On 17 February, Pope Francis released a letter written for those gathered for the World Meeting of Popular Movements held in California from 16-19 February — a meeting organized by the Vatican. Such meetings regularly take place in the Vatican and are initiated by Pope Francis himself in his attempt to work together with a variety of grassroots movements world-wide.
In the letter, which is dated 10 February, Pope Francis publicly praises the organization PICO — People Improving Communities through Organizing — which was one of the promoters of this Vatican event. Francis writes:
I would also like to highlight the work done by the PICO National Network and the organizations promoting this meeting. I learned that PICO stands for “People Improving Communities through Organizing”. What a great synthesis of the mission of popular movements: to work locally, side by side with your neighbors, organizing among yourselves, to make your communities thrive. [my emphasis]
What Pope Francis does not mention here is that PICO is heavily funded by George Soros. Leftist watchdog website Discover the Political Networks describes PICO as a group that “uses Alinsky-style organizing tactics to advance the doctrines of the religious left.” As John-Henry Westen, editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews reported in August of 2016, leaks from the Soros Foundation have shown how Soros funded PICO and other organizations in order to influence the Vatican in favor of certain policies and agendas. Westen reports:
Leaked emails through WikiLeaks reveal that billionaire globalist George Soros — one of Hilary Clinton’s top donors — paid $650,000 to influence Pope Francis’ September 2015 visit to the USA with a view to “shift[ing] national paradigms and priorities in the run-up to the 2016 presidential campaign.” The funds were allocated in April 2015 and the report on their effectiveness suggests that successful achievements included, “Buy-in of individual bishops to more publicly voice support of economic and racial justice messages in order to begin to create a critical mass of bishops who are aligned with the Pope.” […] Grantees were PICO, a faith-based community organizing group, and Faith in Public Life (FPL), a progressive group working in media to promote left-leaning ‘social justice’ causes. Soros has funded left-wing causes the world over and was just found to have been funding an effort to eliminate pro-life laws around the globe.
That there are already well-established ties between the Vatican and this progressive, often subversive, Soros-funded organization PICO can also be seen in this part of Westen’s report:
In order to seize on the opportunity provided by the Pope’s visit to the US, says the report, “we will support PICO’s organizing activities to engage the Pope on economic and racial justice issues, including using the influence of Cardinal Rodriguez, the Pope’s senior advisor, and sending a delegation to visit the Vatican in the spring or summer to allow him to hear directly from low-income Catholics in America.”
In 2013 Cardinal Rodriguez endorsed PICO’s work in a video during a visit from PICO representatives to the cardinal’s diocese. “I want to endorse all the efforts they are doing to promote communities of faith,” he said, “… Please, keep helping PICO.”
This same network is right now taking steps to oppose President Donald Trump’s policies with regard to immigration questions, specifically the so-called Immigration Ban. It is organizing protests an different locations in the U.S. As one statement on PICO’s website regarding “Organizing for the Resistance” says:
This morning, PICO National Network, United We Dream, and Church World Service declared together on a media conference call that faith communities in America are taking a prophetic stance against President-elect Trump’s promised persecution of immigrants, Muslims and people of color by providing Sanctuary in more than 800 congregations. And this is just the beginning. […] Now is the time for us to create empathetic space for uncommon encounters across difference, building bridges and disrupting patterns of isolation and fear in our communities. This is a moment for multi-racial, multi-faith communities to reimagine the Beloved Community, taking bold and prophetic action to realize it.
This is part of the managed chaos we have been witnessing in the U.S. for some weeks now. And it seems that Pope Francis, in his own 10 February letter, encourages such crises:
As Christians and all people of good will, it is for us to live and act at this moment. […] The direction taken beyond this historic turning-point—the ways in which this worsening crisis gets resolved—will depend on people’s involvement and participation and, largely, on yourselves, the popular movements. We should be neither paralyzed by fear nor shackled within the conflict. We have to acknowledge the danger but also the opportunity that every crisis brings in order to advance to a successful synthesis. [sic. The dialectical method.] In the Chinese language, which expresses the ancestral wisdom of that great people, the word “crisis” is comprised of two ideograms: Wēi, which represents “danger”, and Jī, which represents “opportunity”. The grave danger is to disown our neighbors.
Pope Francis himself calls for resistance, and implicitly seems to encourage the self-proclaimed “chaos managers”:
But here we also find an opportunity: that the light of the love of neighbor may illuminate the Earth with its stunning brightness like a lightning bolt in the dark; that it may wake us up and let true humanity burst through with authentic resistance, resilience and persistence.
In reiterating some themes discussed before, Pope Francis adds:
Here are the roots of the authentic humanity that resists the dehumanization that wears the livery of indifference, hypocrisy, or intolerance. I know that you have committed yourselves to fight for social justice, to defend our Sister Mother Earth [sic] and to stand alongside migrants. I want to reaffirm your choice and share two reflections in this regard.
The pope adds the importance of protecting nature and his plea for religious tolerance, namely that “no people is criminal and no religion is terrorist. Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist.” [my emphasis]
Does it surprise us that this Vatican meeting in California “criticizes Trump orders“? As the Miami Herald reports:
Speakers at a Vatican-sponsored conference in Northern California — including an archbishop — denounced President Donald Trump’s orders on immigration and travel and vowed to fight them at a meeting Friday. Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez said President Barack Obama deported a high number of people, but the harsh tone and cruelty coming out of the new administration was prompting mass fear and panic. [my emphasis]
In this context, this conference now called the Catholic Church to investigate its own “racism”:
The gathering of more than 600 clergy and social justice activists also included a session on racism Friday, where speakers encouraged religious people and institutions, including the Roman Catholic Church, to confront their own racism. [my emphasis]
In November of 2016, the Italian historian Professor Roberto de Mattei had informed us that, after Hillary Clinton’s loss of the election, Pope Francis might very well now become the world leader of the Left. De Mattei then wrote:
On his return flight from Mexico on February 18th of this year [2016], in commenting Trump’s plan to build a wall between the United States and Mexico in order to slow down the migratory surge the Pope had said that “a person who thinks only of building walls and not bridges, is not a Christian.” […] Yet, no matter how strong the reservations towards Trump can be, for a Catholic it would be difficult to imagine a position of equidistance between him and Hillary Clinton, who had officially inserted a massive implementation of abortion and the LGBT agenda into her programme. [That is,] Unless self-defence against the migratory invasion is considered a graver sin than the legalization of abortion and so-called homosexual marriage.
De Mattei is to be commended for his far-sightedness. He not only predicted Pope Francis’ role as the leader of the Left world-wide, he also pointed to the increasing danger of incited and practiced violence in this regard:
For his part, after Clinton’s defeat, Francesco now remains the only point of reference for the international left, [now] lacking a leader. On November 5th at the conclusion of the Third World Meeting of the so-called “Popular Movements” in the Vatican, in the presence of revolutionary agitators from the five continents, Pope Francis turned to them saying: “I make your cry mine”. But the cry of protest, that is raised by the movements gathered in Paul VI’s audience hall, is, unfortunately, characterized by ideological fanaticism and incitement to violence. [my emphasis]
Not two weeks ago, major newspapers in this country came out with stories as to how Donald Trump’s closest advisor, Steve Bannon, now tries to influence the Vatican, with the help of Cardinal Raymond Burke. OnePeterFive’s author Christian Browne responded some of these attacks on Cardinal Burke with charitable indignation. However, if we are concerned about Trump’s advisor trying to influence Vatican policies, we might be just as concerned about Pope Francis trying directly to influence U.S. politics and supporting groups that are funded by George Soros, supporter of Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood. Worth noting in this context is the request made by The Remnant, on 20 January 2017, that the Trump administration should investigate “what appears to be a collusion between a hostile [Obama] United States government and a pope who seems to hold as much ill will towards followers of perennial Catholic teachings as he seems to hold toward” Trump himself.
