The New Reality
The Great Papal Interview: "Benedict XVI Was a Slave"
Pope Francis gave an in-depth interview to AP's Nicole Winfield on current issues.
(Rome) Interviews by popes are only given very rarely. Under Pope Francis, this has changed. He uses the interview as a main means of communication. Recently, he granted one to the Associated Press (AP), one of the Big Three international press agencies. The interview published yesterday was conducted by the AP Vatican scholar Nicole Winfield in Spanish with a potpourri of topics from Benedict XVI. to Cardinal George Pell to papal critics and the wealth of Africa, from the Ukraine conflict to the arms trade to the trivialized People's Republic of China and a ridiculed Cardinal Zen, from homosexuality and the sexual abuse scandal, from the women's diaconate to the Amazon Synod and synodality to the only "so-called synodal way" of the German bishops and from his own resignation, the Rupnik case to a visit to Argentina – with some interesting statements.
Evil Dominican to Address Bishops
Edit: this groomer has been at this for a long time. You might wonder what Bergoglio’s predecessors were thinking by presiding over the election of this degenerate to head the Dominican Order.
If anyone is a poster child for Amoris laetitia, it’s this man.
This is the calibre of man who has been controlling church institutions for the last 70 years, but as with Don Marco Bisceglia, who died penitent and reconciled to the Church from AIDS in 2018, there is hope.
[Catholic Snooze Network] Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich announced Monday that the October 2023 session of the Synod of Bishops on synodality will begin with a three-day retreat led by a Dominican preacher whose statements on homosexuality have previously sparked controversy.
Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe will lead the Catholic bishops and participants in the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in a retreat near Rome from Oct. 1–3 at the invitation of Pope Francis, according to the cardinal.
Radcliffe, 77, served as head of the Dominican Order from 1992 to 2001. His heterodox statements, particularly those on homosexuality, have previously caused controversy in the Church.
In the Anglican Pilling Report in 2013, Radcliffe wrote that when considering same-sex relationships, “we cannot begin with the question of whether it is permitted or forbidden! We must ask what it means and how far it is eucharistic. Certainly it can be generous, vulnerable, tender, mutual, and nonviolent. So in many ways, I think it can be expressive of Christ’s self-gift.”

Bishops Push Aberrosexuality and Aberrosexuals Prey on Children
These news stories are contrasted by the breathtaking dishonesty of evil Bishops like McElroy of San Diego are working hard to smooth things over, but we’ll see if the public continues to swallow this cool aide. Some will remember that McElroy is a creature of the predator ex-Cardinal McCarrick. The bishop calls the “animus” against these perverts “demonic”, but in light of the way ecclesiastical effeminates like himself abuse their power and in light of the way so many prelates, and Bergoglio himself, have covered up the sex abuse of male children by aberrosexual demons, it’s completely understandable there’s an animus.
It's outrageous that this clerical apologist for deviancy should be allowed to attack the Catholic faithful like this.
It is a demonic mystery of the human soul why so many men and women have a profound and visceral animus toward members of the L.G.B.T. communities. The church’s primary witness in the face of this bigotry must be one of embrace rather than distance or condemnation. The distinction between orientation and activity cannot be the principal focus for such a pastoral embrace because it inevitably suggests dividing the L.G.B.T. community into those who refrain from sexual activity and those who do not. Rather, the dignity of every person as a child of God struggling in this world, and the loving outreach of God, must be the heart, soul, face and substance of the church’s stance and pastoral action.
A little context is in order:
AMDGBergoglio Promoting Globohomo Again
Edit: in the water is wet section of the blog. He at least admits it’s a sin, but does he know what a sin is?
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust,” saying God loves all his children just as they are and called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.
“Being homosexual isn’t a crime,” Francis said during an exclusive interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.
Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops in some parts of the world support laws that criminalize homosexuality or discriminate against the LGBTQ community, and he himself referred to the issue in terms of “sin.” But he attributed such attitudes to cultural backgrounds, and said bishops in particular need to undergo a process of change to recognize the dignity of everyone.

Pelosi Seeks Exorcist for Home
[New York Post] Former House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi summoned priests to rid her luxe San Francisco home of evil spirits after a man allegedly attacked her husband with a hammer.
“I think that weighed really heavy on her soul. I think she felt really guilty,” said Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra, the New York Times said.
“I think that really broke her. Over Thanksgiving, she had priests coming, trying to have an exorcism of the house and having prayer services,” she added.
Fr. Arturo Albano, the pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Church, Pelosi’s local parish, insisted his staff was not involved in such a rite.
“As far as I know, no exorcism or priest services were performed at her home,” Albano told The Post.
But Pelosi may have gone outside her local church hierarchy for holy help.
Archbishop Cordileone has effectively banned Pelosi from receiving the Communion.

