LOOK well at this cross on ANTIPOPE bergoglio that he wore to the delight of the freemasons for their reasons that can be discerned regarding bergoglio and why he and the freemasons conveyed the propaganda inversions that bergoglio was so called a "simple humble man of the poor". ANTIPOPE bergoglio proved himself to be a Formal Heretic and so much more that any observable servant of satan would appreciate . --- ANTIPOPE bergoglio did not choose a new cross, but kept the one he had as Archbishop, seems to reveal that he does not consider the dignity of a Pope to be essentially higher than that of a Bishop. This also is confirmed by his insistence on being called Bishop of Rome, instead of Pope. --- In TRUTH bergoglio proved himself to be the opposite of a humble servant of JESUS CHRIST as bergoglio headed a counterfeit "synodal church" as he worked toward destroying the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH instituted by our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. ANTIPOPE bergoglio revealed …More

James Comer:"there have been so many investigations of President Trump. I don't feel like we need to spend a whole lot of time investigating President Trump". When Comer told Fox TV'sSean Hannity, "You look at how Donald Trump is treated.

U.S. gold medalist Alysa Liu and her Chinese family have a story of dissent, standing up for the Uyghurs, and being harassed by CCP spies. by Massimo Introvigne Liu after her Olympic triumph. Credits. The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics have concluded, but the most unusual story from these Games is not about a disputed score, a judging scandal, or a world record. It revolves around a young American athlete who won gold while a man once hired by the Chinese Communist Party to spy on her family was being prosecuted back home in the United States. Alysa Liu, now 20, has always skated with incredible lightness, but few spectators understood the burden she carried off the ice. Long before she became the United States’ newest Olympic champion, she was the daughter of a Chinese dissident who fled his country after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Before stepping onto the podium in Milan, she had been watched—not by judges or fans—but by agents acting on behalf of the Chinese state. Her story …
"Chapter 13 - Josephus Another book of his entitled, On all ruling wisdom, in which the martyr deaths of the Maccabeans are related is highly esteemed. In the eighth book of his Antiquities he most openly acknowledges that Christ was slain by the Pharisees on account of the greatness of his miracles, that John the Baptist was truly a prophet, and that Jerusalem was destroyed because of the murder of James the apostle."
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; Stridon, Roman Empire/Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; aged 75-78, Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 11 Philo the Jew, an Alexandrian of the priestly class, is placed by us among the ecclesiastical writers on the ground that, writing a book concerning the first church of Mark the evangelist at Alexandria, he writes to our praise, declaring not only that they were there, but also that they were in many provinces and calling their habitations monasteries. From this it appears that the church of those that believed in Christ at first, was such as now the monks desire to imitate, that is, such that nothing is the peculiar property of any one of them, none of them rich, none poor, that patrimonies are divided among the needy, that they have leisure for prayer and psalms, for doctrine also and ascetic practice, that they were in fact as Luke declares believers were at first at Jerusalem. They say that under Caius Caligula …More
In the complicated and dense debate on the new episcopal consecrations in the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), [sic] is it really so extraordinary to ask for episcopal continuity for a consolidated pastoral reality when the Church has already created similar structures for communities?
There is one subtle difference. The SSPX does not ask for their own bishops with jurisdiction (as is the case for several of the examples given). The SSPX is a priestly society whose governing structure reports to the local ordinary to the extent the ordinary does not ask their members to violate Apostolic Tradition. The bishops in the SSPX are limited to ordinations, confirmations, blessing holy oils, and, now for the second time, consecrating bishops of similarly limited function. The SSPX was created to preserve the Apostolic Tradition (vs. the new tradition being created as changed since Vatican II) without disrupting the hierarchy of the Church. The post Vatican II popes want to replace Apostolic Tradition with new practices. Abandoning or changing Apostolic Tradition is against the charter of the SSPX.
Judge: IRS broke law ‘approximately 42,695 times’ in giving DHS data Dr. Jae Francis Immigration A federal judge has found that the Internal Revenue Service violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the ruling Thursday as part of ongoing litigation over a data-sharing arrangement between the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Federal law requires that before the IRS hands over a taxpayer’s address, a requesting agency must first provide the IRS with the name and address of the person it’s looking for. The requirement exists to ensure that the government can access confidential tax records only for individuals it has already specifically identified. The ruling finds that DHS did not follow this law. The judge …More
"Moreover, the seventh association of the Church declares that they are rich men placed in positions of dignity, but believing that they are rich, among whom indeed the Scriptures are discussed in their bedchamber, while the faithful are outside; and they are understood by none, although they boast themselves, and say that they know all things—endowed with the confidence of learning, but ceasing from its labour. And thus He says:— 15. That they are neither cold nor hot. That is, neither unbelieving nor believing, for they are all things to all men. And because he who is neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm, gives nausea, He says:— 16. I will vomit you out of My mouth. Although nausea is hateful, still it hurts no one; so also is it with men of this kind when they have been cast forth. But because there is time of repentance, He says..."
[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; Roman Greece/Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian] From the Third Chapter “The fifth class, company, or association of saints, sets forth men who are careless, and who are carrying on in the world other transactions than those which they ought— Christians only in name. And therefore He exhorts them that by any means they should be turned away from negligence, and be saved; and to this effect He says:— 2. Be watchful, and strengthen the other things which were ready to die; for I have not found your works perfect before God. For it is not enough for a tree to live and to have no fruit, even as it is not enough to be called a Christian and to confess Christ, but not to have Himself in our work, that is, not to do His precepts. The sixth class is the mode of life of the best election. The habit of saints is set forth; of those, to wit, who are lowly in the world, and unskilled in the Scriptures, and who hold the faith …More
