[ 0 → 4] TrapCast Express [ 4 → 15] TrapCast Express, it's Tuesday, October 13th, 2020. [ 15 → 21] Just over a week ago, the Argentinian apostate masquerading as the Pope of the Catholic Church [ 21 → 28] issued his third encyclical letter, and it's entitled Fratelli Tutti, Brothers All. [ 28 → 35] In just under 43,000 words in English, Francis has failed to surprise. [ 35 → 42] He proposes a utopian vision of human fraternity that is independent of God and religion, [ 42 → 48] and merely the result of all people dialoguing and respecting each other's dignity, [ 49 → 53] just getting along to make the world a better place. [ 53 → 57] In Colossians 3, verse 2, St. Paul writes, [ 58 → 68] In this new encyclical, Francis does the exact opposite. [ 69 → 75] There is nothing supernatural in Francis' vision of that new fraternal world. [ 75 → 80] The concept of fraternity that Francis proposes is thoroughly naturalist. [ 82 → 87] It is the fraternity of Freemasonry, a fraternity based entirely on the natural body, [ 87 → 88] based entirely on the natural body, based entirely on the natural body, based entirely on the natural body, [ 88 → 95] that exists between men, totally disregarding the fact that every human being is called by God [ 95 → 102] to share in his divine life through grace, the culmination of which is eternal beatitude in heaven. [ 103 → 110] The new civilization Francis wants for mankind is not one based on the truth of the gospel [ 110 → 115] and the supernatural bonds of faith, hope, and charity with Christ as king. [ 115 → 118] It is a secularist civilization. [ 118 → 121] It is a secularist civilization of liberty, equality, fraternity. [ 122 → 130] And yes, he even uses that very motto of the French Revolution in paragraph 219 of the encyclical. [ 131 → 138] In 1910, Pope St. Pius X condemned the French movement known as Le Sillon, [ 139 → 141] a term that means the pharaoh. [ 142 → 145] The Sillon originally started out as a Catholic movement, [ 145 → 148] but before long adopted dangerous, [ 148 → 154] social, and political errors that the Pope condemned as Sillonism [ 154 → 161] in his apostolic letter, Notre Charge Apostolique of August 25th, 1910. [ 161 → 164] In particular, the Pope criticized, among other things, [ 165 → 169] the Sillon's idea of human fraternity as being based, quote, [ 169 → 175] on the love of common interest or, beyond all philosophies and religions, [ 175 → 178] on the mere notion of humanity. [ 178 → 184] Thus embracing with an equal love and tolerance all human beings and their miseries, [ 185 → 190] whether these are intellectual, moral, or physical and temporal, unquote. [ 191 → 195] Now, that is exactly what Francis proposes in Fratelli Tutti, [ 195 → 199] a fraternity based simply on our common humanity [ 199 → 204] with religious liberty, tolerance, dialogue, and respect for all. [ 205 → 207] Now, listen to how Pius X, [ 208 → 212] not only a Pope, but also a canonized saint, refutes this. [ 214 → 214] Quote, [ 214 → 219] But Catholic doctrine tells us that the primary duty of charity [ 219 → 226] does not lie in the toleration of false ideas, however sincere they may be, [ 226 → 229] nor in the theoretical or practical indifference [ 229 → 234] towards the errors and vices in which we see our brethren plunged, [ 235 → 238] but in the zeal for their intellectual, [ 238 → 243] and moral improvement, as well as for their material well-being. [ 243 → 246] Catholic doctrine further tells us that [ 246 → 249] love for our neighbor flows from our love for God, [ 250 → 254] who is father to all and goal of the whole human family, [ 254 → 257] and in Jesus Christ, whose members we are, [ 257 → 262] to the point that in doing good to others, we are doing good to Jesus Christ himself. [ 263 → 267] Any other kind of love is sheer illusion, sterile, and fleeting. [ 