Ambongo: Fiducia supplicans Is Outside of the Spirit of Synodality

Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo of Kinshasa, the President of the African Bishops Conference, has spoken to KtoTv.com (17 March) about homosexual propaganda piece Fiducia supplicans that was perceived in Africa as a “cultural colonisation, a kind of Western imperialism”.
- The West is losing its own roots.
- The roots of the West are the values that the West brought to us during colonisation.
- We believed in these values, but today we see that for the West [= Francis' Church] these values no longer exist, and this confuses us.
- We have the impression that the West is no longer willing to accept its own culture, that everything is relativised and questioned, and this worries us all.
- The West [= the Church] brought us Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and today we have the impression that the West [= Francis' Church] is beginning to distance itself somewhat from this Gospel.
- 'Fiducia supplicans' wasn't necessary at that time when it was published.
- We had just come out of the first session of …More

Francis Is “in Poor Health, Can Barely Speak Or Walk”

"The Pope is in poor health, can barely speak or walk, and he radiates sadness. I was thrilled to reside in his home for four days, but I don't think he'll be there much longer".
Judge Andrew Napolitano, 73, a well-known political commentator in the US, wrote this on NewsMax.com (15 March) after a four-day meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences at which Francis participated over Zoom. Napolitano was living at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, Francis' residence.
One evening, Francis appeared in the refectory with a walker and an assistant on each arm. "It was bizarre when he sat with his back to us," writes Napolitano: "I wanted to go up to him and greet him, but a member of the Swiss Guard had warned us not to approach him or call out to him".
Two days later, Napolitano came within three metres of Francis: "I bowed gently and whispered 'Your Holiness'. He looked at me and moved on."
Napolitano is a critic of the Second Vatican Council. In the summer of 2023, he gave a speech at …More

@en.news I look at those photos of him as a boy and I am moved to pray for his salvation every day. I wouldn't believe him if he said it was raining or the sun was shining but I believe he desperately needs our prayers for deliverance from whatever may posses him. Jesus cast 7 devils out of St. Mary Magdalen. How many today in the world are obsessed or possessed by the demonic? Demoniacs may not be morally responsible for their behavior. All such need our prayers. "Oh, My Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of Hell and lead all souls to Heaven especially those who are in most need of Thy Mercy."

Eck published an interesting article about Tucho Fernández on Caminante-Wanderer.Blogspot.com (29 February).
- You have to think well to act well.
- To think well is to contemplate the truth.
- The phrase of the great physiologist John Hughlings-Jackson (+1911) gives us the key: "A lower function is regulated by the mere exercise of the higher function".
- When the higher function of the soul (intellect and reason) disappears, the lower function of the soul (the instincts) takes its place.
- With original sin, all the powers and faculties of the soul and the energies of the body rebelled and fell into anarchy.
- These faculties, powers and energies are brought back into their true channel through the exercise of the higher function, reason, and its dominion over them through training (asceticism) and enlightenment by the truth and grace of God.
- When this happens, even the sexual instinct, together with all the other instincts, is placed at the service of the contemplation of God in a …More

The Salesians in South Korea ordained three priests and a deacon in January.
After the ceremony, the newly ordained decided to turn the church into a concert hall, cheers and applause included.
Not everyone was happy: "Some have expressed concern that this performance may undermine the sanctity of ordination and the traditions of Catholicism," the creator of the performance admitted in the video below.
He insists that the performance took place separately from the ordination Mass, which was "solemnly celebrated in accordance with Catholic tradition".
It was only after the Mass had ended (but the bishop and his co-celebrants were still present) that the priest and deacon, dressed in liturgical garb, gave a very secular performance to thank those present, "in the tradition (sic!) of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Korea".
According to the author, "it was a moment that reflected the dynamism and energy of a religious order dedicated to youth work".
The song used in the performance was a hymn …More