As to the strategic and tactical networks of “revolutionary agitators,” we might recall the gifted Louis Auguste Blanqui (1805-1881) in nineteenth century revolutionary France, and why Vladimir Lenin himself so greatly admired him and learned from him. Pope Francis himself would probably agree that Louis Blanqui was a greater revolutionary agitator and organizer than Saul Alinsky.
This post has been updated.
And here I thought the people comparing Francis to Obama were merely being flippant. “. . . [T]he opportunity that every crisis brings in order to advance to a successful synthesis” sure sounds an awful lot like Rahm Emanuel’s “Never let a serious crisis go to waste”; I had to read the piece again to make certain this wasn’t just a pastiche of stereotypical leftist clichés.
The old “Once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern” adage applies here. From his “who am I to judge?” debacle, to his “Christians don’t build walls” nonsense, to his thinly-veiled disparaging of Trump, to the New York Times piece proclaiming him the de facto leader of the global left, to this all-out endorsement of the Soros machine, can anyone with a smidgen of intellectually integrity now doubt that we have a pontiff on the Chair of St. Peter who is fully beholden to the leftist cause? And yet, all we hear from most of the institutional Catholic media is crickets.
I’m never merely flippant… 😉
Very well written, if disturbing, article. It seems to me that as 2017 progresses, things seemingly Apocalyptic are speeding up. I’m not really surprised by anything that comes out of this Papacy. I’m really afraid there might not be any chance of a formal correction of the Pope.
I think, Jorge just wish to get a formal correction from 4 cardinals. Why? So he can than say: “See now who they are who are schismatics!”
He knows, here is not a question of any schism, but a split between lunatics & heretics from the faithful ones who belongs to Christ and HIS Holy Catholic CHURCH.
So. we should really stop using the language of our enemies, and enemies of the Catholic CHURCH, and start call things and people with the names they really are. As example: No homo+sexuals – but sodomites. No modernists, or leftists, or libtards, or whatever – but HERETICS!
I edited the Cartoon a little bit. I hope the cartoonist doesn’t mind. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2489d36cc27537fa41de4942bc52503f5c057b4ca7d23d9c2051b04189136c1d.jpg
It’s really just simple as our Lord said to us:
“He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.” (John 14,24)
And…:
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” (Luke 11,23)
So, who is against Christ, is he than not the one who is working for the Antichrist?
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said in 1950: “We are living in the days of the Apocalypse–the last days of our era…. The two great forces of the Mystical Body of Christ and the Mystical Body of Antichrist are beginning to draw up the battle lines for the catastrophic contest.” (Flynn T & L. The Thunder of Justice. Maxkol Communications, Sterling, VA, 1993, p. 20)
He also said: “The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit church. Christ’s Church [the Catholic Church] will be one. And the False Prophet will create the other. The false church will be worldly ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches. And religions forming some type of global association. A world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the Antichrist. The mystical body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from among our bishops.”
“A religion to destroy religions.” So true!
It’s much more said with this: “…will have a religion without a cross.”!
Can you remember one video commercials from Rome with the baby Jesus, – but without a CROSS?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6FfTxwTX34
Can you remember the visitation of ‘great imam’ from Egypt, the main sunni leader, when him was told about: “olive tree which is our symbol of peace.”!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Neoq_ZIBw
Oh, by the way, they also have ‘discussed’ the situation in the middle east that time.
Kasper.
Nice edit! Encapsulates the dilemma quite adroitly.
You should email or post it to The Remnant. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The language is definitely important. Things need to be called what they are. After all that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck …..well guess what…
Quack! Oh, I mean AMEN!
According to Spadaro it must be a horse
Excellent point about the use, or MIS-use of language! Thanks!
This one is a heck of a lot better than the last one, who was a member of Hitler Youth.
Goodbye troll
Thank you, Brian. Thank you.
Thank you! He was way out of line.
And what nefarious things were you up to when you were eight?
See, a liberal clown like yourself is usually uninformed or YOU are an outright LIAR. Benedict was forced into the movement but later he left it because he knew it was evil. But SLANDERING people is a typical Liberal style as a COVER for your GUILT TRIP FOR SUPPORTING BABY KILLING.
And never mind that while, on one hand, this liberal clown denounces Hitler Youth, yet, on the other hand, would he denounce the present genocide preached against Jews and Christians by Islamists the world over? No, he’d probably deny the existence of Islamic terrorism, and not bother to look for it. But, he is a self-acclaimed expert on Hitler Youth, because being such is convenient to his ill-begotten dig at Pope Benedict. We give clowns like this too much attention, which is all they seek, but calling them for what they are is so very cathartic. Thank you, William!
One would think that your inability to avail yourself of the facts of that circumstance in the life of Joseph Ratzinger would be a cause for self reflection.
Your foolishness is akin to saying that Anne Frank was a participant in the holocaust.
Moronic.
Carry on!
Oh, liberals don’t like facts nor science. That’s why they can kill a baby in the womb even with the ultrasound.
They simply don’t like knowledge. Must be too intellectually challenged
JUST BLOCK THE TROLL
Not at all. Troll somewhere else.
Under a certain age every one had to register in Hitler’s Youth. They lined every child up and registered them. It was not voluntary.
Like that would make a dent to this guy’s thick skull.
They are not interested in truth. Only on spin.
Dont let the true get in the way of your stupidity
Absolutely wrong!! Troll somewhere else. I’m not going to dignify that statement with any more of a response than that.
Somewhat off topic but is there a mailing address where we can send letters of support to Cardinal Burke now that he is in Guam?
You can post stuff on his Facebook page
He’ll be back. It’s routine business, and nothing to worry about.
I like this Pope. He’s actually a humanitarian.
Yes, but is he a Catholic.
??
You like him? You can have him.
Humanist at best, certainly not Catholic which he has to be in order to be Pontiff. You must have ultra left-wing leanings to actually like him.
He Francis sadly is like infamous bishop spong of now dying Anglican Episcopal sect .
Yup, and he has very little interest in the position he was elected to fill.
Maybe, you shouldn’t open your mouth, since you are uninformed. Jorge is not a humanitarian since he will allow Paul Ehrlich (a pro-abotion population control) elite to speak at the Vatican at the end of February 2017. Ehrilich who calls babies “garbage” is promoting his death cult. And Jorge is allowing this???
There is nothing human about chopping up babies into little pieces.
Hi William – That’s nice, but, I wish he actually was a Christian.
Nice? But humanism is modern paganism. A humanist put a human on the first place, and God (just maybe) on the second or 100th…
The true followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, the true Christians have always GOD at first place. ALWAYS.