268 → 274] Indeed, we have the human experience of pagan and secular societies of ages past [ 274 → 279] to show that concern for common interests or affinities of nature [ 279 → 284] weigh very little against the passions and wild desires of the heart. [ 285 → 291] No, venerable brethren, there is no genuine fraternity outside Christian charity. [ 292 → 296] Through the love of God and his Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, [ 296 → 298] Christian charity embraces the love of God. [ 298 → 300] Christian charity embraces all men, comforts all, [ 301 → 306] and leads all to the same faith and same heavenly happiness. [ 306 → 311] By separating fraternity from Christian charity thus understood, [ 311 → 314] democracy, far from being a progress, [ 314 → 317] would mean a disastrous step backwards for civilization. [ 318 → 320] If, as we desire with all our heart, [ 321 → 325] the highest possible peak of well-being for society and its members [ 325 → 328] is to be attained through fraternity, [ 328 → 331] or, as it is called, universal solidarity, [ 332 → 336] all minds must be united in the knowledge of truth, [ 337 → 339] all wills united in morality, [ 339 → 343] and all hearts in the love of God and his Son, Jesus Christ. [ 344 → 349] But this union is attainable only by Catholic charity. [ 349 → 354] And that is why Catholic charity alone can lead the people [ 354 → 357] in the march of progress towards the ideal society. [ 357 → 387] And that is why Catholic charity alone can lead the people in the march of progress towards the ideal society. [ 388 → 390] of relativism or agnosticism, [ 390 → 394] as though the gospel were merely our personal conviction [ 394 → 397] and not necessarily the truth God has revealed, [ 397 → 400] and which is true objectively and for all people. [ 401 → 403] In other words, Francis gives the impression [ 403 → 408] that the faith is just an opinion and others have other views. [ 409 → 414] And so, for example, he writes in Fratelli Tutti paragraph 277, [ 414 → 414] quote, [ 414 → 417] for us, he's talking about us Christians, [ 417 → 426] For us, the wellspring of human dignity and fraternity is in the gospel of Jesus Christ, unquote. [ 426 → 435] And of course, he is happy to note in the same paragraph that, quote, others drink from other sources, unquote. [ 435 → 444] See, this is a perfect example of how this antipope continually uses God merely as a means, a method, [ 444 → 449] a tool to get people to accept whatever it is that he wants to teach them. [ 450 → 458] He doesn't care what religion you are for as long as you subscribe to his ideas about human dignity, peace, environmentalism, [ 459 → 464] humanitarianism, open borders, tearing down walls, and building bridges. [ 465 → 471] It's all naturalism, all focused on the temporal world with a merely earthly end. [ 471 → 474] The salvation of souls is completely out of the picture. [ 474 → 479] And in any case, that is a topic he brings up only for his own sheeple, [ 479 → 482] and then everybody goes to heaven anyway, except for the mafia. [ 483 → 484] That is Francis. [ 485 → 491] Okay, let's go ahead now and look some more of the content of Fratelli Tutti. [ 491 → 496] Of course, it wouldn't be a real novel sort of encyclical if it didn't include heresy. [ 496 → 497] And there's several of them. [ 497 → 502] For example, in paragraph 195, make sure you're sitting down for this. [ 503 → 504] In paragraph 195, [ 504 → 506] he brazenly writes, [ 506 → 524] Yes, he really wrote that. [ 524 → 530] In fact, it's a quote of himself, of which there are a ton in Fratelli Tutti. [ 530 → 533] It's a quote from the exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, [ 534 → 534] which he released, [ 534 → 537] on November 24th, 2013. [ 538 → 540] It's paragraph 274 there. [ 541 → 543] Go ahead and look