Obedience
to the pope presumes the pope’s obedience to Christ, and
to the nearly 2000 year old Sacred Deposit of Faith that
Christ entrusted to His Bride the Church. In Holy Scripture,
in Sacred Tradition, and in the Deposit of Faith we
find the fullness of truth and the unerring certainty of the will of
God in all things. Who defects from any of the three defects from
all and who teaches otherwise teaches heresy. He is separated from
the Church. 1
No one is exempt because no one is immune to grievous sin — sin
so grave that excommunication is incurred latæ sententiæ
(automatically: as soon as the sin is committed). Canon Law
1463 states:
“Certain
particularly grave sins incur excommunication, the most severe
ecclesiastical penalty, which impedes the reception of the
sacraments and the exercise of certain ecclesiastical acts, and for
which absolution consequently cannot be granted, according to canon
law, except by the Pope, the bishop of the place or priests
authorized by them.”
But what if the
pope himself is the excommunicate (latae sententia)?
Who
is not confused? In the face of the near daily assaults — by the
present papacy itself and an episcopacy in apparent complicity with
him — on 2000 years of the
consistent teaching of the Church, on the very Deposit of Faith, and
on the validity of Sacred Scripture itself, what Catholic has not asked
— in the fearfully deep and most secret recesses of his soul — the question
“Whence?” From whom and from what comes this relentless
scourging of faith — even at the vertex of the Church itself — this overwhelming defection from all that
is holy to all that is vile?
“There is smoke in the sanctuary” and
instinctively we perceive it, recoil from it. It is proffered as
incense but is pungent to our senses — as the fume of
smoldering sulfur.
We are confused between the Word of God become Man and
the word of man become god.
What a fearful divide rends the Body of
Christ anew! See how the sheep are scattered! Need we tell you
who is the father of confusion and lies ...?
No Longer Inconceivable ...
Imagine
... the pope himself as the principle cause of confusion —
and defection — in the Catholic Church. It is nothing less than ...
diabolically clever.
Pray
for Pope Francis whom satan has sought to sift like wheat. 2
And sadly, it would appear, with much success and to great measure ...
But
take heart, despite these present evils:
“When Jesus
saw the crowds, He had compassion on them because they were confused
and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
(Saint Matthew 9.36)
However, Christ Himself is
the Good Shepherd.
