a bishop was sought and found in Monsignor Jurij Bizjak (noe replaced by Peter Štumpf), who was willing to perform a purely formal incardination and then let Rupnik form a new community and continue his artistic activities.
Above all, De Donatis had no objection to putting Rupnik back in direct contact with nuns after all that had come to light. https://newdailycompass.com/en/rupnik-and-his-companions-occupy-convent-near-rome-cardinal-de-donatis-is-director
Meanwhile, Father Jesusmary Missigbètò is expelled from the priesthood for upholding Catholic doctrine against the heresies of Jorge Bergoglio.
*We need to rediscover the sense of punishment. A priest who commits a mistake must be punished. This is a manifestation of charity toward him, because it allows him to correct himself and to do penance. But it is also justice for the Christian people. A priest who fails to be chaste must receive a punishment.* *Canon law (canon 1340)* foresees many ways of correcting. He should be sent, for a definite period of time, to do penance in a monastery. *Under the guise of mercy, guilty priests have just been moved geographically, even in tragic cases of pedophile acts. This damages the credibility of the whole Church.* *It is urgently necessary to rediscover the meaning of the penal law.* Who knows how many priestly souls could have been saved if there had been an attempt to correct them before something irreparable had been committed? —Robert Cardinal Sarah.
Before long, De Donatis and Fernandez will be among those voting in conclave to elect a new pope. Only the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, won over by faithful Catholics' fervent prayer and sacrifice, can deliver us from the post-Vatican II, Novus Ordo Synodal Bergoglian sect and restore to us the Mystical Body of Christ and his true Vicar on earth - a holy pope.
The Italian website La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana broke a story March 3 (linked below) claiming that Marko Rupnik and his Centro Aletti confreres are moving into a convent in Montefiola, northeast of Rome. According to the report, the nuns currently there are being evicted.
The website claims the whole process most likely enjoys the support of Cardinal Angelo de Donatis, formerly Vicar General of Rome (the Pope’s delegate to run his diocese) and now Major Penitentiary (the cardinal who heads the Church’s “internal forum” work, i.e., administration of the sacrament of Penance). Many regard de Donatis as a long Rupnik protector.
Predator but papal-pet Rupnik has long managed to evade sanctions for the canonical offense of absolving an accomplice in a sin against the Sixth Commandment. The Jesuits managed to wash their hands of him by expelling him for disobedience (kind of like getting thrown out of the Anglican Church for heresy).
Free-agent Rupnik then got incardinated in a Slovenian diocese, with what looks like the understanding that he’d never actually be expected to serve there. (See how far you’d get with an American bishop, telling him you’d like to serve God’s people in a college or university rather than a parish setting!)
Not actually expected to live in Slovenia, he’s now apparently gotten mountaintop digs not-too-far-but-far-enough from Rome to continue Aletti-style business as usual, seemingly with the indulgence of a cardinal protector. Meanwhile, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (under revised norms that exempt its Prefect (Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández - ed), (another papal-pet, from disciplinary work) grinds on with its investigation which, prolonged enough, might yet produce the magic “McCarrick effect” — everybody who knew anything is dead and anybody alive knew nothing!
Vaticanistas report that Rupnik’s “false mysticism” is apparently not a clear-enough charge for canonical punishment; only canonists would cavil about whether a priest who is a member of a religious order once deemed the papacy’s intellectual shock troops and spiritual marines who talked a nun into a sexual tryst as a mystical spiritual experience might be criminally sinful enough to discipline him.
I raise all these points in light of a letter published February 26 by the Dicastery for the Interpretation of Legislative Texts (here) about the “good name” of “credibly accused” priest sexual predators, especially dead ones. With the usual Vatican “transparency,” the letter’s addressee is unspecified nor is there any explanation why the document written September 5, 2024 suddenly saw the light of day almost half a year later. Being part of Francis’s Roman Curia means never having to explain things.

Perhaps it is a coincidence that the letter came out just as the new Rupnik story is surfacing. More to the point, however, is: Should we perhaps question the letter’s arguments?
Let’s draw some clear methodological lines. This letter is a legal document, a response to a legal inquiry about what provisions of the Code of Canon Law require in such instances. As such, it is an interpretation of a positive law and at least theoretically distinct from the moral questions it implicates concerning good name, detraction, calumny, and transparency.
Whether it should be so distinct is another question, but this pontificate has tended to wield the cudgel of canon law as both its weapon and shield irrespective of how well or ill the law serves good theology. Canon law should be rooted in and serve good theology; whether it has, particularly in recent years, is an independent question.
I write as a moral theologian and I will admit I am researching the logic behind what the Church teaches about good name, detraction, and calumny. I do so precisely because I think too many clerics, including far too many hierarchs, have taken refuge behind “detraction” and “good name” to justify both their negligence about and cover up of priestly sexual predators, especially homosexual ones.