it up if you like. [ 544 → 550] Now, obviously, this is so heretical and so asinine that it doesn't require any refutation. [ 551 → 556] If you think that every person is immensely holy, then I can't help you. [ 556 → 557] Okay? [ 557 → 560] It's heretical because it's a denial of original sin, [ 561 → 563] a favorite heresy of the modernists. [ 563 → 564] In fact, [ 564 → 570] a denial of original sin or its consequences is manifest throughout Fratelli Tutti. [ 570 → 576] Francis continually speaks about humanity as if it were not in need of God's help [ 576 → 578] to overcome its miseries. [ 579 → 583] It is truly a godless document in that sense. [ 583 → 587] Remember that St. Pius X noted that the [ 587 → 594] affinities of nature weigh very little against the passions and wild desires of the heart. [ 594 → 596] That's because of concupiscence, [ 596 → 599] one of the consequences of original sin. [ 601 → 606] Concupiscence is basically the inherent inclination towards sin and vice that we have. [ 607 → 609] It's much easier for us, for instance, [ 609 → 612] to commit gluttony than to practice temperance. [ 613 → 613] Right? [ 613 → 616] It's easier to stuff your face than to fast. [ 617 → 620] That's why we need grace to overcome that. [ 620 → 624] We need supernatural help because our fallen human nature, [ 624 → 625] left to itself, [ 626 → 627] is dragging us down, [ 627 → 628] down into sin, [ 629 → 631] and ultimately into hell. [ 632 → 633] Now, mind you, [ 633 → 637] Francis does mention concupiscence in his Masonic Screed. [ 637 → 638] In paragraph 166, [ 639 → 640] he defines it as, [ 641 → 642] human weakness, [ 642 → 644] the proclivity to selfishness, [ 645 → 648] the human inclination to be concerned only with myself, [ 649 → 649] my group, [ 650 → 651] my own petty interests, [ 652 → 652] unquote. [ 653 → 653] Now, [ 653 → 655] that is, of course, [ 655 → 659] a decidedly Bergolian definition of concupiscence and not really accurate, [ 660 → 661] but we'll let that slide. [ 661 → 664] He even mentions in the same paragraph that this concupiscence, [ 665 → 666] quote, [ 666 → 669] can be overcome with the help of God, [ 669 → 670] unquote. [ 670 → 671] Tremendous. [ 672 → 675] He doesn't mention supernatural grace there, of course, [ 675 → 680] and the rest of his encyclical doesn't reflect at all the idea that God's grace is needed [ 680 → 683] to overcome man's inclination towards sin and strife, [ 683 → 686] probably because to do that, [ 686 → 688] he'd have to start talking about the true faith, [ 689 → 691] and that's the last thing he wants to promote. [ 692 → 695] Now, even in that one paragraph, 166, [ 696 → 698] Francis has buried another heresy. [ 699 → 700] He writes, quote, [ 700 → 707] unquote. [ 707 → 711] That is heresy because, of course, [ 711 → 713] it has not been present. [ 713 → 715] It hasn't been present from the beginning of humanity, [ 715 → 718] but only since the fall of Adam and Eve. [ 718 → 722] God did not create man with original sin. [ 722 → 725] God created man with original justice. [ 726 → 731] He endowed man with the gratuitous gift of sanctifying grace to elevate his nature. [ 732 → 734] No concupiscence was present. [ 734 → 737] That's why Adam and Eve didn't have to wear clothes. [ 737 → 742] Their passions perfectly and effortlessly obeyed the dictates of reason. [ 743 → 746] Concupiscence didn't enter the world [ 746 → 748] till Adam and Eve had committed the first sin. [ 749 → 751] Concupiscence is not a sin itself, [ 751 → 754] but a consequence of original sin. [ 754 → 756] Of course, Francis mentions none of that. [ 757 → 760] He talks a lot about the human family and human fraternity, [ 761 → 766] but never mentions the fact that we all come from the same set of parents, [ 766 → 767] Adam and Eve. [ 768 → 773] That might upset the godless