"Pedro Arrupe Was a Prophet"



Pope Francis meets with the Jesuits of Thailand on November 22, 2019 in Sampran.

(Rome) In its current issue ( issue 4067 ), the Roman Jesuit magazine La Civiltà Cattolica published a copy of the encounter between Pope Francis and the Jesuits of Thailand, penned by his confidant P. Antonio Spadaro SJ. Comparable to the flying press conferences, these internal meetings give better insight into the thinking of Pope Francis than his official speeches. The summary publication after each meeting is made with papal approval. The head of the Church knows that his answers will be made publicly available.
A question from the Thai confreres referred to the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS). It has had an office in Berlin since 1996, in Switzerland since 2010 and in Austria "it was able to work intensively again in 2015". Francis reaffirmed his call for boundless migration and declared refugees a "theological place".
Pope Francis: Working with refugees has become a real “theological place” for the Jesuits. I consider it a theological place. That was the will of P. Pedro Arrupe [1], who emphasized the importance of this mission in his last speech here in Thailand. Father Arrupe was a prophet to me: his "swan song" was the foundation of the Jesuit refugee service right here in Bangkok. Then he suffered a stroke on the return flight from Thailand to Rome. [2]
The refugee phenomenon has always existed, but today it is better known for its social differences, hunger, political tensions and, above all, war. For these reasons, migration movements are increasing. What is the answer the world gives? The policy of segregation. Refugees are waste. The Mediterranean was turned into a cemetery. The impressive cruelty of some detention centers in Libya touches my heart.
Here in Asia we all know the Rohingya problem [3]I have to admit that some of the stories I hear across borders in Europe shock me. Populism is gaining strength. In other areas, there are walls that even separate children from their parents. Herod comes to mind. However, there are no walls to stop drugs.
As I told you before, the migration phenomenon is compounded by war, hunger and a "defense philosophy" that makes us believe that it is possible to defend ourselves only through fear and strengthening the borders. On the other hand, there is exploitation. We know exactly how the church works - how many sisters are involved in this area! - works hard to save girls from prostitution and various forms of slavery. The Christian tradition has a rich evangelical experience in dealing with the refugee problem. 
We also remember the importance of welcoming the stranger that the Old Testament teaches us. But also many small folk welcome customs, such as providing an empty chair on a festive day in the event for when an unexpected guest arrives. If the Church is a field hospital, one serving the most injured, then we have to go to these hospitals the most.

I return to the “theological place”:  the will of Father Arrupe gave work with the refugees a great boost, and above all he asked for one thing: prayer, more prayer. The speech he made to the Jesuits who worked with the refugees here in Bangkok was not to neglect prayer. We have to remember it well: prayer. In other words, do not forget the other, the spiritual, in this physical periphery. Only in prayer will we find the strength and inspiration to go well and fruitfully into the “disorder” of social injustice.
Hardly any superior general is more controversial than Pedro Arrupe, whom a part of the Jesuit order venerates like a saint. On February 5, 2019, his beatification process was opened, which Pope Francis sympathizes with.
Another question that Pope Francis was asked by the Jesuits present was about pastoral action towards the remarried and divorced. Francis does not seem to like the question. In contrast to the refugee question, for which he took a lot of time and answered in detail, he stayed briefly on this point and redirected to the next question. The willingness to respond and the length of it indicates a priority setting.

What is remarkable about his short answer is a confusing juxtaposition, which the Pope formulated as a contradiction: on the one hand there is a "Church" answer, which is "not Christian", and his answer, which he identifies as "teaching".
Pope Francis: I could answer you in two ways: in a casuistic way, but which is not Christian, although it can also be ecclesiastical; or according to the Magisterium of the Church, as it is written in the eighth chapter of Amoris laetitia, that is, to make a way of accompaniment and differentiation in order to find solutions. And that has nothing to do with the situation ethics, but with the great moral tradition of the Church.
But I see that the time is up. But let's take another quick question…

[1] P. Pedro Arrupe (1907 to 1991) was from 1965 to 1981 28th Superior General of the Jesuits. He promoted an alliance of Christianity and socialism and also the young Fr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
[2] Pope John Paul II used Arrupe to disempower and to initiate the election of a new superior general.

