[ 0 → 4] Tradcast Express [ 30 → 33] which had begun this past Thursday. [ 34 → 38] As you can probably imagine, he had a lot to say. [ 39 → 43] And yes, I sacrificed myself and read all of it. [ 44 → 48] So please join me now in a little bit of Advent penance [ 48 → 51] as we look at some of what he said. [ 51 → 55] Let's begin with his address to priests, consecrated persons, [ 55 → 60] deacons, catechists, ecclesial associations and movements [ 60 → 60] of the Church of Christ. [ 60 → 64] This was on December 2nd. [ 64 → 67] As always, of course, he couldn't resist the temptation [ 67 → 70] to speak in metaphors, figures of speech, [ 71 → 74] because they make for great headlines, [ 74 → 79] require no theology, and admit of different interpretations. [ 80 → 83] Besides, when you have nothing of substance to say, [ 83 → 86] a metaphor can quickly come to the rescue. [ 86 → 87] Listen to this. [ 88 → 88] Quote, [ 89 → 90] Thanks to the presence, [ 90 → 93] of many of our migrant brothers and sisters, [ 93 → 94] it, the Church, [ 95 → 97] appears as a polychrome people, [ 98 → 99] a true point of encounter [ 99 → 102] between different ethnicities and cultures. [ 102 → 106] This face of the Church reflects Cyprus' own place [ 106 → 107] in the European continent. [ 108 → 110] It is a land of golden fields, [ 110 → 113] an island caressed by the waves of the sea, [ 113 → 115] but above all else, [ 115 → 117] a history of intertwined peoples, [ 117 → 119] a mosaic of encounters. [ 120 → 123] The Church, as Catholic, universal, [ 123 → 126] is an open space in which all are welcomed [ 126 → 130] and gathered together by God's mercy [ 130 → 132] and invitation to love. [ 132 → 133] Unquote. [ 134 → 136] Actually, no. [ 136 → 139] The Church does not welcome all people. [ 140 → 143] She only welcomes those who are at least open [ 143 → 146] to being Catholics, open to conversion. [ 147 → 150] She does not, for example, welcome those [ 150 → 151] who are publicly scandalous [ 151 → 155] and have no intention of amending their ways. [ 155 → 159] Those, in fact, she excludes and excommunicates, [ 160 → 161] not because she is hateful, [ 162 → 163] but because she is loving. [ 164 → 168] And such an expulsion of a publicly unrepentant great sinner [ 168 → 169] is often the last resort, [ 169 → 173] the only means left to get him to repent. [ 174 → 177] So, the Church's exclusion of those [ 177 → 180] who obstinately refuse to do the minimum, [ 180 → 182] necessary to be accepted in the Church, [ 183 → 186] is actually a mercy towards such souls. [ 187 → 189] But, Chaos Frank continues. [ 189 → 190] Quote, [ 190 → 200] Wrong again. [ 201 → 205] In fact, you cannot have a building without walls. [ 206 → 208] Just bridges aren't going to cut it. [ 208 → 209] In fact, [ 210 → 211] if you remove walls, [ 211 → 213] if you remove borders and boundaries, [ 214 → 215] you know what happens? [ 216 → 218] Everything dissolves. [ 218 → 221] Whether it be a country, a building, a society, [ 222 → 224] or even a cell in a living organism, [ 225 → 228] if you erase that which defines and constricts it, [ 228 → 230] it begins to dissolve. [ 230 → 231] It begins to die. [ 232 → 236] You can see that in something as simple as an egg. [ 236 → 238] If you fry an egg in your pan, [ 238 → 242] what happens when you rupture the liquid yolk? [ 243 → 244] See, that's what I mean. [ 245 → 246] It disintegrates. [ 247 → 250] You know why there are walls in the Catholic Church? [ 251 → 254] Because there are walls also in the Kingdom of Heaven. [ 255 → 256] As Christ warned us, [ 257 → 259] Then the king said to the waiters, [ 259 → 261] Bind his hands and feet, [ 261 → 264] and cast him into the exterior darkness. [ 264 → 268] There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [ 268 → 270] That's Matthew 22, 13. [ 271 → 276] The only way you can distinguish the exterior from the interior [ 276 → 278] is with a wall, [ 278 → 281] with some kind of border, boundary, perimeter. [ 282 → 285] In the story with Lazarus and the rich man, [ 285 → 287] it's a chasm that can't be overcome, [ 288 → 290] as we read in Luke 16, 26. [ 291 → 292] See, it's funny, [ 292 → 295] but Francis remembers all that very well [ 295 → 298] when it comes to things he condemns. [ 298 → 302] Like the mafia, not helping the poor, and so on. [ 302 → 304] Then he suddenly remembers [ 304 → 307] that