[ 0 → 4] TrapCast Express [ 4 → 14] TrapCast Express, it's Wednesday, July 1st, 2020. [ 15 → 20] The Amazon region in South America now has its own Novos Ordo Bishops Conference. [ 21 → 26] A news report released yesterday by the so-called Catholic News Agency says, [ 26 → 30] quote, following a recommendation by the Amazon Synod, [ 30 → 34] a new bishops conference for the Amazon region was created Monday. [ 35 → 41] The Synod members said in the October 2019 document that having this organism of the bishops [ 41 → 49] helps to express the Amazonian face of this church and continues the task of finding new paths [ 49 → 54] for the evangelizing mission, especially incorporating the proposal of [ 54 → 56] integral ecclesiasticalism. [ 56 → 63] Thus strengthening the physiognomy of the church in the Amazon, unquote. [ 64 → 66] You know, I think that's just great. [ 66 → 72] Of course, the question then is whether each region of the world is also going to get its [ 72 → 76] own face, complete with its own bishops conference, right? [ 76 → 83] Why not do the same thing for Tibet in Asia or the Sahel region in Africa or the Carpathians [ 83 → 84] in Europe? [ 84 → 86] I hear those are also. [ 86 → 88] Privileged sources of divine revelation. [ 89 → 94] Hey, in the Vatican II church, the possibilities are endless. [ 94 → 100] I think the last seven years, more than at any other time, have shown that one should [ 100 → 105] not underestimate the absurdities the modernist Vatican is capable of coming up with. [ 105 → 112] Jorge Bergoglio, Pope Francis, has eclipsed all of his five predecessors on that. [ 113 → 115] On June 5th of this year, for example, [ 115 → 115] he was the first to be crowned the Pope. [ 115 → 116] He was the first to be crowned the Pope. [ 116 → 118] He tweeted out the following, quote, [ 118 → 128] The heart of Christ is so great, it wants to welcome us all into the revolution of tenderness, [ 128 → 129] unquote. [ 130 → 131] Oh my. [ 132 → 135] On May 30th, he tweeted, quote, [ 135 → 143] The faith provides us with a realistic and creative imagination, capable of abandoning [ 143 → 146] the logic of repetition, of substitution. [ 146 → 146] The faith provides us with a realistic and creative imagination, capable of abandoning [ 146 → 148] the logic of repetition, of substitution, or of preservation. [ 148 → 155] It invites us to initiate a season that is always new, the season of the Lord, unquote. [ 156 → 159] I mean, whatever, okay? [ 159 → 162] This guy is his own best parody. [ 163 → 170] Now, speaking of Francis, I want to finally comment on the open letter to Francis that [ 170 → 174] Michael Matt published at The Remnant on November 20th, 2019. [ 175 → 176] Although that letter was not published, it was published on November 20th, 2019. [ 176 → 183] The letter itself is dated October 26th, which was the last day of deliberations for the [ 183 → 184] Amazon Senate. [ 185 → 191] Matt also made a video version of it, where he reads that letter out loud, and I'd like [ 191 → 194] to play some clips from that and comment on them. [ 195 → 201] The video and the accompanying blog post are entitled, Church in Crisis, World's Catholics [ 201 → 203] Resist Pope to His Face. [ 204 → 205] Now, that day, I was in the United States, and I was in the United States, and I was [ 205 → 205] in the United States, and I was in the United States, and I was in the United States, and [ 205 → 206] that day, I was in the United States, and I was in the United States, and I was in the [ 206 → 206] United States. [ 206 → 211] Now, that title is already a bit curious, because unless he considers himself and his [ 211 → 218] fellow resistors to be the only real Catholics, which to my knowledge he doesn't, then it's [ 218 → 222] simply not true to say that the world's Catholics resist Francis to his face. [ 223 → 224] They do no such thing. [ 225 → 230] A comparatively tiny group of people within the Noblesse Order Church do so. [ 230 → 234] Virtually everyone else thinks that Francis is the greatest thing ever. [ 234 → 242] And if Matt does consider that, if he does consider recognizing resistors alone to be [ 242 → 247] real Catholics, which, again, I