The FIRST and the SECOND one should and must never been mixed or messed up. Anyone who is doing that willingly and concisely, i s a heretic.
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22,36-40)
Hi Ivan – I have an unfortunate tendency toward sarcasm when addressing the incomprehensible thoughts of others. I will work on it. I have a feeling Francis is more likely to have a quote from Saul Alinsky featured prominently in his inner sanctum than the first and greatest commandment.
I understand you fniper. But yes, sarcasm is not one of the characteristics of the faithful Christian.
It is like a making jokes about very serious things. And it happens to many too easy. They follows one another just like that.
We can see it even here too often, unfortunately. Instead that we keep saying just that what we and others really need to hear, and learn from it, we have too much nonsense-comments, what helps to make very important issues, less important, even ridiculous.
We should always take a BEST example that we have, our Lord Jesus Christ. We should imitate Him in every possible way, as Thomas a Kempis wrote in his tremendous book “De imitatione Christi”.
Hi Ivan – I hope Jesus has a sense of humor. Absent that I hope He realizes that humor is sometimes an effective weapon against the fortresses built on self deception, whose walls can crumble when those hiding inside those walls find their position is vulnerable to laughter . You make a good point though.
As a Catholic, and I presume that you’re NOT based upon your ill informed intellect and moral: What is there to LIKE?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8940106eb3853234dc0131aedfe4dbfd75245e2af0658e3ddcf2bb69f0e042fb.jpg
I hope he was misquoted.. Otherwise it is time for majority of college of red hat Cardinals and pope Benedict to press for a Formal Repudiation of Amoris Latita and the rants of Francis. A schism may have engulfed the Vatican and the papacy already .
The link to the letter is right there in the post. It goes to the official Vatican website:
http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/pont-messages/2017/documents/papa-francesco_20170210_movimenti-popolari-modesto.html
Time for majority of red hat Cardinals and pope Benedict to take action. Otherwise RC faith will collapse as Anglican Episcopal sect died under infamous bishop Spong yrs . Ago.
Thanks Steve, I read the the letter form the link in the article. Quite eye opening as to the extent of the split. According to the article, Francis says that love of neighbor is the light in the darkness? I thought that was the Gospel of Our Lord.
He also says it’s the greatest commandment:
https://onepeterfive.wpengine.com/the-greatest-commandment-did-a-council-and-two-popes-teach-error/
Bergoglio is the first pro-abortion Pope. Bing for emma bonino pope francis.
“We have to acknowledge the danger but also the opportunity that every crisis brings in order to advance to a successful synthesis.” -quote from Jorge B.
Now, I believe I would agree here. I wonder if he knew he was talking about himself?
Pray!
How is it possible that one can be surprised yet again? It simply goes to show how loyal we are to the Church and the papacy, while the Church and the papacy have abandoned their fidelity to the faithful.
He is beneath contempt.
There is an interesting passage in the book, “Mary Crushes the Serpent -30 Years of Experiences As An Exorcist Told In His Own Words”:
The more the demons feel their influence slipping the more furious they become. They admit that themselves: “The weaker we are, the wilder we become. “Besides the people they have won over to their side, the demons also use secret societies as their shock troops. With their help the evil sown by the demons spreads wider and wider like a prairie fire. Despite this help, the demons know the futility of the battle before-hand. They also admit their own defeat and the ultimate failure of the secret societies in their present battle. Their admission on this point is as follows: “We will be cast back into hell but we do not know just when. The hour is determined by your Master, Who is also our Master. Lucifer is not our master; he is our leader.” By “Master” they mean God. “God has ordained that there will always be demons upon the earth to try and to test mankind. But the main leaders will have to return to hell and those remaining will be weakened. They will no longer be able to seduce men. The demons told me this themselves. They also told me that once they are defeated, that the time will also come when the members of the secret societies will be humiliated. “The Virgin will destroy the secret societies. “She has already set herself against them.” “You will be saved by the “Tower of Babel”. I presume that by the “Tower of Babel” the demon means that all the wicked will attempt an arrogant assault that will end to their shame in general confusion, just as the wicked people of the Old Testament attempted to erect the Tower of Babel to make their entrance into heaven. “The crucified souls are the ones,” said the demon, “that will wage war against us…”
I sometimes wonder if the “Tower of Babel” doesn’t also refer to the internet.
I read this very thing recently and thought the same as you, the internet is the tower of babel and it unites us in this time of confusion…looking forward to the day when the secret societies will be destroyed!
Does this really shock, or even raise an eyebrow any more, for anyone? Francis has chosen the world, we must accept that an get ready for his trial for heresy.
I sincerely believe that within the next couple of decades, we will see an official condemnation of “Franciscanism.” Perhaps not that word, exactly, as it is cumbersome and confusing, but you get my point 🙂
Hi drogah – I am hoping that comes before the 500th anniversary of the founding of Lutheranism, which I believe occurs on Oct. 31, 2017. Maybe Francis can attend the celebration as the newest pope emeritus. I would imagine that would be some indication that the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Fatima had triumphed. When the condemnation of Francis occurs in the future I think it might be more like Pope Leo XIII’s condemnation of freemasonry than of anything associated with Saint Francis..
Not ‘Franciscanism’. But ‘bergoglianism’.
Bergoglio – orgoglio (see the meaning of it in Italian)
Bergoglio – imbroglio
Ber-gog-lio – Gog (and Magog)
…
For those who search the signs…
I had no idea.
It’s frightening.
Hahahahaa…..nice one!!
And then we must accept the persecution of the faithful; each and every one of us.
Some will give greater witness, but be given the graces to bear it.
All will be pleasing to our Lord.
Hi cs – I agree, we are heading toward a vicious persecution of all who don’t conform to Globalist Agenda. Once they get into power again, and I think they will, the suppression will begin and then the blood will begin to flow.
It is about time for a formal correction of the pope and a real and clear clarification, explanation and affirmation of the words of Jesus and the teachings of the Church!! This cannot go on… Dear cardinals, speak up!! Dear bischops, unite and preach!! Dear priests, think about the salvation of the souls of your sheep and of your own soul and tell your sheep what is right and wrong and why!! Dear fellow lay people, let us pray and work as much as we can for the salvation of (our) soul(s), because that is the only thing Jesus wants us to do!!
You’re not my parishioner, but if you were, you would have heard a very subtle troll this weekend.
“Every one of us is capable of the perfection God brings us. We never settle for “good enough.” And if someone tells you that holiness is unobtainable, do not listen to him. He does not speak for Jesus Christ.”
😉
“a formal correction of the pope.” You’re kidding, right? Or are you just trying to get people all heated up? The Pope has not said ANYTHING against the faith. You have confused your political orientation with your faith. Someone needs to give YOU a correction.
Dear silver rose. I have no interest in politics whatsoever. I am a dutch woman, but I know for sure that Pope Francis said a lot of things which are not according to the bright and shining truths and teachings of Jesus Christ. For the salvation of as much souls as possible, we have to speak out, although it hurts very much to say something very negative about situations in our holy Catholic Church. Please, examine the life of Jorge Bergoglio and his actions as priest and bischop. You will know…. Let us pray for him and for every Catholic, for clearness and holiness!! Greetings and prayers, God bless you and keep you.
