TrapCast Express
TrapCast Express, it's Tuesday, April 21st, 2020.
Finally, we have arrived at our last installment covering the Infernal Exhortation Carita Amazonia,
released by Antipope Francis on February 12th of this year.
So, if you're tired of this topic, as am I, then don't worry.
Beginning with the next podcast, we'll be back to our regular content.
Alright, so we're still in Chapter 4 on Bergoglio's ecclesial dream for the Amazon.
In paragraph 94, the Jesuit apostate introduces the reader to the idea of lay-led parishes.
Here's what he says, quote,
A church of Amazonian features.
requires the stable presence of mature and lay leaders endowed with authority
and familiar with the languages, cultures, spiritual experience, and communal way of life
in the different places, but also open to the multiplicity of gifts
that the Holy Spirit bestows on everyone.
For wherever there is a particular need, he has already poured out the charisms that can meet it.
This requires the church to be open.
open to the Spirit's boldness to trust in and concretely to permit
the growth of a specific ecclesial culture that is distinctively lay.
The challenges in the Amazon region demand of the church a special effort
to be present at every level, and this can only be possible
through the vigorous, broad, and active involvement of the laity, unquote.
So here Francis is hijacking the Holy Ghost to push for lay leaders,
in parishes and communities.
And of course, as we said in the last episode,
Tradcast Express number 108,
Francis is laying down principles that can be used later
to introduce precisely those things he's rejecting for the time being.
Namely, the idea of opening the Novosorto priesthood to married men or to women.
Because the same logic that leads him to introduce lay leaders
will also work for married or women.
The church has to be open to the boldness of the Spirit
and trust Him completely because He is the God of surprises
who always introduces new things we have to courageously accept.
And who's Francis to judge that we can't have married or female clergy
when the Holy Spirit has clearly poured out charisms
that are manifesting themselves in vocations, right?
So you see, it doesn't take much to find out that the Holy Spirit is the God of boldness,
when He is the God of show, when He is the God of courage,
when He is the God of love, when He is the God of peace,
in paragraph 94 the seeds for the next step in the ongoing Novus Ordo revolution. Once you've
opened things up to novelty that must be courageously accepted, which you simply ascribe
to the Holy Ghost, then anything is possible. Then in paragraph 95, Francis refers to the
consecrated life as, quote, capable of dialogue, synthesis, incarnation, and prophecy, unquote.
Now, this is one of those typical products of Vatican II theology that makes everybody go,
ooh, but really nobody knows what it means, or rather it could mean anything. And of course,
it stands in the starkest possible contrast to the actual reality that is,
the Vatican II Church. I mean, just have a look at the news digests that we publish at
novusortowatch.org to see how that incarnational prophecy stuff is working out for them. You know,
the way they talk, you'd think their religion is filled to the brim with sanctity, and charisms,
and miracles, and devotion, and full of zeal and fervor. But when you observe what it all
actually looks like—
like, well, just go to your local Novus Ordo church. See what they teach in catechism,
how they celebrate and assist at their so-called masses, how they're dressed, what's printed in
their bulletins, what kind of movies they watch, what ideas they have about matters of eternal
salvation, what their views are on holy purity, how good of an understanding they have of Catholic
dogma in general, and so forth. And of course, we all know it's absolutely atrocious. Most of them
probably couldn't even list all of the Ten Commandments. And I'm not even trying to assign
blame here. That's a whole another story that's not relevant to the point I'm making here, which
is that what the Vatican II religion claims is a great renewal is in actual fact the great apostasy.
So I guess in that sense, it does have something to do with prophecy. Anyway, in paragraphs 99 to 103,
Francis elaborates on why he won't permit women to be ordained, though I don't believe that anything
he says there is such that it couldn't be later reversed by appealing to a new revelation from
the God of surprises. You know, when a bold approach to newness is needed and all that.
Well, I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, if he can reverse 6,000 years or whatever of Catholic and Old Testament teaching on the
permissibility of capital punishment simply by appealing to some newfound understanding of human
dignity, you'd better believe he can overturn a few paragraphs from a lousy exhortation he wrote
when the spirit calls. And then, of course, there will be plenty of people like Jimmy Akin,
Tim Staples, and the writers at the Where Peter Is blog who will then explain to us,
how there's really no contradiction with prior teaching, just the development, you know,
a hermeneutic of continuity and all that. But, okay, back to the text of the exhortation. In
paragraph 104, the Frankster notes, quote,
"...conflict is overcome at a higher level, where each group can join the other in a new reality
while remaining faithful to itself. Everything is resolved on a higher plane and preserves what is
valid and useful on both sides." Now, that right there is 100% Hegelian, meaning it's an
application of the philosophy of the 19th century German idealist, George Hegel. He is a favorite
among novel sortos, especially also for Joseph Ratzinger. The problem is that his philosophy
is not at all compatible with Catholicism. See, for Hegel, all of reality is a process,
including God. And that's why you find so much process theology in the New Church,
and why in what I just quoted Francis as saying, why there he talks about resolving conflict at a
higher level, at which there is a new reality synthesizing two opposing sides, each of which
remains faithful to itself. That's pretty much how Ratzinger, as Benedict XVI, approached
literature.
