[ 0 → 4] TrapCast Express [ 4 → 15] TrapCast Express, it's Thursday, December 7th, 2017. [ 16 → 19] Who says that the Novus Ordo Church doesn't make converts? [ 20 → 23] Listen to this story from the Catholic Herald today. [ 23 → 53] Quote, [ 53 → 61] The Daily Mail reports that his identical twin brother, Michael, who served as an Anglican bishop, [ 61 → 64] sent an email to friends and relatives revealing the plan. [ 65 → 70] The events of the last years, and rightly or wrongly, the battering by the Church, [ 70 → 74] have totally wearied and reduced us, Michael said. [ 74 → 78] We will probably be joining the Roman Catholic Church soon. [ 79 → 83] We love the Church of England, but would like to end our days here. [ 83 → 89] We would like to end our days in a Church where we can live and worship in anonymity and without constant fear. [ 90 → 96] Michael Ball mistakenly sent the message to a BBC journalist who showed it to Peter Saunders, [ 97 → 100] a member of the Vatican Commission for Protecting Minors. [ 101 → 101] Unquote. [ 102 → 105] I mean, what do you say to that? [ 106 → 109] Speaks for itself, so let's just move on. [ 109 → 111] The Dictator Pope. [ 111 → 113] That is the title of an exposition. [ 113 → 119] The Dictator Pope is an explosive new book that was released in English translation this past Monday, December 4th, [ 119 → 121] and it's already a bestseller. [ 122 → 124] An Italian version had been released in November, [ 125 → 130] and according to at least one report, the Vatican is scrambling to figure out who the author is. [ 130 → 136] The name given on the book's cover is Marcantonio Colonna, but that is a pseudonym. [ 137 → 141] Colonna was a military commander who attained great fame in 1571 [ 141 → 143] when Pope St. Pius XII, [ 143 → 149] made him supreme commander of the papal army in the Battle of Lepanto against the Turks. [ 150 → 152] In any case, the book is causing a ruckus in Rome, [ 153 → 158] in part because it provides information from the highly charged Kolvenbach Report, [ 158 → 165] a dossier compiled in 1991 on Jorge Bergoglio by Father Peter Hans Kolvenbach, [ 165 → 168] who was then the superior general of the Jesuits. [ 168 → 170] Here's an excerpt from the book. [ 170 → 171] Quote, [ 171 → 173] The text of the report has never been, [ 173 → 174] been made public, [ 174 → 178] but the following account is given by a priest who had access to it [ 178 → 181] before it disappeared from the Jesuit archive. [ 182 → 185] Father Kolvenbach accused Bergoglio of a series of defects [ 185 → 190] ranging from habitual use of vulgar language to deviousness, [ 190 → 193] disobedience concealed under a mask of humility, [ 194 → 196] and lack of psychological balance. [ 196 → 199] With a view to his suitability as a future bishop, [ 199 → 203] the report pointed out that he had been a divisive figure [ 203 → 204] as provincial of his own order. [ 205 → 208] It is not surprising that, on being elected pope, [ 209 → 213] Francis made efforts to get his hands on the existing copies of the document, [ 213 → 218] and the original filed in the official Jesuit archives in Rome has disappeared. [ 218 → 219] Unquote. [ 220 → 224] By the way, the Dictator Pope is only available electronically [ 224 → 226] and not as a print book, [ 226 → 228] and you can only get it from Amazon, [ 228 → 232] or simply go to dictatorpope.com. [ 233 → 234] In other news, [ 235 → 240] Cardinal Leonardo Sandri recently yelled at Francis in a private audience [ 240 → 243] so loudly that the people outside the room could hear it. [ 243 → 247] We elected you to carry out reforms, not to destroy everything, [ 248 → 250] is what Sandri reportedly said. [ 251 → 254] Vatican journalist Marco Tosati reported the story on his blog, [ 255 → 260] although he merely described and did not identify the cardinal in question. [ 261 → 263] It was the German Vaticanist Giuseppe Nardonella, [ 263 → 266] who clarified on his blog that the description given by Tosati [ 266 → 269] only fits Leonardo Sandri, [ 269 → 273] who, like Bergoglio, is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. [ 274 → 276] Now, speaking of Buenos Aires, [ 277 → 279] I'm sure you've heard about it by now. [ 279 → 284] Francis has decreed that the endorsement he gave in September 2016 [ 284 → 290] to the explanation of Amoris Laetitia given by the bishops of the Buenos Aires region [ 290 → 291] be considered part of his [ 291 → 292] authentic, [ 293 → 294] magisterium. [ 294 → 300] He ordered this in a re-script to Cardinal Pietro Perolin in June of this year, [ 300 → 304] and now the Buenos Aires Guidelines, as well as Francis' endorsement, [ 305 → 307] have appeared in the Acta Apostolice Sedis, [ 308 → 310] the Acts of the Apostolic See, [ 310 → 312] which is the Vatican's monthly publication [ 312 → 316] of all official papal and curial texts and decisions. [ 317 → 321] The Buenos Aires Guidelines state that Amoris