On 11 February, Rev. Peter Dries presided at a carnival Eucharist in the parish of Saint Nicholas in Raeren, a German-speaking parish in the diocese of Liege, Belgium.
Rev. Dries dressed as an Indian with a yellow fringed costume. The video below quotes video sequences of the event.
The Eucharist alternated between rhyming speeches and "prayers" and songs, mostly swing music in 3/4 time with clapping, suitable for entertaining an audience in the late 1950s.
Also the Gospel and parts of the Eucharistic Prayer were transformed into free-style rhymes. After a Hallelujah with electronic sounds, Dries spoke the "words of consecration" over the bread and wine almost correctly.
Most of the statements during the clown Eucharist revolved around accusations against the Church. The following verse spread homosexual propaganda:
„In der Sexualmoral muss beenden er die Qual,
Die die Kirche sich erdacht und gar keine Freude macht.
Wie die Menschen lieben leben, das kann es verschieden geben.“ Their …More

It is a "sad reality" that people like Tucho Fernández who write pornographic books and "spread immorality in the Church" are promoted, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told the Fatima Confraternity on 14 March (video below).
For him, "this is one of the most obvious signs of how deep the crisis in the Church is".
He made it clear that Francis' [pseudo] blessing of homosexual concubines is an "abomination". It is a public "blessing of a sin" that cries out to heaven for vengeance, and a public sign of the acceptance of sin in the life of the Church.
Monsignor Schneider explains to Francis that it is "blasphemy against God" to use sacred things to promote sin.
When Latin Mass is not available, Schneider said in response to a question, people must attend a Novus Ordo Eucharist if it is presided over "in a worthy manner according to the rules of the Church".
But Monsignor Schneider stresses that there is no obligation to attend a Eucharist if the priest is a homosexual activist or promotes heresy. …More

It is important to preserve indigenous cultures, traditions and spiritualities in order to fight alleged man-made climate change with "ancestral wisdom", Francis fantasised to the feathered participants of the 14 March conference on "Indigenous Peoples' Knowledge and the Sciences".
Francis is terrified by the "urgent challenges facing the earth, our common home and the family of peoples" and wants to respond to them.
For him, the pagan worship of the American Indians is "part of the fabric of humanity". Believing that he is the Church (Louis XIV: "L'état c'est moi"), he exclaimed: "The Church is with you, an ally of the indigenous peoples and their wisdom". In reality, Francis spoke only for himself.
Talking for the sake of talking, he said: "An open dialogue between indigenous knowledge and science, between communities of ancestral wisdom and those of science, can help to address in a new, more integral and effective way such crucial issues as water, climate change, hunger and biodiversity." …More

Catholic clergy from Egypt are warning that relations with Orthodox and Islamic clerics are being derailed by Francis's homosexualist tract Sodoma Supplicans, which propagates [pseudo] blessings for homosexuals, after the country's Coptic Orthodox Church suspended the ecumenical dialogue over the issue.
Father Rafic Greiche - editor of the Egyptian Catholic weekly Hamil al-Risalah and a former spokesman for the Catholic Coptic Church - told OurSundayVisitor.com (13 March) that "Sodoma supplicans" was clumsily handled just to satisfy [decadent] dioceses in the West:
"While there was no consideration for the Islamic world, the document was a propaganda gift to the Orthodox churches, whose bishops and priests now insist that only Orthodox traditions are truly righteous", he said.
The Catholic Church in Egypt had also informed Francis of its refusal to accept homosexual blessings.
Another prominent Catholic priest, Father Ramony Shenouda from Tahta in Upper Egypt, said that "Sodoma supplicans …More

Cardinal Cordes Dead, Called Homosexual Blessings “Sacrilegious”

Curia Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, 89, died in Rome on 15 March. He was a bishop in the Roman Curia for 34 years, first as the Vice President of the Council for the Laity and co-initiator of World Youth Days, then as President of the Dicastery Cor Unum.
Cordes came to the Vatican by chance. In 1978, as auxiliary bishop of Paderborn, he was assigned to accompany Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Krakow on a visit to Germany, during which Wojtyla also accepted an honorary doctorate from the controversial theological faculty of Tübingen. Weeks later, Wojtyla was elected Pope and in 1979 he called Cordes to Rome.
A neo-conservative, Cordes supported new spiritual communities and movements and was a friend of Benedict XVI. He has been a moderate critic of Francis' pontificate, including in statements to LifeSiteNews.com.
Cardinal Cordes has defended the first Dubia cardinals who questioned Amoris Laetitia. He criticised the 2019 Synod on the Amazon, and called Francis' Pachamama ceremonies a lapse …More

The London oratory is a great gift to showcase what’s beautiful and Godly in our Catholic faith. Particularly at a time of muck rakes running the Church.
The fathers and all who work at the Oratory and the choirs they employ do such a tremendous service to Catholics in London.
Just imagine, each of those candles need to be replaced by hand several times a day by the sacristans.
You can, for example, walk in daily for confessions in church or ring the oratory porter’s bell and ask for the priest on duty.
There’s at least five scheduled masses every day and each evening dedicated to a devotion of sorts after Mass, stations of the cross in Lent etc. a steady and wholesome diet to nourish the spiritual lives of those fortunate parishioners and anyone who cares to come.
The downside is that at the final judgement, those who were given the oratory as a gift from God, more would be demanded of and held to account.