That's how in his Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, he tried to overcome the problem of having the
novel sorto mass as the current Roman rite, and yet also the traditional Latin mass as the former
Roman rite, and yet allowing both of them basically as equals. How did he do it? How did he
resolve that contradiction? He used Hegel. He made up a synthesis of the two by claiming that they
were both two-sided. He made up a synthesis of the two by claiming that they were both two-sided.
He made up a synthesis of the two by claiming that they were both two-sided. He made up a synthesis of
two forms of the one Roman rite, one ordinary, the other extraordinary. Two different ways of
expressing the same thing, he claimed. Baloney. But it worked. It fooled those who wanted the
traditional mass. And think about how many of those people would be Sedevacanus today
if the new church only had the novel's ordo rite. So it worked. It kept good people,
people in the false church. Anyway, I went off on a tangent here, but let's get back to Corita
Amazonia. In paragraph 105, Francis again toots the horn of the surprises that God offers us when
we try to overcome conflicts by transcending them. He writes, quote,
From that new gift, accepted with boldness and generosity, from that unexpected gift which
awakens a new and great new gift, from that unexpected gift which awakens a new and great
creativity, there will pour forth as from an overflowing fountain the answers that
contraposition did not allow us to see. Unquote. Okay, what now? Yeah, whatever. It's completely
gratuitous. Francis is just making a claim that floats his boat. That's all this is. I mean,
he certainly didn't prove anything. He just asserted that that's how it is. And because
he made it sound so nice and flowery, people will just accept it. Then we come to the subsection
ecumenical and interreligious coexistence. In paragraph 106, Francis writes this, quote,
In an Amazonian region characterized by many religions, we believers need to find occasions
to speak to one another and to act together for the common good and the
promotion of the poor. This has nothing to do with watering down or concealing our deepest
convictions when we encounter others who think differently than ourselves. If we believe that
the Holy Spirit can work amid differences, then we will try to let ourselves be enriched by that
insight while embracing it from the core of our own convictions and our own identity. For the
deeper, stronger, and richer that identity is, the more we will be able to understand it.
We will be capable of enriching others with our own proper contribution. Unquote. You know,
it's always the same claptrap. Blah, blah, encounter. Blah, blah, differences. Blah,
blah, enrichment. What Francis says there is totally incompatible with the Roman Catholic
religion. For one thing, he claims that followers of false religions are believers. That is false.
You can only believe, properly speaking, in the truth revealed by God. But that is something that
non-Catholics, by definition, do not do, objectively speaking. So, you cannot call
them believers without totally undermining the exclusivity of the Catholic religion.
Likewise, Francis talks about our convictions. That's subjective. I can be convinced of something
that is completely false.
The idea is not to communicate our convictions to others, but the true faith. Now, that had better
be our conviction, but the essential point is that we must communicate, however properly and
prudently, not what we happen to be convinced of, per se, but that which God has revealed.
Likewise, the point of evangelization isn't to enrich others with our oh-so-deep identity.
It's to preach the gospel.
So, you can see how Francis is making it all totally subjective. He's not speaking about the
objective truth of God's revelation at all. He's talking about communicating our innermost
convictions, which Catholics have as much as pagans do. They're just different ones,
but they're innermost convictions either way. And so, Pachamama is put on the same level
with the Most Holy Trinity. What an abomination.
And it doesn't get any better in the next paragraph, which is 107.
Unquote.
Actually, no, we don't. We don't give a hoot what the diabolical texts of other religions say,
because whatever is in them that is true is either a truth known from natural reason,
which is available to anyone, or is a truth from divine revelation, which they've stolen from the
Catholic Church or from the Church of the Old Covenant. And anything that doesn't fall into
one of these two categories,
is false. So, there is nothing for a Catholic to find in the texts of other religions.
Now, regarding the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bergoglio says in the same paragraph,
quote,
we feel it our duty to share with the Amazon region the treasure of that warm maternal love
which we ourselves have received. Unquote. Now, that's not too bad, but even here,
notice the emphasis on the subjective.
