TrapCast Express
TrapCast Express, it's Wednesday, July 18th, 2018.
The Code of Canon Law needs to go green.
That is the suggestion made by Cardinal Francesco Cocopalmerio,
the Vatican's former president of the so-called Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts.
Speaking to journalist Andrea Tornielli of Vatican Insider,
Cocopalmerio said, quote,
My proposal would be to ask the Pope, on the part of the Department for Legislative Texts,
to insert a new canon that sounds more or less like this.
Every faithful Christian, mindful that creation is the common house,
has the grave duty not only not to damage,
but also to improve both through everyday behavior,
and through specific initiatives,
the natural environment in which each person is called to live.
Unquote.
Yeah.
In fact, we recommend imposing an automatic excommunication on anyone
using plastic bags or setting air conditioners to below 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
What you see here is the absurdity of the novel's order religion.
Although, according to these people,
Catholics do not have a grave duty to refrain from adultery, for example,
because, you know, difficult circumstances and all that,
nevertheless, there is a grave duty to engage in some undefined initiatives
to protect the environment.
Well, maybe Coco can make a start
by cutting down on some of the hot air he produces.
Now, as far as polluting souls with the garbage of modernist theology,
well, let's just say that the apostates in the Vatican,
have been very busy recycling that.
Again, and again, and again.
In the Dominican Republic, a novel's ordo priest has sent Twitter messages
encouraging people to participate in a national march in favor of legalizing abortion.
Yes, you heard that right.
The Jesuit father, Mario Serrano, posted a video clip and verbal messages on Twitter
supporting the murder of unborn children.
in certain cases.
Translated into English, his message of July 15th stated,
quote,
Walking today for the decriminalization of abortion
means being very close to the Jesus who loves,
accompanies, and does not condemn people in extreme situations.
I accompany you with my prayers from Dahabon.
Unquote.
Blasphemy.
According to a report on the Vatican,
a scandal by the national newspaper Diario Libre,
the auxiliary bishop of the diocese in which Serrano is working,
Jesus Castro Marte,
stated that what the Jesuits said in favor of abortion rights
is merely his personal position
and does not reflect the stance of the Society of Jesus.
Well, that's good to know, isn't it?
It's just his personal opinion
that women should have the right to kill their pre-born children.
Well, good thing he didn't, you know,
attend a Trump rally or something.
Well, you've probably heard about it by now,
but in case you haven't,
the Society of St. Pius X now has some new leadership.
On July 11th, the Lefebvris elected as their new superior general
the Italian Father Davide Pagliarani
and the Spaniard Bishop Alfonso di Gallaretta
and the Frenchman Father Christian Bouchacor
as his first and last son.
and second assistants, respectively.
Pagliarani has thus taken over for Bishop Bernard Fillet,
who had been superior general for two consecutive 12-year terms
beginning in 1994.
Now, everyone is asking, of course,
what does this mean for the SSPX?
Which direction are they now going to go?
Is Pagliarani more conservative than Fillet?
Does he oppose an accord with the modernist Vatican?
And so on.
Well, quite simply,
folks, it is just too early to tell at this point,
so I'll refrain from making any predictions
or giving you any type of analysis.
There are pundits out there claiming
that the election of Pagliarani, di Gallaretta, and Bouchacor
means that it's a move to the right,
meaning a clear move against the Fillet leadership.
But then there are others disputing that,
and so there is no point right now
in trying to predict anything.
So let's just give it a few months,
and see what happens.
Now, one thing we do know, however,
is that all three of the newly elected SSPX leaders
have a connection with Argentina,
the home country of the current pretend pope in Rome.
In other news,
the Archlaemon of Quebec, Canada,
Gerald Lacroix,
stated in a homily given on July 15th
at St. Boniface Cathedral in Manitoba
that it is now time to evangelize.
Yeah.
And he managed to make that declaration
without bringing up in any way
the idea of converting people to the true faith
for their eternal salvation and the avoidance of hell.
At least that's the conclusion you have to draw
from reading the report published by Zenit.org,
which summarizes the sermon.
Rather, Mr. Lacroix stated that for Catholics to go on mission
means, quote,
to open their spirit and their heart
to the needs of those with whom we live and work,
our brothers and sisters in humanity,
expecting signs of reconciliation,
of goodness, of justice, and of love.
Jesus entrusted this great mission to all our church,
not only the pope, the bishops, and the priests.
We are all responsible for implementing the missionary mandate, unquote.
So that's what missionary activity means in the Vatican II Church.
That is what they believe is the good news of the gospel,
as Lacroix called it.
So, don't be misled, folks,
next time you hear some noble sort of cleric talk about
mission and evangelization.
For them, it's all about planting trees
and providing clean water,
being nice to your neighbor,
hugging children,
and, hey, if you're lucky,
maybe even practicing and preaching some of the Beatitudes
and the Golden Rule.
But that's essentially it.
Don't fall for it.
And lastly,
the Archlaemon of Dublin, Ireland,
Mr. Dermot Martin,
has discovered that after 55 years of updating Catholicism
so as to make it relevant to the modern world
and speak to contemporary man,
they are failing to reach the youth
who instead feel alienated by the church.
His solution?
Maybe you can guess it already.
He proposes a radical overhaul
in how the church reaches out to the young,
relearning to speak the language of faith,
authentically.
In other words,
Martin wants to essentially update Catholicism
to make it relevant to the young.
If only it were funny.