Pray for him, yes. That’s your role. His job is to lead the faith. It is not yours.
This pope is a leftist tool.
This is frightening. Instead of hoping that the Dubia / Formal Correction is answered, we keep getting this liberal, heretical nonsense flung down our throats.
Marie-Julie Jahenny (approved mystic) predicted we would have a time ” without a pope”, and also there would be a time with “two anti-popes in sucession”, although when these periods would happen it’s hard to tell because this part of the texts of her prophecies are in fragments and out of context, yet, in all her warnings and prophecies, she also says we must be loyal to the pope. So, it’s hard to know what to think. However, she did warn that the many evil bishops would lead people to perdition and try to change the Church in one blow if they could.
The more Pope Francis keeps announcing these things without anserwing the Dubia, the more I think we may have an anti-pope on our hands…! 🙁
Not kowing Marie-Julie Jahenny! But to take the point to be loyal to the pope could be : to be loyal to Peter according to his vocation as head of the church but not to follow his errors.
I’am honestly asking now: Do we really think that just ‘not following his errors’ may be enough?
How about defending of the Truth and Christ’s Church which is our Church too?
How about fighting, being persecuted, and even dying for The Church, if necessary?
The time of ‘not following his errors’ are now more than ever past. Already happen.
Because his errors are echoing trough many others, cardinals, bishops, priests, parishes…
I am trying to tell everyone included myself too, – we must be for Christ with all our words, thoughts and deeds, right now, as always we should be, or we are against Him. WE, especially WE must be extremely wary to not become a lukewarm ones.
You are perfectly right!
We have to take over our part in this spiritual fight. This is prayer, fasting, way of holiness, defending the faith, to give the word and testemony within the possibilities we have, to know from each other, to support the faithful priests and bishops, to protect the faithful if we can!… Seriously to pray for the Pope because he is in great danger…
If you can read German or Espagnol I could lead you to my blog where I share about AL and try to inform. Also the celebration of a Holy Mass in great dignity is a besides all other wonderful gifts a weapon against the evil behind all this irritations. Also Musica sacra can serve against the evil spirit! Eternal adoration ……..
As I said: you are perfectly right! We need and should do a spiritual resistance. I call it : Balta Lelija (White Lily) , Patron is Ste. Joan of Arc!
Elija-Paul,
You gave the best example that you’ve could – Joan of Arc!
Joan of Arc, pray for us!
I suggest you to share your writings in German and Spanish on the Google+
You have there many German and especially Spanish speaking people, Catholics, who are still ‘searching’ the truth.
God bless you.
Remain faithful and keep fighting good fight.
Thank you for your advice. Will look what is possible to realize! I see you love Joan (we write with her french name at this time: Jehanne) . So you will like some words of the last part of a song called: Arrival of Jeanne or Warrior of light!
“Now I am riding on again on the wings of pure love to free my people in this time. Shadows are over them, darkness is trying to rule, false kings are longing for their souls. But saints and angels are following me burning in love for God and mankind, to take the chains away from blody history and errors from all times. Warriors of light are on their way to make the despot go away revealing the prince of our hearts, offering to rule inside turning darkness to the light opening the door of a new time ….”
Blessings from Germany where is it very late now. By the way if you love musica sacra: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpegxz3g93rBc_yJFLQ_Ngw Keep on fighting! Joan is with the faithful and her mission is not ended!
Thanks to our good God.
And thank you too. Of course I love Joan. She should be an example to all faithful. As many other saints. We have a thousands best examples who are already in Heaven, who has showed us how to live this earthly life. We can even make a choice who of them may be best example for us personally. One saint or more. We can pay attention on our names too. We have them not for nothing. There are the meanings of our names, which are given to us, and which we choose. Elija-Paul, how nice is that combination! And how strong it is (should be). My first name is given to me by my father, and that was caused due to devotion to st. John the apostle and evangelist, but even more to st. John the Baptist. That same name have st. Joan too…
Thanks for the link. I listen nothing else than sacra, gregorian and some classical music.
Here you have a link to the movie that you must see (if not already):

God bless you and all yours.
I know, but things are really going down a slippery slope!
*) About Marie-Julie Jahenny: you can read about her in an article here: http://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/2015/07/marie-julie-jahenny-breton-stigmatist.html
*) The whole book of her prophecies here: https://www.academia.edu/11211343/We_Are_Warned_The_Prophecies_of_Marie-Julie_Jahenny
What’s frightening about her revelations: she predicted the New Mass, (Christ is not pleased! It contains words ‘odius in His sight!’, those bishops who brought about these evil changes would not be forgiven!) but then where do we go for Mass these days if there is no Latin Mass present?
Next, they won’t stop at the New Mass, new rites will be added, new services without valid consecrations, etc. They will be services formed straight from Hell. (I wonder if this is a prediction of trying to form a ‘Common Communion’ with the Lutherans as we are seeing lately….)
Bishops will try to ‘make a new religion’ like that of ‘Mohammed’ ~ this is not only a prediction of the rise of the Arian heresy again (the Muslims don’t believe in Christ’s Divinity), but now with the heretical interpretaions of “Amoris Laetitia”, are we seeing the rise of the acceptance of poligamy? Muslims are allowed to have more than one wife, and if remarried Catholics who have a partner still living may receive Communion, isn’t that sanctioning poligamy in a sense?
Everything she has predicted is coming true…. and we the Catholic laity have our hands tied. Thank goodness Christ said to Marie-Jule He would forgive His people, but not the evil bishops who led them astray.
Thank you for the information and sharing in he spirit of the Lord. Very soon I have to leave Germany to go to Congo for more than one month and cannot follow the recent disussien about the issues we are in trouble for more than a month. But I will invite those orphans we take care to pray for the situation of the church. Of course they will not know about any detail but they are very prayerful african children. Also I will meet a friend of mine who is bishop. Before he was in Kinshasa and served as a auxliar bishop the Cardinal who is one of the 9 advisers around the Pope. Till now i do not know how my fiend thinks about the issue …
Love to all faithful people and special prayers for those in danger to go into irrtations ….
Keep on fighting like a warrior of light! In the end all will turn to the light!
Just a few days ago…
*On February 15, 2017*, on his way to the general audience at Paul VI Hall, Pope Francis received a group of Indians who were participants in the International Forum of Indigenous Peoples.
Standing face to face with a woman witch doctor wearing an astrological bandana around her forehead, he executed a curious ritual of touching hands, below, which ended with the woman placing her hands on his temples, above. Her attitude of conquest and the respectful submission of Francis allows us to understand that the shaman was giving him a “blessing” of her gods.
However, since the gods of the pagans are devils (cfr. Psalm 95:5), the obvious conclusion is that she placed a demonic spell on him.
In addition to this “benefit” gained by Francis, he took advantage of the opportunity to encourage class struggle in the best model of a partisan of Liberation Theology.

As a 70+ year Catholic my faith is being tried everyday. More and more I see indications that this MAYBE the anti-Christ. I have informed my pastor and bishop and their reaction , or should I say lack of reaction, is astounding.
Say my prayers, live the good life, and hope for my Church.