This Holy See has tended to blow hot and cold on eradicating clerical sexual predation. Public accusations of abuse are met with criticisms of “detraction” and the need to “preserve the good name” of the accused. Those criticisms, of course, do not address why people go public, i.e., because they do not trust the Church’s clergy to conduct a timely and fair judgment in a closed, confidential setting.
And, given the drip-drip-drip of sexual abuse cases bedeviling the Church since Boston 2002 and especially post-l’affaire McCarrick, no honest man should blame those people for their incredulity.
The Dicastery’s letter seems to come from a make-believe world in which (i) neither Boston 2002, the McCarrick affair, nor widespread civil prosecutions in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Australia, and France happened; (ii) social and secular media reporting about accusations of sexual abuse can be pretended neither to exist nor to have been usually the first cause in exposing this sinful rot; (iii) Catholics will generously suspend judgment pending “proof — judicial — to the contrary and definitive” (i.e., presumably a final and unappealable verdict); and (iv) the Church’s own credibility is not at stake. Earth to Bishops Iannone and Arrieta: That make-believe world ends at the boundary of the Vatican City State.

Rome appears to nurture a deep-seated belief that the only party with rights to a good name here are accused clergy. That’s just not true. The Church also has rights: rights to be credible in holding to account clergy whose sexual abuse makes a mockery of that Church and its priesthood.
And when that abuse acquires the dimensions it has today, it seems that the full measure of a “legitimate and proportionate” reason for open talk was long ago filled: the Church also has a right and duty to be transparent so that her sons and daughters — especially her minor sons and daughters — can feel safe in the presence of an ordained person.
If the Church does not attend to that right and duty, the civil authority will. Nor is attending to that right and duty merely a way of avoiding civil entanglement. The civil authority may not divert prosecutorial resources to convict or exonerate dead people (a key theme of the Dicastery’s letter) but that does not mean that conviction or exoneration should be ignored, suspended ad infinitum. That is the Church’s job, both as regards the accused who were her ministers as well as the alleged victims who were/are her sons and daughters.
In a normal society, most accusations sooner or later become public. The Dicastery’s vision seems to be that is some kind of injustice. An accusation is not proof, much less conviction; but neither is it nothing. The accusation exists.

Rome’s mindset seems to be people should pretend it does not until it is fully and irreversibly adjudicated. Not only is that not realistic, it is not to the Church’s good, since experience shows it enables the possibility of a culture of cover-up. And, arguably, a case can be made that it is not absolutely morally required.
No doubt this mindset of not having to acknowledge anything until it is at least canonically inevitable and indisputable serves to shield against having to explain what might be going on atop Montefiola and who is involved in those goings-on.
Until that mindset is gone, the Church’s behavior in matters of sexual abuse and its cover-up will be suspect and legitimately so. And if the Church won’t clean up its act legally, its faithful may force it to by starving it financially. Hitting Rome in the pocketbook usually has a salutary effect in fixing its attention on the essentials. But one shouldn’t become a “poor Church of the poor” in order to protect abusers.

ReplyDeleteI want to know how a church went from being strictly against contriception and pre marital sex to pro homosexuality and pro abortion.
Holly Wood a good question, and a huge one. The Church's position on contraception and re-marital sex, homosexuality and abortion has not changed.
DeleteThe Modernist Bergoglians in the Vatican have tried to change doctrine on those issues and the media have promoted Francis flat out, because he wants to please the world.. Which just goes to show, once more, that he is not the pope and never has been, because the teachings of Christ and His Church cannot and will not be changed to suit the world.
But as he is not the pope and so has no authority, any changes he attempts to make to Church doctrine are null and void. We await a holy pope who will formalise that fact.
ReplyDeleteNothing has changed

Dit Hannan no, nothing has changed in reality, in regard to the teachings of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. But what this post reveals is the attempted hi-jacking of the Church by freemasonic globalists who have infiltrated the highest reaches of the Vatican and installed an antipope - who will one day be declared as such by the Church.

I, and others, from divine revelation, knew from 2010 on, that the next 'pope' was to be the False Prophet of Revelation.. there was a coup in the Vatican .. the free mas onic comm un ist pedo files.. have infiltration the Church, including the prot estant churches.. he was NOT canonically elected.. so for a time we had both an illegal '[pope' And president... keep praying and fasting...