Pope Francis Can't Explain the Vocations Crisis -- Bergoglio is Obsessed with Condemning the Gospel
Pope Francis granted an interview to the magazine Mundo Negro of the Comboni Missionaries. Also present was Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso (right).
(Rome) The magazine Mundo Negro of the Comboni Missionaries, based in Madrid, published an interview with Pope Francis on 13th January. It is not the first he granted to this magazine. In it, Francis again denounces proselytism as a "grave sin". So much is widely known. It is more remarkable that Francis also says that he "cannot explain" the vocations crisis. He also regrets that the "liturgical ferments" that existed after the Second Vatican Council have disappeared.
The interview, which was conducted on December 15 but only now published, lasted 35 minutes. It was led by the editor of Mundo Negro, Fr. Jaume Calvera. Also present was Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot. Francis had appointed Cardinal Ayuso titular bishop in 2016 and president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (now Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue) in 2019. In the same year he also created him cardinal.
According to Francis, the mission of the Church has changed "thank God" through the Second Vatican Council. He refers to "two interesting signs":
"The first careless ferments of the Council have already disappeared. I am thinking of the liturgical ferments, which are almost non-existent. And an anti-conciliar resistance is forming, a resistance to the Council, which did not exist before and which is typical of every process of maturation. But many things have changed... On the missionary side, respect for cultures, the inculturation of the Gospel, is one of the values born as an indirect consequence of the Council. Faith is inculturated and the Gospel takes on the culture of the people, there is an evangelization of culture. Inculturation of faith and evangelization of culture are these two movements, and when I speak of the evangelization of culture, I do not mean the reductionism of culture or the ideologization of cultures or all that is a serious temptation today, but I speak of evangelization, of proclamation and nothing else, with great respect. Therefore, the gravest sin a missionary can commit is proselytism. Catholicism is not proselytism."
InfoVaticana describes Francis' frequent criticism of "proselytism" as an "obsession" of the Pope, deliberately keeping the term vague, as well as "clericalism" or "rigidity," to name two other buzzwords of papal vocabulary. They are not precisely defined but are used for harsh accusations: "The gravest sin a missionary can commit is proselytism."
"I don't see any explanation"
When asked whether the West is a "mission territory" today, Francis is surprised, almost perplexed. A few sentences earlier, the Pope called the Second Vatican Council a great achievement that had changed so much. For almost 60 years, the official ecclesiastical line has been that the Council has brought a "new spring". However, nothing of this can be seen and felt. Faced with reality that contradicts this narrative, Francis declares that he has no explanation for it.
"Five countries—Belgium, Holland, Spain, Ireland and Quebec—have filled the world with missionaries. Today, there are no vocations in these five areas. It's a mystery. And that in less than 100 years. How can we explain this? I don't see any explanation for that."
The inexplicable does not seem to give Francis sleepless nights, because when asked immediately afterwards whether this development worries him, he said:
"No, it does not worry me, in the sense that we are melting away, this is a sign of the times that signals worldliness, that signals a level of development that sets values elsewhere. It signals a crisis. There are crises, and crises must be lived through and overcome."

George Neumayr: Bergoglio is a Communist Groomed by Pedro Arrupe
A Communist Pope. An interview with author George Neumayr
[Gloria,tv] Maike Hickson: You report that, while in Argentina as a younger priest, then-Father Bergoglio was close to the Jesuit General Superior, Fr. Pedro Arrupe who himself opened up the Jesuit Order to socialist ideas. Could you explain this thesis a little more?George Neumayr: He was a protege of Arrupe, who identified Bergoglio as a rising liberal star in the order. That is why he made him a provincial at the age of 36. Arrupe presided over the order during its most intense period of liberalization and used Bergoglio as a liberal enforcer at the infamous worldwide gathering of Jesuits in 1975 that sealed the order's socialist and modernist direction.