Oh, I saw that this “pope”wants life prison sentences eliminated…I agree, capital punishment is much more effective and economically positive.
If they are “innocent” God will welcome them…if they are not Satan can have them!
Know that this priest hears you, and don’t lose faith because of faithless men.
Dear Father,
The best way you and your confreres can help the Church is 1) by offering the Holy Sacrifice for an end to the crisis in Church, 2) preach and teach the Catholic Faith “in season and out of season”, and 3) pray and work for the revelation of the Third Secret of Fatima (I.e. not the vision, but the exact words of Our Lady which follow: “In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved…”). See http://www.fatima.org for more information.
Thank you Father. Bless you for those words.
While i know them in my heart, it is so good to have them reinforced by a faithful priest, weak as i can be. My son will be in the thick of this as well.
May God be with you and may our Lady protect you and give you comfort.
Thank you for sharing your cross with us. We will pray for you. You might struggle more because you still remember the Catholic Church before the time of the Second Vatican Council. You might remember much good. But always trust that God knows best and that He put you into this time so that you may now show your fidelity to Him Who is now under siege. He will bring much good out of this time of trial. And may we all, God willing, come out stronger and tested in the Faith. Let us pray for that together!
we will certainly pray for you. We are all suffering with you. This is very good advice. We must have faith and trust in Our Lord and his Blessed Mother in this time.
Did a pope of the Catholic Church really write: “. . . defend our Sister Mother Earth. . . ” My, oh, my.
Are you surprised?
Take than look here, when he on Jun 1 2016 said literally : “We all love Mother Earth, because she is the one who has given us life and safeguards us.” (!?!) Video timeline – 0:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOnH-NmkMv0
Is this not a heresy?
See also at timeline 1:20 what a kind for gift he accepted gratefully and wherefore!?!
It might not be the actual words of the Pope. When it comes to heads of state, who knows which person wrote a particular document? As with encyclicals, it might be an anonymous ghostwriter. But the responsibility rests with the person who actually signs it, even if he’s too busy to read all the rubbish that crosses his desk.
Yeah he actually said that. Not surprised that he would, especially in addressing other like minded people and new agers. It’s really maddening that nobody will actually call this what it is. Heresy.
“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel. It is a trial which the Church must take up.
—Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), reprinted November 9, 1978, issue of The Wall Street Journal from a 1976 speech to the American Bishops
Where has the Church gone !
That quotation almost certainly spurious.
That was my first impression too. I did a Google search for the entire quote Laurelmarycecilia posted, and numerous sites popped up attributing that quote to a speech given by Cardinal Karol Wojtyla to the American bishops assembled in Philadelphia for the 1976 bicentennial’
https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog/john-paul-ii-said-what-now
Commwealmagazine.org even has a photo of the New York Daily News article which also had the quote…………. Good job ! Paul54 did some work before rejecting this rather startling comment by Cardinal Wojtyla. We might think it’s too ‘scary’ but there it is !
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us
So how much more do we need to know about Jorge Bergogio as “Pope Francis”. He does not preach the penance preached by St. Francis of Asissi whos name he chose for his papacy or the penance fervently requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima and Akita. Instead he preaches what George Soros pays him to preach.
Did Jesus not warn us to beware of false prophets? The warning Holy Mary provided to Sister Agnes of Akita in apparitions approved by Most Rev. John Shojiro Ito, Bishop of Niigata is as follows:
“If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a
terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater
than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall
from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as
well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors
will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only
arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by
My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray
for the Pope, the Bishops and the priests.”
“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a
way that one will see Cardinals opposing Cardinals, Bishops against
other Bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed
by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked.
The Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon
will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of
the Lord.
“The demon will be especially implacable against the souls
consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the
cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will
no longer be pardon for them.
“…Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able to still
save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their
confidence in Me will be saved.”
When oh, when will the Catholic hierarchy distance themselves from Saul
Alinsky tactics and Commie community organizers ?
The article makes sense of a good number of Catholics who are taking left-leaning political positions in the name of Catholic moral teaching and humanitarianism. One of the problems I see is that Francis speaks with enough ambiguity to claim that he never said and that he never meant (fill in the blank). It is a forked tongue at its best.
In a sense, it is true that to stereotype an entire group as “terrorists” is a gross generalization and an untruth. However, Francis’ words are simplistic to the point of being senseless rambling. Islam in their sacred scriptures advocates jihad against infidels. Is every single Muslim a terrorist? Of course not, but that isn’t the point.
Nowhere in scripture does Jesus tell his followers to go and create an uprising against the Roman government. Social justice, racism, immigration, refugee resettlement, climate change, economic equality — this is now Catholic teaching? The Church hierarchy is at risk of alienating at least half of its parishioners.
Excellent observations.
This is simple Marxist agitation.
Well this may sound foul but then again the “Pope may be in need of a psychiatrist for possible mental deterioration,” has real meaning now considering that Pope Francis supports: Civil unrest, Financial ruin of individual states, civil disobedience, the Merger of Christianity and Islam, Disloyalty to ones country – EVERYTHING the Pope is against when considering his authority that binds activities within the Catholic Church.
Why chalk up to crazy what can easily be explained by evil?
Charity
But that would be most uncharitable to the cognitively challenged who are not evil.
No it would not, because nobody is being labeled as evil.
Yes they are. You’re conflating evil with disability. It’s a lie.
The only one labelling people as evil is you.
Think of it this way friend, if someone were to tell you, “Larry robbed a liquor store, because he’s black.” You would understand two things, one, Larry’s getting cover and not being held personally responsible for his own bad behavior and two, innocent black people are being slandered. And of course I’m labeling ACTIONS as evil just as you are providing cover for those same evil actions.
So from now on we won’t ascribe the actions of the craziest lunatic out there to mere mental illness, for fear of slandering all those people who suffer any sort of mental health disorder.
Your root error is this. You are making the unfortunate error of failing to distinguish moral evil from mere physical evil. Ascribing an evil as a moral evil is often slanderous, ascribing an evil as a physical evil is not.
But I have spent long enough on this subthread. Good day to you.
More like an exorcism!
As Jesus said to Peter: “GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!”
I have a feeling that Francis’s overreach is going to be his downfall and soon. He just doesn’t know the pulse of the world like he thinks he does. Just wait until the French people vote for president and his candidate loses again, then he will probably resign. Marxism is a failure and it is steadily becoming less and less of a threat.
Strange. I find my strong political inclinations diametrically opposed to this pope’s: I strongly support Donald Trump and especially his attempt to reestablish immigration laws ignored by the Obama crowd; I condemn European leaders like Angela Merkel who have sold their nations out by permitting the massive invasion of Muslims; I affirm that Mohammedanism is intrinsically violent and aggressive; and I am heartened by BREXIT and pray for the election of Marine Le Pen in France and Geert Wilders in Holland as well as the defeat of Merkel in Germany. I never thought I would find the entire political project of a pope so thoroughly objectionable.
Johnny, with all that saying above, you share my thoughts and my words for 101%. Thank you!
Since he is not a Catholic, he doesn’t even have the Catholic Faith to compel him to take some rational policy positions.
And he personally sends “homosexual raping of deaf boys” priests first to India ,to do it again, then when caught, to Argentina.