[3] The Rohingya are a Muslim group that lives mainly in Bangladesh, but also in the border area of Myanmar, the former Burma. It is controversial whether it is an autochthonous group, or whether it has only recently infiltrated from the more populated Bangladesh. Since they organized themselves as an independent group and appeared politically, there has been a conflict with the Burmese government.

Chechen Terror Cell Had Planned Attacks Across Europe Starting in Vienna Christmas Market

A Chechen group around an IS sympathizer who is already in Hirtenberg is said to have planned attacks in Vienna, Salzburg, Germany, France and Luxembourg between Christmas and New Year.

 Three native Chechens are said to have planned a whole series of attacks in Vienna and other cities between Christmas and New Year.  The driving force behind the terrorist attack allegedly planned in Vienna was probably a 24-year-old Chechen who was most recently housed in the Hirtenberg prison.

 He is said to have planned his outbreak from prison and then to a series of the terror attacks.  According to the investigation, which has not been confirmed by the authorities, an explosive attack was initially planned in downtown Vienna, specifically on the Christmas market on Stephansplatz.  Then attacks in Salzburg, Germany, France and Luxembourg should have followed.  Two suspected accomplices, Chechens aged 25 and 31, were detained last week (as reported).

The law enforcement authorities are said to have tracked down the three men, an anonymous whistle-blower, who is said to have warned above all of the inmate who was imprisoned in Hirtenberg, since he was still attached to the IS ideology after his conviction.  Extensive investigations, telephone surveillance and observations confirmed the suspicion that led to the arrest of the Chechens who had been released - because of "imminent danger", the court officials have said.

 The responsible regional court in Wiener Neustadt assumed that the men who had previously been considered harmless had been given the risk of escaping, collusion, perpetrating an offense or executing an offense.  Formally, the investigation is ongoing towards terrorist groups.  The case is being carried out as an interdiction, both law enforcement agencies and the Ministry of the Interior reacted cautiously to inquiries.  What is certain is that the three suspects were in constant contact with one another via their cell phones, even though prison law prohibits cell phones and communication with the outside world should be impossible.  According to the current investigation, the alleged accomplices should initially have helped the main suspect escape from prison.  A fake Romanian passport in the name of the 24-year-old was seized from the 25-year-old.

 Police try to calm fears

 It is unclear to what extent the two were involved in the 24-year-old's terror plans.  The attorneys for the alleged accomplices, Wolfgang Blaschitz and Florian Kreiner, assured that their clients had communicated with the prisoner, "but did not plan any crooked things," as Blaschitz emphasized.  He represents the 25-year-old, who is known in the Viennese martial arts scene as a very successful MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter.  Like the 31-year-old, he has never harmed anyone, and acquaintances from the MMA scene described the athlete as "perfectly integrated" in conversation with the "press".  For him, competitive sport was in the first place, he was a "normal believer".  Kreiner, the lawyer, asserts that the 31-year-old, a family man, has "nothing to do with the whole thing".  He was a Muslim, "but not radicalized.”

In any case, the central figure is said to be the 24-year-old, and he is anything but an unknown: he was twice convicted of organizing for terrorism (Section 278b of the Criminal Code).  In October 2015, he was found guilty in Vienna after joining IS in the company of his mother in a wheelchair and his pregnant wife in Syria.  The accused had been put under police control in Turkey and had been sent back to Austria.  The young man - his wife appeared fully veiled in court, only when he nodded did she take off her face veil - was given two years of unconditional detention in his first trial.  He was released prematurely after around 14 months, although it was announced that he had "missionized" prisoners in prison.