Laetitia, Chapter 8, [ 321 → 323] does permit the reception, [ 323 → 325] of the sacraments, in some cases, [ 325 → 327] for unrepentant public adulterers, [ 328 → 329] and Francis wrote in response, [ 330 → 330] quote, [ 330 → 334] The document is very good and completely explains [ 334 → 338] the meaning of Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia. [ 338 → 341] There are no other interpretations. [ 342 → 342] Unquote. [ 343 → 346] Both the Buenos Aires Guidelines and Francis' endorsement [ 346 → 349] are now part of the Acts of the Apostolic See [ 349 → 352] with the explicit decree that they are, [ 352 → 357] which means that they must be assented to [ 357 → 359] under pain of sin. [ 360 → 362] And this has left conservative novel sordos [ 362 → 364] and semi-traditionalists scrambling [ 364 → 367] to figure out what to do and what to think. [ 367 → 370] In particular, it refutes the pet thesis [ 370 → 372] of remnant columnist Christopher Ferreira, [ 372 → 375] who for many years has been telling us [ 375 → 377] that none of the errors of the Vatican II Church [ 377 → 380] have ever been officially imposed, [ 380 → 382] that it was all just a great facade, [ 382 → 385] that made it appear official and binding [ 385 → 386] and magisterial and all that, [ 387 → 388] but actually never was. [ 389 → 392] Here's what he wrote in his 2002 book, [ 392 → 394] The Great Facade, page 66. [ 395 → 397] It's also found in the book Second Edition, [ 398 → 400] issued in 2015, on page 60. [ 400 → 401] Quote, [ 401 → 404] Satan understands better than any other creature [ 404 → 408] that the magisterium can never officially teach error. [ 409 → 410] We have the divine assurance [ 410 → 412] that the Church can never officially teach error. [ 412 → 415] Unquote. [ 415 → 418] Well, Francis has definitely blown that idea out of the water, [ 419 → 421] if you assume that he is a true pope, [ 421 → 422] which, of course, he is not. [ 422 → 424] But, of course, that doesn't mean [ 424 → 426] that Ferreira gives up now. [ 426 → 427] No way. [ 428 → 430] No, he maintains now that [ 430 → 433] even though Francis has declared his false teaching [ 433 → 435] to be authentic magisterium, [ 435 → 437] somehow it really isn't. [ 438 → 440] It's basically just a lie. [ 440 → 442] It's an abuse of the magisterium. [ 442 → 444] As Ferreira calls it. [ 445 → 447] But, whatever you want to label it, [ 447 → 451] the point is that it somehow doesn't count. [ 451 → 452] Why doesn't it count? [ 452 → 454] Well, the real reason, of course, [ 454 → 456] is that if it did count, [ 456 → 457] then Sedevacantism would follow [ 457 → 459] and Ferreira doesn't want to go there. [ 460 → 463] He's not a man who begins with Catholic principle [ 463 → 465] and then looks at the evidence [ 465 → 467] and allows that to lead to a necessary conclusion. [ 468 → 468] Oh, no. [ 468 → 471] He begins with the desired conclusion, [ 472 → 472] which is, [ 472 → 475] despite everything, Francis is the real pope, [ 476 → 478] and then tries to come up with some reasons [ 478 → 480] to support that preconceived conclusion. [ 481 → 484] And if he has to contradict Catholic teaching in the process, [ 484 → 487] well, that's just too bad for the Catholic teaching. [ 488 → 490] The doctor of the church, St. Robert Bellarmine, [ 490 → 494] who also knew a thing or two about the papacy and the magisterium, [ 494 → 497] emphasized in his book On the Roman Pontiff [ 497 → 499] that the nature of the papal teaching authority [ 499 → 502] is such that if God did not prevent it, [ 502 → 504] from teaching error, [ 504 → 507] all the faithful would be led into such error [ 507 → 512] precisely because of their divinely mandated duty of submission. [ 512 → 512] Quote, [ 513 → 517] The pope is the teacher and shepherd of the whole church. [ 517 → 521] Thus, the whole church is so bound to hear and follow him [ 521 → 525] that if he would err, the whole church would err. [ 525 → 526] Unquote. [ 527 → 530] Anyway, we've got a huge article up on our blog [ 530 → 532] at novusortowatch.org [ 532 → 532] slash watch. [ 532 → 535] where we discuss all this at great length [ 535 → 539] and refute the latest sophisms and lawyerly tricks [ 539 → 540] from Ferreira and other commentators [ 540 → 542] who, in spite of all the evidence, [ 542 → 546] still try to maintain that Francis is the vicar of Christ. [ 547 → 548] Look for the post published on December 7th [ 549 → 552] entitled Novus Ordo in Shock [ 552 → 554] as Francis declares permissibility of communion [ 554 → 558] for public adulterers' authentic magisterium. [ 558 → 561] As we've pointed out many times before, [ 561 → 562] the papacy has, [ 562 → 566] and one of those consequences is [ 566 → 568] that a true pope cannot do [ 568 → 570] what Francis has done. [ 571 → 573] Check your oven, Mr. Ferreira. [ 573 → 575] Your goose is cooked. [ 576 → 579] Tradcast Express is a production of Novus Ordo Watch.
