[ 0 → 4] TRATCAST EXPRESS [ 30 → 36] of the victims of the sexual abuse perpetrated by Father Fernando Caradima in Chile. [ 36 → 41] Some weeks ago, Cruz had been invited to the Vatican to speak with Francis one-on-one, [ 42 → 47] and in this interview just published, Cruz said that Francis told him the following, [ 47 → 52] quote, Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. [ 52 → 56] God made you like that, and he loves you like that, and I do not care. [ 56 → 58] The Pope loves you as you are. [ 59 → 60] You have to be happy. [ 60 → 62] With who you are, unquote. [ 63 → 67] This is blasphemy and heresy all wrapped into one. [ 67 → 73] We've taken this quote apart and critiqued it on our blog at novosordowatch.org slash wire. [ 73 → 80] Just look for the post of May 20th entitled, Francis Tells Homosexual, God Made You Like That. [ 81 → 86] The only part of the quote that is true and correct and that we can entirely agree with [ 86 → 90] is his affirmation, I do not care. [ 90 → 92] That is definitely clear. [ 92 → 99] When it comes to faith and morals and the salvation of souls, Jorge Bergoglio simply doesn't give a flip. [ 99 → 106] And in fact, what he's done here to Cruz, sad to say, is he's continued the work of Father Caradima [ 106 → 114] in destroying the man's soul, seeking his unhappiness in this life and eternally in the next. [ 114 → 118] Francis is a spiritual criminal of the worst sort. [ 119 → 120] Ladies and gentlemen, [ 120 → 127] this remark about God made you like that is bigger than the who am I to judge comment in 2013. [ 128 → 131] And we know what kind of a mess that turned into. [ 132 → 136] And already, of course, the fallout from the latest wickedness from the Bergoglian lips [ 136 → 138] is beginning to pour in. [ 138 → 143] And of course, just as expected, LGBT community cheers Pope Francis. [ 144 → 149] God made you like this remark, writes Nicole Winfield from the Associated Press. [ 149 → 150] This is. [ 150 → 154] Going to be endlessly replayed by the secular news media [ 154 → 159] and is a huge boost to the spread of the various movements that advocate [ 159 → 162] for the acceptance of all sorts of sexual perversions. [ 163 → 167] Not only do Francis' words legitimize unnatural lust, [ 167 → 173] they also sanction in principle the entire LGBTQXYZ whatever movements [ 173 → 178] and their absurd and harmful gender ideology. [ 178 → 182] The Vatican has remained silent so far, [ 182 → 187] not confirming but also not denying the reported words of Francis. [ 188 → 193] But hey, not to worry, because diehard Novus Ordo apologist Steve Kellmeyer [ 193 → 197] has figured out that all this hullabaloo is totally unjustified [ 197 → 200] because what Francis said is totally orthodox [ 200 → 203] and the media are misrepresenting him. [ 204 → 204] Yeah. [ 205 → 208] He writes on his blog, aptly named The Fifth Column, [ 208 → 212] that Francis is only saying that God made us [ 212 → 215] and we suffer from the consequences of original sin, [ 215 → 218] but God loves us in spite of that. [ 219 → 221] Well, nice try, Mr. Kellmeyer. [ 221 → 224] Except that's really not what Francis said. [ 225 → 229] He said that God made Cruz attracted to other men [ 229 → 231] and that it doesn't matter, [ 232 → 234] that it's not something to be unhappy about [ 234 → 238] and that God loves his being attracted to other men. [ 238 → 240] That's what Francis said. [ 241 → 244] Francis did not say what Kellmeyer wishes he had said, [ 244 → 249] namely that even though Cruz is afflicted with temptations to unnatural lust, [ 250 → 251] God loves him anyway. [ 251 → 253] That's not what he said. [ 254 → 258] Kellmeyer is kind of a Mark Shea in training, I would say, [ 258 → 260] because he's almost as bad as Shea. [ 260 → 263] Shea, by the way, has not yet weighed in on this, [ 263 → 267] but that may just be the calm before the storm. [ 267 → 268] So, [ 268 → 269] as always, [ 270 → 272] no one causes chaos like Chaos Frank. [ 273 → 275] And make no mistake about it, [ 275 → 279] the chaos, the confusion, the bewilderment is deliberate. [ 280 → 282] Think about it by means of a very simple analogy. [ 283 → 285] Let's say you run a red light once. [ 286 → 286] Okay? [ 286 → 289] One can say you were careless, inattentive, [ 289 → 291] you made a terrible mistake. [ 291 → 291] Fine. [ 292 → 293] But if you're sincere, [ 293 → 298] then you take steps to ensure that this doesn't happen again. [ 298 → 298] It can't. [ 298 → 300] It cannot happen again. [ 301 → 303] But if you run a red light a second, [ 303 → 304] and a