Shortly after his release, the Chechen wanted to go back to Syria, failed again and was again sentenced to two years in Korneuburg in October 2017.  The 24-year-old has now been transferred to a maximum security prison.

 The population had to, as a police spokesman told the "press" Monday evening, "not worry": The security concept for Vienna's Christmas markets, which has been in place for months, will not be changed.  The risk situation has not changed.  According to the police, authorities and organizers in Vienna are in constant contact, police officers in uniform and in civilian clothes are on duty - similarly in Salzburg: Christkindl markets or the city center where New Year's Eve is celebrated are also well secured with the previous measures.

 Prison minister: Stepping up the radicalization work

 Ramazan Demir, Honorary Chairman of Islamic Prison Counseling in Austria, worked as a pastor for eight years and wrote the book "Among Extremists: A Prison Counselor looks into the soul of radical Muslims". He points to the enormous importance of prevention and deradicalization in prisons. Because almost all assassins across Europe had been in prison and had been (further) radicalized there because they would equate Islam with violence without a stop or orientation and with a wrong understanding of religion.

 It is all the more important to "support and educate these people" in cooperation with the state authorities and the Islamic community in Austria. To do this, more resources are needed, after all, there are around 2,000 Muslim prisoners in Austria.

Edit: 2,000 too many. Shouldn’t they be located somewhere to the east of the Danube?

Mary's predestination and fiat


  One more point that can be addressed here with regard to the Redemption and Christ's sole role in it.
That role includes only the Blood of Jesus Christ and no other's.
 So, one can say, that while many essential factors played a part in the Redemptive work, which is still ongoing, only the Blood Letting of Jesus Christ is the factor that separates Him from the rest of the co-redeemers.

Thus, one can say:  The Blood of Christ effected the Fruits of Redemption.
Therefore:  Christ's Blood == Fruits of Redemption
BTW:  Blood  is very Incarnational and from what I understand, Christ shed EVERY DROP of His BLOOD.

Then, came the Waters of Baptism, without which no one can be saved, in any form or fashion. 
Desire alone being salvific is semi-Pelagian, and heretical as well as Protestant.
Water coupled with desire is ancient Roman Catholicism and thus, God ordained.

Mary's fiat and predestination....

From a Predestinarian's point of view, Mary was predestined in Genesis.  In fact, she is predestined in the (created) stars -- Virgo!
As such, we know from St. Augustine's definition of Predestination:  It is simply the preparation of and for Grace.
That is, for each of the Elect, their Will is prepared and the Graces for those Wills are also prepared.
I.E.  Not all Wills are created  equal,  and  Not everyone receives the same amount of Grace.
The converse of this is:  Some Wills are not created for salvation and some do not receive Grace.  HARD SAYINGS INDEED.

Now, to the FIAT  of Mary.
By Mary's WILL, she said Yes.

For the Pelagian, the Will is inherently supreme.
For  the Catholic, Grace supersedes the Will.

The title of Co-Redemptrix boils down to an act of Will -- the Fiat of Mary.

Noticably, the push for the title Co-Redemptrix comes mostly in the last 500 or so years......  mainly during the times that Pelagian forces in the Church had increased  their influence in the Church.

The latest Vatican Theological  Commission, which commissions of late have pushed for more nonsense, has applied its wiles to  have Mary declared Co-Redemptrix!
And why?  The Will of Mary is the cause or co-cause of our Redemption.  If this is so, and Mary said NO, there would be no Redemption.  But since God's Grace is SOVEREIGN, No One's Will (remember -- all Wills are created by God) can divert or overcome God's plan for man.

I am  guessing that the push for the supremacy of Mary's Will in the Redemption is being authored by those Pelagian forces bent on humanizing and de-supernaturalizing and de-Incarnationalizing the Roman Catholic Church, outside of which there is neither Salvation OR the remission of sins.
Further, because of her  cooperation by saying Yes to  become the Mother of God, does that make her Co-Redeemer?
What about all those that came before in the lineage of Our Lady from the time of Adam and Noah?  Should they not be also added to the list of Co-Redeemers?  As well as the Apostles and disciples  that brought forth the Fruits of the Redemption to the masses of people  by their spread of the Faith and Baptism?
Baptism, after all, redeems the particular soul and marks  them with the seal of Redemption.  So all those  baptizers out there, laymen and laywomen and priests, bishops, etc. etc. can also be Co-Redeemers.