Archbishop Chaput about Tucho: Not Superficial But Wrong

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has the task of protecting the integrity of Catholic doctrine and practice, a duty that is vital to the lives of the faithful, writes retired Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput on FirstThings.com (14 March).
"What we believe - about the Eucharist, for example, or the nature and purpose of human sexuality - and how we understand and apply what we believe, constitute the 'glue' that seals Catholics as a distinct people."
Monsignor Chaput thinks that Tucho Fernández holds a "uniquely important office" but is very different in thought and substance from his predecessor, Joseph Ratzinger.
He quotes extensively from an essay by the Spaniard José Granados in 'Communio' (Winter 2023).
To dismiss Fernández's thought as superficial would be a mistake, Monsignor Chaput believes. For him, Tucho has "a significant work": "His thinking isn't shallow. It's simply wrong in some crucial ways, with big implications".
Tucho insists that the main outward …More

The main exponents of the Marxist heretical 'theology of the People' are: Lucio Gera, Rafael Tello, Justino O'Farrel, Juan Carlos Scannone and Carlos María Galli.
The Wanderer:
«Bergoglio is a Peronist ruler or, what is the same, a populist. His former seminary classmate and former Third World priest, Domingo Bresci, unraveled it very well in this interview. He cares about what the people say or think and not the elite of theologians and, much less, that of the semi-Pelagian restorationists among whom we count ourselves. We already know what General Perón thought of the Argentine “cow oligarchy”; Jorge Mario thinks the same about the theological oligarchy. Furthermore, let us not forget that, as the pontiff himself has said, his theological mentor was Lucio Gera and his “theology of the people”, according to which “the people” are not subject to evangelize …More

Wonderful Diversity: OFM Provincial Proclaims His "Homosexuality"

Father Markus Fuhrmann, OFM, head of the 200-member German Franciscan Province, has told urbi et orbi that he is a "homosexual".
He explained his confession to Katholisch.de (12 March) by saying that "I had to change something for the sake of my own honesty". Katholisch.de is run by the German bishops.
Already in January 2022, Fuhrmann took part in 'OutInChurch', a homosexual propaganda campaign by about 120 employees of the "Catholic" Church in Germany, which employs about 650,000 people (including 'Caritas').
Five months later, when the provincial chapter had to elect a new provincial, Fuhrmann was one of the candidates. Before his election, he warned the capitulars that his "sexual orientation" was no longer a secret: "If you elect me, you'll have a publicly outed provincial. Think about it". His confreres responded with applause and elected him.
The fact that practiced homosexuality is a sin is, for Fuhrmann, a "discriminatory statement" that does not reflect "the reality of life". …More

"We do not make church politics," said Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, without turning red, at a 14 March press conference on the Ex-Synod, reports VaticanNews.va.
One can only believe a Novus Ordo prelate and a politician when they "deny" something. Hollerich states that the text 'Sodoma supplicans' is "an important document" [for understanding the current decadence in the Vatican].
Speaking about Francis' homosexual [pseudo] blessing, the jolly prelate could not contain his homosexual enthusiasm: "I find it very beautiful because it wants to say that God loves everyone, even those in irregular situations". Paedophiles, National Socialists, and Mafiosi are also in "irregular situations".
Interestingly, Cardinal Hollerich insists that homosexual blessings will not be an issue to be taken up at the ex-synod [which will supposedly discuss everything] because it has already been dealt with by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, backed by the authority of Francis.