we will be judged on how we treated others, [ 307 → 312] and that not everyone is going to find himself inside, [ 312 → 314] but some outside of heaven. [ 315 → 318] Oh, and didn't he just recently, [ 318 → 320] effective October 1st, [ 320 → 322] bar people from entering Vatican City [ 322 → 325] if they don't have the so-called Green Pass? [ 326 → 328] Talk about excluding people. [ 328 → 331] And if I'm not mistaken, [ 331 → 333] the people at the checkpoints [ 333 → 336] who vet you for that Green Pass, [ 336 → 338] I'm pretty sure they carry weapons. [ 339 → 342] You know, the kind that Francis likes to condemn. [ 343 → 348] Anyway, the false pope has a few more words of wisdom for us. [ 348 → 349] He also says, [ 350 → 350] quote, [ 351 → 355] None of us has been called here to proselytize as preachers. [ 355 → 356] Never. [ 357 → 358] Proselytism is sterile. [ 358 → 360] And does not give life. [ 361 → 361] Unquote. [ 362 → 364] You know, the way Francis talks, [ 364 → 368] you'd think that his church is full of people proselytizing, [ 368 → 370] making converts left and right, [ 370 → 372] and hammering people with [ 372 → 374] thou shalt's and thou shalt not's. [ 375 → 378] This proselytism thing is a boogeyman. [ 378 → 379] It doesn't exist, [ 379 → 382] at least not to any extent worth mentioning. [ 382 → 383] Okay? [ 383 → 384] Much less condemning. [ 384 → 387] And yet he constantly has his trap open about it. [ 388 → 389] Make no mistake, [ 389 → 392] this guy is constantly proselytizing [ 392 → 395] for his own ideology. [ 395 → 397] It's just that his ideology [ 397 → 400] seeks to dissolve the gospel. [ 400 → 402] And one of the ways he does that [ 402 → 404] is by telling people not to preach it. [ 405 → 407] But that is itself a preaching [ 407 → 410] of his own anti-gospel. [ 412 → 412] Secondly, [ 413 → 416] Francis' claim that proselytism is sterile [ 416 → 417] and doesn't give life [ 417 → 418] is a non-sense. [ 418 → 420] It's another one of those many little dogmas [ 420 → 423] he just makes up and repeats again and again, [ 423 → 425] hoping that people will believe it [ 425 → 427] just because he says it, [ 427 → 428] and says it often, [ 429 → 430] and with assertiveness. [ 430 → 432] The truth is [ 432 → 434] that proselytism worked great [ 434 → 436] for the apostles, for example. [ 437 → 440] In Acts 2, 40 and 41, we read, [ 441 → 443] And with very many other words [ 443 → 445] did he, St. Peter, [ 445 → 447] testify and exhort them. [ 447 → 447] And with very many other words, [ 447 → 449] And there were added in that day [ 449 → 451] about 3,000 souls. [ 453 → 454] So here, [ 454 → 455] sacred scripture tells us [ 455 → 458] not only that St. Peter preached [ 458 → 459] to the Jews, [ 460 → 462] telling them what to believe [ 462 → 464] and what to do, right, [ 464 → 464] how to act, [ 465 → 468] but also that he was successful [ 468 → 469] in doing so. [ 469 → 472] And it even gives a number [ 472 → 473] of the converts made, [ 473 → 475] about 3,000 souls [ 475 → 477] in one day. [ 477 → 478] Some years back, [ 478 → 479] Francis chastised someone [ 479 → 481] who told him that she'd made [ 481 → 483] a number of converts to Catholicism. [ 484 → 486] You know, triumphalism and all that. [ 486 → 486] Yeah. [ 487 → 488] The truth is, [ 489 → 491] Francis doesn't want converts. [ 491 → 493] He doesn't want anyone [ 493 → 494] coming to Catholicism [ 494 → 497] for objective and rational reasons. [ 497 → 498] At most, [ 498 → 499] he wants people to convert [ 499 → 502] based on encounter, [ 502 → 504] feelings, experience, [ 504 → 506] whatever, soup kitchen togetherness [ 506 → 507] or something. [ 508 → 509] Because then it's got [ 509 → 511] a subjective foundation. [ 511 → 513] And if it's based on something subjective, [ 514 → 516] then it can easily be integrated [ 516 → 518] into a big interreligious whole [ 518 → 521] that allows each person [ 521 → 523] his own subjective experiences [ 523 → 524] and traditions [ 524 → 526] while allowing other people [ 526 → 527] theirs. [ 528 → 530] And that is a perfect foundation [ 530 → 532] for the Big Ten universal [ 532 → 534] Freemasonic religion [ 534 → 536] in which everyone is included [ 536 → 537] because we're all in it. [ 537 → 538] We're all brothers and sisters [ 538 → 539] and ultimately, [ 539 → 542] we all believe in the same God [ 542 → 543] who