Thus we see, in the very same sense that  these others can be  co-redeemers, Our Lady can be  considered as such. 

However, to aver that by not claiming her to be Co-Redemptorix is to deny her co-operation in the salvific  plan of God is way over the top.

Pope Francis says Mary is loving mother and humble disciple...

Mary is loving mother, humble disciple, Pope Francis says on Guadalupe feast

By  Carol Glatz, Catholic News Service

  • December 12, 2019

VATICAN CITY -- Celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pope Francis said she reminds Catholics of her true essence as a woman, a mother and a "mestiza" or person of mixed race.
She revealed herself to St. Juan Diego as a "mestiza" to show "that she is everyone's mother," and she speaks to everyone as she spoke to this indigenous saint five centuries ago, with tenderness and motherly love, the pope said in his homily during a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica Dec. 12.
Seminarians and priests from Rome's Pontifical Latin American College alternated singing their traditional guitar-accompanied songs with the Sistine Chapel choir singing parts of the Mass in Gregorian chant.
The pope and concelebrating cardinals and bishops processed into the basilica dressed in white. Among the concelebrants were U.S. bishops from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin who were in Rome as part of their Dec. 9-13 "ad limina" visits to report on the status of their dioceses.
Pope Francis stood before a replica of St. Juan Diego's tilma, which bears the image of Mary, who appeared to the saint in 1531.
In his homily, which the pope delivered off-the-cuff in Spanish, he reflected on the way Mary appears in the Gospels and in the apparitions to St. Juan Diego.
She is first and foremost a woman who has been given many titles -- many which contain the title "Our Lady," which underlines her womanhood, he said.
But, he said, "she doesn't try to be something else: she is a woman disciple," the pope said.
She is humble and faithful to her teacher, her son, "the only Redeemer," he said.
She never asked and "never wanted to take something of her son for herself. She never presented herself as a co-Redemptrix, but as a disciple" who served him and gave life, he said. (Hellloooo….can you read?)
Pope Francis' mention of Mary and the role of co-Redemptrix was a reference to the fact that, for decades, some Catholics, including specialists in Mariology, have requested that Mary be officially proclaimed co-Redemptrix for her cooperative role with Jesus, the redeemer. However, St. John Paul II and Popes Benedict XVI and Francis declined to do so. (Not just Pope Francis, folks.....it was John Paul II and Benedict also, so get your story straight. Do you understand calumny?)
Mary is the mother of Jesus, she is "our mother, the mother of our people" and the church, Pope Francis said in his homily.
Understanding the church through Mary is essential also for understanding the role of women in the church, he said, because their role is more than just "functional."
Like Mary, women make the church maternal and transform it into the "holy mother church," he said.
It is also important, Pope Francis said, that Mary appeared to St. Juan Diego as a woman of mixed race.
That way she shows she is the mother of all peoples; she became one with the people and, by bringing Jesus into the world, she also made God one of the people with Jesus as both true God and man.
At the end of the Mass, Cardinal Marc Ouellet, head of the Vatican Congregation for Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, gave special thanks and congratulations to Pope Francis for the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood Dec. 13.
After applause from the congregation, Cardinal Ouellet thanked the pope for the way he lives the priesthood, "in a spirit of humility and mercy, in a spirit of reform and holiness, giving priority and great charity to those most in need."
"Not everyone understands fully" the pope's gestures, words and decisions, he said, "but I can assure you that the people of God who walk in faith are inspired and consoled by your example and magisterium."