don't believe he does, then, yeah, then his title would [ 247 → 250] make sense, but it really wouldn't tell you a whole lot. [ 250 → 252] It wouldn't tell you anything new. [ 252 → 256] It would tell you that the world's resistors are resisting. [ 256 → 257] Well, no kidding. [ 258 → 262] And I don't know about them resisting Francis to his face, either. [ 263 → 264] And none of them. [ 264 → 268] None of them have ever come close to his face, except for Taylor Marshall, right, who got [ 268 → 272] a VIP slot at a general audience in May of last year. [ 272 → 278] And instead of sternly resisting Francis to his face, he smiled, shook his hand, and showed [ 278 → 279] him his new book. [ 280 → 287] Anyway, let's go ahead now and listen to some excerpts of Mr. Matt's open letter to the [ 287 → 287] Frankster. [ 287 → 293] After 150 years in the Catholic Press Apostolate, it is unthinkable that one of us should resist [ 293 → 295] Peter to his face. [ 296 → 301] And yet I come to you today with sadness in my Catholic heart, as the winds of the modernism [ 301 → 306] condemned by your sainted predecessor over 100 years ago are today blowing through the [ 306 → 312] colonnades, down the Via della Conciliazione, over the Tiber, and out into the whole world [ 312 → 313] under your watch. [ 313 → 319] All right, so here Matt rightly notes that what's coming from the Vatican these days [ 319 → 320] is modernism. [ 320 → 323] But he shouldn't be expressing his sadness. [ 323 → 327] To Bergoglio, he should be expressing his outrage. [ 340 → 352] If by Rome he means the Vatican, then Rome isn't surrendering. [ 353 → 353] Rome isn't surrendering. [ 353 → 356] Rome is fighting for the other side. [ 356 → 358] That's a pretty significant difference. [ 358 → 361] We're not talking about giving up the battle. [ 361 → 364] We're talking about treasonous defection to the enemy. [ 365 → 370] The church Christ founded, according to the infallible teachings of the church, the sole [ 370 → 375] means of salvation, is the one true church outside of which there is no salvation. [ 375 → 376] Amen. [ 376 → 382] But that contradicts what Matt just said a few moments ago when he noted that the winds [ 382 → 383] of modernism are not the only things that are going to change. [ 383 → 383] The winds of modernism are not the only things that are going to change. [ 383 → 385] The winds of modernism are blowing from the Vatican. [ 386 → 392] Modernism, as Pope St. Pius X said, is the synthesis of all heresies. [ 393 → 400] If the synthesis of all heresies is now emanating from the Holy See, which Matt believes Francis [ 400 → 407] to hold, then how can he maintain that the Catholic Church, which he identifies with [ 407 → 413] that Holy See, is the sole means of salvation, or is a means of salvation even? [ 413 → 418] Do you, Holy Father, still accept this dogma of the Catholic Church? [ 420 → 426] If it has done anything at all, your synod, your Amazon synod, has conveyed the impression [ 426 → 431] to the whole world that the Pope of Rome has reneged on the church's own teaching that [ 431 → 433] she is the sole means of salvation. [ 434 → 436] Is this the message you intended to send? [ 436 → 441] Yeah, no doubt Francis is shaking in his boots at this point. [ 441 → 444] With that kind of a resistance letter. [ 444 → 447] I'm sorry, but this is pathetic. [ 448 → 449] Absolutely pathetic. [ 450 → 456] Here the Frankster was just finishing the pagan Amazon synod where Pachamama was worshipped [ 456 → 463] in the Vatican gardens under his nose, in his presence, and earlier in the year he had [ 463 → 470] declared in Abu Dhabi that God wills there to be a diversity of religions, just as he [ 470 → 471] wills there to be a diversity of synods. [ 471 → 473] Sexes and races and so on. [ 474 → 480] And he had told interreligious youths in Mozambique that religious differences between them are [ 480 → 481] necessary. [ 481 → 487] And now Michael Madd asks him if he believes in no salvation outside the church? [ 488 → 490] Has he gone completely mad? [ 490 → 495] In the face of such incredible confusion, Holy Father, faithful Catholics are left with [ 495 → 501] a choice