Francis Preaches Against HIS OWN Rigid and Restorationists Temptations

“We need to overcome our self-absorption [cf. Synod about Synods], interior rigidity [cf. Traditionis Custodes], which is the temptation nowadays, that of the ‘restorationists’, who want a Church completely orderly, completely rigid: this is not of the Holy Spirit.”

Francis said this during a November 14 Eucharist for the "World Day of the Poor," although he is about to restore the Church of the 1960 with a rigid and merciless hand.

It's noteworthy that he spoke with the we-form, the old "pluralis majestatis" commonly used by the popes, an indication that he was speaking about himself.

Francis wants to overcome his rigidity “in order to make hope blossom amid this rigidity“ - whatever that means. The rest of the homily was about "tenderness," absorbing a "pollution around us" and turning it into "goodness," all things that stand in stark contrast to the his authoritarian pontificate.

The whole point of being rigid about the doctrines of the Faith is that it isn't self-absorbed. It is the opposite, it is God-absorbed.

”We need to overcome our self-absorption, our interior rigidity, which is a temptation of today’s restorationists, who want an ordered, all rigid, Church. This is not the Holy Spirit. We need to overcome this.”

Francis reminds that “we will be judged. For there, with the poor, is Jesus… in them is Jesus, who awaits us”. - BUT: When it comes to his favorite causes, he suddenly remembers God’s Judgment. When it comes to topics he dislikes, then it’s: “No one can be condemned for ever, because that is not the logic of the Gospel” (Amoris Laetitia, n. 297).

I don’t need his warnings about the poor, since I’m poor myself. “Working poor,” but poor nonetheless. (I call it “Ramen Noodle Poor)-you aren’t going hungry, because you always have plastic noodles to eat.

What I don’t get, is how he has figured out that all these restorer people are not of the Holy Ghost?
How did he determine that?

Also, what does flexibility look like? It doesn’t look very appealing, to this poor heathen. Just more self-aggrandizement for him. It’s crazy how I have such disdain for you guys’ pope, just from being against globalism and social justice warriors.
.
Has there ever been a pope this bad in terms of teachings?

Our Lady warned in key apparitions that the Great Apostasy would begin at the top - behold the truth of Her warning!

Gelukkig zijn de Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieken de Rooms Katholieke kerk aan het restaureren, want paus Franciscus is de Rooms Katholieke kerk aan het afbreken door de Afgod Pachamama te aanbidden.

St. Basil the Great said it best when speaking of heretics like Francis, "Only ONE offense is now vigorously punished, an accurate observance of our fathers' Traditions!" Francis, a typical faithless hypocrite. You must follow his rigid apostasy and immorality or you won't be 'saved.' You can believe in any false religion, you can be a sodomite, you can be a faithless jew, a pagan, a demon worshiping muslim, even an atheist and be saved. BUT if you hold fast to the True Faith you are going to Hell. So says the Judeo-Masonic pawn Francis. He is a wicked man for a perverse and faithless generation. He is a 'pope' for the perishing.

Do you think he’s dumb enough to think he will grow his number of believers with all that “flexibility” (which is, I assume, all the gay marriage, pro-abortion, lady priest stuff common in mainline protestant churches now)).
Aren’t the Lutherans, Anglicans, etc. dying, despite all that lame crap?
He cannot seriously want to actually harm his church though, right? He is at least a believer in his …More