Pope Attacks Co-Redemptorix and Traditional Mariology Calling it Foolishness

ROME - Pope Francis appeared to flatly reject proposals in some theological circles to add “co-redemptrix” to the list of titles of the Virgin Mary, saying the mother of Jesus never took anything that belonged to her son, and calling the invention of new titles and dogmas “foolishness.”
“She never wanted for herself something that was of her son,” Francis said. “She never introduced herself as co-redemptrix. No. Disciple,” he said, meaning that Mary saw herself as a disciple of Jesus.
Mary, the pope insisted, “never stole for herself anything that was of her son,” instead “serving him. Because she is mother. She gives life.”

The Heel of Our Lady of Guadalupe upon the Global Serpent


By David Martin
The first and perhaps greatest prophecy given after the fall of our first parents is contained in Genesis 3:15, where God speaks to the serpent:

"She shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel."

This verse of scripture references the Virgin Mary's Immaculate Conception and the great power she would exert over the devil, especially in the latter times.

The Virgin's appearance at Guadalupe is certainly no exception to this. The word Guadalupe, derived from the Aztecan word "coatlaxopeuh" [pronounced quatlasupe], providentially means "to crush the serpent," which was precisely the work of the Blessed Virgin in her apparition to St. Juan Diego on December 9, 1531. She appeared on the hill called Tepeyac outside of Mexico City, which formerly was the site of the Aztec temple dedicated to the idol Tonotzin. Her mission was to dispel the magic and indigenous practice that had bewitched that part of the world and bring the One True Universal Faith to the people. Some 9,000,000 Mexican Indians were converted to the Catholic Faith through her intercession, assisted by the clergy of Mexico. She truly stood upon the hill and conquered the serpent!

The clergy of our time are likewise called to assist Our Lady in this mission to convert the masses and expel the dark forces that presently bewitch the faithful. Unfortunately, these dark forces today operate under the guise of reform and renewal, evidenced especially by today's ecumenical escapades and the so-called Charismatic Renewal. As with the ancient sorcerers, these false prophets boast of their work in the spirit but their spirit is the devil, and what they bring is a new religion not connected with the religion of the Apostles. (so-called renewal) 

The problem today is that this false spirit is now promoted through the channels of the Church, which gives it credibility in the eyes of the people. Hence Our Lady's intercession is needed all the more to squelch this revolt and revive the Church in a true renewal wherein the faithful can glory in their Catholicity and not in things pseudo or sorcerous. The rays of eternity streaming from Our Lady’s hands are needed to dispel the darkness of the global serpent, which today is tempting the faithful with a new-found ecological concept that we cleave to the planet (common home) instead of to God.
Let us call upon Our Lady and pray that the Americas be united, not under a godless and borderless one-world government, but under her protective mantle, that the people of this hemisphere might cut the pagan dancing and Marxist theology and learn to be truly Christian in the Apostolic sense, fearing God, and reverencing the Queen in the spirit of St. Juan Diego. What the Blessed Virgin wants is consecrated soldiers who can dismiss the pettiness of ethnicity and embrace that which is universal.
The Blessed Virgin indeed is about renewing the Church, so She calls upon the inhabitants of the Americas to assist her in vanquishing the head of the global serpent, that globalism might finally die and the true Apostolic Faith might again triumph as it did before Vatican II.

Cardinal Schönborn Hospitalized Till January for Lung Infarction

The Viennese archbishop will spend several weeks in a hospital after a lung infarct for hospital treatment 

Edit: Lung infarction is the death of part of the lung's tissue due to a loss of blood supply.  It looks more serious than the Archdiocese is letting on. 

Vienna (kath.net/KAP) The Viennese Archbishop, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn (archive photo), is on the way to recovery after a timely recognized and well-treated lung infarction and is now well again. This is what the Archdiocese of Vienna reported to Kathpress on Wednesday. To rebuild his strength, however, the treating physicians advised Cardinal Schönborn to remain at the hospital for treatment over several weeks. The Viennese archbishop has been in hospital since the beginning of last week.

