October 31 is almost upon us called officially
“Reformation Day” in Martin Luther’s Germany — and the Novus Ordo Antipope
Jorge Bergoglio will use the occasion to travel to Lund Sweden, to celebrate
the 499th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation with his
fellow-non-Catholics there in the Lutheran Church of Sweden — a so-called “Christian”
denomination that is pro-abortion, pro-contraception, pro-sodomy, and has a woman
‘Archbishop’ as its head. It is only at the behest of the region’s
“Catholics” that Francis decided to stick around for another day while
there, to celebrate “Mass” for the Feast of All Saints with them.
Originally he was going to go straight back to Rome after paying his obeisance
to the work of the world’s most notorious heretic, Martin Luther. (We saw a
preview of this just the other day, when a statue of Luther was set up in
the Vatican’s audience hall and Francis happily received a huge copy
of Luther’s 95 Theses.)
On the eve of his trip to Lund, Francis agreed
to the umpteenth interview, this time published by the Modernist
Jesuit rag La Civiltà Cattolica, formerly a splendid Catholic
publication established during the reign of Pope Pius IX. The interview was
conducted by “Frs.” Ulf Jonsson and Antonio Spadaro, S.J., and published
in the original Italian as well as in a working English translation. You
can find both texts here and here.
From this interview you will see for sure that
Francis is far worse than Martin Luther who he is canonizing and celebrating.
At least Luther did not pretend to be pope and he
knows Catholic doctrines far more that Francis will ever hope to know! From the
interview Francis shows himself to be an erratic non-Christian who is totally
mad as far as being a Christian is concerned.
He knows nothing about the faith. If you ask him
anything, you will see that he cannot answer without destroying the faith.
Here are some highlights of Francis interview that
shows his muddled headed understanding of the faith:
(1) I
remember well when Archbishop [!] Antje Jackelén came here to the Vatican in
May 2015 on an official visit. She gave a very nice speech. … Then I was
also able to greet her husband. They are truly pleasant people. Then as pope, I
went to preach in the Lutheran Church of Rome. I was very impressed with the
questions that they asked then: that of the child and that of the woman on
intercommunion. Beautiful and profound questions. And the pastor of that church
is really good!”
(2) “Luther
took a great step by putting the Word of God into the hands of the people.
Reform and Scripture are two things that we can deepen by looking at the
Lutheran tradition.”
(3) “Continuing
to dialogue and to study the issues clearly belongs to the theologians…. I have
asked Patriarch Bartholomew if what was told about Patriarch Athenagoras was
true, what he said to Paul VI: «Let the two of us go ahead and we will put the
theologians on an island to discuss among themselves». He told me that it was a
true remark.”
(4) “Personally,
I believe that enthusiasm must shift towards common prayer and the works of
mercy — work done together to help the sick, the poor, and the imprisoned.”
(5) “There
is a policy we should have clear in every case: to proselytize in the ecclesial
field is a sin. Benedict XVI told us that the Church does not grow by
proselytism, but by attraction. Proselytism is a sinful attitude. It would be
like transforming the Church into an organization. Speaking, praying, working
together: this is the path that we must take. Look, in ecumenism the one who
never makes a mistake is the enemy, the devil. When Christians are persecuted
and murdered, they are chosen because they are Christians, not because they are
Lutherans, Calvinists, Anglicans, Catholics or Orthodox. An ecumenism of blood
exists.”
(6) “Every
person is capable of becoming a terrorist simply by using the tongue. I don’t
speak of the quarrels that are done openly, like wars. I speak about a sneaky
terrorism that you do by throwing words like «bombs» and that do a lot of evil.
… This terrorism is difficult to subdue.”
(7) “There
are idolatries connected to religion: the idolatry of money, of enmities, of
space greater than time, the greed of the territoriality of space. There is an
idolatry of the conquest of space, of dominion, that attacks religions like a
malignant virus. And idolatry is a false religion, it is wrong religiosity. I
call religion «an immanent transcendence», namely a contradiction. But the true
religions are the development of the capacity that humanity has to transcend
itself towards the absolute. The religious phenomenon is transcendent and it
has to do with truth, beauty, goodness and unity. If there isn’t this openness,
there is no transcendence, there is no true religion, there is idolatry.”
(8) “I
have an allergy to talking about spaces, but I always say that you see things
better from the peripheries than you do the center.”
(9) “If
the young don’t prophesy, the Church lacks air.”
(10)
[Regarding what a person loses who does
not believe in God:] “It is not losing something, but is about not adequately
developing a capacity for transcendence.”
(11)
“I see a healthy coexistence [between
“Catholics” and Swedish culture] where each one can live their faith and
express their witnessing living an open and ecumenical spirit. You cannot be
Catholic and sectarian. We must strive to be together with others. «Catholic»
and «sectarian» are two words in contradiction. This is why at the beginning I
wasn’t planning to celebrate a Mass for the Catholics on this trip. I wanted to
insist on an ecumenical witness.”
(12)
“Don’t remain closed in rigid
perspectives, because in these there is no possibility of reform.
So you have to pity the deceived people who claim to
be Catholic calling Francis ‘pope’ ‘Holy father’ etc
Just pray for more conversions!
