Have you heard of the so-called Bible of Friendship?
No? It's a good thing you haven't for two reasons.
A. Because it's not a Bible at all, but a collection of Novus Ordo and apostate Jewish commentaries on the Torah.
The five books of Moses.
And B. Because Pope Francis has written the foreword.
According to a January 16th report published by Crux,
A few decades of respectful Catholic-Jewish dialogue pale in comparison to 19 centuries of Christian anti-Judaism, Pope Francis said.
So Catholics must continue to ask forgiveness and forge new bonds of respect and friendship.
With the Jewish community.
We must work with greater intensity to ask pardon and repair the damage.
The Pope said in an introduction to a new Italian book of Christian and Jewish commentaries on passages from the first five books of the Bible.
Unquote.
So, with clever sleight of hand, Francis has condemned not simply anti-Semitism, but anti-Judaism.
Opposition to Judaism.
You see.
You now have to be for the false religion of the apostate Jews, else we're not Catholics, I guess.
Well, let me tell you something, Bucko.
We're anti all false religions here, and that includes not only Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Islam, Paganism, and all the rest, but also Judaism.
We're anti those things because we're pro-Jesus Christ.
And whoever is pro those things is anti-Christ.
See how Francis just denounced all of Catholic Church history in one single sentence, condemning 19 centuries of Catholicism as supposedly immoral and wrong.
No, Francis, it's you and your false Vatican II religion that has it all wrong, and we Catholics have it right.
And we're in good company.
St. John the Evangelist, who also knew a little bit about Catholicism, taught, quote,
is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ.
This is anti-Christ, who denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.
He that confesseth the Son hath the Father also, unquote.
And that's from 1 John 2, 22 and 23.
The Crux Report continues, quote,
Francis said the volume of commentaries, the Bible of Friendship, is an important,
tool for helping Catholics recognize the Jewish roots of their faith and for promoting
concrete Catholic-Jewish cooperation in helping others, unquote.
Hello, Mr. Bergoglio, the roots of the Catholic faith do not lie in the Talmudic Judaism of
our day.
That is not the religion of the Old Covenant.
It is an apostate religion that was effectively established when Annas and Caiaphas rejected
Jesus Christ.
In 33 A.D.
Some of today's so-called Jews may still have a physical link to Abraham, but that
biological tie profits them nothing.
And if you want to see why, read John chapter 8 and Galatians chapter 4.
One other thing Francis says in the foreword that he wrote for this interreligious collection
of commentaries is this, quote,
The common objective will be to witness together to the love of the
Father throughout the world, unquote.
Unbelievable.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.
Today's Jews do not testify to the love of God the Father, but they deny and suppress
that love.
And I mean that regardless of anyone's intentions.
This isn't about who has goodwill and who doesn't.
This is about what is the truth and who is preaching it.
The love of the Father is summed up in John 3.16, quote,
Francis is promoting apostasy.
In other news, the folks at the Rarate Chaley blog have passed on some interesting news
published in the French magazine Monde Evie.
The 76-year-old conservative Novus Ordo bishop Vitus Huander of Cours, Switzerland, has
announced that once Francis lets him retire, he'll withdraw to an institution administered
by the Lefebvreist Society of St. Pius X.
The French periodical notes that Huander, quote,
is not only a friend of the SSPX, but close to Pope Francis, unquote.
Does anyone see a problem here?
And yet, it seems like...
Some people are celebrating this as more evidence that the Lefebvrists are being gradually
regularized into the Vatican II sect.
Rarate writes that the French website Le Salon Beige, quote,
confirms that, of course, the Pope is well-informed of Bishop Huander's choice
and tacitly approves of it, unquote.
Well, congratulations.
The world's most notorious apostate,
who tries to suppress remnants of Catholicism wherever he can,
considers the SSPX Catholic.
Do these people ever think these things through?
The so-called Bishop Huander was ordained a priest in 1971 and consecrated a bishop in 2007,
both times in the 1968 Novus Ordo ordination rite of Paul VI.
That means that he is probably only a layman,
he may be a valid priest, but he's definitely not a valid bishop.
And we're currently explaining that once more on our blog at
where we're running a three-part response to the Reverend John Hunwick
on the issues with Novus Ordo ordinations.
Now, don't think that this is only some Sedevacanus thing.
It's not.
The SSPX's own Bishop Bernard Tissier de Malloray,
who is by no means a Sedevacanist,
still believes that ordinations in the Paul VI rite are doubtful.
He said it as recently as June 29th, 2016,
during a sermon on the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
So if Vitus Huander joins the SSPX as a sort of retired bishop,
unless he agrees to be considered a mere layman,
you know he's going to want to help out with the administration of the sacraments,
including confirmation,
and maybe ordination,
but certainly he'll want to offer Mass.
So what's Bishop Tissier going to do,
and others who agree with him?
See, until 2005,
and I know because I was an SSPX adherent myself for a while in the early 2000s,
until 2005,
the general SSPX position,
at least in the United States,
was that Novus Ordo ordinations are doubtful.
And what changed in 2005?
Well, if you remember, in 2005,
a certain Father Joseph Ratzinger was elected head of the Vatican II Church,
Pope in their minds,
so that created a bit of a difficulty
because Ratzinger's own bishop's ordination had taken place in 1977,
also in the Paul VI rite.
So unless they were going to say that the Pope isn't a valid bishop,
they were going to have to come up with some kind of,
argument to suddenly discover that the new rite of bishop's consecration is valid after all.
And guess what?
Voila!
They did, just in time.
Yeah, that god of surprises came through just when they needed him most.
Well, it looks like they will soon be able to put their money where their mouth is,
but just wait till the time comes for them to consecrate one or more,
new bishops for the society.
See, Francis isn't the brightest bulb on the menorah,
but he is clever.
Wouldn't surprise me if, when that day comes,
he will insist on doing the consecration himself,
with only other Novus Ordo bishops of his choosing as co-consecrators.
Blaise Cupich, anyone?
Smoochie Fernandez?
Joe Tobin?
And then we will see how valid the SSPX really is,
he thinks, the new rite of episcopal consecration is.
