Amici,
Bishop
Strickland has a new pastoral letter out; this one issued on the eve of
the infamous and utterly anti-Catholic "Synod on Synodality" that is
expected to change Church teaching on a host of carnal-related issues.
So Strickland tackles the "same-sex blessing" insanity in his letter.
Read it here at LifeSiteNews. "God does not and cannot bless sin."
Oh, really? Someone please inform the "Pope".
Making Himself a Target
Bishop
Strickland knows this new letter will enrage the "homosexualist" (what's that even
mean? Supporter? Advocate?) Bergoglio and the infamous Fr James Martin,
(a.k.a. Pope Francis' pinkie finger, Francis' rent boy, and other
monikers too disgusting to pass on). It will stir up a lavender hornets'
nest.
No other American bishop, and apparently few in the world but the African bishops,
stand tall for traditional Church teaching against Sodomy.
Bishop Strickland knows the hammer will fall soon, I am afraid; thus, he "goes for broke." For as
surely as the insane Argentine (and I mean nutso: he clearly believes à la "Tucho Fernández
that he has oracle-prophetical semi-divine powers and can redefine
"Catholic" to suit his will, and that we must all obey his every whim: see this article for details.)
is especially in favor of homosexuals and sexual predators in general
(like that rapist and incompetent, cartoonish "artist" Jesuit Marko Rupnik).
Bishop Strickland wrote: "The truth is, at the core of our existence is
Love, and there is no power in Heaven or on Earth that can keep the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from loving us fully and completely."
Right, but what does 'love' here mean? "The core of our existence is
Love" – as in I guess, from the capital L, God. I don't know why
Christian preachers of the Faith can't clearly say, as Fr Ripperger
does, that "love" means "will the good." To say "God loves you" sounds
maudlin, or squishy, or feel good: but to say "God wills your good" – which is what the phrase means – bears a clear, no nonsense
understanding of what is meant. To say "God is love" is to say God is
ontologically The Good. Goodness in itself, Good as such. Omnibenevolence (supremely good) is the formal term. It's one of the divine attributes, like Omniscience and Omnipotence.
God thus wills
our good because He is Good Itself, and any so-called "good" we humans pursue – like
carnal satisfaction, money, fame, etc. – leads us away from The Good, and
therefore into Hell. Thus, Heaven or Hell, no in-between. What's wrong
with putting it this way?
Because
of course the squishy Vatican II Church would get the vapors. It would
pass out and need revived with smelling salts. The Vatican II three-year
cycle of Mass readings took out most references to Hell, eternal
damnation, all that. No doubt secular Jewish psychologists (very big in
the '50s and '60s) told them that such language and imagery would turn
off "modern man". Any Vatican II priest who preached "hellfire and
damnation" sermons would be assigned to the local lunatic asylum or
defrocked. But now a new Pharaoh has arisen, one who did not know John
Paul II, etc., and this new Pharaoh is iron-handedly slapping down and
defacing the squishy Vatican II Church with a sado-masochistic relish, making its conservatives squeal
as he imparts homosexual blessings and the Seven Sacraments on
egregious, unrepentant mortal sinners. Bergoglio says priests in the
confessional must always forgive even when the "penitents" are not sorry for their sins, as most homosexual and adulterous people are not.
- Because these "conservatives" (and even many Trads) insist Bergoglio is pope, they just must bend over in awe as he violates everything they thought they believed about Catholicism. I am sure he relishes their pain he is inflicting.
So,
we go down our merry way, traipsing along to a general ecclesiastical
and secular Armageddon. Be prepared for what's coming, and pray for
Bishop Strickland.
