BAM!
Yes, BAM is right
Yesterday, the semi-traditionalist blog Rarate Cheli
Published five magisterial documents from Pope Pius XII
Which utterly destroy Francis' false mercy gospel
Which he laid out in Amoris Laetitia
In which he keeps pushing in his daily homilies
The New Morality is what it was called back in the early 1950s
And it is basically situation ethics
Some of the texts provided by Rarate Cheli were available in English before
Others are being published there in English for the first time
Pius XII said,
Is so spot on that one gets the impression that the Pope
The real Pope, Pius XII
Said these things as a direct response to Pope Francis
For example, regarding Francis' claim
That being chaste, whether celibate for those who are not married
Or faithful to their spouse for those who are
That being chaste is basically just an ideal
Which is only for heroes
For the supremely holy
Here's what Pius XII says
Quote
It will be objected, however, that such abstinence is impossible
That heroism such as this is not feasible
At the present time you can hear and read of this objection everywhere
Even from those who, because of their duty and authority
Should be of quite a different mind
We have the doctrine of the Council of Trent
Which, in the chapter on the necessary and possible observance
Of the commandments
Referring to a passage in the works of Augustine
Teaches, God does not command what is impossible
But when he commands, he commands
He warns you to do what you can
And to ask his aid for what is beyond your powers
And he gives his help to make that possible for you
Unquote
Regarding Francis' constant accusations of rigidity
And his denunciation of a morality that says
Yes, you may
And no, you may not
Up to here you may
But no further
Pius XII says this
Quote
The new morality affirms that the Church
Instead of fostering the law of human liberty and of love
And of demanding of you that dynamics
Which is worthy of the moral life
Instead bases itself almost exclusively
And with excessive rigidity
On the firmness and the intransigence
Of Christian moral laws
Frequently resorting to the idea that the church is not a church
To the terms you are obliged
It is not licit
Which has too much of an air of degrading pedantry
Taking therefore the words of Christ
And of the apostle as the strict rule
Should not one say that the church of today
Is rather inclined more to coddling than to severity?
It so happens that the accusation of oppressive rigidity
Made against the church by the new morality
In reality attacks in the first place
The adorable person of Christ
Himself

Bam
There is nothing left of the Bergolian drivel
After Pius XII is done with him
You will be able to find all this
On our Novos Ordo Wire blog
Very soon
Not yet because we haven't put it up yet
But we'll post the same documents
That Rarate Chaley released
And credit Rarate as the source of course
And then we'll also add a little bit of our commentary as well
So that should be
Coming up later this week on our blog
Now regarding what Rarate put up here
Here's what I want to know
Remember that Rarate Chaley is what we call
Semi-traditionalist, right?
I think they're basically indult
Alright?
So they accept Francis as a legitimate pope
Of the Catholic Church
While at the same time trying to adhere
To the traditional Roman Catholic faith
So here's my question
How can they say
That Pius XII's teaching trumps that of Francis?
I mean, if both are valid popes
Then, well, then this would be an impossible situation
But let's just say that it were possible
Well, if anything
Then they would actually have to go with
Francis' teaching and reject Pius XII's
Do you think that's absurd?
Well, why?
If Francis is the pope
Why should Pius XII's teaching be absurd?
Why is the XIIth win and not Francis?
Why is that not absurd?
You know, back in the late 1800s
Pope Leo XIII had something to say about that
Listen to this, quote
It is to give proof of a submission
Which is far from sincere
To set up some kind of opposition
Between one pontiff and another
Those who, faced with two differing directives
Reject the present one to hold to the past
Are not giving proof of obedience
To the present one
Is to the authority
Which has the right and duty to guide them
And in some ways
They resemble those who
On receiving a condemnation
Would wish to appeal to a future council
Or to a pope who is better informed
Unquote
And further, quote
That obligation, if it is generally incumbent on all
Is, you may indeed say
Especially pressing upon journalists
The task pertaining to them is this
To be subject completely in mind and will
Just as all the other faithful are
To their own bishops
And to the Roman pontiff
To follow and make known their teachings
To be fully and willingly subservient
To their influence
And to reverence their precepts
And assure that they are respected
Unquote
Both of these passages that I just quoted
Are from Pope Leo XIII
Apostolic Letter Epistolatua
Of June 17, 1885
And yes
You can find that on our website
NovusOrdoWatch.org
Simply go to
Catholicism in the menu bar
Up top and then select
Magisterial Documents
And you will find that apostolic letter
In that list there
So, Rarate Cieli
Why does Pius XII
Trump Francis
If both are true
And valid popes
Pope Leo XIII makes it clear
You must
adhere to the current Roman pontiff and disseminate his teachings and his precepts and
assure that they are respected. Now, of course, Pius XII does trump Francis, but that's because
Pius XII was in fact the vicar of Christ, and Francis is a modernist imposter and as much of
a pope as my dachshund. Now, before we go, I got one more for you. Yesterday, May 15th,
the website Rome Reports posted a video entitled, Bishops of Peru Have Long Meeting with Pope
Francis. In that video, you can see Francis admiring a portrait of Blessed Martin de Porres,
who is a canonized saint in the new church, and Francis jokingly says to his Peruvian visitors,
quote,
Others of ecology, and I am a devotee of the broom he used. Unquote.
