Clouds of Tribulation Deepen: new Columbus, Ohio, bishop already a hopeless case...

Amici,

More cloudy nebulosity. I found this report about Bishop Fernandes on the net.

 

Right off the bat, Fernandes is hopeless:

Archbishop Christophe Pierre, the apostolic nuncio to the United States, read the special letter from Pope Francis, informing everyone that the new bishop is eminently qualified and thus chosen by him, the Holy Father, to lead the Diocese of Columbus.

Well, that's a black curse from Hell on a new bishop to have that devil Bergoglio praise you, especially while the Ogre-in-Chief simultaneously crashes and burns a French bishop and an entire diocese. See a mainstream Catholic news report on that here. This is how Bergoglio treats a bishop for carefully promoting the orthodox Catholic Faith.

A longer excerpt from the The Tablet article:

Throughout these ceremonies, Bishop Fernandes beamed his trademark smile, but he took a serious tone as he addressed the congregation, stressing the urgency to bring more men into the priesthood.

“I promise to work hard for you, to spill my blood for you,” he pledged. “But I bring to your attention that this year, in the Diocese of Columbus, there will be more bishops than priests ordained.

“We need a new Pentecost to set the world on fire,” he said. “We need missionaries and priests willing to make a gift to themselves in the service of the Gospel. I ask every man, woman, and child to pray for vocations to the priesthood, especially for our diocese.”

Family, friends, priests, religious men and women, and prelates from around the U.S. filled the church to celebrate the new bishop.

Three former bishops of the diocese attended: Bishop Brennan, and Bishops Emeritus James Griffin and Frederick Campbell.

Talk about "See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil" monkeys! Wait, I insult our simian brethren.

Anyway, look at what Fernandes says:

“I promise to work hard for you, to spill my blood for you,” he pledged.

That's why you wear purple, brother, to remind you you might well be martyred. If you stand up against Bergoglio, however, you will be.

Fernandes says on:

“But I bring to your attention that this year, in the Diocese of Columbus, there will be more bishops than priests ordained.

“We need a new Pentecost to set the world on fire,” he said. “We need missionaries and priests willing to make a gift to themselves in the service of the Gospel. I ask every man, woman, and child to pray for vocations to the priesthood, especially for our diocese.”

Saith Jaques, "A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool; a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool; Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool. 'Good morrow, fool,' quoth I. 'No, sir,' quoth he, 'Call me not fool till heaven hath sent me fortune...". (Act II, scene vii: As You Like It)

C'mon Bishop Fernandes! A "New Pentecost"? Forsooth! John Paul II kept that mantra going till he died holding on to it, gasping out his last bit of spiritus, "A New Pentecost! It's coming! Wait for it!" Yeah, then he croaked. (Unfortunately, before his death he plucked the utterly obscure Bergoglio out of oblivion and made him a bishop. The rest, as they say, is history.

Dear Bishop Fernandes,

Your master Bergoglio before our eyes daily tries his best to destroy the Holy Mass that God has used to raise not only endless priests but hosts of saints! For nearly two millennium! (And in his spare time, the Argentine lays waste to Catholic theology.) Yet Bergoglio stomps on vocations, shuts down ordinations! Scatters individual individual priests and even religious orders who try to embrace the Traditional Latin Mass! Without mercy! He scatters them like Tiglath-Pileser III and Shalmaneser V of Nineveh conquered Israel, like the mighty Sargon II and his son Sennacherib finished the job, scattering the surviving Israelites into the trackless East. Bergoglio does that, and metaphorically builds pyramids of skulls out of the Faithful, and yet this young, grinning Bishop Fernandes says,

“We need a new Pentecost to set the world on fire,” he said. “We need missionaries and priests willing to make a gift to themselves in the service of the Gospel. I ask every man, woman, and child to pray for vocations to the priesthood, especially for our diocese.”

Dar Crom! Be no fool as that fool in the Forest of Arden! Or a more topically American reference, isn't the Vatican II Church's endless quest for more priests while they chase off manly men and ban the TLM in essence a "snipe hunt"?

Of course it is.

It's a wild goose chase, and they know it. It's all pretend, just as they pretend they're Catholics when everything they do replaces Catholicism with a form of Anglicanism or Lutheranism. It parallels the current U.S. government that pretends to be representative of the people, when it is anything but. The American "Deep State" works feverishly to weaken and replace the actual American people with foreigners, either via immigration or the educational system. That's exactly what the Vatican II Church endeavors to do, as well.

Bottom Line

The Most Holy Spirit has shown His preference; the Holy Ghost grants bountiful vocations wherever the TLM flourishes, and as for the Novus Ordo, well, I guess Fernandes can ordain some butch nuns if he wants, but not too many others want the job – as the past 60 years overwhelming demonstrate.
