Dalai Lama Caught Being Creepy — Being Ratioed on Twitter

Edit: he’s a religious figure for movie stars and “saviors” of mankind.  He’s on the level of John Paul II and Bergoglio or Bono.

He’s sure got a lot of questionable associations. He’s being destroyed in the Twitter comments.

New Delhi CNN — The Dalai Lama has apologized after a video emerged showing the spiritual leader kissing a child on the lips and then asking him to “suck my tongue” at an event in northern India.

 In a statement Monday, the office for the Dalai Lama said he “wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused,” adding he “regrets” the incident.

 “His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras,” the statement said.

Cardinal Müller: "The Pope Can Never Decide to Bless Homosexual Pairs"

Cardinal Gerhard Müller: The Congregation for the Faith should correct Bishop Johan Bonny.

“The blessing of rainbow couples is heresy. The Belgian bishops cannot legitimize them by referring to alleged statements by the Pope. Even if he had said so, it is not within his competence to alter revelation." Cardinal Gerhard Müller, who was prefect of the Roman Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith until 2017, put the coordinates in the Church in clear terms, revealing where there are serious undesirable developments, especially in Germany, but also in Rome. He also clarified: "To attack the ancient Rite is absurd."

Nico Spuntoni of La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana conducted an interview with Cardinal Gerhard Müller on the occasion of the publication of the Italian edition of his book "The Pope. Mission and Ministry”. The German edition was published in 2017.

NBQ: Your Eminence, why did you characterize the words of Pius XI, who condemned the emergence of national churches, as "truly prophetic words that retain their meaning even in today's confrontation with media-driven totalitarian claims"?

Cardinal Müller: The national church is a complete contradiction of God's will to save all mankind and to unite all people in the Holy Spirit. One cannot reduce the faith to a single nation as the Orthodox do with autocephaly. This is not a Catholic principle. We are the Catholic Church, ie universal, for all peoples.

NBQ: The thought inevitably goes to what is happening in 'your' Germany. Do you fear that the results of the German Synodal Way could infect the next synod on synodality?

Just published Italian edition of “The Pope. Mission and Ministry"

Cardinal Müller: Yes, of course. The proponents and supporters of the German synodal path do not want to separate themselves from the Catholic Church, but on the contrary, want to become its engine. Their agenda has been known for more than half a century and is still that of the Central Committee of German Catholics. They are not the true representatives of the German lay faithful, but officials who have been fighting for decades against priestly celibacy, against the indissolubility of marriage and for the ordination of women.

NBQ: These proposals were presented during the synodal meetings as a solution to the problem of child abuse by clerics. Didn't the admission of guilt and resignation over their failure on this issue by German bishops who were key players in this path undermine the credibility of this narrative?

Cardinal Mueller: The truth is that in Germany these sad events committed by some priests have been used to a large extent to push through an agenda that existed before and which has nothing to do with this tragedy. On the other hand, the mainstream media in Germany do nothing but praise the changes in teaching promoted by the Synodal Path. For them, only the Frankfurt congregation is good in the church, while everything else is slandered, using labels like conservative or even fascist! The majority of the German press is for the Synodal Way, not to improve the Church but to destroy it. It is no coincidence that they have cases of pedophilia, committed by priests while remaining silent on those committed in sport, in universities or in politics [Or among other denominations and religions, like Judaism], where the percentage of crimes is even higher. Those who have always opposed priestly celibacy and the Church's sexual morality have now found in the tragedy of child abuse by priests an instrument to destroy what they have always wanted to destroy.

NBQ: Regarding the German Synodal Way, did you hear the intervention of the Bishop of Antwerp Monsignor Johan Bonny, who supported the blessing of homosexual couples by propagating the scheme brought to Rome by the Belgian Bishops' Conference? Allegedly, the Roman authorities told the Belgian bishops that it was their decision and even the Pope told them: "It's your decision, I can understand that".

Cardinal Mueller: Anyone who represents heterodox positions today tries to legitimize themselves by referring to alleged statements or interviews by Francis. But in doing so, they exceed their competence. There have been many heretical bishops throughout history. This pro-rainbow blessing scheme is clear heresy. To legitimize it, they cannot cite a moment when the Pope said something to them. Even if the Pope actually said so, they can never institute the blessing of same-sex couples as if it were marriage. That's absolutely impossible. It is not within the competence of a pope to change revelation and the basis of Christian and Catholic morality. And certainly, neither can bishops' conference do this.

NBQ: Do you think that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith should intervene to reprimand the Bishop of Antwerp?

Cardinal Müller: Yes, it must intervene.

NBQ: If you were still Prefect, would you have intervened?