third, [ 304 → 305] even a fourth time, [ 305 → 308] then although you might still only be careless, [ 308 → 312] it has to be said that you're gravely negligent [ 312 → 314] and gravely culpable. [ 315 → 318] But when you continually run red lights [ 318 → 321] five, six, eighteen, and twenty-four times, [ 322 → 325] it's clear that your actions are deliberate. [ 325 → 328] They're not the result of carelessness, [ 328 → 328] of inattention, [ 328 → 329] of inattentiveness, [ 329 → 330] of negligence. [ 330 → 332] No, they're deliberate, [ 332 → 334] and that is what's happening here. [ 335 → 337] Francis isn't constantly making mistakes. [ 338 → 339] Francis does all this on purpose [ 339 → 342] because he wants the confusion and the chaos. [ 342 → 344] And we can see a clear example of that [ 344 → 347] in the next story we're going to look at now. [ 348 → 351] Today, the Catholic Herald had the following headline, [ 351 → 352] Pope Francis, [ 352 → 356] it is not a sin to criticize the Pope. [ 357 → 358] Francis said this to a group of people, [ 358 → 360] to Italian Novels Ordo Bishops, [ 360 → 362] in the context of their Episcopal Conference, [ 363 → 365] which he opened with a speech [ 365 → 366] in which he made this remark. [ 367 → 368] Now, headlines like this show [ 368 → 370] that Francis is very happy [ 370 → 372] with his dialectic, this tension [ 372 → 374] of people supporting him [ 374 → 377] on the one hand, and then others opposing him [ 377 → 379] on the other, only, of course, [ 379 → 380] to a certain degree. [ 381 → 383] But this way, those who are [ 383 → 385] unhappy with him will stay in the game [ 385 → 386] and not abandon him, [ 386 → 388] meaning they won't reject his [ 388 → 390] claim to being the Pope. [ 391 → 392] And you can bet your bottom dollar [ 392 → 394] that in the future, we will see [ 394 → 396] that very line, that it's not [ 396 → 398] a sin to criticize the Pope. [ 398 → 400] We will see that line quoted again [ 400 → 402] and again in speeches, articles, [ 402 → 404] and blog posts and videos [ 404 → 406] by people like Cardinal [ 406 → 408] Raymond Burke, Bishop [ 408 → 410] Athanasius Schneider, Roberto [ 410 → 412] de Mattei, Christopher Ferrara, [ 412 → 414] Michael Matt, and so on, [ 414 → 416] as they try to legitimize [ 416 → 417] their opposition to the apostate [ 417 → 419] without, however, questioning [ 419 → 422] his putative status as Pope. [ 423 → 424] And so, [ 424 → 426] although we know from experience [ 426 → 428] that for those who do criticize [ 428 → 430] Francis, there will be hell to pay, [ 430 → 432] this public verbal [ 432 → 434] affirmation that he's okay with being [ 434 → 436] criticized allows Francis [ 436 → 438] to keep people who are on the fence [ 438 → 440] about him to continue believing [ 440 → 442] in the charade that he [ 442 → 444] is the Pope of the Catholic Church. [ 445 → 446] Because as long [ 446 → 447] as they do that, [ 447 → 448] he doesn't care. [ 449 → 451] Because either way, they deny [ 451 → 453] the Catholic faith, either by [ 453 → 455] accepting his heresies, or by [ 455 → 457] refusing them, and thus denying [ 457 → 459] Catholic teaching of submission [ 459 → 461] to the Pope. So you see, [ 461 → 463] as long as you acknowledge him as Pope, [ 464 → 465] he wins either way. [ 466 → 467] Which [ 467 → 469] brings us to our last story for today. [ 470 → 471] Yesterday, Andrea [ 471 → 473] Tornielli wrote at Vatican Insider [ 473 → 475] about a new book [ 475 → 477] that will be released in Italy [ 477 → 479] on May 25th, [ 479 → 481] written by two high-profile journalists, [ 481 → 483] Nello Scavo and Roberto [ 483 → 485] Beretta. The book [ 485 → 487] aims at debunking fake news [ 487 → 488] about Francis. [ 488 → 491] The authors collected 80 [ 491 → 493] of the main accusations against [ 493 → 495] the Pope, counter-reporting them [ 495 → 497] point by point. Relations [ 497 → 499] with the dictatorships of Latin [ 499 → 500] America and Freemasonry, [ 501 → 503] the manipulated conclave, [ 503 → 504] the accusations of heresy, [ 504 → 506] the wrong appointments, [ 506 → 508] relations with the Curia, [ 508 → 510] the media, the scandals, [ 510 → 512] and even the gaffes." [ 512 → 514] That promises to be [ 514 → 515] a very interesting read, [ 516 → 518] and I've already ordered a copy. [ 519 → 520] My favorite part [ 520 → 522] about the book, though, is its title. [ 523 → 524] Fake Pope. [ 525 → 526] If they only knew [ 526 → 527] how right they are. [ 528 → 530] Tradcast Express is a production [ 530 → 531] of Novos Ordo Watch.
