Whether the usurper continues squatting on Peter’s throne or whether he is called to his judgment (hopefully after he repents and reverts to Catholicism), this situation isn’t going to go away overnight because the men who could have done something about it did nothing.
A few simple words could have stopped all of this dead in its tracks.
I am reminded of a poem by G. Studdart-Kennedy often quoted by Fulton Sheen called “Indifference”:
Yesterday, Archbishop Vigano had a curious statement in his opening paragraph stating that Bergoglio may already be dead “as some suspect”. Look, at this point nothing would shock me.
One might ask why this kind of cover-up. In other words, if true, what would it benefit the people involved?
Remember, he’s ill, he dying, he’s got 72 hours to live… but he’s also in “mild” renal failure that’s “under control”, he’s “resting peacefully”, and he’s “improving”. In one Vatican News Service report, he actually worked from his hospital suite! I’m just by ping to call absolute BS on that, and props to me for not spelling that one out.
If you’ve been in the presence of anyone who is dying, you know that he or she will likely rally at the end but not to the point of sitting up and making calls and signing documents. I do not believe the man is well enough to be making episcopal appointments and I think something fishy is going on here.
Wouldn’t be the first time that we:
Were lied to by the Vatican Press Office
A dying pope made appointments (Granted, he isn’t pope so there’s that).
Ann Barnhardt (whom I have no reason to doubt is accurate) reports that Jorge Bergoglio has been intubated. If true, this does not bode well for him at all.
Did no one care enough for this man’s immortal soul?
Assuming he has not died by the time you read this, continue to pray that he repent, revert to Catholicism, and die in the state of grace. It is looking slim that these things will come to pass but God is mysterious and His ways are not our ways.
I wrote on these pages not long ago that obedience would be used as a cudgel to bludgeon faithful Catholics (and more importantly, faithful priests) by those claiming to world the authority.
Watching the video above puts so much into perspective. Think about that one fact. 67% of people would continue to shock their fellow humans with high voltage electricity without question because someone told them to. Disgusting. More than that would continue to follow orders from a patently false shepherd because… obedience!
Apart from the obvious Word of God – “We ought to obey God rather than men” – there’s the blatant shuttering of anything resembling common sense and intelligence at play. This is all too surreal.
Listen carefully at the end to what he describes as “white cost syndrome”.
Are you one who does whatever your doc tells you?
I learned long ago that they work for me. Little story for you. At some point in my early 20’s I went into the doctor. I was a lot more trusting then. I went for some routine thing like a cold. Imagine me doing that today. Ha! I take my ivermectin and keep going. But that day I went to the doctor. There was a doctor I had never seen before. He was on call as my regular doc was out. I later learned my regular guy was on trial for running an OxyContin ring. Again, why did we trust? This guy’s first question was, “Do you smoke?” Knowing that he could’ve just looked in the chart and tired of having to answer this question every two seconds, I replied, “Tell you what… I’ll let you examine me and you can make a determination about my tobacco usage. If you’re right, I’ll give you my copay.” The point is that this wasn’t a life or death visit and it wasn’t a life or death issue. Some of these guy act as though they spent seven years determining whether one substance can be linked to every malady and it shows.
Im jot trashing all doctors but only trying to show the timidity and deference most patients exhibit. He’s working for you. Make him earn his pay.
67% would literally kill a man because they were told to. How many more will kill off the faith because they were just following orders?
Folks, I got off all that social media nonsense a while ago. Sorry but I'm not on Twitbook, Facepalm, YouHu, WingWang or any of the others. Maybe an event will happen to make me change my mind like Peter and Paul coming down with flaming swords and commanding it be so.