Cardinal Müller: Maybe that's why they no longer wanted me as Prefect because I would have intervened (laughs, editor's note). That is the task of the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. You can't just argue with political or diplomatic logic. The time has come to confess the truth.

NBQ: In your book, you write about the Second Vatican Council that "there can only be a hermeneutic of reform and continuity". A few days ago, to justify the restrictions against the so-called Tridentine Mass, Cardinal Arthur Roche said that "the theology of the Church has changed". How do you judge these words?

Cardinal Mueller: As a theologian, I am not happy about this statement by Cardinal Roche. The belief is always the same. We cannot change beliefs. Theology evolves, but always on the basis of the same faith. The Second Vatican Council did not change belief in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the sacramental representation of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the real presence of Jesus Christ. Only the liturgical forms have developed from this good idea of the active participation of all believers. The external form of the liturgy has evolved, but there are no substantive changes. I think to express oneself, one should do so with a deep understanding of the theology of the development of the Mass and the liturgy. The great councils on the Eucharist - the Council of Trent and the Second Vatican Council - teach that there has never been a single rite in the Catholic Church.

NBQ: So you see no threat to the unity of the Church in the so-called Tridentine Mass?

Cardinal Müller: No, not as such. There are some who say that this is the only orthodox form and that the form developed after Vatican II is invalid. These are extremists. But one should not react by wanting to hit a few extremists in an extremist way and punishing the great majority of these communities who love the Church, the Pope, and the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. There are extremists on both sides: on the one hand, there are those who say that orthodoxy depends only on the Rite. So the Greek Catholics don't have a true Mass? That is absurd. These public statements are made without deep thought.

NBQ: Would you advise the Holy Father to withdraw the restrictions in the Rescriptum ex audientia signed by Cardinal Roche?

Cardinal Müller: It would be better to follow the line of Benedict XVI. to hold, the greatest connoisseur of the liturgy and also the greatest theologian. The supreme authority of the Church must always seek reconciliation. It takes a dialectic to find a path to peace. In Christ, the Church is the symbol of the unity of mankind. And I'll add something else.

NBQ: Please...

Cardinal Müller: These communities, linked to the so-called Latin Mass, suffer from the prejudice that they are enemies of the Second Vatican Council. But there are bishops in Germany who openly deny Vatican II! They question it or say it's just a stage in the past. They do not accept the teaching of the Council.
What is Rome's reaction to this? Why is there a reaction against one side with all authority, while against the other side - which promotes the blessing of homosexual couples, for example - there is practically no reaction?

NBQ: In 2022 the long-awaited reform of the Roman Curia saw the light of day, decided in the General Congregations before the Conclave in 2013. In your book, you write that "waiting for a plan from experts in politics, finance and economics to reform them misses the mark". So you don't agree with the innovation of Praedicate Evangelium that lay people can also become dicastery leaders.

Cardinal Müller: If you look at the dicastery as a kind of civil institution of the Vatican, the layman can also be a minister. But the Roman Curia is different from the Vatican City State. It is a Church institution. The congregations are now called 'dicasteries' to avoid an ecclesiological term. I am against the secularization of the Roman Curia. The head of the communication department can be a competent layman. But a clear distinction must be made between the institutions of Vatican City, which is a state and which the Church cannot govern. The Vatican has nothing to do with the Church.

NBQ: In plain language: a layman can be governor of Vatican City State but not direct the former Holy Office?

Cardinal Müller: Exactly. The basis of the Roman Curia is the College of Cardinals. There is a Roman Curia that serves the Pope in his ministry to the universal Church. I think those who designed these innovations didn't think about all of this. We've looked at the financial scandals, but haven't thought enough about what the Roman Curia really is on a theological level. Vatican II speaks of the Roman Curia, but as an ecclesiological body: what touches the Church is the business of our congregations and of the Pope as Pope, not as head of state.

Fake Photos of Fake Pope Fool Boomers All Over the Internet!

 

Choose Your Destroyer!

Edit: showing the Stuntpope appearing in a stylish jacket by pedophile fashion label, Balanciaga,  the internet created a fake photo of the Pope which fooled a lot of people. We’re not sure why this is such a problem since most people believe his Christian witness is genuine. The AI has captured a satirical truth about this man.

Can we have AI give us a real Pope?

[jewser] Pope Francis sure looked stylish over the weekend, with viral photos showing up on Twitter of him wearing a white puffer jacket. The problem is that the pontiff wore no such coat. The images were fakes, but they were high-quality fakes that fooled a lot of people. 