Next week, Francis will publish his autobiography 'Life. La mia storia nella Storia' (My Story in History).
The first excerpts were published on Corriere.it (14 March), a website reflecting the point of view of the oligarchs.
The book was written with the help of Francis' friend Fabio Marchese Ragona, a media activist in the service of regime propaganda. Marchese invents something like a "history of the 88 years of Jorge Mario Bergoglio", linking it to historical events such as Hiroshima or the Covid hysteria.
Francis recounts that his grandparents and their son Mario, Francis's father, planned to leave Genoa for Argentina on the SS Principessa Mafalda at the beginning of October 1927. These plans failed because they didn't have the money for the tickets. So, the trip was postponed.
The SS Principessa Mafalda sank off the coast of Brazil. Three hundred of the 1,252 passengers drowned. In February 1929, the Bergoglios left for Argentina.

The Vatican's Synod Office announced on 14th March the creation of ten 'study groups' to 'examine' issues raised during the October 2023 Ex-Synod.
They will report to the assembly in October, but will continue their work until June 2025. The ex-synod was originally scheduled to conclude in October 2023.
The study groups will be formed by the offices of the Roman Curia.
In a letter to Cardinal Mario Grech, the head of the ex-synod, Francis wrote that there are "important theological questions" to be discussed, but "since it is not possible to carry out this study" by October 2024, he is "arranging for them to be assigned to specific study groups". It is a fact, that Francis' Vatican is more interested in politics than in the truth or in theology.
Francis has decided that the ten study groups will deal with ten topics, such as:
- "mission in the digital environment"
- "the cry of the poor" (sic)
- the role and election of bishops - Some theological and canonical questions concerning specific …More

In a surprise move on 14 March, Francis accepted the resignation of Monsignor Declan Lang, 73, who was Bishop of Clifton, England, for the past 23 years.
His successor is the Dean of Clifton Cathedral, Reverend Bosco MacDonald.
Monsignor Lang became infamous after Traditionis Custodes for being the only diocese in the country where Holy Mass was completely banned, including at the Glastonbury Benedictine monastery. Lang is regarded as anti-Catholic and tyrannical.
It's unclear what prompted his resignation.

In Spain, there are many people who "work well" and there are allegedly "small groups of resistance", Francis told ReligionDigital.org (13 March), a webpage which had resisted all the popes until the arrival of Francis.
Francis attacks "all these 'mushrooms' that have sprung up now, these sedevacantists who look for every little thing to interpret in their own way" [as Francis himself does all the time].
In his usual attempt to belittle people he hates, Francis calls them "not bad people", but people with an alleged "sadness of heart". He then magnanimously says that "I feel sorry for them".
Sedevacantism is an ideology espoused by many groups divided among themselves that denies the validity of the popes, either since Vatican II or more recently since Francis.

Francis is "very old and very sick, and yet he insists that he is not", writes Caminante-Wanderer.Blogspot.com (12 March).
There is that "strange cold" that has not left him for a long time and the painful spectacle of his frustrated attempt to get into the Papa-mobile last week.
Francis wants to give the impression that he is in excellent health, because "a sick sovereign is a weak sovereign".
According to Caminante-Wanderer, he has ordered his most faithful partisans to prevent criticism from the "informal Catholic media".
But since Francis has no control over them, his only means is to pressure them, and if he cannot do that, then to slander them.
An example of the first is the [little known] Youtube.com channel "La Sacristía de la Vendée", which was recently shut down.
An example of the second is Francis' attempt to label Catholics as "ultras", "reactionaries", "indietrists", "semi-Pelagians" and "pickle-faces in vinegar" etc.

Excluding San Marino and Monaco (which have no data before 1998), Belarus (which has not published data since 2019) and Ukraine (for which there are no statistics on births in 2022), the number of births fell from 10,905,827 to 6,154,033, a drop of 43.6%.
The decline in the number of births in Europe was particularly marked in 2022, when it reached 5.2%. The Covid injections have contributed to this decline.

Playing the devil's advocate, I can understand why some couples are not wanting children. In Germany, a 12-year-old child can disobey the parents because the state is on the side of the child. A relative of mine was allowed to smoke and drink because the parents were afraid to enforce basic principles. In the US, children can change their sex without the permission of the parents, and filthy books etc. cannot be shielded from students in grammar school. So the parents have little or no control/influence over their children. Because the state has become demonic, some couples have decided it is not worth the trouble to bring children into the world. Even though this is totally against magisterial Catholic teaching, one can see what happens when the state interferes with traditional family life.