Yeah, he’s a high moral class act.
If Bergoglio was an actual orthodox Catholic, the MSM would be all over that. But he’s one of them, so he’s given a pass.
I want Pope Benedict back!
Is he even aware of the evil this Pope is doing??? Can’t he speak out against him??? If he thought he was doing evil and knows it, shouldn’t he? I miss him too and I’m not sure why he isn’t saying something. Just wondering. God help us!
Yes, I agree. Something fishy went down. He should speak up. Let’s hope the truth comes out, and soon.
AnnBarnhardt.biz thinks Benedict is the legitimate Pope not Francis.
The truth of that matter will become manifest soon. The abomination of desolation IS standing on holy ground now.
Could it be that Benedict was not “ailing” at all, but was pushed out by the underground (Soros) to make way for the “usurper” Frankie (a plant) as part of the NWO???
I had to laugh at this quote of hers: ” Praying that God make “Pope Francis” a good pope is like praying to God that He make “Caitlyn Jenner” the prettiest woman in the world.”
Umm sorry to burst your bubble i point this out to the anti trumpers under obama there were morw depirtations than under any other president in US history. The dream act is simply a student visa program we want the best of the best. Wouldn’ t you agree that if these young men that were brought in by their parents when they were luttle kids many of them can’t even speak their native language were to serve in the military they have earned the right to be citizens. It is a lie that the democratic party is pro immigration. They are only pro immigration from their lips outward their actions tell a different story. I have seen republicans do more for immigrants borh legal and illegal than the democratic party. To be fair i think trump will challenge obamas record but i believe in being fair if we praise one for deportations and temporary bans from some countries then we praise both if we condemn one the we should condemn both
Yes I heard he did too, but he also let thousands maybe a million,walk over the border without being stopped. I know this from someone who worked down the border and was told they couldn’t stop them. Don’t get that, but he was the one who let the refugees in the last years did he not? I don’t think Trump want to deport them and then let them come back in illegally and let all these refugees in either. I think there lies the biggest difference.
Bush 41 let in millions from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, & Nicaragua. After that it was a deluge. I think I am not off by much if I say that there are about 30 million new illegal immigrants since the last amnesty thirty something years ago.

The Catholic Conspiracy
http://religiousleftexposed.com/home/2017/02/the-catholic-conspiracy.html
I am not replying to the article i am well aware of the corruption in the church i follow lifesite cm and 1p5 amongst other sites. My issue is with the charicature that the democrats care about immigrants. Its a fact that obama deported more illegal immigrants than any other president in history. It is a fact that he suspended visas for 6 months. My statement was a response to johnny. Simply obama or any democrat is not pro immigration it is all lies to play on emotions and get votes. Trump at least is honest. If they cared the backlog to enter legally would not be 20 years long. I am not defending breaking immigration law simply pointing out the left is hypocritical for protesting trump when obama did the same thing. And i suppose the reverse is also true . Keeping the staus quo does not help legal or not.
Vlad and johny sorry i have fat finger and typing on a small phone.
We need to expose the hypocrisy of these liberals (hate to call them bishops) who support a new world order that Trump wants to destroy. It is a spiritual battle and our job is to expose evil – let God do the rest.
Ironic Obama deported 412 thousand illegals in 2012 alone and two and a half million illegals overall. No COMPLAINT by bishops until Trump cut off their gov. Gravy train aid.
PF’s goals are numerous, but he didn’t bargain for God’s intervention thro Donald Trump. That has been a complete upset for the lefties.

I know. Regardless how one sees Francis’ take on Church matters, the sacraments and basic teachings (and, personally, I take a dim view of his approach), there is simply no denying that in politics he is an extreme leftist. His POV is encapsulated, I believe, in one disturbing photo. A while ago he was in Bolivia and met with Evo Morales, that country’s president. Morales presented him with a blasphemous carving depicting Jesus nailed not to an ordinary cross but rather to a hammer and sickle. And there in the photo we see our pope smiling as he takes this nauseous image into his hands. It’s as distressing as it is illustrative.
“This is a moment for multi-racial, multi-faith communities to reimagine the Beloved Community.
What? Is the unique community founded by Jesus – the Church – now associating with the pagan religion? Regardless of what this Bishop of Rome believes, the Church cannot be taken there.
Now the pieces to the puzzle are starting to come together..
It’s all about the almighty dollar!
Pope Francis and his minions are on their way out the door!
The confessional line is on the right.
It would seem Kelly, to indeed be “all about” the preparation for, the revelation and existential manifestation of, the person of the Anti-Christ, if knowing such a revelation was indeed possible. The “out the door” aspect of what you write indeed occurred with the implementation of the nefarious Second Vatican Council, Modernist agenda beginning in 1965. That Council mostly orchestrated by the incendiary, not blessed, Pope Paulus VI, as his beatification is a manifestation of the anti-Church, at once masquerading as the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, while it controls the edifice. May Almighty God have mercy on me and His Church. In caritas.
As I recall, Francis did say that anyone he canonizes is not necessarily infallible. Yeah. What an understatement.
Hello Al,
I too recall that when he was asked if his proclamation of Sainthood is “infallible”, he responded in the negative, which is an ipso-facto acknowledgement of his proclamation as being a matter of his person and not of Heaven. In caritas.
He loves Castro and Martin Luther, both of whom tried to destroy the Church (and did great damage). He loves Islam. He loves unfaithful Catholics. The only people he hates are faithful Catholics. The Pope is not Catholic. What an irony.
At this point I don’t think he even believes in God.
Why do things seem to be getting even more extraordinary as we get closer to 13th May. If things are really going to heat up, I don’t think I’m going to enjoy my birthday (which is 13th May!).
“Defend our Sister Mother Earth [sic]”? Oh dear, he’s been reading too much Greek mythology. Obviously, our aged Pontiff can’t tell the difference between fact and fiction. Perhaps someone should quietly substitute his reading material for something a little more refined……………LIKE THE CHURCH FATHERS! I mean, it’s not that hard to just read something Catholic! I’ll even donate my copy of St. Augustine’s entire commentary on Genesis, or my copy of “Summa of the Summa”.
The Pope has a vast library – can he not just read something? Finis.
On a more serious note, this Pontificate is really starting to peeve me now. The Diabolical Disorientation is well entrenched. The apostasy that Our Lady warned of is set deep in motion. And by God, when She’s right, She is right!
If to enter is reason done, Jesus needed not to be born and dead the way He Did! I think that the Lord our God is using this pope to test all of His Faithfuls, as to who listened to His Voice and is on His Way, lives with His truth in His Life! This pope is no longer of interests, but pray for him and his followers daily! God have mercy on us all! We are not worthy of Your Sufferings, then, to die on the Cross……..
We must earnestly pray for our own souls, for our children and those entrusted to us, for our family members and for our friends and coleagues.
As for the rest, as Christ said, leave the dead (Bergoglio and all his minions) to bury their dead. We can do nothing more for them. The care of souls in our charge is what we must focus on .Almighty God Himself will in His good time clear up the horror story which is the Bergoglian papacy but we must give account of what we have done with the talents given us.
How many souls have we led to salvation through our prayers sacrifices and good example? How many have we been a stumbling block to?
But let us not despair. The time is short.