between your words and those of your predecessors, the teachings, the infallible [ 501 → 501] teachings. [ 501 → 506] Who are we to believe, you or them? [ 506 → 509] Well, I think we all know how Francis would answer that question. [ 510 → 515] But see, the problem here is that Michael Madd is acting as though Francis were this [ 515 → 522] poor little lamb who's just a bit confused and maybe doesn't quite understand how Catholicism [ 522 → 527] works and how his words and actions are received by people around the world. [ 528 → 531] And Michael Madd is taking that attitude after six years. [ 531 → 535] And a half years of Jorge Bergoglio in the Vatican. [ 535 → 537] You have got to be kidding. [ 538 → 545] Holy Father, I beg you to explain how listening to and learning from pagans is not in contradiction [ 545 → 549] to this noble Catholic tradition your own predecessors swore to defend. [ 549 → 551] Yeah, that's what we need. [ 551 → 554] An explanation from Francis. [ 554 → 557] We all know how receptive the remnant would be to that, right? [ 558 → 561] When you came to my country, you stood before Congress. [ 561 → 563] In the presence of the most powerful leaders of the world. [ 564 → 566] But you said not one word about Jesus Christ. [ 566 → 568] I don't believe you even mentioned his name. [ 569 → 570] Why not, Holy Father? [ 571 → 573] Well, maybe because he's not the Pope. [ 574 → 580] Maybe because he's a modernist apostate hell-bent on distorting and destroying the gospel. [ 581 → 587] I mean, after all we've seen since 2013, do we really need answers from Francis? [ 588 → 590] Isn't it all pretty darn obvious? [ 591 → 595] And if not, how much more obvious does it need to get? [ 596 → 597] What's still missing? [ 597 → 602] What has Francis not done yet that he still needs to do to make it plain? [ 603 → 610] In Lund, Sweden, you met with Lutherans pretending to be bishops in a cathedral stolen from Mother Church. [ 610 → 613] And you prayed with them in commemoration of the Protestant revolt, [ 614 → 617] which tore Christendom in half 500 years ago, [ 617 → 620] in which great saints such as St. Thomas More believed to be, [ 621 → 623] the actual Antichrist. [ 624 → 625] Why, Holy Father? [ 626 → 627] Why did you pray with them? [ 628 → 630] Why did you commemorate the Protestant revolt? [ 631 → 635] Uh, because he too is a Lutheran pretending to be a bishop. [ 636 → 636] You're welcome. [ 636 → 638] You have said that atheists can go to heaven, [ 639 → 644] thus conveying the impression to the sad and distracted and distressed world [ 644 → 648] that salvation is possible even outside of any belief in God whatsoever. [ 649 → 650] No. [ 650 → 651] Francis didn't. [ 651 → 655] He didn't just give the impression that salvation is possible without belief in God. [ 656 → 657] He stated it outright. [ 658 → 664] And yet Michael Matz seriously asks him if he still believes in no salvation outside the church. [ 665 → 666] Given all of this, Holy Father, [ 667 → 669] what would you do if you were in my shoes? [ 670 → 672] Whose teachings would you follow? [ 672 → 674] The scandalous novelties of a man named Francis [ 674 → 679] or the constant and infallible teachings of all of his predecessors, [ 679 → 681] back to St. Peter himself? [ 681 → 685] The scandalous novelties of a man named Francis is what he would follow. [ 685 → 687] That should be pretty clear by now. [ 688 → 691] The man despises Catholicism, and Matt knows it. [ 692 → 695] And by the way, they're not simply novelties. [ 695 → 698] They're heresies, blasphemies, apostasy. [ 698 → 701] And in many cases, they're not even new. [ 701 → 703] Pagan ceremonies in the Vatican gardens. [ 704 → 709] Do you think this is helping our Protestant friends come closer to unity with Christ's true church? [ 709 → 711] Well, the church he's describing, [ 711 → 713] doesn't sound like it's the one true church. [ 713 → 716] So why would any Protestant want to join that? [ 716 → 718] They too are scandalized by what you have done. [ 718 → 724] Uh, no, not the pro-abort, pro-homo woman bishops he hobnobbs with. [ 724 → 724] They're not. [ 724 → 729] And you have convinced many of them that