George Neumayr Has Died
Edit: Holy Steve says he was just "interacting" with him. Holy Steve doesn’t just talk to people, he interacts with them!
MSN Finds that Middle Aged People Are Dying From Missing Church
Edit: dropping out of regular church attendance like Holy Steve did has left a lot of middle aged people out of the public eye, and lack of communion has left them rudderless. There’s less room for accountability and more room for deep acedia and despair to set in.
Of course, if all we had was the Novus Ordo, that would be pretty depressing. Who wants to get up on Sunday morning to attend an off the cuff production with crappy music by sexual predators like Marty Haugen with a creepy Pachamana idol looking at you from the sanctuary?
[Market Watch] So-called deaths of despair such as from suicide or alcohol abuse have been skyrocketing for middle-aged white Americans.
It’s been blamed on various phenomenon, including opioid abuse. But a new research paper finds a different culprit — declining religious practice.
The working paper, from Tyler Giles of Wellesley College, Daniel Hungerman of the University of Notre Dame, and Tamar Oostrom of The Ohio State University, looked at the relationship between religiosity and mortality from deaths of despair. The paper was circulated by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Evil Cardinal Schönborn Attacks Archbishop Gänswein
Edit: the Pornokardinal is incensed that ++Gänswein outed him to the rest of the liberals by mentioning how he supported Benedict accepting his election as pontiff.
Viennese cardinal confirms information from Benedict XVI's private secretary: "Yes, that was so. So far, I have deliberately kept silent about it." Reprimand for publication: "Unseemly indiscretion."
Cardinal Christoph Schönborn was the person who, in the event of his election as Pope, encouraged Joseph Ratzinger to accept this decision of the conclave. This small "revelation" can be found in the book written by the long-time papal secretary Archbishop Georg Gänswein under the title "Nothing but the truth" ("Nient'altro che la verita"), which was published last week in Italian.
Cardinal Schönborn confirmed Gänswein's statements on Wednesday, according to which he, Schönborn, had written Cardinal Ratzinger "a letter just in case" before the conclave. "Yes, it was. So far, however, I have deliberately kept silent about it, although it happened within the framework of the Cardinal Assembly, and not at the conclave itself," said the Archbishop of Vienna.
At the same time, the cardinal distanced himself from Gänswein's book project, calling it an "unseemly indiscretion." Schönborn said: I don't think it's right that such confidential things are published, especially by the personal secretary."
Benedict's "Guillotine" speech
Specifically, the private secretary of Benedict XVI. refers in his book in the chapter on "Schönborn's letter" ("La lettera di Schönborn") to a speech by the newly elected Pope a few days earlier to a German group of pilgrims on April 25, 2005. At that time, Benedict XVI. spoke surprisingly openly about his emotional state at the conclave and said: "When slowly the course of the votes made me realize that the guillotine would fall on me, so to speak, I felt dizzy. (...) I said to the Lord with deep conviction: Do not do this to me! You have younger and better people who can approach this great task with a completely different vigour and strength. I was very touched by a small letter written to me by a confrere from the College of Cardinals."
The fact that Cardinal Schönborn was meant by the "confrere" mentioned by the Pope has only now been made public by Gänswein with his book.
And what was the content of the letter? Benedict XVI. also gave detailed information about this in his speech to his compatriots at that time: "He (Schönborn, note) reminded me that I had placed the sermon at the divine service for John Paul II from the Gospel under the word that the Lord said to Peter at the Sea of Galilee: Follow me! I had shown how Karol Wojtyla received this call from the Lord again and again and had to give up a lot again and again and simply say: Yes, I follow you, even if you lead me where I did not want to."
The confrere (Schönborn, note) wrote to me: If the Lord should now say to you, 'Follow me', then remember what you preached. Don't refuse! Be obedient, as you said of the great departed Pope. That fell into my heart. The ways of the Lord are not comfortable, but we are not made for convenience, but for the great, for the good."
With Benedict XVI. the Du form of informality
Gänswein also mentions in his book that Schönborn and Ratzinger were on a first-name basis. Apart from Benedict's childhood friends, Cardinal Schönborn, who belonged to the Ratzinger circle of students, was one of the few who addressed his former teacher as you, writes Gänswein.
The second episode described in Gänswein's book - a short but very personal conversation between the newly elected Pope Benedict XVI. and Cardinal Schönborn - had also happened in this way, confirmed the Archbishop of Vienna

Russian Orthodox Hockey Player Resists Aberrosexual Tyranny
[Cuzz Blue] The NHL over the past year has made a concerted effort to portray itself as America’s most woke sports league, even at the expense of player safety. On Tuesday night, however, an NHL player actually decided to take a stand against his own team’s effort to push the woke agenda.
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov, a devout Russian Orthodox Christian, refused to wear his team’s gay pride jersey Tuesday night. He explained that he made a choice to stay true to himself and his faith.
Provorov also made clear that he respects those who have a different view from him and did not elaborate further.

Muslims Will Inherit Germany
[RMX] Following the mass riots involving migrant youth on New Year’s Eve, German-Iranian author and commentator Behzad Karim Khani is criticizing the debates about the young men of foreign origin, which he says are fueled by historical racism. He asserts that regardless of what Germans think about the riots, migrants are not only going to stay in the country but will eventually “inherit Germany” from ethnic Germans, who are “dying off.”
“We are here — not just for your pension funds, but because we make sure that the Aryan nightmare never becomes a reality in this country,” he wrote in one of Germany’s top media outlets, Berliner Zeitungin a piece entitled “Behzad Karim Khani on New Year’s Eve: Integrate yourself!“
Khani, who was accepted to Germany as a political refugee from Iran, along with his family, when he was 10 years old, writes that migrants will inherent Germany. He adds that time is on the side of migrants, as ethnic Germans are “dying out.”