Francis speaks of us feeling it our duty, as though it were just some kind of emotion that
compels us to speak of the Blessed Mother. And while that may very well be a part of it,
that is not the essential reason for evangelization. It has nothing to do per se
with an internal feeling that urges us. The obligation, the duty to evangelize,
to speak about the Blessed Mother and everything else pertaining to the gospel,
comes to us from an external command, an objective mission given to Catholics by Jesus Christ our
Lord. If you have internal feelings in that regard too, that's great, but that's not what confers that
duty upon you. Again, think about it. If it were a matter of an internal feeling, then what would
we say to a pagan who also has an inner emotion that compels him to speak to us about the Blessed
Mother? So you see that under that scenario, once again, there would be no difference between the
true religion and false religions, between the religion instituted by God and those made by man
or by the devil. There would be no real objective difference between them. It's as though it were all
just a matter of us sharing our convictions versus other people sharing theirs. That is modernism,
and it does away with the very fundamentalism of modernism.
of Catholicism. In paragraph 109, Francis waxes really ecumenical and repeats, as he has done so
often in the last seven years, that heretics, baptized non-Catholics, have a mission from God.
He says, quote,
We are united by the fire of the Spirit who sends us forth on mission, unquote. Now,
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Protestants,
do not have a mission from God, except to convert to Catholicism, as does everyone else who isn't a
Catholic. That's because Catholicism alone is the true religion. Francis, of course, has long
thrown that idea overboard. To see the enormous contradiction between the Novus Ordo positions
since Vatican II, that Protestants also have a mission from God to proclaim the gospel,
contrast what Francis says here in Carita Amazonia,
with, for example, what Pope Leo XIII wrote to Cardinal Pietro Respighi, the Vicar General of Rome,
on August 19, 1900, against the proselytism of Protestants in the city of Rome. This is Pope
Leo XIII, quote, Already, from the first moments of our pontificate, we had to indicate as one of
the most deplorable harm that is the change in the order of things in this capital of the
Catholic world, the ardent proselytism of heresy, and consequently the peril which the faith of our
people was exposed to. And on this subject, we, having put forward to our Cardinal Vicar,
we have on numerous occasions imparted exhortations, counsels, and warnings to the faithful
to warn them against the multiple attempts that sects of all kinds coming from foreign lands
would exercise here under the umbrella of public laws,
in order to spread in the souls of the faithful the poison of denial and error, unquote.
Well, you know, if Protestants are merely preaching the gospel by Christ's mandate,
then what is Pope Leo complaining about? Shouldn't we be glad that the spiritual progeny of Martin
Luther, another witness to the gospel, according to the Vatican, is enriching everyone with their
preaching? So, it's not hard to see how the Vatican II religion,
is diametrically opposed to the perennial religion the entire world alone knew as Roman
Catholicism, until the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. In paragraph 110, Francis continues along
the same line and asks, quote,
You know, I found that really bizarre that Francis now wants to work together with Protestants in
order to show the countenance of the Lord to the pagans in the Amazon, when before he was telling
us that the pagans are showing the countenance of the Lord to us, right? I mean, in paragraph 63,
remember, he said, quote,
If we devote our lives to their service, to working for the justice and dignity,
that they deserve, we cannot conceal the fact that we do so because we see Christ in them.
Unquote. You know, it's hard to really keep up with all this.
All right, we finally arrived at the end. Paragraph 111. There, Francis claims that
Blessed Virgin Mary is the one mother of all, which is false. Okay, the mother of God,
not the mother of all men. There is one woman who is indeed the mother of all people, but that is
Eve. She is the natural mother of all people because all people, without exception, trace
their lineage back to her and Adam. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother only of Christians,
of Catholics, of those regenerated in baptism. She is not our natural, but our supernatural mother.
But Francis, being a,
naturalist, of course, he glosses over that. To him, it's all the same anyway.
And so he closes his abominable exhortation, Carina Amazonia, with a poem, a hymn to the
Blessed Mother, and it's full of problems, of course. I'll spare you and not read you the
whole thing. Let me just say that he goes beyond calling Mary the mother of all men,
calling her the mother, get this, the mother of all creatures.
Now, that's even more unacceptable. The Blessed Virgin Mary is not the mother of all creatures.
All creatures would mean everything created, including cockroaches, amoeba, trees, rocks,
and so on. In this hymn, Francis also talks about fraternity and justice, of course,
and the wounds inflicted on nature, though there's no explicit mention of redemption
or the salvation of souls. Hey,
all right, that's it. We've arrived at the end of Carina Amazonia, a document filled with error,
blasphemy, heresy, and all kinds of other nonsense. But because Francis didn't permit
married or women priests in the exhortation, the Rorate Chaley blog glibly noted on Twitter on
February 20th, that the priesthood of Mary the mother of all women is not the only thing that's
quote, the Holy Ghost once again acts to protect Holy Mother Church, unquote. Yeah, that's it.
Carina Amazonia is a document protected by the Holy Ghost. Folks, there are none so blind