• The origins: As New Scientist explains, the images were generated by the artificial-intelligence tool Midjourney, which creates such images based on text prompts. They first surfaced on Reddit before migrating to Twitter over the weekend.
• A milestone? "I think Balenciaga pope might be the first real mass-level AI misinformation case," observed internet culture expert Ryan Broderick on Twitter. "Kinda cool to watch tbh."

Cardinal Marx Removed from Cardinal Council — Sign of Papal Displeasure

Pope Francis made a major reshuffle of the Council of Cardinals yesterday.  The exchange of the European representative is particularly striking: Cardinal Reinhard Marx was replaced by Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich.  A nod to the German Bishops' Conference and the "synodal path".

 (Rome) The Cardinal Council, which advises the Pope on Curial reform and the leadership of the universal Church, was fundamentally re-appointed by Francis yesterday.  There are several notable signals associated with this.  The replacement of Cardinal Reinhard Marx as representative of Europe can be understood as a sign of disapproval for the German "synodal way".

The body was set up by Francis a month after his election and initially had eight, then nine members.  Eventually it dwindled to only six members remaining for a long time, which was then increased to seven again.  The designation C8, then C9 Council of Cardinals was eventually dropped due to the ever-changing size, which caused some confusion as there are other bodies with similar names in the Vatican.

The basic idea, as communicated in the 2013 election year, was to shift the weight from the Roman Curia to the continents.  Each continent was to be represented by a deputy, with reality for the American double continent making double representation obvious.  However, Francis shifted the balance by also appointing a representative for Central America.  The reason for this was less due to geography, but more to the papal desire to appoint his close friend, Archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Óscar Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga SDB, to the Council and to commission him with the coordination of the Cardinal Council.

Cardinal Maradiaga completed his 80th year at the end of December, which is why he had to give up his office due to the new constitution for the Roman Curia, which stipulates an age limit of 80 years.  Maradiaga, who presented himself as “vice-pope” early in the current pontificate and positioned himself as a possible successor to Francis, has experienced a sudden fall since 2018.  This was not so visible to the outside world because Francis continued to hold his protective hand over his advisor.

The original C8 Council of Cardinals in 2013, before the addition of the Cardinal Secretary of State.

In September 2013, Francis made the original provisional facility permanent.  The Council of Cardinals has only been expanded once in its almost ten-year existence, in spring 2014, when the new Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin was appointed the ninth member, increasing the number of Curia representatives to two.

In the almost ten years of its existence, however, the body was only complete for three years, because in June 2017 the Cardinal Council began to crumble.  Francis used the orchestrated accusations against Cardinal George Pell, the representative of Oceania, to remove him from Rome.  At the end of 2018, the representatives of South America (because of the sexual abuse scandal that shook Chile) and Africa (due to age) dropped out.

For two years, the southern hemisphere was no longer represented at all in the Council of Cardinals.  It was only in October 2020 that Francis appointed the Archbishop of Kinshasa, whom he had already appointed to the diocese there in 2018, as the new representative of Africa.

South America only got a representation again yesterday.  In all, Francis has now reappointed six out of nine members.  Only Asian representative Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, and North American representative Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley OFMCap, Archbishop of Boston, are still there from the beginning.  Both were appointed with the establishment of the Council of Cardinals on April 13, 2013.  Cardinal Secretary of State Parolin, who was called in in April 2014, also ensures continuity.

With Maradiaga's departure, the number of members of the Council of Cardinals would have dropped back to six.  The unexpected death of Cardinal Pell at the beginning of January cleared the way for the reoccupation of Oceania.  Francis could have reinstated Pell after his ordeal and acquittal, but did not.  The non-occupation may have been seen as a small sign of "compensation".  Or not, because even after the reshuffle, Oceania is no longer represented in the Cardinal Council.  Its size is “small”, it is said informally.  In doing so, Francis had reshuffled the map in this part of the world.

When he was elected in 2013, there was only the “conservative” Cardinal Pell as Oceania’s only wearer of the purple.  With a penchant for the exotic, Francis has since appointed three other cardinals from New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Tonga.  Apparently, Santa Marta was not able to befriend anyone to the point of appointing him to the Council of Cardinals.  The reason is another.  With his appointments, Francis strives for weightings, above all in terms of content, and in Santa Marta this means that the representatives should be loyal to him.

Since the Italian Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello has meanwhile retired as President of the Government (Governatorate) of Vatican City State, Francis appointed his successor, the Spaniard Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, as the new representative of the Roman Curia.

The representation of Central America was eliminated, revealing once again that the position was only ad personam for Cardinal Maradiaga.

The representation of Oceania was also eliminated as the space was needed for another representative due to the alignment of the panel.