Pope, Francis, Please get OCCUPIED only with The Lord’s WORK. Leave the worldly activities to OTHERS in the Church. IF you have no GOOD Retreat Preacher or SPIRITUAL Director, please call on any of the Fathers or Brothers or EVEN Sisters from THE DIVINE or THE SEHION Retreat Centres in Kerala, INDIA. Please don’t be like Martha whom The Lord scolded. In these two Retreat Centres above, we have TRUE Apostles of The Lord in our times. They will be THE BEST guides for you (for Example Frs. Mathew Naicomparampil, George Panackal or Fr. Xavier Vattai Khan in The SEHION Retreat Centre) in the Lord’s Work to DISCERN EVIL and GOOD, to guide you in the Work of EVANGELIZATION and PROCLAMATION, for every one of these are solely lead by The Spirit of Jesus The Lord. This my prayerful request is in the precious name of Jesus The Lord.
And some doubt Bella Dodd…
Poor, poor Bergolgio. I’ll bet he’s throwing furniture around along with a few choice words inside the Vatican that Hillary Clinton did not win. At this rate, the men in white coats will carry him out on a stretcher to the psych ward while he yells “But I am pope, I really AM the POPE!”
Sometimes I wonder the same thing….
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0Si2MRc6Yiw/hqdefault.jpg
Interesting how Francis refers to a lightning bolt.
How many wars have been started when one nation covertly initiates a policy to encourage the destabilization of another nation? Now we have a national leader, Bergoglio, overtly supporting the political destabilization of the United States.
What Bergoglio is doing in supporting the Communist uprisings in the USA is exactly that; a rank, political act of destabilization that violates the tenets of Just War and can cause nothing but death and destruction of property.
Is there not a single Bishop who can see this for what it is?
Our Church AND political leaders have a duty to address this issue.
I resist the New World Order and it’s NuChurch religion
So, what else is new in the world of Francis? :-/
“Religious left” is a nonsensical phrase that expresses what is, essentially, a lie. You are either true to the faith or you are not. POLITICAL designations such as “right” and “left” which are popular in democratic discussions, have NO place in discussions of a Pope’s teachings. There is no “right” or “left” Catholicism. There is simply Catholicism. Americans are pathetically obsessed with politics and have conflated their politics with their religion. Catholicism is not a democracy. Consequently, there is no “right” or “left.” This article is a scandal.
False. This article is not a scandal. It does deal with scandalous material, but that isn’t really the same thing.
Oh, excuse me. On what authority do you rely? You are making a blanket statement that is supposed to cancel out what I said. Where is your logic? What is your point? Why did you post this? Of what value is your opinion? Troll.
LOL, way to necropost to get in that “troll” comment. Good work. I’m sure Pedodesta will have your check in the mail for your work supporting the Catholic Spring.
As to what authority, why, the One who sent me. Who paid you to come here and post such drivel? No one here cares what you think. Call us all the names you want. We. Don’t. Care.
Go back to tunnels of your master, worm. Everything about your comment is false. The assertions, the beliefs, even the supposed facts, all false, all fake. You are a fake Catholic.
SO typical of the troll trying to inflame a thread. Not biting, troll. Vade retro Satana.
“But the humble Mary will always have the victor over that proud spirit, and so great a victory that she will go so far as to crush his head, where his pride dwells. She will always discover the malice of the serpent. She will always lay bare his infernal plots and dissipate his diabolical councils, and even to the end of time will guard her faithful servants from his cruel claw.
But the power of Mary over all the devils will especially shine forth in the later times, when Satan will lay his snares against her heel: that is to say, her humble slaves and her poor children, whom she will raise up to make war against him. They shall be little and poor in the world’s esteem, and abased before all like the heel, trodden underfoot and persecuted as the heel is by the other members of the body. But in return for this they he shall be rich in the grace of God, which Mary shall distribute to them abundantly. They shall be great and exalted before God in sanctity, superior to all other creatures by their lively zeal, and so well sustained with God’s assistance that, with the humility of their heel, in union with Mary, they shall crush the head of the devil and cause Jesus Christ to triumph.” True Devotion to Mary, St. Louis de Montfort
We all have an urgent sense of wanting to “do something” or to see something done, and feel frustration and despair when our priests, bishops and cardinals seem to be failing us. But, we have the most powerful method and weapon at our disposal and it is available to anyone no matter what their state in life: Consecration to the Immaculate Heart. Study the True Devotion, consecrate yourselves, your families, your parishes, so we can become like arrows in the hand of Mary to pierce her enemies. (Ps. 126:4) Ave Maria!
Vorwärts! sounds better than Resist!. And it fits the spirit of this most illiberal age.
The problem is not just Francis. The leadership positions in the Church are throughly infiltrated. Twenty years ago, they would not pass for Christian, much less Catholic. Francis is a threat not just to the Faith, but also to Civilization. He has overwhelming support. Time to face reality. What does one do?
#1, Pray.
#2, Use their playbook against them. Think globally, act locally. Be the change you want to see in the world. Use Alinsky tactics against them.
#3, Stay alert. Pay attention to your areas of expertise, and what you are interested in. Specialize in your specialties. When something is amiss there, communicate it out to others who can help disseminate info.
We need to remember who we are and what we are supposed to be fighting for. We need to bear in mind constantly the faith we are trying to keep.
When things are darkest, when hope seems to fade, and all seems lost, we will need to cling to our principles. Holding to these principles will give us the strength, courage, and determination to keep going, to hold the line, and to never surrender.
We fight for something greater than ourselves. Should we as individuals break down, drop the ball, fail, or even fall to despair, then still we will not have lost, because we do not fight only for ourselves. The fight will go on, and we will each be held to account only that we gave our last measure in pursuit of these principles.
What are these principles? Faith, Hope, and Love. Practice love, practice charity. Spread Joy and Truth and Love to everyone you encounter in your daily life. Smile, wish others a good day, or a happy afternoon, and rejoice in the day that God has given you. Do what you can to make the day of everyone you encounter just a little bit better.
Always remember, evil is not the opposite of good. Evil is the absence of God, much as darkness is the absence of light. There is no force of darkness, no power of darkness, no speed of darkness. Merely the absence of light.
To that end, darkness wins not by overcoming or overpowering the light, but merely having the light withdraw. Once the light is gone, the darkness is there, unsummoned, unbidden. No further acts need to occur for the darkness to be absolute. All that is required is the light to be gone. Hence, why all that is required for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.
All this does not mean that there are not dark forces out there, or forces aligned with the darkness. We must fight them constantly.
Always remember, too, that light is invisible unless it shines upon something, or you view the source directly (in which case, the light is shining directly on your retinas). The brightest flashlights when viewed from the side appear to not be on at all. It is only when the light strikes an object that the brilliance is unveiled, and the luminescence is apparent. We are each charged, therefore, to show up. The light cannot be denied as long as we stand. We reflect the Light, and the Light is the Truth, and the Way, and the Son.
Do not be afraid to walk in the Valley of Darkness, for the light is there, though you do not see it, and in you being there, you become a beacon of Light not of yourself, but because of the Light shining on you.
