The Vatican, Pope Francis,
and the “Light Show”
... minus
“the Light”
(Jesus Christ)
“from some
fissure the smoke of Satan has entered into the temple of God”
Paul VI
June 29, 1972,
It would frighten any child. It should
frighten all adult Catholics.
The following
are pictures from the presentation, authorized
by Pope Francis and the Vatican to conclude — as the
finale — the celebration for the Year of Mercy (combined
with Pope Francis's Environmental Encyclical Laudato
si.
Archbishop Rino Fisichella,
the president of the Pontifical Council for the “New”
Evangelization (rather than the “old”
that emphasized Christ ... ) described the event as:
“unique
for its genre and for the fact that it is being displayed for
the first time on such a significant backdrop. These illuminations
will present images inspired of Mercy, of humanity, of the natural
world, and of climate changes.”
Look and listen below,
and tell us where you find any images or sounds “inspired of
Mercy”.
Most likely they will offend
you as verging on (if not culminating in) sacrilege; they will challenge
your imagination in any attempt to accommodate these images and sounds
with God and Holy Mother Church.
Note that there is
not one single sacred image: not of Christ, of His Holy Mother
Mary, or of anything remotely tangential to Christianity
Is this
a subliminal commentary on the Twin Towers as the “consequence”
of “sinful capitalism”, “climate change”, and ...
“payback”?
The
music could be from a horror movie,
and the images and sounds are deeply unsettling, even frightening. If
these are images and sounds of Mercy — I politely refuse
the offer.
And not one of the most beautiful and
amazing of God’s
gifts: a Baby in a mother’s
womb! And the presentation was on the FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE
CONCEPTION!
Beasts. Growls. Grunting. Aborigines. Almost a collage of scenes
from Hell. Especially the sounds.
I am ashamed of this ... even humiliated ...
NOT ONE IMAGE OF JESUS ... or MARY ... or of the CHURCH! But
everything else conceivable (and frightening) is spattered across the
VATICAN!
I have no words to describe
my shame as a Catholic. What a message to the world! “It’s
not CHRIST, stupid ... it’s
CLIMATE CHANGE!”
And this irreverent farce of techno-genius was the finale
of the opening celebration for the Year of Mercy declared
by Pope Francis? Scandalous!
From all appearances, we will soon be worshipping at the zoo.
It was, in a single word, demonic.
Quo vadis, Francis?