ReplyDeleteJail 2 good
ReplyDeleteNo need to get all tangled up with this they are all answerable to God for their actions and wrong doings
ReplyDeleteIt doesnt matter what we think of sinners. What matters is our focus on God and our faith that the Holy Spirit will clean the Catholic Church when the time is right. Stop trying to form your own values from the behavior of sinners and instead allow the Church, the Magistetium, and Scripture to form your values with the Holy Spirit.
John Darveaux thank you. Can you explain what you mean by forming my 'own values from the behaviour of
Deletesinners', please?
DeleteJulia du Fresne it means that if you allow others falling in sin to distract you, you lose the focus on what's more important which is the fact that God is in control and will clean the church when the time is right. Do you think this is the first time troubled individuals had positions of power in the Church? Wrong. The church has survived far worse than pope Francis because it has the Eucharist that encapsulated the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus.
DeleteJohn Darveaux far from being a distraction, exposing the sins of the Bergoglian hierarchy is part and parcel of my apostolate as a Catholic journalist. It's my job to warn my brothers and sisters in Christ of wolves disguised as sheep - of foxes in the henhouse.
Please go to juliadufresne.blogspot.com
https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/.../how-st-bernard...
for example, for mention of antipopes who preceded Bergoglio. But I don't know of any that were worse than he.
But of course you are right to say that the Church will survive him, as it has survived others.
ReplyDeleteMakes one ashamed to be a Catholic these days.
Douglas Wood yes, it's hard to bear - so it's a cross, and Catholics know it's only by carrying our cross after Christ that we save our souls. Carrying this one with love is a great grace and it's why we're told that this age will bear fruits of great sanctity. Deo gratias.

ReplyDeleteMy prayers forthcoming into my rosary for a thorough ousting and cleansing of the Vatican swamp just like Trump is doing with DC! YES WE CAN!!! With our rosaries! 📿 Damn the devil to hell and his minions. Let’s Make Catholicism (Vatican) Holy Again. This spurs me on to fight against the demoniacs who have infiltrated Holy Mother Church but Justice shall prevail in God’s Timing. We have the victory through the body, blood 🩸 soul & divinity of our beloved Saviour and Son of Almighty God our Father. Onward Catholic soldiers FIGHT! FIGHT!FIGHT!!!!
ReplyDeleteSt Padre Pio & St Joan of Arc pray for us
ReplyDeleteIt won't be a "new pope" but the son of Satan himself, the end time antiChrist "GOG" will be installed to rule over the world and all religions just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. All enemies of Christ will go head first into the abyss (per Revelation 20 (New Jerusalem Bible). GOG and MAGOG will be the first to fall in. Do NOT follow them! Pray that their plans will be thwarted by God the Father through the Precious Blood of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary! On October 15, 2013 Jesus warned us: "My dearly beloved daughter, it is My desire that all of My priests, in every Christian denomination, begin to preserve the Most Holy Sacraments. Those in the Catholic Church will be the first to witness the destruction and desecration of the Sacraments. Those who are loyal to Me, Jesus Christ, will prepare diligently for this terrible wilderness into which My Church will be plunged.
You must prepare now, because it will be through your allegiance that all of God’s children will be able to receive the Sacraments in their holy state.
To all other Christian churches I say this. Remind yourselves of My Promise to come again on the Great and Glorious Day of My Second Coming. Know too, that in the years leading up to this, that all those who follow Me will face terrible trials. Those who will succeed to new positions of power, within all your denominations, will be led by the false prophet and all will mouth his words and copy his actions.
Woe to those who side with the false prophet for he is the antithesis of John the Baptist and will be the precursor of the antichrist who will rule over all of you.
You will be protected by Me, for soon I will be all you have to guide you. Only I can be trusted to tell you the Truth when you will be swayed by the heresies, which will be presented to you as the new form of modern Christian theology. How cunning is Satan, for he will never shock – instead he will, through those who serve him – draw you towards a new twisted, back-to-front interpretation of My Most Holy Word.
The plans have been drawn up, by the unholy trinity, where all that is True will be banished. All that appeals to the secular world, when human greed and desire to ignore sin, will be presented, through all Christian Churches, to the faithful. This day has been written in stone and will be the final insult, allowed by God, before He sends Me, His only Son, to gather all those who remain true to the Word of God. When the lies are presented to you, they will appear to be a good thing. The badge of humility will be common in all of your churches, as it will be adopted by those among them who will deceive you.
Every trait, associated with Me – My Love for the impoverished; My Love for the weak and humble; My disapproval of greed, avarice and lust, will be used as part of the arguments used to force you to accept this new doctrine – this new one world religion, to prepare the world for the rule of the antichrist.
As a loving God, you are being given these warnings in order to save you. Heed Me now. All I ask is one thing. Remain true to My Holy Word. My Holy Word was given to you, in the Holy Bible. It can never change. But the enemies of God will twist its meanings. When this happens, reject those who tell you that God would approve of such changes. Nothing could be further from the Truth.
Your Jesus" https://fatherofloveandmercy.wordpress.com/.../the-plans.../