the Pope is indeed the whore of Babylon, [ 729 → 732] as you have driven them further from the flock of Christ [ 732 → 734] and from the bark of St. Peter. [ 734 → 738] Mission accomplished, then, from Francis' perspective. [ 738 → 740] And yet you have made it clear that though you wish to believe in Christ, [ 740 → 742] that though you wish to listen to pagans, [ 742 → 746] you have no interest in listening to your own scandalized children. [ 746 → 750] To us, rigid, neo-Pelagians, [ 750 → 753] that used to be known as practicing Catholics. [ 753 → 756] Well then, why is he issuing this silly open letter [ 756 → 760] in which he acts like Francis is genuinely trying to be a Catholic [ 760 → 762] concerned for the salvation of souls? [ 762 → 766] In fact, we loyal and faithful Catholics [ 766 → 769] promise to put every effort, from now until the day we die, [ 769 → 770] into resisting you. [ 770 → 770] In fact, we loyal and faithful Catholics promise to put every effort, from now until the day we die, [ 770 → 770] into resisting you. [ 770 → 775] and your agenda of revolutionary change to the church we love. [ 775 → 779] We promise to teach our children, in fidelity to Catholic tradition, [ 779 → 783] to resist you to your face, and to teach their children to do the same. [ 783 → 787] Yeah, nothing says loyal submission to the Holy See [ 787 → 792] quite like teaching your children to resist the magisterium of the Roman Pontiff. [ 792 → 796] In 1885, Pope Leo XIII wrote that, quote, [ 796 → 800] whatever the Roman Pontiffs have hitherto taught, [ 800 → 804] shall hereafter teach, must be held with a firm grasp of mind, [ 805 → 810] and so often, as occasion requires, must be openly professed, unquote. [ 811 → 814] That's from the encyclical Immortale Dei, number 41. [ 814 → 820] So, if Michael Matt wants to talk about fidelity to Catholic tradition, we can. [ 820 → 823] We also promise to love and pray for you every day of our lives, [ 824 → 829] and should the grace of God prompt you to become fully Catholic once again one day before you die. [ 829 → 830] And there's another. [ 830 → 834] Another very popular error, the idea that a public heretic like Francis [ 834 → 840] is in fact a Catholic, just not fully, that you can be a partial Catholic. [ 840 → 843] That's a very common misconception held by many today, [ 844 → 847] even by many of those who consider themselves staunch defenders [ 847 → 850] of the traditional Roman Catholic religion. [ 851 → 855] That was shot down by Pope Benedict XV on November 1st, 1914, [ 856 → 857] when he taught, quote, [ 857 → 860] such is the nature of Catholicism, [ 860 → 863] that it does not admit of more or less, [ 863 → 868] but must be held as a whole, or as a whole rejected, unquote. [ 868 → 872] That's from the encyclical Ad Beatissimi, number 24. [ 873 → 878] So, there is no such thing as being more Catholic or less Catholic. [ 879 → 883] Holy Father, we beg you, for God's sake and for the sake of the whole world, [ 883 → 888] listen to the cries of your scattered sheep and become shepherd to them once again. [ 888 → 892] Become Christ's vicar, become Peter's successor, [ 893 → 895] and become our true Holy Father. [ 895 → 899] I'm sorry, but how much more asinine can it get? [ 900 → 902] Become Christ's vicar? [ 902 → 904] Become Peter's successor? [ 905 → 907] Become a true Holy Father? [ 908 → 910] This is mind-boggling, [ 910 → 914] especially when you consider how much the remnant and the other recognizing resistors [ 914 → 917] tend to despise that of a countess at the same time. [ 917 → 918] I can't say he's... [ 918 → 919] He's not the Pope. [ 919 → 920] Now you're in schism. [ 921 → 922] Now you're outside the Church. [ 923 → 924] Oh, yeah. [ 924 → 927] And speaking of being outside the Church... [ 928 → 929] For until that happens, [ 930 → 931] we, your most loyal subjects, [ 932 → 934] have no alternative, have no choice, [ 935 → 936] but to resist you to the face, [ 937 → 938] with God as our witness. [ 939 → 941] This we will do until the day we die, [ 942 → 945] or until you return to the Church of Jesus Christ. [ 949 → 952] Tradcast Express is a production of Novos Ordo Watch.