Cardinal Schönborn "unfortunately can not participate in public masses or appointments during the Christmas period and into January," the Archdiocese stated. He thanked for the many wishes for recovery and "asks all for understanding whose plans were confused by his illness."

"The Vatican is currently a circus that condemns truth and justice to death."


Ariel Levi di Gualdo, Jewish convert, Catholic priest, publisher of the theological Internet magazine "L'Isola das Patmos".

(Rome) Ariel Levi di Gualdo is a sober, calm man, but it hardly remains quiet when he raises his voice. Yesterday, he did so with an interview and the usual clear words. The Jewish convert and Catholic priest said: "The Vatican is currently a circus that condemns truth and justice to death." And also: "The Church today treats those like Pol Pot who disagree within the Church."
In the struggle between Judaism and Christianity, Ariel Stefano Levi di Gualdo decided for Christ and became a Catholic priest: born in 1963, he is a dogmatist specializing in the history of Dogma, a pupil of P. Peter Gumpel. With the convert's fire he sees many things sharply and says so. Before he became a priest, he completed a degree in Sociology, which he completed with the controversial work "Bitter Grasses - The Century of Zionism". At the same time it is a kind of reckoning with Zionism and a departure of the Jew from his Judaism. In the foreword he wrote: "The tremendous tragedy of the Shoah has returned the Jews the lost purity by producing the social taboo of worshiping the Jews, which prevents the public from being told that the Emperor is naked."
In 2014, already a priest, he submitted a polemic against the homosexualization of the church. Already in June 2013, he expressed himself in connection with the resignation of Benedict XVI. about the "destructive mischief" of the gay lobby in the Church.

Violent Grandson of Minnesota Football Legend Resigns After Sex-Abuse Allegations in Central Minnesota

Edit: about 7 years ago in 2012, incredibly, a grandson of famous coach, John Galiardi, made a credible threat of physical violence on Facebook against someone who was merely pointing out the obvious problem with Saint John’s Abbey and Collegeville.  At the time, it was unclear exactly what was going on, but in the last few months things have become clearer.  This story didn’t get much traction nationally and none of the stories mentioned that Johnny Benson-Gagliardi had previously threatened a citizen journalist on Facebook who was exposing his grandfather’s complicity in the ongoing evils of the Modernist Monastery.

Meanwhile, the most recent posting on Pine Curtain and some of the previous stories highlighting this situation, have gotten a few hundred views. Mr. Gagliardi has resigned from his coaching post at Kimball High School.  There is no further information since this was made public at the end of November.

Knights of Malta Sponsor Degenerate Event with Drag Queen

VIENNA, Austria, December 3, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― More than 120 people answered a young Catholic hero’s summons to pray outside his nation’s most important cathedral while a sacrilegious pro-LGBT event happened inside.

 Alexander Tschugguel, 26, has released a video in which he described the rosary held outside Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral on the night of Saturday, November 30. “It was a wonderful evening,” he said. “So many fantastic people were here.”

 Tschugguel said that more than 120 people assembled and prayed three or more rosaries. They also sang Advent hymns. The Catholic activist, who became famous in October after removing pagan idols from a Catholic church in Rome and throwing them in the Tiber, was filmed by Gloria TV addressing the crowd in German.

 The group prayed for those who were attending the pro-LGBT “Believe Together” concert organized in St. Stephen’s Cathedral by the Austrian Knights of Malta and gay rights activist Gery Keszler. Ostensibly to raise funds for HIV/AIDS relief, the event featured Austria’s most famous drag queen Thomas Neuwirth.

E. Michael Jones on InfoWars

Edit: this is wonderful. Please watch E. Michael Jones on Alex Jones’ Banned.

What’s especially comical about this interview is how the journalist at Rolling Stone Magazine thinks that the pledge by a large number of young people not to masturbate in November is anti-Semitic.

It looks like the ADL has gone too far.

This story has been endorsed by an old queen of ye olde apologetics boondoggle.
