-
He abolishes the Commandments
of God at will (specifically the 1st, the 6th,
and the 9th — we are awaiting the rest)
-
He has the inconceivable audacity
to re-write the ending of the only prayer that
Jesus Himself explicitly taught us (the Pater Noster,
Our Father) to make it more acceptable to “modern” sensitivities.
-
He repudiates the explicit
Scriptural condemnation of homosexuality in both the Old and
New Testaments (“God made you like this.” and “Who am I to
judge?”)
-
He teaches that Hell does not
exist — despite Christ’s own frequent teachings concerning it
— not simply as a possibility, but as an distinct eschatological
reality to be averted at all costs. For Francis unrepentant
sinners simply vanish, cease to be, upon their death. The most
obvious consequence of this denial involves abolishing the fundamental
Christian concept pertaining to the notion of Judgment —
both the Particular and the Last Judgment,
both of which consequently become meaningless.
-
For Francis all religions
are willed by God — even those that are mutually contradictory
and manifestly evil — and which deny or denigrate Christ.
Every religion leads to God — despite what Christ said.
-
Francis insists that, “Women in
the Church are more important than bishops
and priests.” (Why emphasize women to the exclusion of the
laity in general? Francis is a covert Feminist).
-
Francis reproached Filipinos,
telling them that Catholics should not “breed like rabbits”
— but practice “Responsible
Planned Parenthood.”
-
The Church, for Francis is not
the unspeakably beautiful Bride of Christ — it is simply
a “Field Hospital”.
-
The Church has placed too great
an emphasis on abortion. There are other pressing issues
— such as Environmentalism. In fact the current plague
COVID-19 is not some aboriginal chastisement from God, or even
something biological in origin: it is Mother Earth, the environment
“having a fit.”
-
Oh, yes — atheists go to Heaven,
too, together with animists, et alia. (Why then did Christ
die on the Cross?)
-
At the Foot of the Cross,
Francis insists that “Mary surely wanted to say to
the Angel: ‘Liar! I was deceived.’ ”
-
“I imagine Mary as a normal girl,”
Francis said, “a girl of today, open to getting married, to having
a family”. However — Mary was not just “any” girl in Holy Scripture:
at the Annunciation the Archangel Gabriel hailed her
as “full of grace”, saying,
“blessed art thou among women”
and that she would “conceive the
Son of the Most High.”
-
For Francis, “Proselytism is
solemn nonsense. It makes no sense. We need to get to know each
other, listen to each other…” — despite the very last command
of Christ in the Gospel of Saint Matthew:
“Teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
-
“Jesus”, Francis further claims,
“came to the world to learn to be a man
and, and being man [and with no mention of Christ’s divinity],
to walk with men.” Actually, Christ came into the world (the
Incarnation) to redeem the world, to suffer for our sins,
to overcome the devil and death — and above all to save
souls.
-
Francis presumes to authoritatively
pontificate on economics and politics in a way that
an economist or a politician would never dare presume to authoritatively
speak about matters religious.
-
On the 50th anniversary of “Earth
Day” he reproached the Faithful, stating that “We have sinned
against the earth.”
-
“God”, Francis assures us, “always
forgives; we humans sometimes forgive, but the earth never
forgives. If we despoil the earth, its response will be very
ugly.” Can we really look to
Gaia —
Mother Earth — to absolve us for using plastic as we look
to God to absolve us from our sins?
-
Instead of teaching the Faith,
Francis laments the “increasing use and power of air-conditioning”
as inimical to environmentalism — even while Domus Sanctae
Marthae where he lives is air-conditioned and has refrigerators
as well. “Rigid Catholics” — whom he detests — would
rightly “rigidly” call this hypocrisy.