evolutionists he likes to hobnob with in the Vatican. [ 774 → 777] Okay, here's another whopper found in Fratelli Tutti. [ 777 → 779] Paragraph 71. [ 780 → 782] Referring to the parable of the Good Samaritan, [ 783 → 784] Bergoglio claims, quote, [ 785 → 788] Jesus trusts in the best of the human spirit. [ 788 → 792] With this parable, he encourages us to persevere in love, [ 792 → 794] to restore dignity to the suffering, [ 794 → 799] and to build a society worthy of the name, unquote. [ 799 → 800] Yeah, right. [ 801 → 803] Christ trusts in the best. [ 803 → 805] The best of the human spirit, you have got to be kidding. [ 806 → 809] The human spirit, as Francis likes to call it, [ 809 → 815] is precisely what our blessed Lord came to redeem and purify and elevate again to grace. [ 816 → 819] Speaking of those who believed in Christ, [ 819 → 821] St. John the Evangelist writes, [ 821 → 826] But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, [ 826 → 830] and because he needed not that any should give testimony of man, [ 831 → 833] for he knew what was in. [ 833 → 837] That's John 2, 24 and 25. [ 837 → 842] Yes, our Lord knew what was in man, and it wasn't anything to brag about. [ 842 → 843] For example, [ 844 → 857] That's what our Lord said in Matthew 15, verse 19. [ 858 → 862] Or how about St. Luke's Gospel, chapter 6, verse 45? [ 862 → 862] Out of faith. [ 862 → 863] Out of faith. [ 863 → 866] With the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. [ 867 → 871] So no, Christ definitely doesn't trust in the best of man, [ 871 → 875] because without supernatural grace, man is a moral train wreck, [ 876 → 878] as the Old Testament amply demonstrates. [ 879 → 883] But then, of course, Francis believes all people are exceptionally holy, [ 883 → 886] so I guess for him, it's not a problem. [ 888 → 891] Well, we could go on forever, but this is an Express podcast, [ 891 → 892] so we'll keep it short. [ 892 → 895] If you want more information about Fratelli Tutti, [ 895 → 898] you can find it on the Novos Ordo Watch website. [ 898 → 904] Go to novosordowatch.org slash wire to access the blog. [ 904 → 908] That's novosordowatch.org slash wire. [ 909 → 912] We've been cranking out a number of posts already on that encyclical, [ 913 → 917] including some with links to the full text in various languages. [ 918 → 920] Select highlights from the document, [ 920 → 922] summaries, initial reactions, [ 922 → 923] and critiques. [ 924 → 928] A post about the Freemasons of the Spanish Grand Orient Lodge [ 928 → 929] celebrating the encyclical. [ 930 → 935] And, best of all, a new episode of the popular podcast program, [ 936 → 938] Francis Watch, in which you can hear [ 938 → 942] Sedevacanist Bishop Donald Sanborn mop the floor [ 942 → 945] with Chaos Frank and his Masonic screed. [ 946 → 948] Novosordowatch.org slash wire. [ 950 → 951] Ladies and gentlemen, [ 951 → 952] last week, [ 952 → 954] I took one for the team [ 954 → 957] and read the entire encyclical. [ 957 → 960] It can be summed up in three words. [ 961 → 963] Humanity, save thyself. [ 964 → 968] While God does make an occasional cameo appearance in the text, [ 968 → 972] he is by no means essential to Francis' message. [ 973 → 976] Bergoglio's foundation is human dignity. [ 976 → 978] His method is dialogue, [ 978 → 981] and his goal is fraternity. [ 981 → 982] God, [ 982 → 985] doesn't really play a role in this document, [ 985 → 988] except perhaps as the reason for human dignity [ 988 → 992] and to get believers to jump on the fraternity bandwagon. [ 993 → 996] God is merely used as a prop [ 996 → 998] to make the false gospel of man [ 998 → 1001] more palatable to religious people. [1003 → 1006] Fratelli tutti is so naturalistic and godless [1006 → 1010] that it might as well have been written by an atheist. [1010 → 1012] Or maybe it was.
