have something new from pope francis liz um what's actually not new in fact lifestyle covered it a
couple years ago but it was repopularized as things happen nowadays uh with a video from
pope francis and announcing something new but in the video they caught the background of the image
of a painting of judas uh that the pope has behind his desk why don't you tell us about that list
As we go from dechristianization in France to dechristianization in Vatican City,
I'm in this video address where it proves now that over Pope Francis's right shoulder
is the scandalous painting portraying a nude Jesus ministering to Judas, Christ on betrayer.
And it hangs in Pope Francis's personal study.
In 2021, the Vatican's own newspaper revealed that the artist donated the painting to Francis and said that it was behind his desk, but nobody had seen that proof.
And, you know, many times, many times in the last 11 years, Francis has made references.
to Judas. In 2021, in Francis's book, he states that Judas may not be in hell.
And of course, this idea directly conflicts with statements of previous popes, with our Lord
himself, who said Judas would be better off for him to have never been born. So why pay any
attention to Jesus's words when Pope Francis knows better?
And also in 2018, Francis pushed the notion that Judas may be saved, even though, you
know, repeatedly in the Council of Trent, it's very explicit that Judas lost body and
soul, and that his betrayal of the priesthood brought him everlasting destruction.
St. Peter himself was very clear that after Judas betrayed Christ.
he had to be replaced as an apostle because the death of other apostles were not replaced,
but Judas was. So, you know, the scripture goes on and on about, you know, Jesus calling
Judas the son of perdition. Here we have Francis again using, I think, mercy.
and trumping it above the words of Christ, the words of the Vatican councils, the words of the Magisterium and tradition and the Bible.
First of all, it's a very insulting picture, crude picture, very crude picture.
It reminds me of those paintings on the church walls.
I think it's Cardinal Paglia's Basilica, and so it's again trying to rewrite church history,
church teaching, and doctrine in the image and likeness of Jorge Bergoglio.
Father, does Francis have the wherewithal to contradict Christ, the teaching of the church
constantly about Judas's being in hell, or is this coming out of nowhere? What's going on?
To answer your question, yes, it's coming out of nowhere. Does he have the right? No,
he doesn't have any right at all. He certainly has no right as hope.
as bishop of Rome, as vicar of Christ, to teach such nonsense. If he wants to hold it,
that should be between him and his confessor. I'll tell you something else. I try to pay
no attention to these kind of opinions of his, because they're not matters of faith and morals,
and I'm not obliged to give them any consideration whatsoever. What it does offend
is my sense of taste.
I saw, I'm seeing what he, who would consider that art to put on his walls?
He's surrounded by the art of Michelangelo, of Raphael.
Good Lord, I mean, the greatest, the greatest artists in the world.
are right there and he puts that behind him this i mean this speaks a lot about uh about the man
it's it's a shame he has such poor taste that's i i i would just say that do i have to do i have
to buy anything that he holds as uh his his opinions his opinions mean nothing to me absolutely
nothing to me and then they are they are meaning a lot of nothing to a lot of people uh the more it
goes on people are people are waking up this is what i see as positive happening in the church
People are maturing. Catholics are maturing. They're understanding that their faith depends
on their faith. It depends on what they've put into it, what they understand. The answers are
there. And this is a time to mature, to be adults. I don't know if I said this the last
time we were on the program or doing the program.
Somebody not too long ago described the Latin mass to me as the mass for adults.
I thought that's a beautiful description of it.
And the funny thing, and with this I'll end, I promise,
the greater resistance there is to this pontificate
and so much of the nonsense that's coming out of it.
The greater the growth of the Latin mass all over the world, it is amazing.
It is amazing.
And that it scares Rome so much should also be noted, that it scares these people so much.
so there are a lot of good things happening there are a lot of very good signs of growth
uh so it's not we shouldn't despair completely that's all i'm trying to say
and and as far as francis and his art goes well no no just his taste alone is poor very poor
I think you're right about going through this purification, which is difficult for all of us.
But what's happening is both in our country and in the church, it's like the light is being shown on all the malefactors, right?
All the people who are, for the first time, it's like the, you know, the windows are opening up and we're seeing, you know.
Even I, who've been involved for, you know, decades in clergy abuse scandal, had no idea
the depth of both depravity among the bishops and cardinals and what was going on in the Vatican.
But every day, it's like the light is being shown on all the, you know,
I would call them friends of Bergoglio.
It's the only other way to describe them.
Who've been in hiding, quiet, waiting for that opportunity to surface.
And so it's jarring for all of us, but it's a cleansing.
What I asked Mother Pascualita years ago, a very open question, I said to her,
Mother, tell me the truth.
They were either lying to us yesterday, and they're telling us the truth today,
or they were telling us the truth yesterday, and they're lying to us today.
Which is it?
You said, they're lying to you today.
That's exactly right.
And isn't this a great time?
This is that light.
that sunlight that's coming in is the great disinfectant, isn't it?
It's opening, it's clearing, where people are seeing, people are growing up.
I think it's a great time to be alive, and I mean that.
It's sad because were he the CEO of a company,
Francis would be kicked out by the shareholders
because he's causing massive disruption.
Speaking of massive disruption from CEOs,
can you imagine Doritos is going the way of...