Go forth and represent the Light. Go forth and fear no darkness. Go forth and bear witness by your mere presence, and fight for Him and His Truth always, even if you can do nothing more than stand silently by and let the Light shine upon you to be reflected where it is impossible to ignore.
Look to Love, and be a beacon of Light and Love in this world.
Catholicism is all but dead. These men have killed it. To support this is to support Marxism and/or Communism. We need to all re-examine.
Catholicism is not dead. It cant die. It is Divine, comes from God and is sustained by God. You are referring to the big numbers Catholic Church. Many Catholics are following your suggestion : re-examining.
Sickening. I’m sorry but I can’t stand looking at their evil faces. God help us!
“The Latin American Jewish Congress has had a close relationship with Jorge Bergoglio for several years,” Claudio Epelman, executive director of the Latin American Jewish Congress, told JTA. “We know his values and strengths. We have no doubt he will do a great job leading the Catholic Church.” Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 13 March 2013. New pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, has Jewish connections
Isn’t he a Jesuit? And what relation to the Jesuits do Jews have? I wonder?
Ignatius’ commentary on jews and Judaism were remarkably restrained for his time (so far so as to be completely opposed to the prevailing Catholic theology of the day) and instead of condemning them outright as enemies of the faith as his Spanish followers […] urged him to. (3) He actively welcomed the jews (both converts and ‘New Christians’ [aka Marranos/Conversos]) into the Jesuit order and made a point of recruiting them. (4) Nothing speaks more of this rather weird desire than the fact that Loyola and his early companions spared no expense or effort to get the sentences (including and not limited to those of death) of convicted jewish criminals commuted if they expressed a desire or interest in converting and joining the Jesuit order. (5) This naturally resulted in the fact that quite early on a significant number of the jesuits were converts from Judaism or from ‘New Christian’ families. (6) The most prominent of these was the first prominent Jesuit theologian, architect of the structure of the society as we know it today and the successor to Ignatius: Diego Lainez. (7) This can be hardly surprising when Ignatius himself went on record as stating that he desired to be of jewish origin himself so (a-la Luther’s argument in ‘That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew’) that he could be closer to Jesus, the saviour of mankind, by sharing the same ancestral origins (which left his Spanish listeners simply horrified for good reason). (8) Semitic Controversies, 24 November 2014. Saint Ignatius Loyola on the Jews.
Jewish Jesuitism, the same practical Jesuitism which Bauer discovers in the Talmud, is the relation of the world of self-interest to the laws governing that world, the chief art of which consists in the cunning circumvention of these laws. –Karl Marx, On The Jewish Question. (February 1844)
Very interesting. Thanks for the links will persue
Francis sees rabbi Abraham Skorka as his roving ambassador
“How strange it would have been 30 years ago, the fact that the rabbi is representing the holy father.”
— Francis in an email to Abraham Skorka —
(and at 20 minutes and 34 seconds in the video below)
“Keep in mind that Rabbi Skorka:
* doesn’t believe that in the Divinity of Jesus, in fact to Skorka he is just a “dude”,
* is still anxiously awaiting the messiah,
* is a Zionist,
* is a huge supporter of same sex marriages and special rights for those with perverted behaviors,
* believes that the ‘Shoah’ has no historical precedent,
* believes that Nazism and anti-semitism originate in the theology of the Catholic Church,
* and feels that one cannot be a Christian unless one understands the essence of Talmudic Judaism and the debt owed to it by Christianity.”
So this “dialogue” with anti-Christian Jews like Soros comes as no surprise. Or is it dictation by the Jews? The same anti-Christian, anti-White hate-group Anti-Defamation League, that got rid of the highly erudite Bishop Richard Williamson.
See further “Francis sees rabbi Abraham Skorka as his roving ambassador”. Gloria.tv, callmejorgebergoglio; TradCatKnight and other concerned Catholic/Christian media also covered this disturbing development with the anti-Christian Talmudic Jews. About a month ago c. 10-11 January 2017.
“Dialogue, the Talmudic ‘other’, Chagall’s Talmudic Jesus, Bergoglio in the synagogue, Holocaustianity, etc…”
The Talmudic Skorka starts speaking at 10 minutes & 42 seconds.

Thanks for linking me to this 1P5 article. Much appreciated and God bless you. And thanks to 1P5 for covering this disturbing development.
Now we know. He is dressed in white. And he aint no saint.
This guy is the false prophet – as foretold in the Book of Revelation. He is trying to gather all religions under the same umbrella (the one world church) and water down our Catholic Christian faith such that we all share common points under this one world religion, sadly, the only point missing will be a path to salvation. That will be taken away, and that’s precisely what satan’s plan has been since the beginning. Don’t fall for this guy. He is the anti-pope, the false prophet. If he says black, you say white! It’s time for the remnant church to rebel against this guy. He is a communist and shouts about the evils of global warming, but you never hear him shout from the rooftops about abortion. Eyes open everyone – we are there!

What shall we tell these courageous and faithful Catholics that is going on in the Vatican?
I don’t know if I have whatever it takes to do that.https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/interview-cardinal-zen-begs-vatican-not-to-sell-out-to-chinese-govt?utm_content=buffer83a54&utm_medium=social&utm_source=+lifesitenews%2Bfacebook&utm_campaign=buffer
The pope should be burnt at the stake.
Goodbye troll
This kind of speculation as well as MDM “prophecies” are not welcome here.
Persist and you will no longer be able to leave comments
Could anyone point at one community “improved” by that organization? I could not find any.
Didn’t we just hear a whole lot of complaints about interference in American affairs by foreign governments. Well, the Vatican is recognized as a foreign government by the United Nations. This is just another example that the question “Is the Pope Catholic?” is no longer a rhetorical question.
Truly ASTOUNDING “End-Time Stuff” Here People! Dare I tell you who “End-Time” Scholars believe the Pope Is? (NO, Not the “Anti-Christ! But how does the “one who ushers in the anti-Christ sound?”) Now I don’t know, but The Catholic Church itself believes Pope Francis to be the “Last Pope” according to the Catholic Malachi Prophecy! Keeping an open mind, this kind of behavior and collusion sure make it seem more and more believable. Time will tell. https://onepeterfive.wpengine.com/pope-francis-praises-soros-funded-organization-encourages-resistance/
The anti pope? This is not church teaching. 100 Pius year old prophecy says he is the one. The one would religion pope. I don’t know but I trust the teachings of the church the Holy Spirit has protected. Not the parts where man works is broken in some way. The Malichi prophecy is probably true and we are headed for all that bad stuff the book of Revelation tells us. Like beheading will be brought back. Who in this day and age would of ever concieved that. We are well into it and we forget about God’s infinite mercy but we really forget about his judgement and justice. The rain is coming down and the ark is Our Lady. Mary and the weapons…The rosary and scapular. The warning of Garabandal is so near. The Triumph is also very near. A small remnant will be left. A recent seer said only 5%of people are shining back to heaving. Are u the 5. Now that puts things in perspective. When right is wrong and wrong is right. Now my return is near. Just saying!!!!
This is very troubling. Is Pope Francis aware of what George Soros stands for? Oh, how I hope this is fake news!
The pope is a patsy. His church got money so he speaks in favor of those that gave money. Organized religion always has been and always will be a scam. A money making machine. The guise of religion is just their method.