North America is no longer represented by US Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley, but by Archbishop of Quebec Cardinal Gérald Cyprien Lacroix.  To be precise, the territorial key is no longer emphasized.

Cardinal O'Malley remains a member of the Council of Cardinals, albeit more in his capacity as President of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Children, established to combat sexual abuse.  With the axis shift, Francis signals that he wants to take this fight more seriously.  Until now, he only reacted when it was no longer possible to avoid it.  The McCarrick case in the USA represents the failure of the proclaimed zero-tolerance policy.  Francis did not change course afterwards, but only increased the display of his announcements.  To this day he refuses to even name the main problem of clerical abuse.  A good 80 percent of all cases of abuse can be traced back to homosexual perpetrators.  Here Francis finds himself in an ideological and strategic dilemma – to the detriment of the Church – because at the same time he is pushing for an “openness” to homosexuality.  Cardinal O'Malley himself is considered a personality of integrity in his work.

For Latin America, now Central and South America together, Francis appointed Brazilian Cardinal Sergio da Rocha Archbishop of San Salvador de Bahia.

The most notable change concerns Europe.  The “old” continent, with which Francis has a kind of love-hate relationship, was surprisingly upgraded like North America.  He now counts two representatives.  It is particularly striking that the previous representative of Europe, the German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, was not confirmed in office.  The signal is of far-reaching importance.  His successor is Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich SJ, Archbishop of Luxembourg.

Informally, the change in appointment is justified by the fact that Marx was President of the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Community (COMECE) in 2013 and that this office is now held by Cardinal Hollerich.  Apart from the fact that the link to the office of COMECE chairman would be a narrowing of Europe, because only the bishops' conferences of the EU are organized in it, but Europe is known to be more than the EU, the change at the COMECE leadership from Marx to Hollerich has already taken place  exactly five years ago to the day.  So there were other reasons for Francis to bet on Cardinal Marx in 2013 and also after 2018.  That has now changed and is directly related to the development of the Church in the Federal Republic of Germany and the synodal path.  Marx's dismissal is a signal of disapproval to the German Bishops' Conference.

Now some are of the opinion that the differences between the Rhine-Franconian Marx and the Mosel-Franconian Hollerich are not particularly great, and neither are those between the German restless spirits and Santa Marta.  The point, however, is that Francis does not want his path dictated by either Cardinal Marx, the German Bishops' Conference, or a German "synodal path."  He had already made that clear earlier, but it was obviously not sufficiently understood in Germany.  Francis has now shifted the emphasis to Cardinal Hollerich, whom he himself elevated to the rank of cardinal and, above all, from whom, as a Jesuit, he can expect obedience.  And that's what Francis is all about.  He demands loyalty.  The German eccentricity has been annoying for a long time.

The second European appointment is new.  Francis also appointed Cardinal Juan José Omella, Archbishop of Barcelona, ​​to the Council of Cardinals.  How his presence is justified is unclear, but is consistent with North America's revaluation.  It is known that Omella, who was appointed Archbishop by Francis and promoted to Cardinal, is valued by the Pope.  His appointment seems to follow criteria similar to those of Maradiaga in 2013. Francis wants loyal collaborators and secure majorities.

After the southern hemisphere was not represented at all for several years, the axis formally shifted towards the "West" in the tenth year of Francis' pontificate, with Europe and North America each having two, i.e. a total of four, representatives in the nine-member Cardinal Council.  Reality has caught up with Francis, too, as one Vaticanist put it.

The first meeting of the newly appointed body, which can now be called the C9 Cardinal Council again to distinguish it from other bodies of the same or similar name, will take place next April 24th.

North America is represented on the newly appointed C9 Cardinal Council with two seats: Cardinal O'Malley (USA, left) and Cardinal Lacroix (Canada).

Communist Archbishop Building Political Power by Cynical Move

 Edit: everybody knows the USCCB is the evil party at prayer.  If only it were evident somehow that not only is the American church good for America, but that they could at least do what’s good for the Church, but these Americanist/Marxist Bishops have an agenda that’s deleterious to Church and State. What’s really opprobrious is that they are hypocritically concealing their cynical agenda by appearing to do good for people who don’t belong in the United States in the first place.

Of course, Archbishop Hebda, one of McCarrick’s boys, is a creature of progressivism.  The CCHD (Catholic Campaign for Human Development) continues to be a deadly parasite, despite being caught repeatedly. Hebda recently silenced Father Altier for contradicting the Covid hoax.

Now Hebda wants to grant illegals driver’s licenses so that they can vote. This supports a Marxist agenda to contaminate the polls with non-citizens, intended to  ensure the power of progressivist Bishops and advance an overall progressive agenda destroying the West and the Church.