manifests himself [ 543 → 544] in different traditions [ 544 → 547] and desires this diversity of belief [ 547 → 550] as an expression of his wisdom. [ 550 → 554] That is the perverted anti-gospel [ 554 → 556] Francis has been promoting. [ 556 → 558] And he's using the poor [ 558 → 560] and the needy as pawns [ 560 → 562] to give this false gospel [ 562 → 565] an air of charity and legitimacy [ 565 → 566] when in actual fact, [ 566 → 568] he cares nothing for these people's [ 568 → 570] eternal welfare [ 570 → 572] only for their bodily needs. [ 574 → 576] But what doth it profit a man [ 576 → 577] if he gained the whole world [ 577 → 579] and suffered the loss [ 579 → 580] of his own soul? [ 580 → 583] Francis is a criminal, [ 583 → 584] a spiritual criminal. [ 586 → 588] Next, Francis repeats [ 588 → 590] one of his favorite half-truths, [ 590 → 592] namely that God never [ 592 → 594] tires of forgiving. [ 594 → 596] Now, that is [ 596 → 604] a very dangerous thing to say in our times and circumstances. Certainly, God will always forgive [ 604 → 610] a soul who is sufficiently supernaturally contrite for his sins, and in fact, he goes out of his way [ 610 → 619] to draw souls to such repentance. God is definitely not outdone in mercy and forgiveness. And yes, [ 619 → 625] that is something that should be told to people, specifically to individual pious souls who are [ 625 → 633] discouraged, who perhaps are tempted by despair, and, you know, things like that. However, this is [ 633 → 640] not something you can tell a soul who is lax, who doesn't have a good grasp of the seriousness of [ 640 → 648] sin, someone who's presumptuous, and so on. In fact, to tell people indiscriminately that God [ 648 → 655] never tires of forgiving, and then leaving it at that, is tantamount to encouraging them to [ 655 → 655] keep on praying. [ 655 → 660] Keep sinning. And that is exactly what Francis is continually doing. [ 661 → 669] Look at the state of our world today, especially the decadent post-Christian West. If there is one [ 669 → 676] thing this world doesn't need to hear more of, it's that God always forgives. It's completely [ 676 → 685] the wrong message. This world needs to hear about God's justice, that eternal condemnation is real, [ 685 → 690] that most of humanity is on its certain way there, unless there is genuine conversion, [ 691 → 698] that God cannot be mocked, that God will avenge man's crimes against him, especially blasphemy, [ 699 → 708] apostasy, heresy, and the murder of the unborn, and the fact that in the end, no one will get away [ 708 → 714] with anything. That is the message this world needs to hear. We don't need any more [ 714 → 725] sermons on tenderness and caresses, on closeness and mercy. I'm sorry, but there's still more [ 725 → 731] from the Frankster. Let's briefly go to the address he gave on December 3rd in the Eastern [ 731 → 738] Orthodox Cathedral in Nicosia, Cyprus. There, the apostate Jesuit said, quote, [ 738 → 743] the gospel is not handed on by communication, but by communion. [ 743 → 752] Unquote. Now, what an idiotic thing to say, right? You know, if he'd said that the gospel [ 752 → 758] is not only handed on by communication, that would have been perfectly fine. But no, [ 758 → 765] smart Alec Bergoglio, of course, says it's not handed on by communication at all. Really now? [ 766 → 772] Let's see what St. Paul says about that. And how shall they hear without a preacher? [ 773 → 773] Faith? [ 773 → 777] Then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. [ 778 → 785] That's a quote from Romans chapter 10, verses 14 and 17. It should be pretty obvious that if [ 785 → 791] you've been charged with transmitting the doctrine of Jesus Christ, then at some point, [ 791 → 797] somehow, you're going to have to communicate. Which is, of course, exactly what the apostles [ 797 → 802] did. Read the Acts of the Apostles, and then tell me with a straight face, [ 802 → 806] that the gospel wasn't handed on by communication. [ 808 → 816] Oh, and by the way, isn't the gospel kind of a precondition for communion? How can you be in a [ 816 → 825] supernatural common union if you don't first communicate the gospel? But hey, no, not according [ 825 → 830] to Francis. The gospel isn't handed on by communication. [ 830 → 838] Which raises the question, if he has nothing to communicate, why does he talk so much?
